Kessler syndrome is one of the things that give me that dread feelings, one of the things vast majority of people can do nothing about, yet it can derail any dreams of extra terrestial endavours before we even reach that point.

Most people probably envision selling data akin to shady person trading usb stick in dark alley or hackers selling huge batches of stolen data, so that statement will be true almost by default

> Once the accounts were finally gone, I realized just how much of a grip these platforms had on me. The number of times I reflexively typed "t" or "f" into my browser bar (which autocompletes to twitter.com or facebook.com) was honestly terrifying. Waiting for assets to build? Hit Twitter. Software update running? Quick Facebook check

How many different accounts do you have to delete though? For many of those people "t" and "f" would be substituted by "y"toube, "r"eddit, etc. It doesn't have to be a social media site, might be news you're intrested in, tech sites, deals aggregator.

I get what you mean, but for someone with habit of looking for distraction whenever they have nothing to do it won't be a cure, bandaid at best.

There was still ongoing dispute between pool and snooker players whether playing side spin on white ball affects angle of the object ball hit by the white (ignoring deflection, just the spin transfer).

In real life it depends on the tables bed, banks, cloth (different material, speed, whether it's clean or dirty, it's 'mileage', air temperature and humidity...), balls, cue and of course human factor.

It's also one of the hardest games (sports) mentally, you can sit for a few minutes or few breakes and all you can do is wait for opponent to make a mistake - or play a safe. All you can do is try to stay focused and positive, not sulking over mistake you just made that might've lost you the whole match, to not mess up a chance when it comes.

Maybe try Malazan Book of the Fallen, in terms of worldbuilding and plot/lore depth it is far ahead of any other (modern) fantasy books. Sheer scale of the world and its history might be a bit overwhelming at first, as it is not an easiest read, but often if you don't understand something it means that it will be referenced later in the book (or later in the series).

They did not remove API yet. I believe they intend to remove it sometime in December, after they complete rollout of removing dislike counter globally

> In the long run it sounds like something better that could pressure YouTube to improve their own meagre and useless comment system.

Surely Google is gonna feel pressured because of extension that will have few thousands active users at most.

If you have more tabs opened than the window fits, there is no separator between them, other than fade away.
