As much as I don't like him, he was supposedly donating starlink equipment to help with connectivity in the area. I'm sure it comes with a host of caveats and gotchas but it's something at least

Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on... At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with

I had one years ago... It never made a sound. It just recorded how I drove and I started getting safe driver discounts on my insurance.

IIRC, this is a big deal because they are achieving more energy out than they put in.

If I've been reading these correctly they are achieving it with tiny amounts of fuel and slowly working up as they achieve success. I'm seeing these as proof of concept and fantastic steps in the right direction.

Except they still believe that one... They even know what color it is.

It's blue, apparently, and you can protect your home from it by painting your roof blue... Doesn't matter what shade of blue, just so long as it is blue.

True to form... Someone began advertising their blue paint as protection from the laser.

It looks like it is assuming paying for a mortgage and allowing like 20% for savings. They are definitely not looking at just a living wage, they are assuming home buyers that are actively saving money.
