I'm sorry. How do you expect a jet flying to get even close enough to a satellite to accelerate a missile to it?

Highest ever flow fixed wing "aircraft" is SpaceShipOne with rocket engines. Well above what a typical fighter jet might do: 112km height at 910m/s And a typical rocket will go what? Mach 2 or 3? So let's say Mach 4 at 112 km, which is 1096 m/s

A typical Starlink orbit is either around 340km height or more typical 550km at either 7726 m/s or 7613 m/s at the different heights.

That gives a minimum distance traveled of at least 228km and a speed gap of 6630 m/s or 23868 km/h that the missile still needs to close.

There are probably ways that Brazil could try and destroy satellites if they want to. But launching missiles from (rocket powered) jets definitely isn't one of them.

Don't get your hopes up. Apparently the latest RoR2 expansion was made by the new Gearbox crew and that didn't work out so well...

How is it nonsense?

The EU law is that the reject all should be exactly as easy as the accept all button. 1 extra click, however minor of an inconvenience it is, is extra effort. And therefore strictly speaking in violation of the law.

Nothing will ever happen but it's valid criticism.

It's just a guy talking 99% of the time and the few visuals that are in the movie are not required to understand the story. I'd just listen to it like a podcast. The guys voice and pronunciation probably beats text to speech from a blogpost with images.

Well you say that but their pit wall on Friday said otherwise Mercedes F1 pit wall with blue screens of death

But MS had nothing to do with both the testing and rollout?

It's a broken 3rd party component. Croudstrikes testing and rollout procedures were inadequate.

But that is an easily solved problem. Take the design of the James Webb, substitute the super cooled infrared camera and replace it with a superconducting magnet setup. Fly this setup to L1 of mars and start global warming.

I didn't come up with that. Someone at NASA did. Years ago: https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/how-to-give-mars-an-atmosphere-maybe/

You can easily do that with some extra key bindings and channel commanders/whisper groups

It's the other way around. Companies in the Netherlands lease cars for their employees here in the Netherlands. Usually for people that travel a lot with for their job or just as a bonus perk that comes with the job instead of salary. And the boss pays for all the gas and maintenance as well.

So either take the effort to charge, or even charge at home and get refunded the electricity costs. Or just fill it up with free gas which only takes a minute. Guess which happens the most?

The only time I saw some of those oversized and really popular Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV use a charge cable was if they wanted to take a good parking spot...

Charging from the left side isn't all that either, some macbook pro models actually become slower due to thermal throttling because charging from the left creates heat closer to the CPU. Resulting in a significant CPU slowdown.

No no, they are planning to add, nothing about when it's being added yet. This patch is just a very small number of quest blocker fixed.

There are inverters that support battery backup, recharging from solar and grid power that are supposed to go between your grid tie-in and the rest of your house. Quite a ways more expensive, but the battery capacity is probably relatively cheap compared to UPS power and is essentially a backup for your entire house.

The one I read about a while ago was a Growatt that is basically an all in one box. Can provide power from batteries, recharge from solar or grid power, feed back excess solar power to the grid, etc, you name it. And I can imagine other brands producing the same solution.

I'm lucky enough to live in a country with almost no power cuts though. I think we have at most 1 a year for max 10 minutes. So can't say I have any experience with it myself.
