How verifiable is this? My hobby is researching both the lives of billionaires and, unrelated, precision guided munitions.

Why do you cut the sweatpant cuffs off?

Also careful if you take Adderall or similar medications, you can rinse your mouth out but don't swallow any of it. Antiacids will send you to the moon because they drastically increase medication uptake.

That's kinda what SAR sats do. They're using radio waves but they illuminate swaths of the planet with a big dish/array and then look at the reflections. LIDAR sats too.

Yeah that's the real answer...

Interesting, I haven't heard about that.

For systems that...may experience some degree of vacuum...it's common to use lead solder still because it doesn't tin whisker so unfortunately it's still around for some of the stuff I've worked on.

Ah a fellow perun addict.

Honestly I think he oversold the effectiveness of the systems. The work I did is still ongoing so I'm up to speed on the available systems, though mostly on the RF side. If you watch the stuff coming out of Ukraine the drones aren't really being impeded all that much and if you know how to use ardupilot and selectively enable your data link you can pretty much get away with whatever you want because the US isn't gonna allow anyone to jam GPS right next to multiple major airports. If you want to avoid even relying on GPS there are starting to be mature solutions out there too.

Only if you unnecessarily include a ChatGPT voice assistant

Oh 100% magic. And SMT hot air soldering is voodoo magic

That's still an absurd amount given the context
