"It's still relevant because whoever did move Skynet-1A did us few favours," says space consultant Dr Stuart Eves.

"It's now in what we call a 'gravity well' at 105 degrees West longitude, wandering backwards and forwards like a marble at the bottom of a bowl. And unfortunately this brings it close to other satellite traffic on a regular basis.

"Because it's dead, the risk is it might bump into something, and because it's 'our' satellite we're still responsible for it," he explains.

So basically, you can't park there mate!

Such people aren't fans of the sport, they go primarilly to cause trouble in a group.

I think that's football fans in general to be honest.

Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.

However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn't have to be much :)

It could be useful to link to some relevant communities in this posts description if people do want to ask questions.

Probably about 2 minutes, but usually I never have to queue.

Three crashes and they've also been leapfrogged by Alpine in the standings. What an absolute disaster for them.

In their defence why would you expect them to know about the political stance of the devs?

There was a bit of luck involved but given the pace he had, he probably would have won anyway.

Absolute masterclass from Max. Was just leagues above everyone else.

Why does it seem like Norris keeps waiting so long to put a lap in?

Yeah, it was really noticeable when the clocks changed last weekend. Can't wait for the lighter evenings again!

I hate winter, but not because of the climate (we get a couple of days if snow at best), but because it's just constantly dark. It's incredibly depressing. It's already getting dark by 16:30 now.

"where one man.... And one goat..."

People will be toxic no matter what. I don't think making prospective new users feel unwelcome is a good idea when we'd like to see some growth.

It's a noble goal don't get me wrong, but cars are just way too convenient to get rid of for most that don't live in the central zones of cities. Just things like taking your kid to their swimming lessons, evening activities, going to the tip and garden centre and dropping off at your parents en route, visiting friends that are several villages away, kids birthday party and then going to the supermarket after to pick up some food etc.

Something I've noticed is that people on Lemmy never seem to advocate for busses, it's always trains.

As much as people on Lemmy love trains, they're not replacing cars no matter how good the infrastructure is.

Yeah I agree. Toro Rosso just sounds cool and distinctive. AlphaTauri was a bit meh and was too confusing with also having Alfa Romeo. But I guess the name is created by marketeers.

Trains are already electrified.
