Hey, I'm up for either.
If AI art generators can make me pictures of naked ladies in 2022, by 2025 they should be able to generate a whole country.

I don't wanna be that guy, but is there any real backend to this? Or is it just a random country name generator?

Thank you. I live near the Saskatchewan Estherhazy and didn't know it was based on a location and Hungary.

Reply to comment by 2ArmsGoin3 in SpaceX has successfully launched iSpace's Hakuto-R M1 moon lander into a low-energy transfer ballistic lunar transfer trajectory. The 340 kg (750 lbs) craft is expected to land on the Moon in April 2023. by lughnasadh
Kinda, yeah! Basically what they're doing is taking a lot less fuel, and utilizing various gravity transfers to get out to the moon without having to expend a bunch of fuel to speed up, and then expend that same amount of fuel to slow down again once they get there.

Reply to comment by bleachedsharkfur in Egypt to add 1.1 GW in solar, wind power with cheapest rates in Africa by darth_nadoma
You're right the heat is a little bit of a barrier, but it's a trade-off. The areas that produce the most sun, also produce the most heat. The panels are tuned to do their best. There are cooling options, but I have yet to see many places implement them. If you have fresh water nearby, you can certainly liquid cool them, but then you start to cut into your power production.
Yes the dust is also an issue, there are automated ways to take care of it, and they're automatic ways to take care of it. It's also a trade-off. Sometimes the wind is sufficient to blow the sand on and off again.
It's all part of the calculations they do before approving a project like this.

I'm over on the SK/MB border now. Close enough to Manitoba to feel like I have some culture, but just far enough to get the low Saskatchewan taxes.

I wonder if those fissures from 2018 now exist as weak spots, or are they like calcium deposits filling in a broken bone that are actually stronger than the surrounding bone?

I also had a cable modern in roughly '97, at roughly the speed you quoted.
Starlink is over 100x faster, and this is about a mobile option. Literally no comparison.

Reply to comment by Dark_Believer in If you lived on a planet in the center of the Milky Way would the nighttime be significantly brighter compared to Earth’s nighttime due to the larger concentration of stars? by bad_take_
Conversely there was a short story included as part of "Fallen Dragon" by Peter F. Hamilton that described a civilization whose solar system was inside a thick nebula of dust. Not being able to see anything but their own star, they never bothered to develop astronomy or space exploration, their civilization rising and falling all without ever having stepped off their home planet.
Silver lining, they never had to deal with astrologers.

Reply to Signatures of alien technology could be how humanity first finds extraterrestrial life by WallStreetDoesntBet
The first discovery of an exoplanet was made years before we realized what it was. I would imagine the same will happen for aliens. In fact we've likely already discovered them, we just don't know how to recognize them.

Reply to Why can we freeze embryos for IVF but not adult humans? What makes it possible for embryos? by Nimynn
There's some interesting history about freezing and thawing live animals, and some of it is detailed in this video. They specifically describe why the same technique would never work in something as large as a human
Yes, that's the right video. It involves microwaving animals who have been frozen.
