95% of trips are 30 miles or less. Of course everyone is the exception, we’re all above average drivers here.

And even if it was pointed at random human equipment it’s so far away that you need a very special radio and antenna; not just any old satellite is necessarily going to do the trick. I think the signal strength is around -196db iirc so incredibly faint, and The antennas they use to communicate with voyager are massive.

Apparently other people want other things… like civil discourse and pertinent analysis. just move along already

Pretty damning with faint praise there really.

Just got to find the right contest, friend

I run a local MediaWiki appliance from turnkeylinux, super easy to spin up in proxmox.

Dems removed filibuster for all appointment except scotus in 2013 then R’s removed for scotus in 2017. Now republicans could have done it anyway on 2017 even without precedent, and Democrats could have forced merick garland in if they had gone fully nuclear. I’d call it equally shared

It seems to me that the old left doesn’t want to play with the new left just as much as vice versa. Definitely a shame that they can’t work together better but blaming it all on the kids is a strangely conservative position for the ‘old left’ to take….

The recrimination goes both ways is my point, and is to the detriment of both

With identity politics, it seems even worsened that the new left cares about ideological purity and sin which prevents coalition type movements.

This critique is pervasive and has always rung hollow to me when trying to navigate this divide. The onus is also on the old left to build bridges imho

I know that’s the argument but Framing it as ‘the new folks on the block don’t want to build bridges’ isn’t a very good way to build bridges.

Basically I think this whole analysis is a lazy way to dismiss the new left. Not that they’re perfect or anything, but I think there is an equal responsibility for both groups to work together.

Idk Still sounds to me like this is mostly a clever way to denigrate and dismiss people who aren’t doing things the “right” way.

And I also don’t buy that patriotic duty is the only motivation to work on improving things

But if it works for you then good on ya

That would make sense if there were facts that we all agreed on…..
