Here's the solution to your water issue:

California just needs to take Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona with them.

Yeah, impacts might throw debris into more steeply elliptical orbits but unless another impact at apogee gives the debris more momentum then the average level of the orbit would remain the same.

Any low-orbit kessler syndrome should be self-limiting for these reasons, without regular boosting Starlink sats will de-orbit in less than 5 years and that number drops precipitously when the sats are broken up into fragments with higher surface area to weight ratios.

"Nuff said"

I was maybe 14 before I figured out that "Nuff" is a shortened form of "Enough" rather than someone's name. XD

Bittorrent is best for static data, building it into a p2p social media protocol would be pretty hacky and would scale poorly unless it was only used for sharing media content.

What you're looking for is a friend-2-friend network with onion routing, that way you only connect directly to people you trust and messages for others get passed along to the recipient through the f2f network.

Such things already exist, but I can't get anyone to try out Retroshare ( http://retroshare.cc/ ) with me because it isn't modern, polished, effortless, and mobile like corporate media.

It's not "less traceable", bitcoin is a public ledger, literally every transaction is documented on the blockchain for anyone and the IRS to see.

Site reliability engineer here, your application is both alive and dead until the monitoring server pings its health status API.

Eh, I haven't seen a set of neopronouns that seems like it'd start catching on with non-queer folks. Singular "they" is still controversial among prescriptivists and it's over 500 years old at this point.

I wish there were decent neopronouns for enbys.
