Usually when I see someone say that on here, I roll my eyes, but god damn dude...

I'd argue that premeditating something like this is a rather strong indicator of some form of mental illness.

Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. I've never successfully turned on hardware acceleration when running Windows guests, and I don't think Gnome Boxes even exposes the option.

It's got really good hardware graphics acceleration.

If 1000 satellites is all it takes to "erode the atmosphere" to a point where earth is uninhabitable, we're already fucked a thousand times over.

To add on to what everyone else is saying, compared to the Apollo capsules, Starship is fucking HUGE. Apollo 11's capsule was 10 feet tall by 13 feet in diameter. Starship is 180 feet tall not including the launch vehicle.

Edit to add: Mercury was literally just an ICBM with a dude strapped on top, with Saturn V being based on that design. We're only now beginning to make designs that are actually made just for space travel.

Apparently he's tried to get help for it in the past, but his contract with Adidas says that if he's in any kind of mental healthcare for more than two weeks, he loses all his money or some shit.

I'm not OP. I'm just chiming in with info I gained from selling TVs for several years.

Yeah, but LCDs miss out on the ability to go greyscale to save even more power in emergencies. Due to the way LCD screens work, the same trick would likely increase the amount of power draw it incurs.

The battery life and black levels are always going to be better on an OLED, no matter what you do to the LCD. There's no chance of backlight bleed on OLED screens, either.

I mean wifi tethering. Sure, I could set up Tasker to turn it on once it detects that I'm in the car, but I'd personally rather save myself the effort.

Yeah but one of the reasons to pay for Tidal is the sound quality, and bluetooth sounds objectively worse than streaming directly on the car. Also, how am I supposed to maintain a wifi connection while moving? I'm not about to tether my phone every time I get in the car.
