Kessler syndrome is something the Internet loves to talk about without truly understanding.

These satellites fly at a very low orbit, and will deorbit themselves within a few years if they go dead. They would likely deorbit even faster if there was a debris cloud following a collision.

We’re not going to be locked out of space for generations, not by any means.

They are legitimately moving slower than a snail’s pace, and Ukraine is even retaking territory in places. There’s no conceivable way this could be considered to be going well.

It’s a backronym, but one used officially by the company, including having it on their vehicles.

That would actually be a genius move. Make a post about all the dangers of using an RPG in this way, as well as the technical inaccuracy of the muzzle flash.

Uhhh…

Do you just not read the news? Like never at all? Or talk to people about world events?

The pilots are wearing helmets and hearing protection, plus the windows are down.

There’s also a muzzle flash, which isn’t how an RPG works.

They’ll find it, their space program is one of the few things going well for Russia, and there’s too much prestige on the line.

Did we learn nothing from Grenfell? Stop covering the outside of the building in flammable shit.

Yeah, just depositing the money into your account is surprisingly sloppy.

Vending machine business, that’s the way to go.

Usually because of statements made by the perpetrator, either before or after the attack, that show they targeted this person for that reason.

You may be right, but it was one of their key election policies, and they utterly failed to deliver on it.

Ignore the doomer. There are some ratty old houses around, but there are also plenty of places that are modern and well insulated. We’ve had something of a building boom over the last few years, driven in large part due to changes in zoning rules, so a huge number of town houses and apartments have been built. It’s also possible to retrofit insulation to an extent, which we’ve done in our house. We now have underfloor and ceiling insulation, as well as double glazed windows.

A lot of rentals have been retrofitted wherever possible, as there are now minimum standards for rental properties.

There’s a lot of things the Ardern government failed on. Cost of living, cost of housing, both to rent and to buy, child poverty, they all got measurably worse under her government.

She’s viewed far more favourably than she deserves to be, especially internationally where their failures didn’t make the news.

He stole that from a comedian BTW, it wasn’t his joke. Still funny though.

Because the NZ economy is particularly bad right now, and our housing market is effed.

Something to remember when reading these headlines, is that Australia is a ridiculously wealthy country, in large part due to mineral wealth, and anyone in NZ can just go there and get a job.

It has almost nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with making more money.

For now, sure. They change PMs like they change underwear over there.

And they treat their indigenous people very poorly.

It’s almost entirely the cost of living VS income, very little to do with politics.

I don’t know how to describe how stupid leaving NZ for Australia because of politics would be.

How the fuck did they not get arrested?
