I am not implying that less guns means less violence, since "correlation does not imply causation". I am merely pointing to you that if you wanna cherry-pick your correlations (which mean nothing), I'll cherry-pick mines.

No, we do not: "correlation does not imply causation" And to top it: there is a strong correlation of fewer guns and less violence (Europe vs USA)

Obviously you have no study to backup your claim that carrying arms is helping in these kind of problems, since there are no studies where the absolute only differing variable is the presence of guns.

GDP measured in an inflationary currency? I can also write big numbers; here you have one: 123456789. Not very impressive, is it? Mining output of a real world, scarce, extremely wanted commodity? Impressive!

The lunar orbit is inclined to Earth's ecliptic plane by 5.1°. That is enough to throw the shadow of the Moon outside the Earth most of the time (expect in cases of solar eclipses, which are rare)

So, the Moon orbiting plane is close to the ecliptic, and the satellite is in the ecliptic (L1 is in the ecliptic). I do not get this: > About twice a year the camera will capture the moon and Earth together as the orbit of DSCOVR crosse

Interesting, thanks. I understand that the satellite needs to have some form of propulsion to keep it at L1 (it is unstable), so it must have a limited life. How long?

Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which is interesting. How long will this last? How long has this been going on? Does this happen to all satellites in all planets? Another question: is the Moon orbiting plane aligned with the Earth rotation

So I guess we are in the same camp here: the Greeks need to implement some reforms, and the financial markets need to take a hit. The exact details need to be worked out. As far as I know, the Troika has been refusing to accept a haircut on
