Their personal comms would be illegal to interfere with, and take place on private channels yes.
But they have public comms on the station that operate 24/7 that are legal to communicate with and are on HAM radio bands.. Talking to the ISS is something quite a few hams do every time it is overhead.
The ISS is perfectly legal with a license, which I have used to contact them.
You also do not need high power at all, you can do it with fairly low power.
@lupyuen macos doesnt even have a standard interface for their "find" command... how do they expect stuff to work!
@freemo how typical. no one cares until you work up a stink.
@thor This change to the sign might actually convince me to want to go!
@louisrcouture I suspect you heard the **fake** news about the 8 billion? It wasnt real.
@lxo Sounds like we mostly agree then :) I too have noticed that "super power"
As a native american thank you.
You are the one who made the argument, I was using it as an axiom.. you asserted:
> But the root cause of hatred is religion
I was disproving that it was the root cause of hatred by showing examples of hatred where religion is not involved as a cause, and therefore is not the **root** cause of all hatred.
Seems you were trying to say something other than what you said.

Hi, wanted to let you know I implemented AP on my static site, I incorperated some of your code.
In fact, I fixed quite a few huge bugs (your code actually didnt work-as-is), as well as added quite a few new features and reworked how you did a few things. But despite that you were a HUGE help so thank you.
I am contacting you in case you wished to backport my fixes (though you would have to adopt my license) to your site.. If you have issues with the license let me know and I can make an exception for you of course.
You can see my static site using the code here: https://flear.org and you can follow the account associated with it here: @flear
Let me know if I can help with anything. I have added you to the list of people who contributed code in the source to ensure you get appropriate credit.
@lxo agreed
Most know that ants dig in the dirt, or maybe they live in a decaying log. But ant nest diversity is vast.
Some ants make "carton" a paper-like substance used to construct nests in trees. Other ants use the silk of their larvae to bind leaves together for a green living next. Some ground-nesting ants build flood levies in concentric circles to protect the entrance from monsoon rains. And of course, there are the wood ants who make massive mounds of pine needles.
Ants made all of these!
Any amount of inequality is ok, so long as those with no many remain with a good quality of life and so long as there is equal oppertunity (not outcome) to move along the income spectrum... **if** those two things are met then even income inequality in the most extreme is ok.
As to your point "money makes them so powerful as to treaten democracy itself"... that is a problem with democracy, not money. Yes it should be fixed, by ensuring democracy cant be bought, not by taking away peoples money.
I've been working on it actively and its making a lot of progress. Should have a version with good documentation and easy to implement up real soon.
@generationX You will have to explain how you feel i am confusing those two in my conclusion, because I dont see it.
And **you** may not know many of them that are hateful, but that is your biases at work, not reality. There is no shortage of hateful atheists.
Political parties seem to be doing a wonderful job at controlling atheists in almost the same ways (functionally speaking) as religion. At least in the USA, the parties havent quite gotten that bad in other countries (though they too have their own things that are used to take advantage)
If you think the root cause of all hatred is religion then yea, I dont think your going to be able to approach this discussing in a objective way obviously.
I mean it doesnt add up, if that were true we wouldnt have so many hateful atheists, in fact atheists wouldnt demonstrate hate at all. But they do.
History shows religion as a mixed bag. Sometimes, reinforces conflicts, sometimes, deflate them and even unify peoples.
Wars are always about economy: land, resources, workforce, political power...
Politicians have used religion as any of the other tools they have to lead/fool people: nations, revenge, fear, ancient grievances, false fatherhoods...
