Van Allen belt (consisting of very high energy particles) extends somewhere from 400 to 600km above earth's surface so it's not that far from the space station

Just wanted to clarify: Here "space" means merely 300km above earth's surface and not thousands or millions. Even 300km is very difficult to survive (space station's zero gravity, etc.)

All space programs is about weaponizing space through attack capabilities or defense capabilities or spying capabilities. All other things tv and media coverage and grandstanding is to fool the public into continuing the funding or to avoid the public ire. Only the novice buy into the interplanetary travel dream

For my use case, you are making mountain out of a mole hill. I use AntiX linux with XFCE. I have to use zoom professionally with writing tablet on my laptop for hours daily. Never faced even tiny bit of a problem. Never have to install any drivers for tablet. Nothing. AntiX is fully usable and very fast Debian based OS and doesn't uses systemd. It uses runit.

runit do not manages both, system and user services. XFCE is out dates and many softwares will be Wayland only. xfce4-wayland will be based on labwc. Modern Linux can be without X11 or systemd but not without Wayland

if you convinced yourself you are stuck with Wayland then you are also stuck with systemd, you won’t escape that trap

I like Wayland but I don't like much systemd endless scope

James Joyce wearing his bottle bottom glasses (thick glasses) would like to have a word with you. You can call him genius, dirty, knowledgeable in many languages but certainly not gibberish. He used to hold long book club style readings of his books among the prominent literateur in his times to exactly impinge in their minds that what he writes is clever and not gibberish. In our book club we often discuss for hours what he was trying to say on a page. Sometimes he says things in 3 different dimensions by writing a single sentence.

Woolf had his number, she was right on every count.

Are you sure you are not just reinforcing my point? :)

Yep.

> He used to hold long book club style readings of his books among the prominent literateur in his times to exactly impinge in their minds that what he writes is clever and not gibberish.

My was so clever, that he had to verbally harangue people into finding his writing clever.


In the modern era i.e. after 1940s my very very scant art understanding only likes Banksy among the famous ones. Thanx that now I feel we know who he is


One thing apalling in the western and especially US mindset is that middle East ppl are terrorists. No Iran was never involved in any acts of individual or planned terrorism. Covert CIA like spy operations: Yes because everyone is it's enemy (I'm neither a fan of US nor Iran. I don't care who wins. I don't care who survives. But the bloodshed troubles me) It's just face-palm moment to realize that whoever has other sensibilities is an extremist or maybe terrorist.


Well, I'll apologize for using the word. Usually I try to be a bit more nuanced with my analyses. But in this case it seems entirely appropriate to throw that fearmongering word right back at people driving the bloodshed with overly simplistic tales of being able to subjugate a country by keeping its electric grid destroyed from the air - especially a country where only a scant few weeks ago the narrative was all about how the population overwhelmingly desires a secular society and is eager to throw off the chains of its oppressive regime.


Not a chance. Iran is much much bigger georaphy than Iraq. And now all countries are better prepared for their traditional foes than bygone era. US has done a misadventure thinking it is the middle East of early 2000. No now everyone is prepared thanx to Russia and China taking turns to equip traditional foes. Even though the Indian media did not say outright but even India and Pakistan war last year was a tough one for India. It was no easy victory. Rather there was no victory. Just ceasefire. Now everyone is prepared.


I'm sorry, do you not understand what the US is these days? Who runs it? They already have. Yesterday news started leaking about a 2-5,000 unit deployment.

But friends and family of military already knew before that.


...and their geo location is much more in favor for their defense than the deserts of Iraq. If Trump thinks he can send troups there, this will fail: Iran has much more soldiers, 10.000 USD ultracheap drones etc.

This will rater end as "Vietnam 2.0" with this move: Lot of military equipment locked-in for years in a conflict you cant win.


Thank you so much. Enriching


i have no background in Greek. But it looked nice. How ancient are we talking about. Will it cover the ancient Greek that Bible Theologians and Bible students study or will they have to look elsewhere?
