Latency is about a 1/10th of a second if it is a geo stationary satellite, and much lower if it is in a lower orbit.
I suggest to put a half assed complicated request into what ever AI you are using and cout: 21, 22, 23 until the first result pops up.

An additional 1/10th of a second, you won't notice.

Meteor smacks are rare.

The oldest currently operating satellite that can still transmit a communication signal is AMSAT-OSCAR 7 (AO-7).
While it is an amateur radio satellite rather than a commercial television broadcasting satellite, it remains the absolute oldest active piece of communications hardware in space.

That satellite is only a small amateur radio "relay", it is operational since 52 years, on solar power.

Yeah, and what exactly did I said wrong?

Most flight attendents are not competing about the two (male?) pilots.

What would be the point of that?

If they are female: they have a BF at the destination and at the departure port ... or they only have one.

Don't play stupid.

A flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Frankfurt (FRA) is about 12h.

There is a 36h mandatory sleep over period before the return flight.

I am entitled to call "nonsense", to what ever I consider to be nonsense.

For example: 3) I have seen several studies that indicate most abusers come from entitled families and were not themselves abused as a child.
That is nonsense. I suggest to google a bit around. Basically every abuser (does not necessarily mean sexual) was abused as child.
