I work in a place where they had specific arrangements for that.

It was something like after 5 years of employment there you could take a year off and come back to the same position you left.

No, Trump does not want NASA to get to the Moon or Mars.

Trump wants NASA to be a tool that funnel money from the government to billionaires, aka Musk and Bezos

As a comparison too SpaceX can launch Starship at least 6 more times before reaching the cost of a single Saturn V launch, I an not even talking about development cost.

Starship also did reach orbital velocity on several launches.

The goals are different.

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I'm doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions ...Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I'm thinking of adding my server in it too.

Looking at Alibaba, the "bare fiber for FPV drone" cost around $600 for a 50km spool.

Journey

There is not a single word in the game, barely any control but the game take you through an emotional story.

It's multiplayer in a sense that you might meet another player, they can help you, you can help them or just continue on your path and despite not having any words it just fell like a genuine, pure connection with someone.

And the music is amazing.

Even for very long distances (where flying is almost mandatory unless you are ready to spend weeks traveling) trains make things easier.

For example I'm living in a small village in the south east of France and I will be traveling to the carribean in summer for family, I will be walking to the train station is my village to take the train, 2 changes later I will be in London from where I'll take the plane to cross the Atlantic.

Same thing on the way back but with a night train.

This one hurt a bit too close to home.

In high school and college I did believe that in my lifetime humanity would really start space exploration and colonization.

I studied engineering and did everything I could to contribute to this great advancement of humanity. I got a double master degree in aerospace manufacturing, specialized in the machining of exotic alloys used in aerospace, worked on rocket engines, developed new machining techniques that unlocked new possibilities for aircraft engines performances and was working my way up to be one of the few people in Europe highly specialized on machining technique for these alloys used in aerospace.

Then in 2016 I read more and more about "Collapse", more specifically the collapse of our thermo industrial civilization. We are not going to colonize space, we will be lucky if most of humanity does not die in the coming century.

So rather than contributing to the future of humanity with my work I was contributing to worsen the condition of life on earth by accelerating climate change and the uses of resources.

I had a bit of an existential crisis at this point.

Did you try with a new Sim card ? I had the same problem on my fairphone where it kept losing the network.

I got a new sim card, it fixed the issue and it seem to be a common issue with Fairphones

 

So, to give the context I was driving to a city 2 hours away from my home and the shortest path is through mountains.

I was surprised by the snow but, apparently I was not the only one. From afar I saw this big geese-like bird jumping on the road but realized when it tried to take off that it looked much bigger.

As I got closer I realized that it was probably a Vulture. The closest match I could find is the griffon Vulture, there is some in the area.

It did not look hurt, it was trying to fly but could not take off.

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.

I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

To be fair they were also using encrypted messaging to talk to each other like WhatsApp and Signal, they even show their mom how to use it which is extremely suspicious.

“All members of this group were particularly suspicious, only communicating with each other using encrypted applications, in particular Signal, and encrypting their computers and devices […].

when the DGSI [a French security agency charged with counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups] has questioned Bastien about what he thinks of Macron. A photograph on his computer is mentioned, which according to them details the President's security arrangements for the July 14th parade. (...)

The device in question (an aerial photo taken from the press) is highlighted in such a way as to draw a dick. A dick.

The link is made with Bastien's passion for drones. The implication is that he could have used a drone to attack this dick-shaped device using explosives.

I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.

It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.

It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.

This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
