If its a optical image satellite, it probably doesnt take much to burn on the camera if it's shutter is open.

I imagine the precision needed for that is lacking in a solar mirror motor.

Small satellite that's at least 100km away

Yes but that's socialist.

And goes against my donors paycheck.

/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn't rely on cars.

Not quite, the true invariant quantity is the magnitude of the spacetime 4 vector, which depends on rest mass.

It actually goes further than that. In spacetime you're always going the same speed, the more in space, less in time.

At least from the special relativity perspective.

That seems around what I'd expect the measurement error to be anyway

I'm interested in trying to install Linux on my arc laptop, I'm wondering as well. I might try in the next few days.

Eventually yes, but I personally think that recycling solar panels and so on could slow collapse much more than the author suggests.

Also batteries, lithium is expensive so a lot of companies are trying to come up with cheaper, but also more sustainable alternatives. And they already have with lithium iron phosphate that requires less lithium. And as prices for a substance rise, so will the desire for alternatives and recycling.

We caused, indirectly or even directly, many of the causes that people are trying flee from in their home countries in Latin america.

The vast majority of them are trying to flee gang violence.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.
