Wouldn't it be great if Starlink satellites would start falling on cars repeatedly violating parking laws? I mean, it's a gain-gain-gain situation: carbrains get punished, we get rid of shit from the orbit, and perhaps someone will finally get to Elon's ass.

De discussie over minder afhankelijkheid van de VS in digitale zin moet met de start van het nieuwe kabinet in mijn ogen echt in een flink hogere versnelling, niet over de vraag of het kan, maar hoe we het gaan doen en hoe we kunnen versnellen, samen met andere EU-landen.
Doing further research into the origins of the Abrahamic religions following my essay on The Claimants to the Tortured Land, I learn that by a supreme irony, #Israel itself is named after...
Drumroll....
A CANAANITE DEITY.
Yes, that's right. The name 'Israel' honours not יהוה, but El.
Someone created a website where you can make bets on German trains and their delay.
Biggest payout is probably for a train to be on time :-D

"The crew was hungry, the crew was angry, and we tried to survive only day-by-day."
"Back in 2016, 20 ships were abandoned around the world, according to the ITF. In 2025 the number had ballooned to 410, with 6,223 merchant seamen falling victim. Both of those figures for last year were up by almost a third on 2024."

Wow, this Gov't - esp Simon Watts - are so ridiculous in their insistence on gas rather than focusing on renewable electricity generation. This $ billion terminal they propose is a dead duck before it's even built. It's throwing good money after bad, digging the fossil fuel hole deeper rather than filling it in. Watts is also wrong that the terminal is faster to build than renewables. So dim and/or corrupt.

I had a medium distance/degree cousin who wrote two - yes two! - episodes for this TV series...
And if you listen closely to various episodes you will recognize the voice of the Billionaire John Berrisford Tipton as someone who moonlights for narration jobs on old Disney films or was Orson Wells.

I don’t care if someone calls stuff “spaceflight” (though that usually includes portions of actual flight through air).
But if it’s for a scientific or technology discussion it’s hugely inaccurate and misleading.
In space, things always move in orbits, which is essentially more or less perpetually falling.
To make things go places (e.g. make a thing go to Mars), you change how it’s falling.
Play some Kerbal Space Program some time!
I’m now hearing word that ICE just killed somebody in Minneapolis. I have no solid details. I’ll post more when I hear more info that is verified and sharable.
UPDATE: Word is someone •shot• by ICE, not just e.g. injured by their dangerous and reckless driving. Again, this is all rumors flying between neighbors for now.
