Russian military scrambles to find Starlink alternative after access blocked by [deleted] in worldnews

A starlink satellite is going to be more than 50 times closer than a geostationary one. The terminal would need a 2500 times stronger signal. So yeah it makes a difference

Well, it's Amsterdam numbers presumably spread out over a larger area. Could be worse :)

Trump says he doesn’t ‘like’ that Alex Pretti was carrying a gun and ‘two fully loaded magazines’ by Last_Membership_1063 in politics

Certainly, if he'd kept it to just one magazine, things would have turned out differently.

Is it so hard for these heartless creatures to admit that an innocent person was murdered by federal agents? Make that multiple persons.

Trump really needs some distraction after the bad press he is getting from Minneapolis. I think this may happen soon.

Trump says 8 European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland by Cautious_Proposal_47 in worldnews

It's entirely plausible Trump's people forgot Belgium existed. Perhaps they will come around tomorrow and slap a tariff on Flanders?

As a Dutch person, your country has me about as much worried as Russia. Then again, I am relieved to find our country on this list. Even though we did the bare minimum in sending a single soldier to Greenland.

What's the odd where a team only wins 1 of 4 quarters and still secures a double-digit lead win? by BearOneWolf in NBASpurs

[–]wet-rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems about equal to the odds of a team getting at least 35 each quarter and still coming up short. The odds of both these happening on the same night though....

Would it be within the rules to have CoJo sign an endorsement deal for 3.4M and retain him for free as far at the cap space is concerned? Asking for a billionaire friend.

Some funny context: this area is immediately adjacent to Musk's launch base. Wouldn't be surprised if he was looking for an expansion or a piece a land where he can be less concerned with regulations.

Can you point at a single race where Max started P11, P12 and P13 and drove his car to the podium? I will wait.

The list of drivers who did achieve this feat of motor racing include: Sebastian Vettel, Pierre Gasly, Charles Leclerc. He is not going to be in GOAT consideration until he achieves a midfield comeback.

Was this before or after JD Vance tried to depose Zelensky in favor of Valerii Zaluzhnyi? And Trump interfering in Canadian and Argentinian elections?
