I got IP banned on Reddit for saying that someone who pushed a woman on a bike over and made her fall, should be pushed instead. Big violence on my part lmfao

We’ll probably have to figure that one out but we largely let the Mods set the tone in communities and, as this is a friendly, helpful community, I wouldn’t bet on that post remaining.

More competition will ensure the oligarchs to behave.

I don’t trust the EU tech owners, but I recognize that they are at an disadvantage to the US counterpart (and nationalism is a useful tool to sell their product) so they won’t be making overt moves to dismantle European democracy.

It’s really really really not up to trust! Imagine if bec of eu oligarchs thousands of folks died because said oligarchs refused to pay for peoples healthcare!

So there really is one still in existence? So, like, if a prototype were needed ( just hypothetically speaking, of course), to build more, that could be done?

I mean, the things aren’t arcane devices from a mythical age, they are pretty well documented if you wanted to build your own.

Given Musk’s latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.

He makes ambigious statements (I read the linke nitter link). Eutelsat OneWeb is available now. If it is robust against russian jamming needs to be seen.

Iris2 won’t be available before end 2030s or so. But there is another European goverment constellation they mentioned.

Edit It was govsatcom. Source: https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-to-help-ukraine-replace-musks-starlink/ and Infos about the Constellation https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/govsatcom-satellite-communications_en

Others are also considered: https://mil.in.ua/en/news/eu-negotiates-starlink-replacement-for-ukraine-with-four-satellite-operators/

What are the clinical manifestations of Ketamine addiction? I’m asking honestly, because I don’t know, and I wonder if he ticks the boxes.

Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11

Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12

Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14

Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16

From NIDA.

Physical Effects

Damage to the urinary tract – Ketamine abuse can cause inflammation, scarring, and ulcers in the bladder, urethra, and kidneys. This can lead to difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and even kidney failure.

Respiratory problems – Chronic use of ketamine can result in respiratory depression and damage to the lungs.

Heart complications – Ketamine can increase heart rate and blood pressure, which can strain the cardiovascular system and lead to heart problems.

Musculoskeletal issues – Prolonged use of ketamine can cause muscle stiffness, weakness, and even paralysis.

Mental Effects

Cognitive impairment – Long-term abuse of ketamine can impair cognitive function, including memory loss, decreased attention span, and difficulty with problem-solving.

Mood disorders – Ketamine abuse has been linked to the development of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

Addiction – Like many other drugs, ketamine can be highly addictive and can lead to psychological dependence. Chronic users may struggle with cravings and withdrawal symptoms when attempting to quit.

It is real and my biggest concern right now is that European politicians seem so quiet about this. This conversation, including Rubio’s comment, is scandalous.

Starlink is just putting up cubesats with basic programming variations. The EU space agency can easily provide a competitive service that values freedom and democracy.
