Good luck! I had tried to get it working when I didn’t have a VPN with split tunneling available and nothing I tried ever seemed to work back then.

You don’t need to run Plex through a VPN just any torrent clients.

When this was posted last week, I mentioned that it was odd that all the most deadliest models on the list were all low production cars, meaning there might be something wonky with their methodology.

There was a similar “study” done a year or so ago where they simply looked at car insurance applications and used people’s accident history and whatever vehicle they were trying to insure at the time to generate a list of which models had the “most accidents” in an incredibly flawed manor (Pontiac and Oldsmobile were among the safest even though neither company exists anymore).

I’m not sure. The one I’m referring to just happened and was the first one after all the recent reporting of the famine and humanitarian issues happening in Gaza.

I guess the downvoters didn’t bother to (or can’t) read the article:

In the bill’s original iteration, it was popular among both Republicans and Democrats, who saw it as an appealing way to police Palestinian rights organizations after protests last year. An earlier version, in April, passed the House easily, with only 11 votes against the bill.

Looks like the headline was updated to 5 deaths now. What a tragic end to what should have been a fun and memorable night out.

Do you think our tax bills will drop if they succeed in forcing these million employees to quit?

They said they want to run the government like a business, and it looks like that’s what they’re pursuing. Unfortunately, that just means they’ll give us the lowest quality service at the highest possible price.

Why because you’d rather waste a year waiting to see whose going to genocide harder instead of demanding it end now?

“Deepfakes” are edited pictures of real people. I’d be more inclined to agree with you on completely AI generated images but not something specifically intended to deceive others into thinking they’re viewing a real person’s image.

This latest aid convoy was also forced to abandon their planned departure time and route by the Israeli military and told to go early and on an unfamiliar route where they wound up getting attacked and hijacked. This was so obviously planned out by Israel.

I had some commentor reply to me saying Republicans would bring about “accelerated genocide” as the reasoning why Republicans are worse for Palestine than Democrats. It’s weird doublespeak that harkened back to Bush and his “enhanced interrogation” terminology. Apparently “genocide” is fine but “accelerated genocide” is something to fear. To the victims, I’m sure it all looks exactly the same.

Sounds like personal projection. You okay, buddy?

Rosenworcel is chairperson until July, so why don’t they try to eliminate them anyway (or at any point since she took over in 2020)? Seems disingenuous to claim the new guy is going to stop the removal of data caps when the current leadership hasn’t done it either. I’ll have had to pay $1800 to Comcast to remove my data cap over the course of her 5 year term as FCC chair.

I already told you that I did read your links when you first posted them.

No one said anything about permanently

That’s exactly what Kessler Syndrome is though.

Because that’s not how gravity works anyway

This isn’t about gravity it’s about orbital altitude. Objects in HEO or Geostationary orbit can stay at those altitudes for hundreds to thousands of years which qualify as “permanently” for all intents and purposes.

The thing you yourself quoted says it could take years for it to reenter. So that’s years of too much debris in LEO to launch anything safely.

No, that just means they can stay up there for years, not that it automatically makes it unsafe to launch into orbit. This is like claiming a 50-car pileup in Des Moines makes it unsafe to drive in Los Angeles.

I have no idea where you got the notion that Kessler syndrome means something like nothing can ever be launched again

[From Kessler himself](https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/white-sands/micrometeoroids-and-orbital-debris-mmod/#%3A~%3Atext=The+Kessler+Syndrome%2C(900+to+1%2C000+kilometers).

This cascade of collisions first came to NASAs attention in the 1970’s when derelict Delta rockets left in orbit began to explode creating shrapnel clouds. Kessler demonstrated that once the amount of debris in a particular orbit reaches critical mass, collision cascading begins even if no more objects are launched into the orbit. Once collisional cascading begins, the risk to satellites and spacecraft increases until the orbit is no longer usable.

You’re talking about the Kessler Effect (cascading collisions) not Kessler Syndrome (space is unusable). I never stated that they can’t collide with one another just that they’re not capable of trapping us on earth for any significant period of time due to their low orbit.

What heel-turn? I stated it isn’t possible for these to cause Kessler Syndrome and haven’t departed from that.

I did read your links when you initially replied, and they don’t claim that they’ll cause Kessler Syndrome. Some of them dance around the topic with scary sounding premises but none actually state it because it’s impossible for something orbiting flying that low to be trapped in orbit for long just like an airplane with engines that die can’t maintain altitude and continue flying for long. You don’t need to be an expert in aeronautics or spaceflight to understand this because it’s basic physics.

Yes I focused on that statement that you quoted because that’s what you quoted in your reply as proof it’s possible even though all it said was that more evasive maneuvers are happening as more of these satellites are put into orbit just like more cars will need to dodge debris in the road during rush hour than during the middle of the night when nobody is on the road.

I didn’t post a list of flat earther links because neither one of us is arguing that the earth is flat. This statement was hyperbole to point out the flawed reasoning in thinking that your position is correct simply because you can find someone else stating the same thing (something those links don’t actually even do if the topic is Kessler Syndrome). Yeah, they can crash into something and cause debris, but they can’t be trapped up there permanently and prevent us from reaching space again because their orbit is so low.

Will the space debris problem take care of itself?

In low Earth orbit (below 600 km or 370 miles), the little atmosphere that is there will, over weeks, months, and years, drag the space debris low enough to reenter. Between 600 km and 1000 km (620 mi) it may take tens to hundreds of years for the debris to reenter.

Starlink orbits at 342 miles so assuming the entire constellation exploded into debris, they’d only be an issue for as little as a few weeks and as much as a couple of years before burning up and clearing themselves out. Kessler Syndrome requires that something be in high earth or geostationary orbit to trap us on the planet permanently.

She did have a transportation background in two prior administrations

And she also happens to be married to Mitch McConnell.

“Right now, every six months, the number of maneuvers that are being made doubles,” said Lewis. “It has gone up by a factor of 10 in just two years, and if you project that out, you’ll have 50,000 within the next six-month period, then 100,000 within the next, then 200,000, and so on.”

The number of maneuvers increased as they increased the number of satellites in orbit, which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. To claim that this is going to follow an exponential curve approaching infinity is ignorant at best and disinformation at the worst because they have a hard limit on how many satellites they need. The guy you’re quoting qualified that statement with “right now” right at the beginning of the quote.

In addition to this, an increased number of maneuvers has no bearing on whether these LEO satellites will cause Kessler Syndrome as you claimed in your previous comment. They’re in too low of an orbit to do that.

It’s not possible with these satellites as they’re too low in orbit and can only stay up for 3-5 years before burning up in the atmosphere. It doesn’t matter if you can find people to agree with you as I could easily find a dozen links from people claiming the earth is flat.
