This is actually a good idea. In the current school system the cafeteria workers just reheat frozen processed food because it is cheap. Broken clock is right twice a day, so you know.

Averaging is hard for some.

Those sounds are government mandated noises. EVs are silent other than a little tire noise.

Why bother. It would be more performative bullshit. They don't have the votes to impeach him in the Senate. Why waste everyone's time until you can get the job done.

I think it is not that. It is just racism.

Yes, controlled deorbit is usually the plan. But sensor/computer failures can derail the plan. Your fuel budget includes orbit adjusts while in operation and deorbit. Given this is a Musk endeavor, I am sure they are having a fair share of uncontrolled de-orbits.

Depends on the size and type of material. Some items may survive re-entry.

The system is designed this way. All satellites in low earth orbit use propulsion to maintain their orbit, when the propulsion fuel is exhausted the orbit decays and re-entry occurs.

My theory is that white American culture is failing and as a result their college age children are not able to attend elite universities and are settling for southern universities with lower standards.

Amazingly stupid. My primary doctor and staff all mask because he is an infectious disease specialist. All patients must also mask. It is the exception. When the gop made preventative measures political the country was screwed.

Viruses like gravity are always willing to educate the ignorant.

You make accusations, then when asked for specifics you change the subject with more accusations. You are either a bot or very smooth brained individual who has many opinions and very few facts.
July 9, 2025 at 2:18 PM
What propaganda have I bought into and what have I said that is dishonest?

You have missed that the only issue I had with your statement was the "maximizing civilian casualties". Which is just factually inaccurate.

Am I arguing semantics with a bot?

I agree that the destruction of infrastructure is the point.

Lack of minimizing is not the same as maximizing.
July 8, 2025 at 7:36 PM
That is not maximizing the death toll, they are different things. Just facts, if they wanted to maximize killing they would use different tactics. No need to exaggerate the horror, there is enough horror that is real.
July 8, 2025 at 7:07 PM
They are not maximizing civilian death, that is where we disagree.
July 8, 2025 at 2:33 PM
I don't think so. If it were true, they are doing a really poor job.

They are trying to make the land impossible to live on for the Palestinians so they will migrate out of the region.

Trumps immigration policy is using a similar technique without the bombs.

Would you prefer insults? Not worth it to me.

In the end my opinion on US troop deployment means nothing and yours means less (because you can not vote in the US). This administration is going to make a mess of it, that much we likely agree on.
March 13, 2025 at 8:27 PM
I have heard nothing that explains why the US has to perpetually fund a standing army in a foreign country. I get that people in other countries might like that arrangement and they would like it to continue forever. Are you saying the Germans can not defend themselves given enough time?
March 13, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Tell me why that would be disastrous?

This is hypothetical and does not really apply to current situation in the US because Trump is not motivated by a desire to lower the US debt or manage assets in an optimum fashion.

International relations? Mine is in automatic control theory, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. So very unrelated.
March 13, 2025 at 7:42 PM
You have been an comparing me to "trump lackeys" etc in your comments and adding Trump policy goals in my opinion that are not there.

I never said anything about "paying for other countries". My only opinion is that the US has too much military located in wealthy countries. You disagree, ok BFD
March 13, 2025 at 7:40 PM
No I am not, my PhD is not in this subject matter so it has no real value here. Again, my level of rudeness is a subjective opinion. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

You claim my opinion is "tired poplist garbage" but you state no facts to support your opinion.
