I think the Kessler syndrome should be renamed the Bezos-Musk syndrome because with all the Starklink satellites in orbit and with the addition of the Amazon ones it will increase the likelihood of.a satellite collision that will cascade and cause more collisions, so much so that orbital debris will prevent us from launching any more satellites or humans getting into orbit for decades or even centuries.

I wonder if AI data centers are next.

It's really bad when fascists own social media networks.

I deleted my LinkedIn account over 10 years ago. I recently thought about rejoining. Not going to now.

Yeah, you don't have to be a budget airline to be crappy.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” — Ursula K. Le Guin

Thank you Mother Nature for giving us a hand.

and never looked back. I recently thought about rejoining, but won't after reading this.

I did Nazi that coming.

We get cancer cells all the time that is to say mutated cells that our immune system destroys. When it's no longer recognized as an abnormal cell and begins to grow into clusters and start to develop blood vessels, angiogenesis, then it becomes a problem. So, yes, it's a problem that prostate cancer is over-treated. When they aren't too concerned about it, it's called watchful waiting. No treatment is necessary because it grows slowly. If it picks up and starts to grow, they'll treat it. And mutations can manifest themselves in different ways. If your PSA (prostate specific antigen) level is below 4 that's supposed to be nothing to worry about, but men can have stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized and to other parts of the body and have a low or undetectable PSA and there are men who can have a high PSA an not have cancer. Those are outliers and PSA score is a good tool, but doctors need to be aware of it's limitations. The PSMA PET scan is a new tool to find out if the cancer has spread (prostate specific membrane antigen). It's a good target for treatment to. Andy Taylor of Duran Duran was treated with an injection of Lutetium-177 which targets only prostate cancer cells. It's not a cure but will buy him more time.

Speed limits are merely a suggestion. You have to speed to keep up with the flow of traffic, usually 10-15mph over. Unless of course, there's a traffic jam where you slow down to a crawl. Still not as bad as driving on Dallas area highways.

Let me turn it off so I can just write fuck.

The names Elon "Tankie" Musk and most especially Peter "anti-democratic pos" Thiel should have raised a huge red flag.

This is why I don't buy HP printers anymore. Brother doesn't seem to care if you use 3rd party toners for their laser printers. Anyway, the book Chokepoint Capitalism shows how big companies squeeze customers and suppliers. And how we can fight back, but it's going to take all of us.

Amazon will ultimately screw Stripe and either buy it or replace it. It's how they operate. See Chokepoint Capitalism.

We have a vaccine for it. If you've been vaccinated against smallpox, you should have some protection against it.
