"Fuck everything we're doing 8 G's"

If only for the fact that "Five-Gee" is so much catchier as a phrase to say that 6G won't have nearly as many conspiracies and other nonsense around it. Even if they dont change anything but the name. Can network upgrades just be boring market speak again?

The alternate reality is Trump loses in 2016, the JCPOA remains in place instead of getting discarded for, well, nothing and chances are we aren't in this position today where Iran is *yet again* close to developing a nuclear weapon. So much of the arguments about this whole thing are silly in that Trump created this problem himself by breaking treaty for no good reason and driving Iran back into development of a bomb because what else would they be incentivized to do after that?

The cost and risk today is the same as it was when Trump scrapped the JCPOA (and also the USMCA), America's word is somewhat worthless now since if one admin signs something the next one might just scrap it unilaterally. Another reason 90-deals-in-90-days turned into no-deals-in-no-matter-how-many-days. Why should we be trusted right now?

Ashley Babbit and Charlie Kirk both died of fentanyl overdoses, the mainstream media is lying to you.

Because that is like 5% of the population where they don't have existing service and are quoted insane prices to run it... that's my point, that's where Starlink serves and excels... thats the point of it existing. Also Starlink doesn't actually fix that issue it's just being used an excuse to not actually fix the issue, exactly as you laid out here. Those areas will not actually get their wired service or any regulations to prevent such things now they are just stuck inside another monopoly, so when SpaceX wants to do the thing all ISP's have done and advantage their monopoly position, then what?

I'm not saying these are common issues but it's more to the point I don't think it's anywhere near correct to expect Starlink to be an alternative to actual broadband infrastructure. It's very good, we don't have to strawman me and pretend I'm knocking it to make a bad argument.

Is the latency good? Yes. Is it better than fiber or even DOCSIS? No. Does it deal with interference really well? Yes. Does it suffer more issues tahn cables? Also yes. Does it cost more to maintain and operate than traditional infrastructure, particularly something like a passive fiber network? Also yes. Can it ever handle the amount of users required to be a nationwide competitor to traditional broadband? No.

So let's appreciate Starlink for what it is, and really fucking cool but it's not going to save us from needing real broadband where it's needed nor will it help with prices.

Doubt it, their operating costs are always going to be higher than cables laying in the ground, it will always have lesser total capacity, the latency, even if good, will always be higher and it will always be subject to more interference issues.

The idea that Starlink is anything close to a replacement for a dedicated fiber line is a pipe dream. It can both be a marvel of technology with amazing capabilities and providing amazing service for people who need it and still not be comparable to dedicated fiber and that's OK, these things do not compete, they complement eachother.

The idea it just has to be a replacement is Musk making his personal insecurities everyone elses problem yet again.

Ahh yes my pills that allow me to make an argument with specific facts instead of vague notions of being butt hurt because some podcasters told me I should be. Baaaaah you sheep.

A simple "You're right" will suffice next time.

Ok so since you're a fucking coward and yapping about vaginas I bet you mean Christina Koch and Victor Glover but you wont say because you are a fucking coward.

And they are unqualified since Koch only did 328 days on the ISS and has done 3 missions as a flight engineer and has been an astronaut since 2013. Glover meanwhile *only* an F18 pilot, a USAF test pilot, flew on the first Crew Dragon flight so you know, he only has hands on experience with spacecrat launching with crew the first time.

Like fuck off, this is ridiculous. I'm just gonna say its DEI to send a Canadian up and maybe even the commander, i mean, the vagina has more days in space than he does. DEI!!!!@!@!!!!

Bullshit or not have any of the previous CISA directors not been able to meet the requirements? I don't think the polygraph requirement has changed and it's used all over, seems like a low bar, which is probably actually the point of it.

Got it, so which astronauts do you feel were not qualified for mission? You said pick a crew on merit implying some of crew lacks the merit.

Ok, so then all that said let's say it's a given, which astronauts do you feel were not qualified for mission?

Which astronauts do you feel were not qualified for mission?

Communism?

Desperation is a stinky perfume, glad to see "you people" are running on fumes.
