I love how the sky is grimly lacking IR. Nothing much to re-emit IR up there.

Where are those 15 facts no-one knows about?

Sometimes I have a habit of unblurring at home, suddenly did it instinctively at work and realised what I’d just done to a literal NSFW filter.

Maybe someone should email EA and encourage them to open an account on the Lemmyverse.

It’s the degeneracy into idolism. Idols can do no wrong.

Yeah I never said they escape the gravity well, only that they need to get further out to even start orbiting and it’s pretty strong even during the first 2000km out.

I’m only adding to the already well established answers here, but spacecraft also need to further away from the earth’s gravity well which requires a huge amount of energy. If you’re lifting 100 tons (if you’re including some kind of aeroplane + spacecraft), we are talking at least something like 100+ gigajoules of energy to get it into space in the first place, excluding orbital velocity. So the immense energy capacity of rocket fuel tends to be the only one sufficient for this, plus as the fuel tanks empty and the drag decreases, the acceleration of the rocket dramatically increases.

A lot of this makes complete sense why rockets are the only viable solution for the time being.

Oh no!

Anyway…

And Gandhi goes nuclear.

Edit: Sorry, was thinking of the nuclear dudes in AoE I.

The ale is cooked into the sauce, like a sauce made with red wine.

Steak and ale pie is delish!

Infuriating but pretty cool

If you’re going easy but need something more up to date, Fedora based is a good middle ground. Nobara more gaming oriented.

Hang on, we’re talking about the ozone hole HFCs???

May as well bring back asbestos! Oh.

I mean, a 12 year old is more likely than not to name a cylindrical boombox a ‘bomb’ and forget about it. Hopefully a sincere apology will suffice instead of a ban or criminal charges.

That tower looks damaged beyond repair.

Not sure if you can blame a country for building up more military when another country was busy attacking Venezuela, is attacking Iran alongside a fairly scary religio-fascist state, and possibly Cuba in the future.

So much for beauty sleep…

Poor tree

That’s more a tax management issue, say for example the congestion charge in London brings in millions of revenue and ideally it should be driven towards green energy we’d hope.
