Correct. Giving meaningful choices is hard.

That moment when you look around for the most competent person, and come the sad conclusion that it’s you

99% this is why the Tu-22 used ethanol for coolant. If you do your maintenance properly, you get free booze after every successful landing.

Also, the price point determines the sort of people looking at your add

Choice can’t exist without information. If you know nothing, you can’t chose. If two doors are perfectly the same, it’s not a choice. If you have no information on either path in the forest, you’re not really choosing.

Wait, my memory says you flap your hair with your hands. Is it really ear stroking?

Meanwhile, basically every Dutch students “dates” by bike, and most of London dates via the Underground.

Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it’s extremely expensive in upkeep.

The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is “working on it”, but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can’t possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.
