Exactly, that seems like the reasonable reading of the statement to me

While we can all agree Trump is an ass, I think you've misunderstood this statement.

He's not saying "it's important that republicans don't vote if we fail to solve the election fraud", he's saying "it's important to solve the fraud, because otherwise next time republicans won't be allowed to vote".

He's claiming that republican votes won't be counted, or that they won't be allowed to place a vote at all, because the democrats will have rigged the system and/or deprived them of the right to vote

That's apparently less risky than riding back on Starliner

Not necessarily. The dangers involved in coming home packed like unsuited sardines in the back of a Dragon only come into play if they need to evacuated the ISS to begin with, so they're saying the odds of abandoning the ISS and the Dragon capsule loosing it's atmosphere are better than the odds of a catastrophic failure of the Starliner

Fair enough, I didn't consider compute resources

The actual length of the password isn't the problem. If they were "doing stuff right" then it would make no difference to them whether the password was 20 characters or 200, because once it was hashed both would be stored in the same amount of space.

The fact that they've specified a limit is strong evidence that they'renot doing it right

The crew of Apollo 13 weren't really stranded, as such. They were far from home and not sure if they had the means to get home before the supplies ran out, which is a different problem

Surely the main problem with colonialism was mistreatment of the people who were already living there? I don't see how it's a problem on barren rock, or in vacuum

HARM is a category of weapon which seeks things like radar or jammers. They weren't suggesting that the jammers are literally harmless.

In unrelated news: the jammers are, in fact, harmless unless you're making a habit of riding on top of the tank. The radio energy isn't going to penetrate a significant thickness of conductive material, such as armour plating. Or unless you're the person being jammed, in which case they're a different category of harmful

I've seen another thread in which someone shared what they claim to be a table of the actual data on which the accusation is based. Unless they were making it up entirely, then it's pretty clear that the data is simply wrong. It was littered with what could only be typos involving misplaced decimal points, with consecutive measurements being different by almost exactly a factor of 1000

I don't see "about 10 years", I see "decades or longer".

10 years would be a miracle, there's effectively no atmosphere above about 600km (which is one reason the other mega constellations have been at or around 500km)

Except what they deliberately deorbit (which they'll probably be trying to do, if only to avoid fouling up their own orbit) they're going to generate debris which is up there for centuries, realistically

I was about to comment that those concerns are always exaggerated by people who object to the constellations for other reasons, and that they're in a low enough orbit that it's not a realistic concern due to atmospheric drag, but I checked first and god damnit, they're putting these things at 800km. That's absolutely high enough that they'll be there pretty much forever, unless someone goes out of their way to clean it up

I think you misunderstood. They're pointing out that the Falcon 9's upper stage is always expended
