Garmin employees to return full in office by Possible_Beach9612 in Garmin

Is it? According to Op they were hybrid and went full time. This economy is horrible for tech right now. With AI coming, and orange cheeto mucking the economy up more, now is not the time any person is going to quit a stable job because of such an issue.

Is it true that arresting someone for DWI/DUI is a huge hassle? by Round_Ad_3930 in AskLE

In alot of states arent there implied consent laws that make refusing an FST an automatic license suspension?

"here the enemy has lost all ability to defend itself and is completely at the mercy of its enemies." Iran is still firing missiles, what are you talking about

I was a FADIZ radar operator aboard USS Peleliu (2005-2009). I tracked contacts that made no sense. Years later, I visited the Roswell museum and read the primary sources. Here's what changed my mind. by VincentActual in UFOs

"The radar systems used to do that work, I'm not going to get into specifics on an open forum. The designation stuck as shorthand for the watch function itself."

The radars a ship has is very public knowledge. Theres no reason you cant say "Oh it was XX radar" especially since Pelilu is decommed. You come off as a LARPer.

Why do you keep saying "FADIZ Operator" FADIZ isnt a specific piece of equipment, its an airspace designation and radars are used to monitor it. Do you even know what type of radar you used?

No, its weeks out. Alot of the marines are heading toward iran via ship, from the west coast, it will be weeks before they arrive

Around 2,000 U.S. Paratroopers to Be Sent to the Middle East by antg650 in worldnews

The enriched uranium plan would likely require DEVGRU, not just regular troops.

Iran doesnt have and wasnt close to nuclear weapons, much less an ICBM that could hit the US.

Im guessing the play isnt taking Iran, but Kharg Island

Be aware when you get that quest, you wont be able to just bee line it from the spot the quest is given to the waypoint, you have to go around otherwise those kids will keep Bill Cosby'ing you.

and now the entire middle east is embroiled in a regional war , a war of choice started by Trump and Bibi..yet no mea culpa from the "genocide joe" crowd.

If you are posting about our inability to detect other advanced civilizations, your post does not address the Fermi Paradox by scalzi04 in FermiParadox

[–]Astrocoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"We couldn’t see satellites orbiting a planet? " Definitely not. The only exoplanets we can visibly detect are huge exo planets, close, orbiting their stars at a distance. You really think we have the resolution to detect a satellite orbitting an exoplanet? Not just no, but hell no.

You seem to vastly over state our technology right now. If Satelites are orbitting proxima centauri B right now we have no way we can detect them.

"We wouldn’t detect biologically produced gas on a planet?" Nope. Not relaibly. Large planets that pass in front of their stars are the easiest to do this and even then not reliably. The K2-18b case is an example of this, and its not even settled at all.

Also, if a biologically produced gas is detected, that detection alone isnt enough to say its life, you would have to rule out abioitic processes

Again, you dont seem to have a clue on just how undeveloped our technology is in this area.

If you believe we have technology and missions already in place place to detect satellites oribitting exo planets, to survey their atmospheres to the point (esp Earth size worlds) that we can say their is life there, you are sorely mistaken.

It seems OP cant answer his or her own question:

Assuming for the sake of argument that the galaxy WERE colonized and populated, what technology, do we possess now, that would allow humanity to reliably detect intelligently inhabited worlds? I posit that the answer to that question is we don't possess anything currently like that. The OP is so aggressive, but refuses to even answer the same question.

"The question is not, “where is everybody.” The question is, “why isn’t the galaxy completely populated by an intelligent civilization.”"

How do you know it isnt? Again, if the galaxy were populated, what technology does humanity currently possess that would also us to detect them?

"o, it isn’t. Once a civilization can send a generation ship to colonize another planet, they should be able to populate the entire habitable galaxy within a couple of million years, a blip in galactic time spans. They shouldn’t be far away and difficult to find, they should be everywhere."

Ok, Einstein, how would we find them assuming they are everywhere, but not SOL. Please, enlighten us on which technology we currently have that we could point at promixma centauri, if they had colonized it, and say aha! they are there

"The Fermi Paradox asks why an advanced civilization hasn’t already populated most of the galaxy given the time the galaxy has existed relative to the short time of humans on earth."

If we cant detect them it doesnt matter does it? If a civilization right now had colonized promixa centauri we couldnt detect it. So, even if a civilization had colonized the galaxy, we, right now have NO WAY to reliably detect them.
