The research team does not believe the satellite suddenly came back to life for a moment. They suggest it is far more likely that an electrostatic charge built up on the craft and reached a certain point and then discharged. Such discharges have been seen before, the team notes. Another possibility is that the craft was struck by a micrometeoroid, releasing a very small cloud of plasma.

my mother giving me an allowance and then calling take-backsies every month because she needed it to cover the bills.

why can liberals never criticise something without misogynistic/homophobic sexual metaphor?

for fucks sake i wish i could go one day without the triggering imagery of sexual violence being repurposed for your moralistic magical thinking exercises.

seconding Parenti, as an anarchist

is this all there is? /rh

in Europe all i ever seem to meet are:

  • 'communists': chauvinistic pensioners, or uni trots selling newspapers
  • 'syndicalists': workaholic labour aristocrats and manscapers
  • 'anarchists': teenage punkers

i'm either too old or too young to hang with any of these groups, and every year i get badjacketed because i wear a mask or have a 'funny' accent. i spent most of today having my fashion sense and diction mocked by 80 year old crackkkers. [nb my keyboard is broken and typed the three k's itself. i've unlocked Maoist English autocorrect on my pc.]

all the local orgs are either clandestine anarcho-nihilists, or radlibs adopting revolutionary language but whose praxis begins and ends at petitions and performative protests.

Oh thanks for crossposting, I am still a Lemmy noob and didn’t manage to find right instances.

i hope it was okay to crosspost it here for you.

(i see a downvote already, but i don't understand how this would be unfit for the comm…)

Oh, and hope you would enjoy Focus on the Road if you want to give it a try!

of course! i played a few turns. i like to remix and mashup systems i find interesting, so mostly i've been tinkering with the core rather than playing the game. i'm thinking of converting the tables to generic scifi and sword/sorcery themes, and using it to create connections for Cepheus characters.

Cybernetics in practice

Mashable has a good three-part documentary on Cybersyn: https://slrpnk.net/post/8606593

i like this. i think for now as a workaround: one could lock the topic and leave a comment asking the OP to crosspost it elsewhere, with grace for posts which have high engagement (as ladfrombrad suggested).

i don't agree that crossposting works to 'move' posts. as far as i know: the OP is not notified when their topic is crossposted by someone else, and in that case they also won't be 'subscribed' to comment notifications.
