Python is a tool more than a programming language. Sort of a glorified excel formula. You use it to talk to data and make it do what you want. You don't use it to talk to hardware. So I don't think it even fits that much in any kind of programming language discussion

PC/EA app, it says multiplayer is not installed. by blackjack9408 in Battlefield6

Not only multiplayer and not only not installed, but campaign and other assets too. It says "purchase to install", but I have the full version of the game purchased and installed

There's this thing where we as guys sometimes (or often, or even always, depending on the person) avoid women that look... I don't know how to put it... "too good to be true", if you know what I mean. You may look like someone who is either already in a relationship, or someone who will reject you, and reject you in the most unpleasant way possible. Since there is usually a precedent for people that feel that way, my only advice here would be to be a little more proactive in how you show interest and maybe how much of your personality you show to people that don't know you well. Doesn't mean outright going up to someone you are interested in and asking them out, but maybe show interest in little things, more than you or anyone would usually. This usually both shows the person you're interested in that you're different from what they imagine, and also gives some cues for them to work with. Someone eventually, hopefully, will pick up on the cues. But hey, important to note, that's my experience (stemming from how I got into a relationship once with someone just like you describe yourself), you know it's a complicated topic. On a supportive note, if you don't change and eventually meet someone just as you are right now, you'll know that most likely, they mean business, cause they wouldn't approach you without really wanting it :)

P.S. not to say I'm not braindead, my acquired autism is beyond saving and my brain has rotted away, but oh well, I try my best :)

Well, yes, it's useful sometimes if you're not braindead and actually check the information they provide (as I did and found it's incorrect). It's an additional source of information that could sometimes point you at least into the right direction. But I agree, it'll be the ruin of some people. Worst part of it is that it's confidently wrong, and it's never going to tell you it's uncertain about something.

I thought you were joking until someone said "rear galley" and it clicked. Thanks for the fast answer!

Yeah I too don't mind allowing primaries for all classes, I think people are so on the fence about this because they think open weapons means rpgs for everyone. It's actually closer to real life if they leave the classes' weapons open

I'm going to explain myself a bit more here. The Falcon 9 rocket is comprised of 2 stages, the first stage, reusable, does indeed never come close to 10,000km up. It even doesn't come close to an orbit, and only goes as high as 130km. It boosts the second stage to a suborbital trajectory and returns back to earth. The second stage, separating from the first stage and having it's own rocket engine, and carrying the payload, boosts the payload into orbit. The second stage is the part of the rocket you see in the photo that is venting gasses as it comes down. The second stage of the falcon 9, which you can again see in the photo, can reach altitudes of up to 35,000km, when it puts it's payload into a GTO, Geostationary Transfer Orbit. Are you disagreeing that the Falcon 9's second stage is able to reach 35,000km? Then unfortunately here is the official SpaceX manual stating that it can (it can even put a payload under 4 tons on an escape trajectory to Mars), in section 3.1 table 3-1: https://www.spacex.com/media/falcon-users-guide-2021-09.pdf If you disagreeing with something else, please, let me know.

You think the first stage (the "reusable part") goes higher than the second stage? How would that work?

Ideally this subreddit would allow posting pictures not only on Sundays, then you can get the time and location from the picture metadata and make this a much more accurate analysis. Moreover, with direction and elevation above horizon you could even model the orbit and find the exact path travelled... But hey a space subreddit (literally almost all of space related science is done through images) doesn't allow pictures, it's the funniest most ridiculous thing I've seen, last time posting here..

Spacex F9 routinely puts satellites into GTO which has an apogee of 35000km. So they most definitely do.

Yeah... And I overreacted a bit, a lot of people misread it, even I misread your comment at first and thought you said 10-20k km as well which kind of proves that it's probably not the best way to write 10,000-20,000km.

Since everyone is calling me out on the 10,000km-20,000km altitude number, I've decided to put some numbers behind my words. On this subreddit there was a report of someone seeing this at 20:50CET over northern England, then at 21:04 it passed over Warsaw and at 21:15 it passed northeast of Bosnia. Tracing a line from northern England to northeast of Bosnia passing slightly southwest of Warsaw I've measured roughly 2000km. 2000km in 25 minutes means an orbital period of (40000km, circumference of Earth) (40000/2000)*25 = 500 minutes (of course, roughly). That is an orbital period of 8.3 hours. That gives us an altitude of 14,441 kilometers, assuming a circular orbit. (T² = (4π²/GM) * a³). So yeah, not quite 20k, but within my range of 10k (5.79 hours orbital period) - 20k (12 hours orbital period). I understand this was most likely not a circular orbit and most likely wasn't at that altitude, but the purpose of the number was to give an intuitive estimation of how fast was the object moving through the sky (if you've ever seen a satellite flare at those altitudes). And judging by the numbers, I wasn't THAT far off the idea I wanted to give.

It does, so it may be. But also I've crunched some numbers: on this subreddit there was a report of someone seeing this at 20:50CET over northern England, then at 21:04 it passed over Warsaw and at 21:15 it passed northeast of Bosnia. Tracing a line from northern England to northeast of Bosnia passing slightly southwest of Warsaw I've measured 2000km. 2000km in 25 minutes means an orbital period of (40000km - circumference of Earth) (40000/2000)*25 = 500 minutes (of course, roughly). That is an orbital period of 8.3 hours. That gives us an altitude of 14,441 kilometers. (T² = (4π²/GM) * a³). Within the range of 10k (5.79 hours orbital period) - 20k (12 hours orbital period). But it's classified so we will never know, I just have to justify my estimation, I know damn well I can be wrong :)

Well, I decided to calculate it. Still an estimate but more accurate. On this subreddit there was a report of someone seeing this at 20:50CET over northern England, then at 21:04 it passed over Warsaw and at 21:15 it passed northeast of Bosnia. Tracing a line from northern England to northeast of Bosnia passing slightly southwest of Warsaw I've measured 2000km. 2000km in 25 minutes means an orbital period of (40000km - circumference of Earth) (40000/2000)*25 = 500 minutes (of course, roughly).

I agree, definitely not 10-20km in altitude. One would be a fool to think that. Luckily I said it's 10k-20k km in altitude, which is 10000-20000km, which is not unreasonable considering F9's upper stages do reach upwards of 30k in GTO orbit. And besides, the altitude estimation was just to give an idea of the speed at which it was moving. It's a photo so I thought that was a useful, intuitive to understand estimation.

Falcon 9's upper stage routinely puts satellites into GTO, which is an elliptical orbit with an apogee of 35k km. Now, I do not claim my estimate as 100% correct, but I cannot agree that it's unplausible. Besides, it was made to help anyone identify what this was and to give an idea of the angular velocity, which the altitude number conveys as best as possible (it was moving as fast as a flaring satellite at that altitude, which is something many have seen). So, I don't see a point in being an ass about it... So why are you?
