Ehhhhhh.
Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it’s extremely expensive in upkeep.
The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is “working on it”, but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.
Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can’t possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.

“Perjury trap” is a fake term that tries to place the blame for “My client is a compulsive liar and literally can’t tell the truth to save his life” on the other party. And whoever came up with the term deserves both a raise for being amazing at their job, and a knee to the groin for being a shit human being.

The reason Kerbal Space Program is fun, is fun because you can fuck up and die in a million different ways, and not doing so is chalenging and succes is rewarding while failure is hilarious(ly frustrating).
Not fucking up and dying in Starfield means pressing the Use Healthpack frequently enough.

Tar_alcaran@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge33·2 years agoYes you can. Take milk, simmer for an hour. Thats basically it

“Better than Hitler” is really, REALLY not a great flex
Also, in quite a few comic timelines, the hammer literally makes Thor.
