  • I think the author’s are being cautious about calling out someone’s appearance. It can be hard to determine if a plastic surgery did happen, and if it was purely cosmetic.

    Like if you look at her now, she clearly has a difference nose (more noticeable in more recent photos), but writing “Kristi had a nose job to look more like Ivanka” lands the wrong way if you can’t prove that she actually had a nose job, and that it was for that reason. Imagine how bad your ass would get sued if she actually had a cyst or melanoma on her nose, and had to have it removed and then get reconstructive surgery?





  • We are talking about Starlink here, correct? Owned by Elon

    No, we are talking about how hard of a target a satellite based network is vs a terrestrial fiber network. Starlink is being used purely as an example here, but is by no means a complete representation of all aspects of the technology.

    That said, all satellite networks are subject to dying if their ground-stations are taken offline…

    Yes, but they can route traffic between satellites and back down to working ground stations. Theoretically, one working ground station could keep the satellite network connected to the entire Internet. Hence why Starlink still works over Ukraine, and why it is such a big deal when Elon shuts it off.
