Here is a plot of the average altitude for the past year. Because the ISS’s orbit is so close to earth it is always losing altitude due to air drag and it is frequently being raised back up using the rockets attached to it.
The original post was from December 2024. It would be hard to notice a change in the rate by looking at this plot and if the rate of descent had changed, it could have easily started more than a year ago.
Edit: This post shows that at different times the ISS’s rate of descent ranged from 0.2km/month to 12km/month. This all using data prior to 2021. So the ISS is well equiped to handle the 5km/month OOP mentioned.
You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/
They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.
I didn’t even know it was a book. Yeah I loved every second of the nostalgia bait.
My partner and I have not been very strategic about how we approach our carbon footprint. We hope to be and having more information is a critical piece.
Thanks for the link. And yeah the world will fail to control climate change if all levels of humanity don’t get on board. As an average person I have little influence at high levels of government and corporations. They seem pretty excited to give up on their 2030 goals, so while I try to drive them to keeping theirs goals, I might as well push harder on my own goals.
Well that would almost certainly be competitive with a car over the same drive … But not remotely competitive with a plane. But I can’t imagine trains ever will be competitive with planes, even over 100 miles, if you don’t factor in emissions.
Really cool artwork!
We just watched it! Thanks for the recommendation it was great!
I don’t think this would work if the middle diety says ‘truth’.
If the other two answer ‘wisdom’, you would know that the middle is Truth but you wouldn’t know the other two.
If you add the rule that the deities are guaranteed to give different answers.
Then if the other two answer ‘lie’ and ‘wisdom’, then the middle one could either be Lie or Truth.
I would like someone to prove me wrong, I’m not great at these types of riddles.
I got part of the way https://lemmy.world/comment/14941676
I can’t think of a mathematical way to constrain x to be positive integers and constrain y to be any integer 0 to 99 divided by 100. Using a graph was a good idea
I wasn’t too far off, I dropped a minus sign somewhere.
If x is the dollar amount written on the check and y is the cents amount.
The original check amount was: x+y
The amount that teller handed the lady was: 100y+x/100
The amount the lady found in her bag was: 100y + x/100 - 0.05
We know the lady found twice the amount of the original check: 2(x+y) = 100y + x/100 - 0.05
They want you to solve for the original check amount x+y
.
I messed up my algebra somewhere because I got: x=(5+9800y)/199
which if you set y = 0.63 you get x = 31.05 so I’m off somewhere.
I’ll be the first to admit that the Whitehouse’s text is written persuasively, but from what I found the ICC hasn’t claimed jurisdiction over Israel or the US despite the Whitehouse’s claims.
The Panel agrees with the Prosecutor’s assessment that the ICC has jurisdiction in relation to crimes committed on the territory of Palestine, including Gaza, since 13 June 2014, under article 12(2)(a) of the ICC Statute.3 It also agrees that the Court has jurisdiction over crimes committed by Palestinian nationals inside or outside Palestinian territory under article 12(2)(b) of the Statute. The ICC therefore has jurisdiction over Israeli, Palestinian or other nationals who committed crimes in Gaza or the West Bank. It also has jurisdiction over Palestinian nationals who committed crimes on the territory of Israel, even though Israel is not an ICC State Party.

I had no idea California was getting high speed rail. Here is a map: https://hsr.ca.gov/high-speed-rail-in-california/overview/#system-map
Was noon on a Wednesday really a good idea? I guess you may not get a lot of people to travel anyway so you might as well try for the people that work locally?
Great writing!

Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.
Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.
