Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, it is a photo. The moth was chilling on a window after sunset. The blue dots are out of focus apron lights.

They sure don’t tend to do that, but there are still mundane explanations for this. An unintentional collision between the satellite and another object being one of them.

“I find it hard to believe they would use such a big satellite as an ASAT target,” McDowell said.

Almost forgot to get back to you about that last part: Yes it did, but this wasn’t that.

Here’s a picture I took when the smoke was making a sunset unusually red:

This was a telephoto at the horizon at around midnight. The sun was only a bit above the horizon, so the lighting was similar to a sunset/sunrise.

Here’s another picture of that same midnight, looking towards the sun.

Nah winters are beautiful up north. Sometimes also in the south, but only rarely around the southern coast.

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Thanks for notifying. Should be fixed now.

Thanks! That day was beautiful.

Kaverin puhe oli kyllä hyvä

I’ve seen this guy in a virgin vs. chad meme and now here. Who are they?

A good point

The headline is clickbait since you don’t even need to get past the paywall to see that “The website does not appear to be linked to Hamas”. That domain is registered under Wix.Com Ltd., an Israeli software company. There is no hacking involved here, just an Israeli site masquerading as a Hamas site gloating with attrocities.

I think that this is part of a propaganda effort by Israel to capitalize on the October 7th attacks by maximising the emotional response from it. It’s all in English, so clearly directed at western audiences. It’s also quite on the nose with the caricaturistic portrayal of evil terrorist baby killers who do not understand PR.

If an actual Hamas site was hacked by Israelis, I’d expect the hackers to flaunt their victory by posting something the islamists clearly wouldn’t (like idk pictures of bacon, a woman’s ankles or maybe some dudes kissing).

As for an actual Hamas site, I’d expect a lot less displays of gore caused by Hamas and a lot more displays of gore caused by the IDF.

Meidän toiminta?

Se portin sulkeminen ja lapun jättäminen luukulle. Menee filosofiseks, mutta omission ja aktin raja on hiuksen hieno. Auttamatta jättäminen on omissio, portin sulkeminen ja lapun luukulle jättäminen taas on akti. Tässä tilanteessa se ja sama kummalla mennään.

Tässä on ajateltava itsekkäästi.

Itsekkäästihän tässä ollaan ajateltu kaiken aikaa. Sisäpoliittinen kuohunta on Suomen valtion omien intressien vastaista.

Meidän ei tule pelata samaa peliä.

Ollaan kuule pelattu samaa peliä jo siitä lähtien kun aiheesta alettiin puhumaan mediassa. Ainoa tapa jolla me oltais vältetty pelin pelaaminen, olis se että oltais otettu kaikki pakolaiset sisään ilman mitään mutinaa, koska ei muutama tuhatkaan pakolaista oo oikeesti tunnu missään pakolaiskriisin jälkeen. Tosin aivan varmasti Persut ja muut rasistit olis tästä silti vetäneet herneen nenään, jolloinka vaikutusyritys sais silloinkin jotakin aikaan.

Epäiletkö etteikö niin voisi tapahtua? Kun nyt vielä erikseen otit ihan itse esillle sen mitä Puolan rajoilla tapahtui?

Väännetään nyt sit rautalangasta: Lähes kaikki jotka sinne Puolan rajalle meni, meni itse omatoimisesti ajatellen että heitä odottaa parempi elämä Puolassa. Pakkokeinot tuli käyttöön vasta kun pakolaiset koitti pettyneinä kääntyä takaisin. Tilanne on siis nyt erilainen, koska Venäjä joutuu käyttämään pakkokeinoja jo tässä vaiheessa ihmisten saamiseen sinne rajalle. Ihmismassojen saaminen jonnekkin on paljon helpompaa jos ne menee sinne itse. Kovin veikkaan että Venäjällä olevat pakolaiset ovat kuulleet Puolan tapahtumista eivätkä halua samaan tilanteeseen.

Mars rovers are expensive as fuck, their capabilities are basic at most when compared to humans, and even then they aren’t built to withstand snow and ice. Research institutes don’t send people to the ass end of the world just because they can.

Remote sensing is great, but a considerable portion of the work done in the Antarctic is to benchmark the data we get from Earth observation satellites so we can develop those capabilities further. And even then, there’s only so much that can be done with satellites.

So all the environmental science done there is somehow not good for the environment?

While there’s definitely already too much tourists, about 90% of people visiting inland Antarctica are still scientists and their support staff.

Is there too much tourism in Antarctica? Yes.

Is this it? No.

If you think that the research institute operating the airstrip wants to have a tourist resort next door to their Antarctic research base, I do not know what to tell you.
