Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)

I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.

Yawn, this ignorant trope again. Go learn to read 17th and 18th century prose.

Yawn, it's clear you don't know how to read literature from the period. There's plenty of explanation of the phrasing, indeed by the writers themselves in contemporary missives. But you don't really care, you already have your ideology.

Go read any Jane Austen and you'll learn. Even better, the Federalist Papers, or the Adams/Jefferson letters.

Exactly!

"You can't out run a bad diet".

Exercise helps, but once you do the math and see how many calories hard exercise consumes vs how easy it is to eat more calories, it becomes very clear.

Lol, trying to dictate to half of US states wasn't working?

Yep, the explosion of administration in colleges/universities since the early 80's is the massive problem.

What's interesting is some people recognized the oncoming issues in the 60's! Robert Persig notes it, albeit somewhat obliquely, in his book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

We need to see some new educational competitors out there. When you can get the education for a fraction of what these government-secured organizations charge, then we'll see change.

Define "work".

If you can't see how you moved them, I can't help you.

Huh?

You're here aren't you? I think that says you consider the tradeoffs worth it.

Good points/explanation about the fragmentation breaking the communication.

Hmm, not sure if we can take any active position toward "fixing", since it's really hard to predict the outcome of our actions. Perhaps this is something that will continue to mature as communities coalesce.

I think I'd still like the ability to build my own in-app filters that aggregate communities. Like you'd do with a podcast app. Then at least (for an individual) you'd see all the posts that you consider related in a single feed/folder/view.

It's definitely not a simple problem.

From the US. Communist was tired 40 years ago. I saw it first hand, by the 70's kids were already getting tired of it, by the 80's the next generation just said "sure gramps".

Yea, you still hear it a little today, but nothing like it used to be.

Nice comparisons. Will add that to my explanations.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh crap, you already done lost me in the second half there, but I'll give the link a watch.

Thanks again!

I've worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them "sorry, I, as an American, don't define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me".

"US", "America", "Americans" all have specific denotations... per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.

It's like nicknames - if you have one, you didn't choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.

Yawn.

Did you just finish Sophistry 101? Cause that's all we're hearing out of you.

I mean you've climbed up on the cross, and it looks like you're even putting the nails in yourself.

Save some wood for Jesus.

Yea, that's on the asswipe saying that. We get to meet them everywhere.

That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.

The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.

The simplistic "rebelled over taxation" is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.

Colonists didn't quit Britain, the Briton's quit on the Colonists.
