Personally, I'm also concerned with magnitudes of "low-level" waste, which I believe is not really burnable. Not that it would be reasonable to launch entire reactors and ancillaries.

That seems like a orbit/landing chart. Doesn't seem accurate for head-on collisions. Or am I reading it wrong? As a counter example, someone mentioned nearly leaving and then cheaply coming back directly into the sun.

Can't you use some kind of gravity assist to do the slowdown or adjust the trajectory into the sun?

I'm not sure I would do that, but I would expect them to fix their service it if it is costing them noticeably. AFAIK they did not say you shouldn't park underground nor did they explain their various failure modes and how to avoi

Couldn't the pension funds be fully funded and solvent without population growth? Assuming lower yields would mean higher contributions levels for similar benefits, or additional funding from say capital taxes, but seems plausible.

Sometimes yes, other times it might be possible in another way, but a lot of drivers are generic and don't have an exhaustive list of all devices in existence. Devices only need to be identified as a certain (generic) type.

According to the article, fires have gone down because people aren't burning grasslands and shrubs. They are still burning forests and the article doesn't say whether more or less.

Also, cutting and possibly burning, even if trees are later planted, usually destroys soil and consequently water cycles. Poor soil with bad water retention means water, even soil runoffs, floods, and consequently water shortages. Commercia

As someone using debian, ubuntu and centos - my experience is the Red Hat system has better systemd integration with less issues. Being the primary developer of important system software does have benefits.

To be fair, an sqlite DB, assuming reasonable SQL practices, has a better chance of not getting corrupted than nearly any other type of mail storage you could find. Sqlite also supports online backups from command line.
