  • Ehh, that depends greatly on the computer architecture they’re running on. Modern silicon hardware is very succeptible (over the long term) to ionizing radiation like what is found in space.

    ehhhh… dude. there’s shittons of radiation shielding out there. any relatively small chunk of nickel iron. or if you don’t mind dealing with larger volumes, water or ice both work fine. plenty of rocks and comets in the oort as they say :D nice thing about that tho is you can split the water for LOX/LH using sunlight derived electricity, now you have rocket fuel.







  • If you’re suggesting a less convenient method of doing something, it makes sense to request a reason. In this case I have to agree with the kids.

    reasons and shit: Today’s generation - fortunately in many ways - hasn’t developed the skills needed to look something up. While you can mirror wikipedia and we generally always have access mostly - it’s still a valuable skill. ESPECIALLY now that AI is crufting up search results rapidly.

    Now, if you’re visiting a dedicated dictionary site, well then you just have to deal with ads and cruft. None of that in Websters dead tree edition.

    Do these always justify a trip to the bookshelf? Nah. But it is a useful thing to do a few times a month so they have experience seeking sources of information that aren’t digital.
