@dgar I'm glad we don't have the same issue with "bread," otherwise my visits to the bakery could get awkward.

@sundogplanets @mist @BobLefridge that makes too much sense! You've banished my fear/excitement that we'd discovered proof of a benevolent extraterrestrial matrix that was degrading the junk sats' orbits. Fine, I'll accept the cold hard blanket of reason 😄

@mist Great question! As I understand it, the light would be coming from reflected sunlight, not an onboard light source. If that's the case, I would expect any periodic darkness to result from a rotation that prevents reflection on a regular cycle; however, wouldn't these satellites need to be locked from rotating in order to function?

The always-welcome reminder that when we give up our attention, we're giving up the entirety of our self—our life—in that moment, thus framing it as a "life economy," is one of many worthy moments in this recent Struthless video. Not just a screed of doomer observations, it includes a suggested solution that appeals to the nascent punk in me.
