Now you're making me want to write a story about a high stakes embroidery counterfeiting ring

Even worse the Hollywood Effect makes the stuff that I do that's ACTUALLY impressive look like routine.

Fuckers will literally clap if I unjam their printer but manually recalculate a CRC header for a mission critical live database without a second of downtime and they're like 'Ok but isn't that your job?'

BITCH LESS THAN 5 PEOPLE IN THE STATE CAN DO THIS

But you just typed in some numbers

BITCH I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN UNDER FOUR HOURS HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT NUMBERS TO USE

As a kid watching Miami Vice, except for a few external shots I was like "Umm... that's not miami..."

And the few shots that were kind of just had Sonny and Rico walk-talking past buildings that were like eight blocks apart from each other in the same conversation

If there is a god to bless people, then people like you deserve it the most.

You act that way because you work in a career that can dismember you if you are careless, so you've trained yourself in ways that almost no actor could ever capture, and certainly no screenwriter would ever consider

To be fair there are a few Unify router setups in even big corporate settings that use the default passwords, and if you can get into the control panel, you pretty much could disable basically anything in a few keystrokes

I have changed annoying PA music in public venues from my phone, for example

But yeah, movies almost never get IT or secops correct

I work in IT so basically everything

And somehow mcdonald's is expected to be quality barbecue?

None of these chains are any good but we use (or used to use them) for convenience and consistency

Never excellence because we know all the excellent places get bought out and turned into corporate shit factories so we pick the least offensive shit factory that suits our lifestyles and just get on with the business of working in a world that is slowly burning down to feed the greed of a pathologically insatiable owner class

I used to be very wrong about trans people until I talked to a trans person for about 3 minutes

When I realized it had nothing to do with sexualization and all about identity I stopped, apologized and asked a bunch of questions

My interlocutor kind of didn't know how to handle it and it took a moment for them to defuse, as I'm sure they were expecting shouting or worse. After that we had a real meaningful conversation that gave me a lot to think about.

A lot of coke was snorted at Hasbro in the 80s. Transformers and Gi Joe made them a mint so they were desperate to milk any toy they already had with a cartoon series

I cannot stress how vapid and terrible every aspect of this cartoon is. From the fact that Rubik is an alien that does magic to the fact that the main villains of the show are a pair of inept petty thieves just provides nothing but agony

And I've probably seen every episode at least 7 times

If you had told child me that this cartoon was going to be something I was legit ashamed to have wasted time on, I would have called you a liar and refused to share any snacks from that point on.

if you won't even take the effort to follow a subthread why am I wasting my time replying?

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYs_GCy9PRk](You motherfuckers don't even know Rubik or the metric fucktonnes of 80's drugs that went into making it

I already cited the initial paper I'm not sure what the fuck you think you did to deserve more free labor out of me

Have you ever seen that demonstration with the tennis ball and the yoga ball and the tennis ball gets launched way way up?

Thats what happens to the part on the opposite side of the collision, easily, EASILY ejecting debris into higher orbits

Fortunately, the very clever scientists at NASA have long since determined that there is essentially no risk from Starlink and similar satellite constellations,

That is patently not true to the point that it is effectively a lie

This entire discussion you have been intellectually dishonest and using propaganda talking points. You are no longer welcome on my internet.

Dwarf Fortress

just because I went Comp Sci when they went aerospace doesn't mean I'm bad at math.

And the math has always said that all it takes is 1/4th of a ball bearing at orbital speeds to turn a satellite into a cloud of millions of shards of ridiculously fast shrapnel.

You can literally see the results in any physics simulation you care to try

The problem why you are unconvinced is you don't understand the mass given to every object at orbital speeds and all of your personal experience has been with relatively slow moving things like race cars and jets.

This is literally a case of you being too ignorant to understand the danger while simultaneously being so arrogant as to dismiss the quietly whispered warnings of terrified experts.

Ah, just like reddit

I'm sorry but physics calculations have no room for opinion

The fucking NASA scientist that came up with this scenario is Donald Kessler, it is literally named after him

They have been warning about this since before you were born.

Why are you so fundamentally resistant to truth?

... an ablative cascade would destroy nearly every satellite and would render ALL launches russian roulette with 5 chambers filled, and it would last for centuries.

I really have no idea where you are getting your numbers from but there's ALREADY enough high velocity mass to make LEO a minefield for generations and we're not stopping launching.
