"my first girlfriend turned into the moon"

Great article. 100% worth the read.

Housing in Japan is cheap. Smaller than you're used to but still cheap.

Thanks. I can see how our Australian tradition of letting roads just go to shit confused me.

I guess we don't really have freeze and thaw cycles. Only hot and even hotter cycles.

Maybe I'm just a dumb Australian but what are they doing exactly? Painting a street? Why? Is it purely decorative or is there some functional purpose eg "seals the surface so ice during winter doesn't crack it"

That went quick! I read about the trial starting only last week.

That has always been the only way to do it without any doubt.

I don't buy clothes online but my wife does. This is how she works: She orders stuff all the time. Maybe every few days something will arrive and she'll try it on. It's like a constant production line so she's never actively waiting to try things on. They "just arrive" constantly.

And yes she returns a ton of stuff. She probably visited the post office twice a week to return the non fitting items. Or a lot of times they fit but don't quite look the same on her than she imagined or the quality wasn't great.

Also some places she has ordered enough times from that fitting isn't an issue any more. She knows their cuts and sizing very well.

I guess it also helps to be a standard size of traditional proportions. For myself I have to compensate for a more typical programmer physique haha.

Mexico: no takesies backsies.

They touch upon it in the article but there was a Lemmy comment a while back talking about how hard it really is to send anything to the sun. Because the earth is orbiting the sun anything we launch is also orbiting the sun and you have to add a whole ton of delta v to break out of the orbit.

What an unlucky coincidence.

So starlink, these 2, and Europe. I'm sure there will be more... These things are exploding. I wonder if they'll interfere with each other... There's only so much usable bandwidth in the spectrum.
