Science mapped out our solar system and developed base12 to account for rotation and orbit.

What I haven't found is an accounting of our solar system's patterns in our galaxy.

We know about axial precession but we don't know the official cause and some suspect it's related to a pull from another galaxy or a swayish wobble from our solar system's rotation in the galaxy.

Same for a supposed magnetic flip in the earths core. They might be related but we seemingly only know of the precession measured as 1 degree per 72 years but the magnetic north pole doesn't align with any noted patterns nor cause.

Not just fixed but most engineers design with UL standards so while they advertise maximum output they're all most efficient somewhere around 80% their maximum.

The batteries help the grid because they can maintain a minimum demand the power plants need and compensate for any excess demand that would tax the grid infrastructure.

I've never tested a generator, are they all producing pure sine waves?

The biggest benefit Amazon has vs starlink is their hosting is considered the standard and because of that they already have a connection to every other network.

So any latency Sat incurs, Amazon will likely have the closest path to the destination and be the most preferred wisp

Why dns is a topic eludes me because they all forward to root hint servers.

Why doesn't everyone just use their IANA resolvers?

You made it further than most. At least you're realizing our identity is formed off what we know, the more we know the fewer options we have.

The expansion of knowledge is what ends societies and erodes civilization but produces religion.

Perspective of the religions is that I is the devil, the unaffiliated individual's perspective as opposed to we. All the religions teach fasting is abstaining from I want and pursuing we need.

We drive ourselves to the truth of what matters by eliminating waste as much as possible for 6 weeks

I noticed nokia pop up in telecom infrastructure around the same time I noticed nokia phone users using something else.

My guess is they didn't realize what telecom was preparing for and decided a foothold in that industry was an investment in telephone future.

What's to stop ownership from getting AI to pretend to be human and replace HR then everybody?

All it would need to do is object to any in person hearing

Funny aspect is law is building demand for more capable ISP equipment devoid of principles.

Anybody can change their DNS and for an ISP to perform a man in the middle on all dns they would need to inspect every packet. Impossible

The Fourth freedom proves we've known but the pyramids also told us what never changes.

Knowing the truth is how we get free but of what?

Some of us ask to be in order, we use getting free as a launching point to "join the cast, embody principles and accept this place not ourselves.

Some ask to accept themselves and only grow old but never mature.

Insurance goes up. Who knows how much liability they need to cover transportation. They likely deal with claims of being kidnapped or held hostage by driver on a regular basis.

Jesus and Mohammed supposedly did this for 40 days. They figured it was where an outcast should die.

They got sent back. The "Celestial Mechanics" art was a similar era but instead of a new religion, that era was a Renaissance.

We're at a similar point in history where an industrial revolution quietly changed a way of life between living generations

Unprofessional or irresponsible are more applicable.

Some define a standard others set it. This came up when my employer was applying for business continuity insurance

Most never dealt with procurement to realize choosing an operating system for an organization requires everyone agreeing to use vendors that support the os.

I'm surprised libraries haven't taken a similar route to universities and store local data and backups for neighboring libraries.

Libraries were the archives for newspapers and local public information.

They use to call it rounded shoulders then labeled it as upper cross syndrome.

Our back should be subconsciously contracted. That's the opposite of how we develop and takes effort to develop and more to correct.
