I have him confiused with another who does the same content and now I can't remember that name

Cathode ray dude? Here is a post with him earlier ITT:

Probably as much "woman" as Cathode Ray Dude's "girlfriend."

 

[The Real Slim Shady]

The next video in my subscriptions was him seething like a redditor that car's rear turn signals weren't yellow and claiming it would cause tons of deaths.

Over here we have an influx of ukrainians who fled the war and they took their possesions with them. Now I don't know what are the traffic laws in Ukraine but (most of?) their cars have US-style indicator lights on the rear.
I noticed this only when I was standing in a turn lane behind one.
I put 2 and 2 together to figure out that yes, this red blinking light, being in a place and context where an orange blinking light usually is, must be a turn signal. I wonder if this train of thought exceeds his mental capabilities

 

[Kether]

This guy's "partner" is a hilarious troon. They tried to do a few videos and even a new channel but then wiped all history of it from the web after the backlash.

EDIT: I am mistaken and have him confused with another YT techfag - please unhighlight while I wander off in shame

of course the Indian faggot would just accuse people of having troon boyfriends. and literally everyone here just assumes and gives the stickers. shame on all of you. especially SaidNoOneEver

I legitimately have no idea what movie you're talking about, that's literally just the common name of the scenario named after the original scientist who concieved of it. Does it really even matter if it's been in a movie when it's still a real, mathematically rigourous, concern? It also doesn't really matter how low the orbit is; when things collide in space going tens of thousands of kph the fragments don't just plummet Earth-wards, they are launched in all directions regardless of what orbital zone they were originally placed in. Could it be "better" to be in the very low range? Maybe? But I doubt it would really change much if there are enough of them there and some catastrophic collision were to occur which sent debris into higher orbits in amounts sufficient enough to interfere with satellites in the LEO range or further. Regardless of what arbitrary zone they are placed in, putting too many satellites into space could have very dangerous consequences; full stop. Also Elon hasn't just been discussing Starlink, he at some point said he wants to launch a million satellites into orbit as part of some sort of orbital AI data cluster. Like a data center circling the planet explicitly for AI. Not sure what was the rationale given as to WHY though, maybe to save money on energy costs by using solar or something?

Kessler syndrome is pretty much fake, and even if it killed all the satellites it would only last about five years.

You are both wrong, stop being retarded. The first thing to understand is that the amount of time it takes something to deorbit naturally is astronomically different depending on how much air resistance it encounters. And the amount of air resistance something encounters depends on it's altitude because the further from earth it is the more sparse the atmosphere is. For example 500km (starlink satellite) will deorbit on it's own in about 5 years. Something in geostationary orbit (old TV satellite) is tens of thousands of years.

Because of this starlink satellites are not a problem as has been mentioned.

At the altitude starlink satellites orbit at the debris would deorbit within a year or two.

'But muh collisions' you say. Well the other thing to understand is that because of the energies involved in orbit when things explode or crash into each other they turn into a cloud of debris... in the same orbit. And being in the same orbit they are subject to the same amount of air resistance and will deorbit naturally on roughly the same timescale. Because of this starlink is not really a risk for long-term kessler syndrome. In fact if it happened to starlink it would resolve in a couple years and we would probably get robust regulation regarding space debris as a result so it might be a net positive. If nothing goes wrong until there's tons of shit in GEO and something happens up there it could be much worse.

tldr; Altitude determines how bad kessler syndrome might be. Starlink is low altitude so is not an issue.

Also @Blood Bath & Beyond try using some line breaks and formatting to break up those text walls.

@SCV you're thinking about it wrong. The higher orbits will obviously take more time to decay, but they will decay much faster than they otherwise would because the particles are losing kinetic energy every time they collide with echother. Even if their vectors would result in a net increase in velocity they've still lost something to heat. Every collision essentially drags the particle down further into the atmosphere where it will decay even faster both due to the increased air density and the ever increasing particle density leading to more collisions.

 

[SCV]

You have enough things wrong I'm not really sure where to start.

First of all I don't think you understand how long GEO orbits will last without intervention. It is on the order of millions of years.

Secondly even if everything is turned into a debris shower with millions or billions of pieces total collisions will still be relatively rare. Asteroid belts are not like they're depicted in the movies.

Thirdly "Even if their vectors would result in a net increase in velocity" is outright contrary to thermodynamics.

Fourthly atmospheric drag is negligible above 1000km so even if there is a collision and some of the debis goes to an orbit with a slightly lower perigee it won't matter anyway.


You're just fucking wrong man.

 

[skol]

Finally!
After seeing a few of this guy’s videos in the past I was wondering when would his “By the way, I fucking hate Trump” Quinton-reviews-tier moment be.

We aren't talking about an astroid belt, frankly that comparison is fucking farcical. You're making claims that are directly contradictory unless all of the "debris" are actually satellite seeking weapons. Satelitrs aren't that big, if there is so much junk that you can't have satellites then the cloud is going to interact with its self. You cant have it both ways,

You can have it "both ways" when one way is 'a single collision with an active satellite the size of a football field that has a years or decades long lifespan is catastrophic' and the other way is 'the collision chance per year for one piece of debris the size of a ball bearing is very low * millions or billions'.

He started one of his main channel videos with BLM nonsense when the riots kicked off in 2020. He also whined a lot about America not allowing Huawei phones, for reasons obvious to everyone but him. That guy's insufferable enough for me to keep on my Don't Recommend This Channel list.

Its even better when you find out his wife is a failed influencer because she got paralyzed in a drunk driving accident.

A lot of travel is subsidized, fuel for cars, cars themselves and roads. So you can subsidize trains or metros as well.

Car taxes subsidize every other form of transport. That's how cheap and ubiquitous they really are once they stop taking the money out of the cookie jar. Asphalt roads are the cheapest form of passage that they pave dirt roads because its cheaper than sending equipment to repair them every year.

At the one hand trains are cool. They're big and efficient. They're more comfortable than buses and are pretty fast. Lovely to just sit in one and read a book, while the train gets you to your destination. If you care about electrification, you can run lines over them. No need for massive batteries. A good train connection replaced air travel from north to south in Italy. The flight simply wasn't feasible any more once the train was in place.

They aren't cool, they are romantic. An idolized vision of a time and place long since passed. Its why Europe loves them. Trains are just really expensive busses that can't do anything a bus can do, like detour. They have all the downsides of motor vehicles and airplane travel and zero upside.

Accept you're going to burn a ton of money on subsidies, it's not going to be profitable, and your benefits will be indirect (better transport for your citizens, less cars on roads

Or you can stop wasting money and do things correctly. Why is that never the answer ?

Contrary to popular perception, the Chakra was partially manned and controlled by the Soviet crew, who reportedly did not allow Indians into the missile room and into the reactor compartment despite repeated Indian requests and efforts, the soviets refused. The submarine also encountered multiple equipment failures and corrosions due to operating in the hot, humid and saline waters of the Indian Ocean. The quality of spare parts and services from the Soviet Navy was lackluster, with several batches being sent with poor quality controls, leading to a fire while docked. This incident is believed to be a reason for the termination of the contract after 3 years by India.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_K-43

Just placing this here so people know I wasn't bullshitting earlier. It was when the Soviets were trying to get India equipped with nuclear missiles. It's a little screwy to search for because the jeets are unoriginal and just name all their subs Chakra because Vishnu or some other nigger shit.

Asphalt roads need a lot of maintenance, that's why in cities they use brick roads.

zero upside.

They're resource efficient in moving shit from A to B.

do things correctly. Why is that never the answer ?

Because cars are space inefficient and cars end up benefitting from trains removing a bunch of daily commuters.

They aren't cool

okay, youre just retarded

Just say you're a European urbanite, nigga.

At least in the US, I don't think anybody has built a brick street for.normal traffic in a hundred years.

They're so slick in the winter, too.

We are talking about passenger traffic not freight.

Yeah the one good thing trains are great at, which has nothing to do with any of your arguments.

Because cars are space inefficient and cars end up benefitting from trains removing a bunch of daily commuters.

Oh look a eurocuck who hates cars can't help but showcase it. Passenger trains cause more traffic in most places because they are under utilized since everyone would prefer to use cars if they could afford to. So urbanists attempt to tax and legislate them out of existence to force people to use public transport. Its never about efficiency. Its about forcing other people to pay for their passion projects no matter the cost. Youve already admitted it.

okay, youre just retarded

Its ok your apartment isn't big enough for a model train set so you take it out on everyone.

 

[Ron Jeremy Stan Account]

Brick roads are just a relic from bygone eras of colonial America that still remain there to preserve history. TriBeCa, DUMBO, and Seaport in New York City have them still intact because they're part of the historical aesthetic charm, but they're a real pain in the ass to drive a car on and they get slippery as hell when it rains or snows.

Ever trued to plug something in at a airport? That's the only time I've had a socket that was a blown out whore.

And hotels. Gives me issues sometimes when I'm over there. I don't particularly care about all this outlet and plug spergery, but I do like the stability of the eurocuck CEE 7.

I know Euro and Canada cucks aren't allowed to do more than plug in a cord without a license, but changing outlets is less than a few dollars and a couple minutes of your time.

Dunno, pretty sure we're allowed to do that. Yeah, it's not more than a few bucks and minutes, but it'd still annoy me if I had to do that regularly just because the outlet wears out. I've only done it when the outlet broke.

Anyway, recently discovered this guy, had some interesting videos. The one on that fancy microwave from the 80s or 90s with all the bells and whistles drew me in, and that vintage toaster one. The polisperging was a bit off-putting, but kinda expected. Green tech has a somewhat religious effect on people, it makes em zealous.

 

[Punished Wankula]

I don't think i'd call every ten or twenty years (depending on usage) "on the regular" but i know i'd call a loose outlet "broken".
You don't wait until something falls apart on the inside to replace it, that's the behavior of a nigger who rents out a crackhouse.

Yeah I meant when the outlet is actually cracked or something since they don't really get loose here.

Alec will be doing a Livestream this weekend on Saturday (March 7th) at 1p Central.

Probably safe to assume he'll be doing plenty of virtue signaling and self-congratulating about his success regarding his anti-facism rants. He definitely wont be talking about the fact that more Americans have been killed in Chicago this week than the operation in Iran.

Do we get to watch him (officially) become a lolcow in realtime? Find out in two days.
