That moment when you look around for the most competent person, and come the sad conclusion that it's you

Meanwhile, basically every Dutch students "dates" by bike, and most of London dates via the Underground.

What even IS that?

Ehhhhhh.

Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it's extremely expensive in upkeep.

The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is "working on it", but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can't possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.

Dont forget that other favorite "No you can't have more hardware, these were fine in 2006 and they're fine now! Just delete some old stuff like you IT people always do"

It's a pretty entertaining crafting-shooter, but it's not an AMAZING one.

Some do, but they make it their main draw. The reason Kerbal Space Program is fun, is fun because you can fuck up and die in a million different ways, and not doing so is chalenging and succes is rewarding while failure is hilarious(ly frustrating).

Not fucking up and dying in Starfield means pressing the Use Healthpack frequently enough.

"Better than Hitler" is really, REALLY not a great flex

Also, in quite a few comic timelines, the hammer literally makes Thor.

Error-correction for dropped packets is also pretty shit.
