Sooo only gonna blow up the test databases?

Depends how bad the turbulence is.

I have a kid. She turns 18 in September. I thought it was funny.

I also still make jokes about my mom, and she is now sitting on top of a shelf at Dad’s house as of a few months ago.

Equality does not truly exist until everyone is equally armed. Money can only be synonymous with power, as long as the people allow it to be.

When two groups of people are more or less equally armed, neither has the advantage over the other.

What many people fail to realize is that while armaments have changed over thousands of years, as long as there appears to be a balance of power, peace happens.

But once one group or another no longer perceives “the other” as being equal in power to them war is inevitable.

That, in a nutshell, is what is happening today in the USA.

When one group of people has weapons, and the other doesn’t, it won’t be long before the first group decides the 2nd group looks like easy pickings.

Difference is the school isn’t going to confiscate my kid’s watch (yet)

I’ve been rockin my HL3170CDW for many years now. I have absolutely no issues with this printer, and I’ll buy nothing else.

This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.

Banning something is not the market regulating itself. That’s outside forces regulating the market…

Yes please. Can’t be much worse than what we have now.

I’m predicting they build it in just 2 or 3 cities, then quit.

Again.

Pontiac was a part of GM, who standardized most parts across all their brands decades ago.

There’s no parent company for Tesla.

Oh no. They’ll have to use Linux! A few billion new people using it would certainly bump it up a notch or 4.

I read this in an orange accent.

How dare they make a profit!? It’s only the whole reason they’re in business after all…

Ever notice that it’s the governments that shoot people for not buying what they sell?

You can see the US federal government imploding at this very moment, all because one side or the other takes power, and your first thought is to give them power of control over your Internet services??

Just…wow.

Guess it’s ok when governments leave debris by shooting at satellites, but not when businesses do?

Weird.

So? The ISS is due to be decommissioned soon and the HST has been failing from orbit for a while now.

Telescopes on the far side of the moon would see far far more than any telescope in earth orbit and especially any on the ground.

Things in space don’t veer wildly out of control when they fail. They stay pretty much in their existing orbit.

It’s not like these satellites have big thrusters or engines just propelling them constantly around the planet. They’re in a state of free fall. They’re just also moving sideways fast enough that the earth also falls away from them at around the same speed that they are falling towards it.

Lower orbits have far more atmospheric drag, and any debris in those orbits will simply slow down enough to stop missing the planet.

There’s so much more room out there than there is here on this finite planet.

Weird. My Google Pixel 9 Pro XL has 3 navigation buttons.

That’s something that’s customizable using the stock firmware.

Settings -> Display & touch -> Navigation mode.

My Google Assistant still responds to “Hey Google” or “ok Google” just fine as well on my Google phone.

Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!
