Some effects started before brexit was official. As institutions and individuals sought to minimize negative impact. I recall reading about european students leaving british universities pre brexit.

My understanding is that in a true vacuum light will not be reflected or bent by particles. However, due to gravity bending space time itself, light will follow the curvature of space. It would depend on the observer if the path if light is straight. If you look at the light passing by, it would not be straight under influence of gravity. If light itself is the observer, it will travel in a straight line :)

In the case of gravitational lensing the observer is looking at light coming in. An outside perspective.

Reminds me of the joker from Christofer Nolan's Batman. If things go according to plan, nobody cares. Even if its clearly fake, keeping up the resemblance of a working system raises less concerned citizens.

The true power of any country always lies with the people. For example, every previous chinese dynasty ended due to civilian uprising.

I agree that its not great to dump items in the ocean. But given that it is rather hard to predict exactly where it will drop, and how fast if would sink after hitting the ocean surface with significant velocity, it would take an army of boats to recover anything.

For rockets i feel you have two large impacts to the environment, the production cost and the burned propellant. For starship the construction does not require too much harmful material i geuss. And the fuel is methane and oxygen. Methane will convert to CO2, but it does not have any nitrogen. Not as good as hydrogen + oxygen in the combustion product which only leaves water.

Looking at environmental impact is always hard, because you need to look at the whole lifecycle. Which frankly i am too lazy to compute here. Perhaps they have performed some research into it required by some legislation.

I have been learning some database stuff today. Finally understand the drop table thing better.

She definitely helped push the narrative that actions matter. I don't really care how she afford her life at all, non of my business really.

I respect her for what she is doing for us.

9 + 1/2 * 5 * 20

9 + 2.5 * 20

9 + 50

59?

How does nioghalvfems make 99?

Well, chances are pretty low. There is not so much out there except the oord cloud. Even if something does hit, it would only punch a hole in the craft. Most of if would continue on.

Hell yeah, viva la france

Voting is great. but when the whole landscape is shifting, you cant vote your way out of a narly political regime.
