Oops, "It isn't like every satellite wouldn't be a target"

Aren't you suggesting that this is related to satellite warfare? Something in which every major power is involved?

Also, it isn't like every satellite would be a target during a war. Communications, observation, and GPS satellites would be the primary targets. Don't think China would shoot down all the NRO satellites and leave Google Earth in place.

Besides, all that we see here is something that might be expected sat-to-sat comms, or just testing to see if the uplink/sat-to-sat channel can be used bidirectionally. NPR wants us to think some vital rule might have been broken, but I don't see that such a rule exists. The ITU doc says use this for uplink, use that for downlink, avoid ground-based interference. It doesn't say you can't use the uplink for downlink as well, just that nothing on the ground except for uplink stations should use those bands.

I like that one too. What I prefer is "knuckle" instead of "stick". Give it a try sometime, see how it works for you. If you don't like it, return it within 30 days for a full refund.

Sometimes it seems to me that they publish those pamphlets before the research has actually happened.

"It's a bit funny to me that I was actually right about that particular call. Most of the times that my wife and I disagreed about something I was definitely the one that was wrong."
Being a husband myself, that sounds like, "she had to admit I was actually right for a change!"

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go apologize to my wife. She hasn't told me what for yet, but I've been assured that I need to.

Again, grow up. You can pretend that you don't know the difference, but it's a transparent facade.

Ok, gotcha. You're saying it's a socially driven problem caused by people trying to avoid that problem. Which is perverse, but something that happens and a reasonable hypothesis. I have often wondered if it is related to the increase in cesarian births, which seem to be driven by hospital and doctor convenience instead of medical need.

Metal, plastic and silicone. What do you expect to be in there? A big brick of strontium-90?

What are they going to do with your study? Burn one up and make guesses about what the results mean. Or we could just observe what happens, because it is happening.

One might also just remember that these things are very small, and the earth is very, very big. It's like throwing a thousand grains of sand at the Great Pyramid.

Well, the faddists and media hogs are mostly just taking what mainstream nutritionists say and running wild with it.

Are eggs good or bad? They were good, then they were bad because of the cholesterol, then good again because even though it's "bad" cholesterol, it's somehow different when in an egg. Is too much salt bad, or do you just need to drink more water? Hell, I remember when olive oil was supposed to be really bad for you, just a heart attack in a bottle, so trans-fats were the way to go.

So, I say ignore the "mainstream nutritionists" as well. They're just going to reverse course in a few years, so eat like your grandparents did and leave it at that. Or great grandparents if you're under 30, I guess.

Oh great, now I have to remember where I kept hearing otherwise. Well, thanks for the correction.

"Parents know to watch out for random weirdos. And they teach their kids that. What they don't do is teach their kids to recognize when they are being taken advantage of by somebody who is trusted."
Are you sure about that? Why do you think it's true?

"This is also by the way why the right wing religious extremists oppose sex education. Sex ed teaches kids when they were being abused and religious extremists want to keep the abuse on the down low."
This isn't true. At all, in any direction. For example, in grade school, we were taught about sexual abuse, "bathing suit areas", and "bad touching". That was in the 80's. We didn't have sex ed until 8th or 9th grade. Separate lessons given years apart.

And who is "ignoring the primary vector"? It isn't being ignored, it's just so well-known and parents are so aware of it that it doesn't bear repeating when other vectors are discussed.

I really do worry about you. It seems that whatever happens, you look for a way to be sad about it. I am familiar with the impulse, but it is profoundly unhealthy.

This needs correcting - "Children are most likely going to be assaulted and taken advantage of by people they know who are in positions of power."
Because plenty of kids have been abducted and abused by strangers. Just because most abusers are family members or close to the family doesn't mean that all abusers are.

Also, "adult they met on Roblox" counts as "people they know". Furthermore, given that kids are in fact kids, any adult is in a position of power over them.

Honestly, are you letting the darkness cloud everything you see? What are you complaining about here? And for God's sake, why?

Jean Paul Sartre called, he thinks you need to cheer up.

Well, the only way to find out is to do it. No lab is big enough to perform the experiments.

Yeah, I know. Weird.

Are you saying this will threaten my Only Fans revenue?!?!?!

Mr. Berry, thank you for rock 'n roll.
