Not joking I thought it was supposed to be ET: The Extra-Terrestrial...
I didn't see the phone for a few seconds.

> we will have no effective way of shutting off the rain of Starlink satellites

To this point, if we wanted to stop the 'starlink rain': The satellites have small ion engines that are used to enter and maintain the correct low earth orbit. Depending on available fuel, it may be possible to raise them into a significantly higher orbit. (This might end their usefulness as Starlink). At a high enough orbit, objects take decades or longer to return.

Maybe someone knows the typical delta-V these things have and how much is needed to raise an object to a typical 'graveyard orbit'.

Yes, and because this is the least-effective (amount stolen) and most-risky way to steal money from a bank, it doesn't severely impact the banks themselves.

I'm skeptical about your point #2 that the news media has a social conscience, but, maybe.... :)

Interesting, thanks!

Despite best efforts, their system failed to protect 7 from being arrested, out of the many more who do this that we don't know about.

Hmm, he's more than just accused, he resigned a previous job in the midst of such allegations according to this article (Which I admit could be trash as 99% of articles are trash)

Warhammer 40K lego?

Depends, if it is one guy holding something in his hand then yes.

If they are actually afraid of being harmed, they need to wait for about 1,000-2,000 cops to gather around outside it.

In other news, police have forcibly detained 4 emergency responders attempting to evacuate survivors and 3 engineers attempting to survey the damage.

Officers opened fire when the sinkhole didn't respond to their commands.

I am sure Pat Robertson would agree this is a sign of God's judgement. Or at the very least, an area where he has removed his 'hand of protection'.

"See, I knew 7-11 is for people who are involved in bad stuff, tell me more" <clicks article>

I agree and I think this should continue to be pointed out.

It's funny there are some people on reddit who would admonish you for Not expecting 99% of headlines to be pure uncut clickbait.

I don't get how this is a story other than 'Man gets jail for joining Capitol riot'

I guess the headline hook here is for people who have strong feelings about Tinder? Not the clickbait designers' best work.

Doctor r/JoeRogan MD would draw some very interesting conclusions from this 'research'!

Fascinating and r/oddlyterrifying explanation, thanks for this.
