Presently, BBC is showing me "but its edges may actually have deformed by 100m or more in height in places"

Kepler FAQ:
By offering services via LEO satellites, link latencies can be as low as 100 ms. However, Kepler's services do not provide real-time Internet, so the question of latency often gets confused here. Our Global Data 'store-and-forward' Service is for latency-tolerant data. End-to-end data delivery time (perhaps a better term than 'latency' in this context) for single-pass uploads can be as low as 10 minutes and as high as 12 hours.

I love it!

Apologies. Misposted as AC.
I totally agree with your sentiments. My quibble is that your definition states what may be a necessity, but it is insufficient and IMO cannot stand alone as an objective definition. That is a pity, because a terse definition would be useful.

One thing they are really handy for is wiping the platters.

I would like to see authoritative comment on the overall origin-to-disposal/degradation atmospheric carbon budget of biomass-based vs petroleum-based PET. The energy budget is related, but mainly as it affects atmospheric CO2.

Superficially, the burial of biomass-based non-biodegradable plastic looks rather like atmospheric carbon capture and sequestration. An environmental plus. Biodegradability is a two-edged sword. It removes junk from the environment at the expense of releasing carbon to the atmosphere.

Parent is right, you need ALL of the figures before making a judgment. Maybe I missed a trick.

The camel endorses your viewpoint.

Agreed. The wing and tailplane look to be a continuous loop, too, which is not immediately obvious (to me, anyway)

Says it all, no?
