re: Reflect Orbital, uspol, geospace, future math textbook problem 

@sys64738 That's a good point. Surely it'll have enough propellant onboard for a deorbit onto the roof of a billionaire's mansion.

@sys64738 That's depressingly more power than I was expecting.

And it seems all of the "some random asshole"s in the world have decided it's better to add shitty satellites than subtract any.

Reflect Orbital, uspol, geospace, future math textbook problem 

The FCC decided the orbital flashlight company can go ahead and pollute the night sky of the entire planet with it's misnamed Earendil-1 satellite. I have too many questions.

Its mass is 16 kg.
Its surface area is 18x18 m (324 m^2).
Its orbital altitude is 600-650 km.

How much power does a ground laser need to emit to push it into an escape orbit?

How much power does it need to emit to damage its reflective surface material?

I haven’t been able to eat dark chocolate since trying this 126% cocoa.

And for my own safety I won’t be going near the Chandrasekhar blend again either. Made my whole face pucker.

Half the town too.

At this time, 47 years ago today, July 9, 1979, I made my closest approach to Jupiter, coming within 570,000 km / 354,000 mi of the cloud tops, or 4.89 Jupiter radii.

BBC, 2026-07-29, "Farage's by-election in Clacton officially confirmed": bbc.com/news/articles/cwylzxw7

Notable quote:

Green Party MP Hannah Spencer said: "We get to spend the summer watching Clacton, a farce of a by-election where one of the candidates is a joke character filled with rubbish and the other is Count Binface."

Librarians removing AI from phones and teaching people they have a choice. Not political. Just information literacy, same as fighting book bans. The real work was always about helping people think critically.

Excellent @jasonkoebler piece in @404mediaco about the cultural shift in real-world and online flyers ...

... as people start posting AI-generated ones that all have the same bland creepy look
