I was just thinking this conversation is clear who has played KSP.

Simplified, you have a rocket orbiting around the earth going over both poles in a circular orbit. Above the north pole its 250km high and fires off its rocket all at once. Now its orbit is an eclipse going to 500km above the south pole, but it will return to 250km above the north pole. If you want to increase your altitude over the north pole you would need to accelerate above the south pole.

Orbiting is much more about going really really fast than it is about going really high up. Vast majority of the acceleration of launching into orbit goes into acceleration parallel to the ground rather than lifting away from it.

Blowing up satellites turns it from 1 bit of space junk into thousands...

Blackmailing people with content like that is happening every day. Just its normally to get you to send crypto to scammers.

I don't accept it. But wtf can I do about it? Other than abandon every platform that asks for ID. But I have already done that. Which is why I am here.

My government are pushing for this stuff though.

Which is why I am here now instead of on reddit where I got fed up of being asked to submit for facial and ID scans. Fuck that! I have seen some of my comments online, there is no way I want my ID permanently attached to that.

Good point. I live near the sea and it doesn't seem to get as hot here.

Tbh I find the main issue is being hot and sweaty where ever you are contacting a bed or sofa. That could be solved with just a decent cooling pad to sit on.

Also really hot when I get in from a bike ride. But that is going to happen most of the year regardless of AC.

Ahh, so you are actually a dictatorship now

The moment you mention anything that could help you get people suddenly pretending that they give a shit about the poor.

Here is a random idea though. x10 energy fees with the first 6000kWh of electricity free (or very cheap) per year. No reductions for gas and oil. The poor were already not using much energy, if you actually care about them, this will actually reduce their energy bills.

Its hardly a new model either, phone data works the same kind of way, just monthly rather than annually.

Wildcats are nature, they have multiple very sharp corners.

Then surely solar panels are peak freedom? They can turn off petrol pumps very easily. They are going to struggle to turn off the fucking sun.

Maybe, but I have limited space and don't really want to work more hours just to pay for more space to store things. I could use that time to ride my bike instead.
