I have to write two this week.

First time in a long time I have written any though.

FWIW, there's a lot more to it than that. Here's some good info on it: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

Some points from that:
* Sugar (sucrose) in an acid will quickly be split into Fructose and Glucose (about 50/50 ratio).
* Mexican Coke tested with near zero sucrose content (it had split).
* Corn Syrup is nearly the same ratio of Fructose and Glucose (about 55/42 ratio).
* No, you can't taste the difference between those sugars.
* Mexican Coke had nearly twice the sodium... something you can taste.

I thought I had wasted my time watching that video, but it really stuck with me. I love the idea of sugar instead of corn syrup in Coke, and I like the taste of a Mexican Coke a little more, but this broke my assumptions about why I like the taste of it.

Why would you think that? The fuckin slashdot page title even says, "... Black Market Starlink Terminals ...". Starlink isn't even active anywhere in Russia.

Regardless, if they were authorized terminals, then they'd certainly be able to disable them and be well aware of what all terminals are connecting.

I don't want the tights. I just want the model.

More ads like the chick with the cat tights, PLEASE!!

Op here. I know several languages.

Is supposed to be reusable AS a booster?

I know this will be modded troll......but seriously, if everyone would agree to use English, this problem goes away.

Make a serious, world wide push to put English first and a lot of issues go away. Keep other languages as secondaries. Make English the language of business and commercial culture.

Only entity that should be allowed to sue is the FDA. Period.

And the FDA should not be allowed to due for damages. It should only be allowed to take products off the market.

I'm flummoxed; Is the Starlink service incapable of authenticating terminals? Is it less advanced than 90's era satellite TV? IE: how do Russia's black market Starlink terminals get any access in the first place? (FWIW, this isn't a direct response to the parent post... just seemed like a natural progression to ask about individual terminals versus geofencing)

If one lives in the US and has a Starlink terminal, can you access the network even if you are not an active subscriber? I'm certain that's a no. So how are the black market terminals getting around that? And if it's that easy and untraceable, then where can we all get black market terminals?

The Germans started WWII and killed a bunch of Jews.

How about we NOT do what the Germans do, eh?

They probably find its offerings more attractive.

It might reduce theft in the long term, but in the meantime, MY phone has been stolen, so someone may as well use it rather than it just being ewaste. Disabling it does help me, all it does is annoy someone else and make my phone useless.

I turn it off and don't use it. Same response I would have if it were completely awesome (and it may be for all I know).

No frustration here.

I don't know what to say. I have so many feelings about this. Where do I start?

Oh wait....I need to go take a dump. Give me a minute please.
