Or you know, women have been oppressed so much that they are denied carry licenses more than men, or perhaps dont even seek them as often as men.

Your logic, if you can call it that, is that guns arent effective at protecting women, proven by the fact that fewer women have guns... the wha... that makes no sense on any level.

> How high would it have to be? 100km to "space", but what application does a 100km space elevator have?

130 miles to be at the lower end of LEO and service the ISS.

1.2k miles to be at the top of LEO and service all things in LEO..

I'd say that since it facilitates easily bringing fuel to space putting it at the lower end is fine since now there is enough fuel for them to get to a higher orbit anyway.

> I found something saying that 10 miles is the max mountain height, but I think that was taking into account how fast mountain growth processes are vs. erosion, so I don't think it applies to this project: we can probably go quite a bit higher.

Yea its hard to say how this might translate over to a man made structure though, thats the problem.

> I agree it seems like if you go wide enough the rocks can probably support 100km without basically liquefying and squishing outward? I think? But I think the crust will deform a ridiculous amount, so be sure to take that into account. :)

Yea it is both these effects im not sure about... I know if you dig even 1 mile down the pressures are so high that the walls of your tunney will slowly move like a liquid and close in unless you reinforce them... go too much deeper and even reinforcement doesnt work.

The depest we ever dug was 7.6 miles.. but im not sure if the limiting factor has any relationship to this...

Why is it when people troll you about a mature discussion they always get bored when they have to deal with actual facts and have an honest conversation...

Like just admit your argument was invalid and you dont care.. save us all the time.

@freemo Bored now. Bye bye.

@BenAveling

Bye, feel free to reach out anytime... but please, next time, try to discuss in good faith rather than just wasting everyones time in trying to have a good faith conversation where your only intent is to troll... it does no good when it comes to progress and we just dont need that kind of toxicity in an already hostile world.

@DrewKadel

Actually if he is found guilty before he wins I am pretty sure he would have to serve his sentance... not too sure.. I mean maybe he can pardon himself? I know they cant try a president, but not sure that is the same as saying one who was found guilty before being elected cant be put in prison... i dunno

@Teri_Kanefield

@robryk Keep in mind 1.2K is generous and puts you at the upper limit of LEO... if we want something more doable the lower limit of LEO is like 150 miles or so up, which would get you past the ISS.

@robryk

As I said in my post the height would be "outer space"... basically high enough that something slightly above it can maintain an orbit with low enough drag it is sustainable... basically the lower bounds of an LEO.

So LEO is ~1.2K miles

For relevance the GEO point is 22.2K miles... this is the height something needs to exceed and be fixed to earth in order to fell a force opposite to gravity at any point in its structure... The part beyond 22.2K would be pull out away from earth, and the part below pulled into earth. Since we only are discussing something of a height of about 1.2K then all of the stresses, as far as I know, should be compressive.

@Teri_Kanefield

While delaying may not be moral, it is actually a move that is strategically sound... he delays long enough to win the election he can no longer be persued in court until his presidency is over. So yea it makes a lot of sense wrt his best interests.

@TruthSandwich

what you just said "yes jeff, thank you for simplifying that for me" :)

You're welcome.

@wardrup well if your running off a properly maintained DB with backups and all that shouldnt be an issue, and it should rarely if ever corrupt I would think...

But yea one reason using a service that can download from LoTW is largely because i want to feel my logs are secure even if i loose everything .

@TruthSandwich

Why not reduce it to what they really mean "Everyone who disagrees with me is the same and wrong, my idea is the only unique one and im brilliant cause i finally solved the worlds problems but no one will listen to me because they refuse to accept the earth is flat!"

@Raccoon ahh yea, i mean, someone is likely paying ... but yea its also probably remarkably cheap despite the firepower.

@wardrup

This right now is actually my top choice... I wanted TLF as i wanted a CLI tool... but as far as I can tell TLF cant **download** from any service only upload... so im likely to to go with cloud log.

I bought a 1 month subscription to test it and see if I like it enough to commit... if I do I will likely put in the effort to dockerize it and host it.

@Raccoon Very possibly very little... bot nets tend to be trojened computers... someone released a virus once and are using zombie computers... the virus spreads so costs no money to maintain.

Only way it costs money is if someone is paying to "rent" it, which is likely the case... but even then considering its illegal bandwidth with no material costs it is likely a lot cheaper than you think.

@Baley

Plot twist: the other 50% of the day is you putting objects up their other holes :)

In all seriousness though nurses and to a lesser extent doctors (depends on the doctor) are the real heroes!

@ndz been trying that,, seems a bit clunky and not really a huge fan.. feels lacking and just archaic UI... Right now im considering CloudLog and/or tlf maybe.

@Clementulus When workers exercise their right to strike, does the employer have the right and option to fire them and hire new employees, and second question, if not can they hire scabs as temporary workers to replace them?

I understand your other points.. but this is relevant for me to form an opinion. Obviously forcing striking workers to go back to work seems a violation of rights.. but then again if the company is not legally allowed to fire them or hire scabs thent hat is a violation of the rights of the company too... so i need this information to reconcile if i think such an action might be motivated, no matter how reasonable the ask... i mean you cant force the company to accept the terms ethically either, so yea...

@realcaseyrollins Think a space elevator would be bad for society or something? Or is there a joke int here that went over my head?
