I know absolutely fuck all about satellites but I have to assume on something this old, that it’s extremely unlikely.

“It’s still relevant because whoever did move Skynet-1A did us few favours,” says space consultant Dr Stuart Eves.

"It’s now in what we call a ‘gravity well’ at 105 degrees West longitude, wandering backwards and forwards like a marble at the bottom of a bowl. And unfortunately this brings it close to other satellite traffic on a regular basis.

“Because it’s dead, the risk is it might bump into something, and because it’s ‘our’ satellite we’re still responsible for it,” he explains.

So basically, you can’t park there mate!

Such people aren’t fans of the sport, they go primarilly to cause trouble in a group.

I think that’s football fans in general to be honest.

Beehaw gives me weird, cult like vibes. You MUST be happy and positive, or you’re OUT. I’m probably entirely wrong, but that’s how they come across to me when I started looking into their rules when I thought about creating an account.

It could be useful to link to some relevant communities in this posts description if people do want to ask questions.

Probably about 2 minutes, but usually I never have to queue.

That’s fair enough. I haven’t blocked hexbear or lemmygrad as it’s kind of entertaining from a morbid sense. But lemmy.ml tries to masquerade as a generic leftist instance but has insane admins and moderators who have absolutely no interest in having other people’s views on their their instance.

They’re tankies, they’re pro-Russia, pro-China (to a bootlicking degree) and pro North Korea. Basically anything anti US/west.

They’ve been slurping up Russian propaganda and try and argue that the pro-EU demonstrations in Ukraine in 2014 was some kind of CIA op (because the notion to them that people would willingly choose western ideals is inconceivable) and that Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia are the good guys defeating Nazis.

I’d strongly avoid blocking the Lemmy.ml instance in your settings. Hexbear and lemmygrad are also similar instances to avoid.

@WestBromwich@feddit.uk did you even know you’d been banned due to this comment?

In their defence why would you expect them to know about the political stance of the devs?

Yeah, it was really noticeable when the clocks changed last weekend. Can’t wait for the lighter evenings again!

I hate winter, but not because of the climate (we get a couple of days if snow at best), but because it’s just constantly dark. It’s incredibly depressing. It’s already getting dark by 16:30 now.

People will be toxic no matter what. I don’t think making prospective new users feel unwelcome is a good idea when we’d like to see some growth.

It’s a noble goal don’t get me wrong, but cars are just way too convenient to get rid of for most that don’t live in the central zones of cities. Just things like taking your kid to their swimming lessons, evening activities, going to the tip and garden centre and dropping off at your parents en route, visiting friends that are several villages away, kids birthday party and then going to the supermarket after to pick up some food etc.

Something I’ve noticed is that people on Lemmy never seem to advocate for busses, it’s always trains.

As much as people on Lemmy love trains, they’re not replacing cars no matter how good the infrastructure is.

I thought they were already in the process of building the infrastructure at Euston for HS2?

They’re the only two I recognise - the rest I have no idea what they’re even on about.

Trains are already electrified.
