Geosynchronous means the orbital period is a day and relatively circular. Satellites with these orbits basically look down at the same part of the Earth.
Lagrange points are locations along an orbit where gravitational forces balance out with the centrifugal force of the orbit. This does allow less fuel expenditure to maintain.
For the Earth-Sun or Earth-Moon systems, the Lagrange points do not occur at the altitude of the geosynchronous orbit. The Lagrange points are either significantly further away or at a different orbital phase.

Yeah California redwoods are kind of all over Northern California, they’re commonish in backyards. Giant Sequoias on the other hand you’ll basically only see in a park.

I mean… the Bay Area has transit at least, but I don’t think you can call it good compared to places with actual transit.
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 4 weeks ago:
I see, at this point there were already large tenant and share croppers (former slave owning plantations) who did not reap the supposed shared benefits of the AAA.

Seems like the text description strips some markdown. It says the “bold” is in bold font but it’s not.

Maybe non-animal is better than just plant, since mushrooms are part of plant based diets.

A PhD in engineering oriented industries will not get you more money unless you hit the jackpot (did some early LLM stuff for example).
You just gotta love the research.

We go to boba tea shops several times a week. I just order them without boba. It’s just a smooth tasty drink.

You could use a Sekiro shield: youtu.be/OCq8adZdKP4 It’d be rigid but… probably quite heavy.

I just realized the saying is “Do the carpets match the drapes” but in my head I was thinking “Do the curtains match the drapes”. Even though curtains and drapes are similar. Brain fart.

Should they match the drapes?

This does happen and it’s an effective way to decrease the temperature:
Might be difficult to implement at scale though.

How do you know SiC batteries last and don’t have any long term issues that aren’t expected?

Does this mean the British are a subset of ants?

At least anecdotally, I’ve seen it happen multiple times. There’s this subset in the dating pool who want to give meeting with other women a try.

I believe most artists will do this for enough money, but I’ve heard from a friend who organizes very expensive weddings, that some of the very top performers will not do private shows even for exorbitant amounts of money.

They should start with a normal citizen or a guardsman. Then being saved by a space marine. But realizing that chaos is real. And then ending with them being executed for heresy.

Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.
- Comment on What's your favorite sport to watch or play? 3 months ago:
I play and watch rock climbing. At the moment the competitions are mostly free on YouTube and happen weekly or so when the season starts up.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 3 months ago:
Note that it will warp further when you get it home since Home Depot wood is unlikely to be fully dried and the environment in your home will be different as well.
You’ll need to wait a couple of weeks to see what shape the wood settles into. If you try to build something now it might end up warping after construction.
Even if you’re working with S4S lumber you still need to let it acclimate and then finish milling it if you really need very square pieces.

JPEG also reduces color depth as it’s first step but just in a smarter way. RGB is converted into YCbCr.

- Comment on Is water an acid or a base? 4 months ago:
By that definition, it can’t be exactly 7 then either. 10^-7 is just an estimate that we’ve agreed works fine. To my knowledge we haven’t really tried to improve this accuracy either?
