Expensive Chinese products are of good quality. Its the cheap shit we demand where quality goes out the window. Get what you pay for basically.

Just to point this out. Extension cords aren’t allowed to be used as a permanent source of power. If it results in a fire you could have a battle with insurance trying to cover it. Don’t go with this plan.

You can but everything really comes down to matching breaker size. Just as long as everything at minimum matches the breaker then you’re fine. You could run 2 ought wire to it if you really wanted but nothing lower than 8 gauge.

I suspect both are militarizing space. We have China and the $700 billion US military. They’re both definitely militarizing space.

Also competition and collaboration are both great. Competition between the Soviets got us Mars, Venus, and going to the moon. Collaboration got us the ISS. The US needed another buddy in space.

Because allowing that creates a risk of the birds being hunted just for feathers. Being native doesn’t automatically make them some mystical group of people that watch over the land. It’s a group of people just like any other group of people. And when you get a group of people inevitably you’ll get assholes. And in this case those assholes will decide to shoot birds for feathers and sell them. Where I am we have different tribes fighting for and against coal mining on their lands. Some see dollar signs some see protecting nature.

What a weird fucking thing to do.

Lol what a dumbass response. “We have had thousands of civilians and soldiers die at the hands of Russia, even though we’re winning. So you should just accept the same fate by helping us.”

Satellite internet was never intended for large metro areas. Same problem as when cell coverage goes to shit in huge crowds. It was always designed for more rural areas. A connection straight to the wall is faster than wifi and ground based internet is going to be faster in metro areas than satellite. They need to do what Google did years back.

That said more competition on the ground and in space is never a bad thing when talking about utilities.

Why do they have to be orbital? And you charge people for use of your internet service just like every business ever.

Not all storms are built the same. Tornadoes need warm air and wind shear. The latter is expected to decrease with climate change resulting in weaker tornadoes. Tornado season will get longer but there’ll be fewer strong ones.
