  • Haha, there’s usually some pent up winter blues, so there’s no issues there. I’ve got almost 6 weeks I can work outside before I can plant veggies, but priorities frost, heat and critter protection was low on the list. After that, my dog passed and we decided to change the plan for under the deck and make it a dog run, so that became the priority and by the time that was done my hands were too sore to and I’ve got a puppy to bond and train anyways.

    The frost protection should allow me to take advantage of that 6 weeks outside though, and I’m also planning on a greenhouse and/or a cold frame for next year. Christmas gifts maybe :D


  • 100% was my intention, I’ve got the 3/4 pvc and the fittings, my health just got in the way. I can’t get my steroid shots for my carpal tunnel for another 2-3 weeks.

    But yeah, I was gonna run some PVC up about 3-4 feet and make sections that could be propped up to work in. I could put poly in for frost, and some mesh for bugs critters as well.

    It’s also just some carrots left other than the struggling tomatoes and other plants, so not entirely sure it would be worth the effort now. If I did it earlier in the year to help with the late frost and get swings, totally another story.

    So I’m super looking forward to what I can do next year hopefully, but depending on when my surgery is, that could throw a wrench anyways.

    The vlbi has dozens of 20m dishes, they have satellites with 10m diameters and Orion is thought to have 100m diameter. We’ve launched larger into space already, and the VLBI has used space telescopes to increase its size already as well.

    So to claim we can’t sensibly launch any, when we have them up there already is plain wrong.

    What? The bands already have a range, they don’t stay static on a single frequency in that band because of overloading, but if it needs to be done for periods of a time, there’s no issue with that. The band already cycles, what regulatory “machines” are involved? Stay at the top end, and then the bottom end for a bit. Put the cycle on a schedule instead of having all active at once.

    And no they wouldn’t lose internet, there’s multiple bands and frequencies for that exact reason. If ones congested, it shifts to another less congested and cycles that way.

    Using the light and laser example shift the red light to orange and get some data, shift it to yellow and get the other. You can also shift the laser a little to get get more data on either side of that.

    Light, like radio has fluctuations you can take advantage of to read between the lines.


  • They could just shift the frequency up and down so they can get data in those ranges. There’s advantages to them being linked together and being able to communicate with them. They could probably also Shut down those bands completely temporarily so some science can get done.

    I get this is a HUGE issue, but this also isn’t this massive non accountable issue to get some science done. Just makes it harder, these embellished headlines don’t help stuff.

    Your point? You said it wasn’t feasible to do this in space, yet they already are and have larger sizes than on earth…. Also they’ve been doing this for decades and already decommissioned stuff and you claimed it was never done…? The hell…?

    Your own earth based one you linked has even buddied with them as you so nicely quoted… so which is it? It’s not possible? Never been done? And you were making fun of MY comment? Lmfao.

    No, it isn’t. The radio astronomy done in space is for Gamma rays, x-rays, UV and IR. Things the atmosphere blocks.

    yes they do [and another]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HALCA And another, want a couple more…?

    What’s done on the ground is for much larger wavelengths (+1m) which, again, requires massive equipment that is currently is not feasible to sen

    Than why is there already equipment up there doing that?

    You don’t need large dishes, you use multiple in array like the ground based ones you linked….

    Huh and would you look at that, the space based one is apparantly 4x the diameter of the largest one in your link on earth. How is that possible if it’s not “feasible” to launch stuff that large like you claimed…? They’ve launched larger apparently already?

    Huh, the same is done in space, you realize that… yeah?

    My comment isn’t disjointed and it’s extremely easy to comprehend, put this shit in space like they always should have been doing and avoid the natural interference, as well as the other interference from the thousands of other satellites, starlink isn’t the only issue and it’s not fixed by getting rid of them…
