Somehow I don’t think Errol Musk knew that much about the geology. Allegedly he bought the shares on a whim without first visiting the mine, which was in a different country.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don’t know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.

SpaceX wants new regulations regarding satellite brightness.

Their own satellites (at least the second generation ones) fulfill the requirements set by the astronomers at the Rubin Observatory. Meanwhile the satellites of the competitors OneWeb and Amazon can’t fulfill them without major design changes, because the altitude the satellites orbit at makes a significant difference.

If the recommendations of the Rubin Observatory report were turned into regulations now, Starlink would barely be affected (they’d just have to stop the gen1 sat production a little early) while the competition would be set back several years.

Does it cause issues if domain and tld match?

For people who previously used SMS and had their contacts saved in the phone’s pre-installed contact app, WhatsApp could use all those contacts out of the box.

If per-user instance filters are implemented, perhaps instances could have “default blacklists” for new users for stuff like exploding-heads or lemmygrad that most people don’t want to see, with the option to manually un-block them if someone does want to see that.

Brilliant Pebbles. A space-based ICBM interceptor program from the 80s.

The one part of Reagan’s Star Wars that would totally have worked if they’d deployed it, but the Soviet Union didn’t last long enough…

another idea: add links like /c/aoblightnovel@bookwormstory.social to the sidebar to switch between communities when logged in from another instance

Also when sorting by active, posts jump around whenever you go to the next page, so you miss some posts and see others twice

The reddit has Anime/LN/Prepub/WN flairs for spoiler management, I think for lemmy having separate communities for each level would be ideal. That way people can subscribe to those they want and block WN and/or prepub content entirely.

Once Hildebrand finds out about the adoption and engagement, he might plot to make book addicted Dunkelfelger demand that Rozemyne should be given the throne as the true Zent and she should marry someone who loves her instead of becoming a third wife in a purely political marriage. There’s two years between adoption/book acquisition and the marriage.

Obviously he’d be pretty heartbroken when the plot works, she marries Ferdinand and arranges for Hildebrand to be sent to Ehrenfest as first husband of Aub Charlotte.

But Rozemyne is dead serious about the library being non-negotiable.

They already know that using mana on the stage makes the circle show up. Everyone saw that during the wedding and assumed it was for Sigiswald. This time royals won’t be present, so if it shows up again, everyone will know it lights for Rozemyne (and probably wasn’t for Sigiswald during the wedding).

The bright line is Starlink satellites immediately after deployment.

Starlink satellites do have stealth features to make them less bright, but those are only active in normal operational mode. Immediately after deployment and while dodging space debris, they are more visible.

Really big map, mostly empty

Because SpaceX satellites are coated in special reflective materials to reduce brightness. That requires the satellite to be oriented the right way to reflect the light from the sun away from the planet, so it only reduces brightness of the satellites in the operational orbit. Satellites immediately after deployment are far more visible.

We need more housing.

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.
