Cake day: August 6th, 2023

  • I grew up on a farm, any programmer that thinks farming or ranching is better is gonna have a rude awakening as to why there are very few farmers anymore.

    So no not every computer guy dreams of the farm, repairing 10miles of fence every April for the entire month all day every day isn’t what I would consider an improvement over programming. And that’s the easy part wait till you gotta help an animal struggling to give birth.

    I get programmers have this idea that farming or ranching is more pure somehow but it is murder on your body and soul in ways you wont understand. programming and computer stuff is a cakewalk in comparison. more politics but learn to play the game of thrones and its not too bad.

    Not without an inappropriate amount of delta v, it takes effort to hit the sun from the earth. Iirc it’s less energy to yeet yourself out of the solar system from earth than to hit the sun. Direct be even crazier amounts of energy to cancel out our orbital velocity. Iirc it would be easier to do a Jupiter transfer to save on delta v, going direct though is clown town energy waste unless you have some dying need to get there faster for some reason. But you’ll pay for it, a lot, least until we get warp drives or something neato exotic. https://issfd.org/ISSFD_2014/ISSFD24_Paper_S6-5_jehn.pdf If you’re willing to trade time there are less costly ways to “hit” a 700 000 km radius target energy wise.
