ASAT missiles are only suitable for low earth orbit, you’d need a rocket about the size of a falcon 9 to reach GEO where Intelsat was sitting. Think people might notice that. Wouldn’t need the satellite to be on a suicide mission, could just slap a gun on it like the good old days.
They have one sigint satellite Olymp-K creeping around up there, why not a second that doesn’t have a Wikipedia article

You can’t really grow the same crop in the same field season after season (without fertiliser), because they’ll sap the specific nutrients they need from the soil. If you do that over and over eventually the soil wont have any food for that crop. Growing something different each season that takes different nutrients from the soil lets it recover the other ones. I don’t know how it recovers on its own, circle of life stuff probably. Modern farming can cheat by artificially replenishing the nutrients with fertiliser.
I didn’t think the vogons were the ones with the answer to the ultimate question in H2G2
He was, and was part of the reason remain failed because they thought it would be an easy win
Interesting, fair enough, that makes sense. So your receiver was getting a 5.1 signal, but it really did just ignore half the channels when you set it to output 2.1.
That’s not the problem I think most people here are complaining about though, which is sound mixing / dynamic range / editing making speech too quiet, rather than having the wrong settings.
I don’t think missing channels get muted, they just get shared into what’s available. A 5.1 soundtrack played on a 2.1 system is going to share Centre between L and R, and put SL onto L and SR onto R. I have an old surround sound system that can’t decode the new codecs that Disney plus etc use, but the Chromecast knows this so just sends it out a 2 channel boring signal. Dialogue is fine because it just goes to the two speakers equally, rather than be cut out. If your system is set up to output to 5.1 speakers but you just haven’t plugged in the centre speaker, then that’s a different thing and you would miss stuff, same as if you didn’t plug in the front left speaker.
I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it’s not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn’t go up in the same way.
I too watched veritasium today
They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.
I saw Tesla the other day that someone had fitted a fake V8 exhaust speaker to, so don’t expect the obnoxiousness to go away.
They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast

Why are they so far away? There is logic to what you’re saying, according to this website Americans drive on average twice as far as Italians/Germans etc. so if you scale by that America is still slightly higher but not as bad.
Have you got the customisation service turned on in settings? I’ve never seen an ad in my notifications and until recently I was using a Samsung of similar age.
You’re right, but I think the idea of Farage being in charge of pushing through any sorts of ideas (even if it’s reforms that are good) is making people uncomfortable, which is what could be read from your first comment.
I think people don’t like your suggestion/implication of Farage being the one pushing through reforms more than liking Tories.
