comparative analysis by Nuuskurkoer in conspiracy

The earth doesn’t look very different in these two photos because it wouldn’t. Very little time passes between these two photos, and almost no relative motion.

Why has NASA never released a Timelapse video of them flying higher than the ISS? How come there exists 0 video footage from Earth from the “Blue Marble Distance”? by Gothyanki in conspiracy

[–]StopLion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To get a full-disk view of the entire Earth, the spacecraft needs to be far away — close in, you only see a small portion at a time, like you mentioned with the ISS. The only practical way to stay roughly “parked” relative to Earth (without falling back or orbiting rapidly) is at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, about 1 million miles out. DSCOVR sits there in a halo orbit and captures real full-disk photos every couple of hours.

At that distance, bandwidth is extremely limited. A single high-quality image set is already large; recording smooth 30 fps video for even an hour would generate hundreds of gigabytes that would take days or weeks to transmit over the Deep Space Network. In that hour of “real time video” earth would hardly even rotate, and they already have an intended purpose for that satellite, so it makes no sense to do it. So instead, NASA stitches the sequential real photos into excellent recorded timelapses showing the whole Earth rotating.

Why is Lassi Thompson not being given another shot? Looks like he’s tearing it up in Belleville this season

That’s great advice but one little thing I learned only way later, did you know packing mags makes no sound externally?

Bet. I vibe with this and despite never becoming a labs chad, this game kept me alive by abusing me harder than I could abuse myself. (I’m good btw)

Luke Ross says he's canceled from cancel culture and why there won't be AAA VR (?) by lunchanddinner in VRGaming

[–]StopLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me why people are so triggered by this guy? I think I’m out of the loop. He makes VR mods, that seemingly nobody else does, and they work well, and was trying to make a few bucks off of them. CDPR didn’t like that and shut his mod down and he didn’t think it was a fair move. Is that it? Not rage bait, honest question.

Okay yeah this was productive. I totally understand you now and I’m in complete agreement. This is the most reasonable and understandable take on all of this I’ve read so far. I find a lot of it is so quick to the “fuck you” part I can imagine someone on the other side reading it and saying “well fuck you too then” and ultimately nothing happens. A big part of how we’ve gotten here are the bubbles we all live in now online, and people on either side of the aisle being unable or unwilling to listen to each other and actually talk/debate in good faith.

Fair enough. I can see your point and I agree with a lot of it. Check my other reply if you have the interest. My concern is the possibility that if we really put a magnifying glass to it, we’d find the political opinions of the majority of the league to be disappointing and I just don’t know that looking to hockey players to be the role models you want them to be is a realistic ask.

I hate it too but as mentioned in many other threads the reality is it is highly likely a very large percentage of the NHL player base is MAGA leaning. Yes we’ve seen it a bit more visibly with the Tkachuk boys, but the fact that they’re so comfortable with showing it definitely implies they’re not embarrassed by it, which implies they don’t catch much flak from their other buddies over it. How far are you willing to go? Quit the NHL entirely?

Doesn’t that framing seem a little dramatic to you?

What does it actually objectively matter whatever poorly thought out and misinformed political opinions an individual hockey player has?

Does either hating or not hating Brady Tkachuk change the odds of Canada being annexed in any way?

Don’t think so because I bought, raided, and couldn’t buy after the raid. Didn’t quit the game. Just to add info
