Yep, they are in Low Earth Orbit. A place that has a very, very small amount of air, so the satellites experience drag, lose speed, eventually the propellant tanks run dry, and they burn up in the atmosphere. The ISS experiences the same thing, which is why its altitude slowly falls, then you see a sharp increase as they push to a slightly higher orbit.
At the altitude the SpaceX satellites are at, they only passively stay up for a few years. With the onboard propulsion giving them each another few years.


Love to see that even with the new pro model, you can upgrade your existing Framework 13 mainboard/other components and get the new features. Gotta hand it to Framework: A standardized hardware design works great for laptops.
To not make your commercial area look dumpy (there is a parking lot and what appears to be a multi-level parking garage right behind the panels). The owner of this commercial area isn’t going to spend 6-digits on panels just to allow their 7-digit commercial area to look dumpy.
There is a parking lot and what appears to be multi-level parking garage right behind the panels. Ain’t nobody putting goats here. The options are: pay to weed trim around thousands of supports on a regular basis or pay to gravel once.
This keeps them from having to run a weed trimmer around thousands of supports. Weed trimmers are the most annoying and time consuming part of lawn care.


God damn is that alot of fire.


Iran is blockading some traffic, notably not their own and those that pay protection.
The US is blockading some traffic, notably Iran’s traffic.
I have, on several occasions, realized I was waiting longer for ‘fast food’ than it takes to make the food myself at a quarter the price. ‘Fast food’ is no longer fast or cheap, which were pretty much the only two things it had going for it.
Assuming you have … appliances to cook and prepare the food
An inexpensive toaster oven and hot plate is all you need to make anything. The money you save in the first week of buying groceries instead of eating out will more than pay for those two appliances. Every week thereafter is more money in your pocket to put toward debt, fun, etc.
If you are buying groceries, you are spending more efficiently than half of America.
Groceries are 3x-4x cheaper than eating/ordering out.


I hope that Iran is just doing it as a stalling mechanism so that they can make strategic moves like actually acquiring nukes.
A major reason we had this war was Iran enriching Uranium for nukes. No country but Iran wants Iran to have nukes, least of all their immediate neighbors. Iran continuing to go for nukes in the future ensures this war happens again.


accuracy is not a huge concern at the design stage
Then I doubt they are running the mentioned most accurate, two-week-long physics solvers at this stage either. You only do that when you need accuracy. A quick simulation doesn’t take long.
I’m failing to see why the creative writing machine is better than a simulation set to ‘rough’.


Apples are really, really fucking popular. It isn’t surprising they show up as a small minority on something like this. Macs have a pretty limited game library. But, if you already have a Mac and just want to play something from time to time, would make sense to install Steam and pick something up.
I doubt the Mac sales are very high per-capita though. Anyone who is into computer gaming is going Windows or Linux.


God damn. Truly, finally is the year of the linux desktop.


Any car made after 2010 works well with E15. And many cars handle E85 as well.


Hmmm? This is the way you get a gas car to run on sunshine.
Sun > corn > ethanol
MS Office works in a browser, and LibreOffice opens Word/Powerpoint files just fine. Been using LibreOffice for years while my coworkers send me files made with MS Office. It’s simply not a blocker.
