Cats. Cats are BY FAR the biggest killer of wild birds.
I love cats,and dont advocate getting rid of them. We also shouldnt get rid of high-rises, or wind turbines. Find ways to make them all safer for birds, and encourage birds to procreate more.
I’m actually surprised internet takes 3% the amount of energy it takes to get to space just to run some internet wires. I’d have thought it would be much much lower than that.
But also, starlink completes with geostationary satellite and home cellular connection more than internet over wires. Or even people who didn’t have an option before.
Did your intuition consider the energy required to dig a trench to bury the cale in? Or putting up posts to lift the cable off the ground? I didn’t consider it at first, but neither is done with climate neutral machinery.
The operational requirements are probably pretty similar, the satellites are obviously exclusively solar powered, so no contribution there.
Yeah I did, but cities where most of the internet users are have very short runs, and the cabling is usually installed with the building. Also, I think I’ve usually seen internet run with the telephone wires in rural areas rather than in trenches.
It looks like the study they linked only addresses the CO2 produced by the satellites, and not the land based providers.
Another interesting thing is that OneWeb and Kuiper (competing satellite internet services) are estimated to have significantly more per-user emissions than Starlink (40-200% more emissions!) (keep in mind that Starlink is predicted to have the most users) while also being estimated to provide a worse service and be more expensive per user. (all taken from the charts on page 6)
They also mention that Starship will likely lower carbon emissions of later Starlink launches significantly.
I’m not quite sure how the much larger Starlink V2 design factors in to all of this, or if they even took it into account.
They just don’t care. If they could earn a trillion knowing that the gain would destroy the planet in 10 years, they would. They’re out of control, and the states on their knees to beg their money.
some time in the past, AFU storm shadowed one or maybe two secondary/backup russian black sea fleet HQs in Sevastopol. so naturally all black sea fleet commanders went commanding to their usual HQ, which also got storm shadowed few days ago. initial Ukrainian claim was that 34 high ranking naval officers were dead including their big boss, black sea fleet admiral Sokolov (on left). it’s debatable whether he’s even alive, because after that he was only seen in zoom call on what looked like hospital bed and didn’t move at all. later there was also released some video of him giving out awards to local sports club, but that video was dated to a week in the past so before strike
Heh I wish. Being stuck in “pre-alpha” for an entire decade (yet marketing it as playable) can’t be a good look for them, especially since Starfield is already out.
About average, I mainly wanted to purchase from a local shop though to support business. It’s a common date night spot for my gf an I bc they have a small collection of cabinets and pinball machines to play at the shop too.
We are long past the days of getting them for near nothing so at least supporting a local shop is good. Still crazy these go for so much now, but still cheaper than when they were new!
$80 is definitely a high price. If you buy a GBC from eBay or Craigslists etc on any given day I’d expect to pay around $80.
However, if you’re monitoring market places like Facebook or Reddit, you’ll come across them for like $30-40 by people who just want to get rid of them. It might take a few days of waiting to come across one but it happens regularly you just have to be quick and have multiple payment options ready.
I’ve bought a few GB-GBAs recently and I’ve never paid more than $45 for one. I probably average $30 or $35 because I buy multiples.
