The explanation don't explain why AE must be a diameter of the circle. What makes that obvious?

Launching from Norway over the ocean means launching due north or slightly west (the spaceport website says 90 to 110° inclination). West is the "wrong" way for fuel efficiency (probably not so important at these high inclination). These polar orbit are more useful for low earth orbit (earth observation mainly), a satellite can change its inclination but that's more fuel and less useful payload mass. With inclination change, the site could be used to launch constellations.

Big communication satellite need to launch at lower inclination (closer to the equator and due east).

So it makes sense only for some use case, but it's great to see redundancies. And if it works well, maybe some day they could get a pas in french Guyana.

No idea if it's remotely similar but it made immediately think about this: https://www.gog.com/en/game/pharaoh_cleopatra

That's a good game.

One of the main developers presented this project at FOSDEM.

(He is a Mozilla employee but made a point to tell it was not affiliated with Mozilla and was working on it on his spare time)

  1. Not sure about with graphics, but I have 5700x3d (upgraded from3600 on a520 board nad I'm happy with it) it needs a cooler though
  2. don't know but not sure why you would want integrated graphics since you have a decent dedicated GPU
  3. I think it's going to be fine
  4. No it's not possible but it looks like your motherboard has 3 sata ports.

Of course this was not about to end racism, but building safe space to not trigger the racists is encouraging them.

Used one for a few years and I loved it:

  • it's precise, you can really aim small UI elements
  • It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
  • It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don't move

But, there's no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.

The cycle is reinforced by people giving the name of their grand parents to their kids.

The problem is that the video card is heavier than what the monitor weighted back in the day.
