Starlink satelites are about 341 miles above earth, on average. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/starlink-everything-know-network-satellites-151511672.html
Ozone layer is 9-18 miles above earth’s surface. https://www.epa.gov/ozone-layer-protection/basic-ozone-layer-science
you remember incorrectly.
I don’t see your point.
Building fossil fuel power infrastructure does nothing to move the needle, but building renewables does.
What are you actually proposing? Because it reads as “we shouldn’t try because any benefits or impacts are long-term”
But the fun thing is that once we reach a critical point, it will go from having a positive carbon impact to a negative carbon impact. But we can never get there if we never start
It’s all about scale and infrastructure.
Theocracy
Huh. Nothing to do woth religion…
There’s plenty of infectious agents that can just lay dormant almost indefinitely.
There’s major concern about viruses coming from the melting permafrost in regions like Siberia.
If you want to hear something even more terrifying, prions can last about indefinitely. Chronic wasting disease in deer is particularly bad because a deer might die and its remains will decompose into the earth. But vegetation will later grow, and some of those prions will have contaminated the new vegetation. A new deer will get infected by eating that vegetation, even years later.
Isn’t that better than… Like, drowning?
Yeah but it’s not like you eat it
Film too, any trickery in the darkroom should be labeled because it cannot show which parts are real and which are not.
Generative fill on a dummy layer, then apply 0% opacity
I say let it happen. If someone is dumb enough to fire all their workers… They deserve what will happen next
Probably related to dryness of winter air?
It’s not just the content, it’s the ecosystem
If you’re training ai, you need a way to evaluate outputs. What better way than through karma score?
Because in public, the ground is probably more gross than your feet (dogshit, car oil), but in your home, your shoes are probably more gross than your own feet.
Similarly, in public, seeing other people’s feet is gross. But not as much at home.
If we’re talking about a direct hit, the radiation is going to be substantial
That would have to be a big ship to feel a shock wave without being consumed by the ball of plasma
That’s only because agriculture had really great lobbyists at one point. So we have really specific naming regulations.
It’s just ground cheese with citrate.
It’s the same reason you couldn’t call peanutbutter “peanuts”
I bet money Russia starts getting absurdly good. And they’ll have really good info. And it will be because of starlink.
