I used to work in Antarctica. One summer on a new station in the center authorities decided to put us on the same time as the big coastal station, saying that we had sun 24/7 anyway so it wouldn't matter. The idea was to synchronize communication with the head station. Well, the sun still has daily ups and downs, so we had to get up when the sun was lowest and start work when it was the fucking coldest at -50C and we'd go to bed when it was a balmy -20C. After a few days of that we started getting up and start work later and later, until we'd start work at 2pm or so !!!
The next year we had our own timezone.

Well, it needs to be quoted quite subtly. If you try "I don't believe murder is wrong", your are in for a bad time.

Still better than the Ministry of Lies we currently have...

IIRC some of the claimed code at the time were C header files. Sure you can change the comments, but it's not like you can change a function name or its parameters in a public API...

How to they evacuate the heat ? And with the size decrease, doesn't leak current increase, leading to more errors ? How did they solve that, particularly with a 10-fold jump ?

Yes, we can do things like that, so why can't we keep morons at bay ? We need (as a specie) a way to keep toxic people away from power and money and the possibility to ruin things for the rest of humanity. Pipe dream, I know.

Maybe, but honestly having people snort loudly next to you is fucking disgusting. Maybe *they* are the asshole ?

As a manager she is quite direct in telling people hard truths... And often does.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a biker colleague who claimed that motorbikes *need* to make noise for their protection. I was like "so cycles should have a boat horn blowing constantly for their protection too ? And electric cars as well ?" He disagreed.

Because many professionals don't work for those that try to sell you something. Most epidemiologists or virologues or others actually work for research centers or non-gov entities and have no money in the game. So yes, I'd trust a WHO epidemiologist any day over someone trying to sell me an "instant flu nasal spray vaccine" or similar; but if they say those work, why not...

Well, if the solution is vaccine-based, no because it *does* train the immune system, and often in better ways than virus exposition. But if the solution is air purifiers everywhere I'd be inclined to agree, the same way as kids growing up in perfectly clean room and never going outdoors often have allergies. On the other hand, having access to clean water may have made us more susceptible to catching the shits when going in third world countries, but I'd take our clean water system and sewers over those of India any day. Dying of dysentery is no fun. Neither is dying of Covid. So maybe I'll let professionals debate this one (and not investors).

Related question. A while back we had a family debate/fight about what the average american does when he has a cold and stuck nose. Here people blow their nose into a paper tissue and throw it away. My sis kept saying that in the US people keep sniffing and every once in a while they snort hard and swallow; which is annoying for those around. I've lived in the US for years but don't remember that. Maybe it's more geographical or more class-based ? What do people do around you ?
My sis was so horrified that she told someone after he snorted: "what if I put your snot into a spoon and gave it to you; would you eat it ?"

This quote was around the time when the right kept inventing 'alternate' facts to justify their antics. It just meant that the left is much more based on facts and the right just makes shit up. Compare wikipedia and conservopedia or whatever it's called for instance.

Do we ever place any kind of satellite at the other Lagrange points ? I know about the attempt to get a gravitational detector at L3/4/5, but is there anything currently ?
