    I used to think that was totally BS… But then we ended up with a cousin’s super stinky elderly Bassett Hound back like 20 years ago. Switched them off of I think it was Iams to something with actual quality, don’t remember but probably something like Fromm, and it immediately made a difference. Like within days.






  • Exposing? Microsoft has made it very clear for a while that your Bitlocker keys are synced to your Microsoft account.

    Hell, they even have a support page for it. Most of their support pages are nearly useless, but this one is even readable by a normal person.

    And before someone mentions the part about Microsoft Support not having access to keys (because some smart ass always does for this stuff)… Just think for a second. Of course customer support doesn’t have access to the keys. What Support can do is not a limit for legal disclosure. A legal warrant (like used here) means they’ll give any info they have in a heartbeat.






  • I wasn’t even referencing Blue Origin there, I was referencing ALL rocket launches. BO is a very tiny sliver, they hardly launch shit because all they do is a handful of tourism flights that don’t even go to orbit. Actually, BO is the worst of the bunch currently because their launches still don’t actually have a use other than tourism.

    At least SpaceX and ULA launches send satellites to orbit, resupply payloads, and crew to the ISS. Starship is working towards modern Moon and Mars missions, and while SLS is a boondogle created by legacy Space companies and Congress, at least it has a generally good goal. BO is still just making the engines ULA now uses, and futzing around with their first orbital rocket with mixed results.


  • Rocket launch emissions are visual but in reality a small portion of overall carbon, about 0.1% of all emissions. Even accounting for the difference in altitude where they are exhausted, it’s a tiny fraction.

    The fucking cows in the beef industry produce a lot more carbon emissions than every rocket launch. Approximately 12% of all carbon emissions in the world every year. You just don’t see it coming out the exhaust so you don’t think about it. It’s the reason that reducing beef consumption alone is one of the fastest ways a regular person can effect an actual real world tangible change to carbon emissions.
