but it's being done for profit, not for undeveloped areas.

This is such a Lemmy comment, there's nothing evil about providing a service for a price.

As someone who spends a lot of time in the outdoors, I have to disagree with you. I'm very excited about how this will simplify logistics, and make getting weather etc much easier.

Starlink launches forty-ish Starlink sats every other week, Russia could deplete it's entire arsenal of missiles and, if they're lucky, cause a hole in their coverage.

Starlink birds fly too low for that, they will deorbit in 4-8 years if they go dead.

I mean, they've got the market captured right now, don't they? Who else has a constellation like theirs up and running?

No insulation etc is pretty bad, it's not that hard to fit double glazing. It does seem to me the place is due for a big renovation.

Pretty grody, by the sound of it.

A simpler explanation, in my view, is that watching broadcast TV is a bit like having a landline, in that almost none of the younger generation is doing it. Combine that with a loss of viewers of all ages to streaming platforms, and a shaky economy overall, and it's a recipe for disaster.

People are willing to pay for either top notch entertainment content, or quality investigative journalism, but do they offer either?

Someone got a few very early phone calls about that one I bet.

Maybe day release could be the way to go? You can go to school, work etc, but have a strict curfew, and restrictions on where you can go.

Oh boy, I bet you get some quality reckons on talkback.

I haven't watched broadcast TV at home in close to a decade, and our TV isn't even hooked up to an aerial any more, and probably never will be. Even before that, I preferred to read the news rather than watch it.

I just had brief look at their website, their reporting is also nothing special. A bizarre number of stories about John Key's opinions on things, for some reason.

It's a sign of the times, I think.

Car dealers are thieves, always have been. At that age, you'll probably be better off at an independent mechanic, although fault finding on a vehicle like that can be pretty intense.

Sell the POS, it's a race between the electrics and the transmission to see what bricks the car first. Unless it's a diesel, in which case the engine is also a strong contender.

My guess to the cause of the problem would be corrosion somewhere in the wiring.

Sorry, nuclear annihilation.

It's a doctor strangelove reference.

Because we're awesome.

Something that brings that average up, in my view, is the number of classic cars we have on the road. These are vehicles that don't do a lot of driving, but are technically in use.

There's also a lot of people, especially trades, that have company vehicles that they can't use for personal use, so they also have their own vehicle.

I see no issue with this.
