Wasn’t Chevron 9 used for the Destiny? IIRC it was because Destiny was moving, so they needed a velocity coordinate.

Chevron 6… Encoded

Got a source?

You might be right. I am also not a lawyer, and I’m also in the US. I assumed that they would arrest since Walmart is technically provate property, L&P might have had her legally removed for trespassing? I don’t know, who knows. It might also just be that the police were just listening to the orders of their corporate overlords 🤷

I’m guessing that the L&P staff are acting as legal proxies, and therefore can press charges

What do you mean “tab completion is AI based”? We have had tab completion for years before LLMs were a thing.

I don’t wanna be the “well the book said…” Asshole, but it is one of my favorite books. So…

Well the book said that they actually have a dedicated (well a few, redundancy, you know?) Astrophage powered DC generators. They turn miniscule amounts of astrophage into electric power for the ship to run its systems. There’s also battery backups.

Minor spoiler for something that had more detail in the book, but also happened in the movie (towards the end, with an explosion).

The spin drives also don’t generate electricity for thrust, so there isn’t really any way to “siphon” it off.

However I am inclined to believe your train of thought, if nothing else maybe they just didn’t have a way to use the DC generator while fuel wasn’t flowing for the engines (although that seems like a design flaw, but the ship was definitely rushed)

Good point on the radiators vs astrophage. Gotta say I didn’t think about what would need to be radiated.

Thanks for the pictures, definitely nice to visualize it! I will continue to think that they’re radiators as that makes more sense, and it was just a goof that they were rotated the wrong way. Makes me less angry than there being solar panels on an astrophage powered ship. Unless it is there as a backup method?

Hmmm, maybe. But same question. Astrophage can sink a ton of heat energy, so you theoretically wouldn’t need radiators. Granted, it would only let you cool things down to 98°C (or so, can’t remember the exact temp) which isn’t exactly cool. But still.

However I’m gonna stick with your interpretation, since I like that better.

Yeah, the centrifuge is really my biggest issue with the movie.

And then fact that the ship has solar panels.

Other than those two minor nitpicks, it’s a fantastic movie. PHM is one of my favorite books, so I wat pretty happy with the movie overall.

Great explaination, thanks a lot!

Can I get an ELI5? My understanding is that easements are the fees that customers (either individual or community) pay to get the equipment/infra run to their property for service.

Are you saying that customers wouldn’t have paid those easements if it was the normal telecom company doing it, as opposed to Google? If so, what are the “damages” in this case? I’m not understanding for what you could sue.

I have been using my Garmin Fenix 7x for over a year with GadgetBridge. 10/10 recommend it

So the cum tree has good wood? Neat

My bad. I throught doing that with the page for X CD worked. Could have sworn I’ve done that before

So dumb…

Watching Shoresy now, after finishing Letterkenny. Loving it

I don’t know if these would do the trick, but could be worth a shot? https://github.com/fwfa123/linuxtrackx-ir

I’ve never heard of TrackIR before now.

Yes, I use GB instead of Garmin Connect. I have been doing it for the last year (started Feb 2025). I have a Fenix 7X. It has been pretty great overall. GB shows a lot of information, and does everything I want, and nothing I don’t… They recently added Health Connect functionality, which is really cool.

The only issue I’ve had was for a couple months I was having issues with my watch getting into a really bad state and needing a factory reset. It would reboot and then get stuck at “processing FIT files” (is something). I disabled auto syncing, since I theorized that maybe sometimes the sync would get interrupted or something, and Garmin firmware might freak out about it. Now I just occasionally manually sync, generally while sitting at my desk.

Besides that issue, I’ve loved GB. I finally donated last week, since I’ve gotten so much value from GB and they’re doing such good work.
