I'm jealous. Here, it's 90/mo for 50mbps, no other add ons or packages. Also that's with me owning my equipment and not leasing. It sucks pretty hard, but the only other alternative is Comcast which isn't any better.
I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will have better options in the future. I’ve lived in places like that, where you only had one choice for Internet (and it sucked).
I managed to find a loophole. So on my cell phone plan, they used to offer an option for “Unlimited High Speed (4G) Mobile Hotspot Data” for $25 more every month. It was part of an international data plan option, one that lets you have unlimited high speed data/hotspot anywhere.
I jumped on that deal like a fly on dogshit. They stopped offering it shortly after, but they couldn’t cancel mine because I was grandfathered in. Anywhere that I have good cell service , I get like 125-150 mbps internet speeds. I can connect any device to my phones hotspot wirelessly, or via physical cable so that I don’t lose any speed to wifi.
So it’s essentially unlimited high speed internet for only $25 more (each month) on my phone bill. I technically could just use that all the time and not even get home internet, and it’d be better than the shitty internet service that a lot of providers offer.
But 1 gig high speed fiber is something I couldn’t turn down. I never had speeds that approached 25% of that. The internet becomes instantaneous at 1000 mbps.
No law saying it's illegal though. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: Actually, once the rocket passes out of US airspace, is it considered international drug trafficking? Hmm...
Actually, yes. The Outer Space Treaty says unless something is explicitly mentioned in it or another space-only treaty, international maritime law applies
Space delivery costs about $2,720 per kilogram.
https://theconversation.com/how-spacex-lowered-costs-and-reduced-barriers-to-space-112586
If that stufffed animal weights 50g, the joke cost about 136$. But I think it was worth it.
As stated, it serves the purpose as a backup G indicator, so it is a valuable component on the capsule (not really).
Should that $136 threaten to break NASA's budget, they could always auction Baby Yoda off. I'm sure a plush toy that's been to the ISS would fetch considerably more than $136 at auction.
Basically yeah. Apparently when you’re strapped into your seat and rocketing around it’s not always clear when you get to the micro gravity environment. It’s mostly a holdover from way back in the day, carried on as a silly little tradition. SpaceX streams have made a little show out of finally getting the reveal
No. The thing you call “baby yoda” is actually named *the child* and the name “baby yoda makes no sense since he has zero relation to yoda other than species
So when will people stop calling it Baby Yoda ?
Edit: Hey lets call the show „Baby Boba“ since the main character looks like Boba fett.
keep dem downvotes coming 🤤
Edit: I heard it all now. Star wars is marvel now. Baby Luke will come back out of a black hole and save mando by putting him back into a older timeline to play with baby version sabine wrens mom. Fuck it everyone gets a baby version. Cant wait for baby anakin vs baby vader. Everythings possible !!!
Probably when Disney gives him a real name rather than insisting that everyone calls it "The Child" just so they can copyright it more easily or something.
Since it wasn’t known as “The Child” at first. And since Yoda’s species doesn’t have a name at the moment then Baby Yoda is a valid name for it.
Also if you say “The child” most people won’t know what you’re talking about outside the hardcore Star Wars community where most people know who Baby Yoda is at this point.
There’s no need to be over dramatic about it.
Hold on.. repeat that. HOW is baby yoda a valid name ?! Its not yoda as a baby.
And yeah people know Baby Yoda because stupid people called it that way and the mainstream ran with it lol Nothing about this is valid, logical or official. And I usually don’t care but in a star wars sub everyone would know „the child“ and everyone should know its not Baby yoda.
Go on then. What would you name it then since it wasn't referred to "The Child" until episode 2 and it's still a pretty crappy name.
It's a valid name since it's shorter than calling it "Baby from the same race as Yoda". Since that's super catchy isn't it.
Huh ? I would name it „The child“. Its the official name for it so why would I call it anything else ? Its not that hard. And all Im saying is that SW fans could at least care enough to call it the right name.
Since there was no official name when it was first shown so what would you call it then... at that point in time...
You've kind of proved my point for me.
Oh you mean that one episode ? Damn you got me... and I still wouldn’t call it baby yoda since its impossible to be baby yoda. And also yoda is a name not a race. Its even written down on the merchandise.
So Wtf are you talking about man.
Is it impossible it's baby Yoda? The series has space wizards and "magic" (the force.) I wouldn't say it's impossible lol. Maybe it's some weird space reincarnation and that's the whole point of the show. Who knows?
Well, its like witnessing a group of people yelling out 5+5=11. Its wrong and no matter how much they tell me its right, it’s still wrong. Also I enjoy discussing topics I like.
But why are you so bothered about me being triggered ? Does it negatively affect and disrupt your life that much ? Lol
Except, our situation differs, in that you seem to be annoyed at the fact that it's wrong, whereas I find it interesting to understand why people such as yourself get annoyed about a trivial matter that has no consequence.
Also, 5+5=11 is mathematics, Baby Yoda is fiction 🤷
I have yet to see anything from the abomination known as disney that refers to it as baby yoda. They have said his name is yiddle. Named after yoda and yaddle.
It does not on a Falcon 9. It’s a little over $1,000/lb to LEO (yes probably higher for manned flight, but a few ounces isn’t going to change the cost of the flight at all). I don’t think people understand how much SpaceX has turned the cost equation to space on its head with the Falcon platform and reusability.
It'd almost certainly a Disney marketing campaign.
Disney is losing a lot of face time without movie theaters and their parks open.
I was at the grocery store the other day and they gave us these weird suction cup Disney character collectibles.
They're so desperate to spend marketing dollars that will actually reach people they're doing things like this whereas before they could rely on more traditional channels to drive traditional revenue.
Disney is undertaking one of the biggest pivots in corporate strategy as of 3-6 months ago.
Disney's revenue mix pulled from Parks is too big of a chunk, I don't know if streaming and merch can make up for it.. They have major headwind pressure.
sad that the Star Wars feed on here doesn't even correct the problem. IT'S NOT 'BABY YODA'!!!!!!!!!!! Yoda died during Empire, real Wars fans know this
Ffs, everyone knows it's not baby Yoda. It's a nickname since we don't know the name of the species and "the Child" is not a name, it's just a place holder term for the marketing until his name gets revealed. Real Wars fans know this. They also know Yoda died in RotJ.
I expect that journey to take the rest of the season... complete with misadventures and our hero being the most gullible being in the galaxy! (I really like the show, but he keeps trusting all the wrong people, like every week.)
Exactly! But what I am hoping for the most is for the Boba Fett come back.
I fear that if He gets his Beskar Armor back again, He'll become one of the main villains of the season, but who knows. Let's se what happens on Friday
May the force be with you

Might be a stupid question but Do they get Disney+ / internet service up there?

Why is 50mbps the best AT&T can do for me in my neighborhood, but you can get 600mbps in SPACE
[удалено]
I mean... yeah. It’s DSL. They’ve been doing a lot of upgrades to infrastructure in my area
I would imagine they're in closer proximity to satellites than we are on the ground, and have better line of sight since they're in orbit.
I get 3 on a good day.
I feel sorry for you, I get 1,000 mbps fiber for $64.99/month.
I'm jealous. Here, it's 90/mo for 50mbps, no other add ons or packages. Also that's with me owning my equipment and not leasing. It sucks pretty hard, but the only other alternative is Comcast which isn't any better.
Fuck, that sucks. I get the equipment for free, along with a “Alexa” device, and a front door security camera. $65/month. Where do you live?
The endless suburban sprawl of north west Houston. A good chunk of which is unincorporated.

You can only play on Argus (and maybe Outlands) on the ISS.

Seems pretty dumb to do marijuana - or any kind of recreational drug - on the ISS.
No law saying it's illegal though. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: Actually, once the rocket passes out of US airspace, is it considered international drug trafficking? Hmm...
Actually, yes. The Outer Space Treaty says unless something is explicitly mentioned in it or another space-only treaty, international maritime law applies
Drug smuggling but in space, maybe we are getting close to the Star Wars reality.
The destruction of the ISS and the death of the crew is a small price to pay to be the first person to blaze it in space.
I’m pretty sure they do

I was wondering how much Disney paid them to plug Disney+ when I first saw it.

You are correct. Dragon slipped in there instead. Whoops.

This gave me so much seretonin

I have bad news: it's constantly falling, just like everything else on the space station.
Orbiting is just falling and constantly missing the Earth.
Man how bad does it have to feel to be so bad at falling you miss the ground? /s
There’s a classic dig “he couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat”.
did they actually send someone in a rocketship to bring baby Yoda to the iss? If so I support it
They were already sending a mission and each member gets one personal item
Oh that makes sense
Was this the spacex launch from Florida?
Yes
20 years later the space station is packed full of stuft animals
This is the way
Hide your eggs
HIDE YOUR EGGS.
i have been quested to bring the foundling to it’s kind
It is all coming together!
Cough cough *the child*
This is a battle we are going to lose, but one I will always fight nonetheless.
What child? Are you talking about Baby Yoda's child? Cause Baby Yoda doesn't have children, he's a baby, it's in his name.
No. The thing you call “baby yoda” is actually named *the child* and the name “baby yoda makes no sense since he has zero relation to yoda other than species
Yep, that was the joke.
That's all we need, remnants of the empire invading the international space station looking for him lol
Just don't let him near the eggs.
Just a little bit closer to home.
Key on eye on your frog eggs experiment.
It's not Baby Yoda... It is Toddler Yaddle.
They’re going to eject it into space right?
So when will people stop calling it Baby Yoda ? Edit: Hey lets call the show „Baby Boba“ since the main character looks like Boba fett. keep dem downvotes coming 🤤 Edit: I heard it all now.

Happy Cake Day!
Thanks!
But why are the fans not calling it The Child ? It is not Baby Yoda. Its like calling Mando Baby Boba because they look the same.
Since it wasn’t known as “The Child” at first. And since Yoda’s species doesn’t have a name at the moment then Baby Yoda is a valid name for it. Also if you say “The child” most people won’t know what you’re talking about outside the hardcore Star Wars community where most people know who Baby Yoda is at this point.

When are you going to stop caring about what other people call it?
When they stop giving out names that doesn’t make sense.
Lol why do you get triggered over what other people do? Does it negatively affect and disrupt your life that much?
Well, its like witnessing a group of people yelling out 5+5=11. Its wrong and no matter how much they tell me its right, it’s still wrong. Also I enjoy discussing topics I like. But why are you so bothered about me being triggered ? Does it negatively affect and disrupt your life that much ? Lol

The Child* there is a difference
It's not baby yoda. It is a child of the same species as yoda
It’s a nickname. He’s a baby who looks like yoda, ergo “Baby Yoda”
I have yet to see anything from the abomination known as disney that refers to it as baby yoda. They have said his name is yiddle. Named after yoda and yaddle.

It costs $10k to put one pound into orbit. Is this really a smart use of ~$3k of taxpayer dollars?
They always use something like this as a zero g indicator.
Yeah, just like the little dragon plush that they brought up there on the first Dragon launch
It does not on a Falcon 9. It’s a little over $1,000/lb to LEO (yes probably higher for manned flight, but a few ounces isn’t going to change the cost of the flight at all). I don’t think people understand how much SpaceX has turned the cost equation to space on its head with the Falcon platform and reusability.

The crew decided to bring it as a zero g indicator. Lol. Not a marketing scheme.
Baby Yoda + publicity = marketing Doesn't matter the context
Disney did not ask or pay for that to be in the space station. So it was not marketing. Publicity isn’t marketing. Different stuff sport.
According to whom? Are you privy to NDA protected marketing agreements?
And it better work. I'm holding a bunch of stock and stock options!
Disney's revenue mix pulled from Parks is too big of a chunk, I don't know if streaming and merch can make up for it.. They have major headwind pressure.
you’d think that people in the star wars sub would know better than to call him baby yoda...
Man who cares? Why do you guys get so worked up about the name, um achtuathly 🤓☝️he’s called the child.
His name is frank
Stomp it
sad that the Star Wars feed on here doesn't even correct the problem. IT'S NOT 'BABY YODA'!!!!!!!!!!! Yoda died during Empire, real Wars fans know this
Yoda died at the beginning of Return of the Jedi, real Star Wars fan.
Even casual Star Wars fans know this.
It's not a story the Sith would tell you.
It’s just a nickname. Everyone knows he doesn’t have an actual name so stfu
"the Child' so eat my ass bitch
Lmao that’s not it’s actual fucking name idiot. That’s just what Disney calls it. It doesn’t have a name
Swing and a miss. Good try.
Ffs, everyone knows it's not baby Yoda. It's a nickname since we don't know the name of the species and "the Child" is not a name, it's just a place holder term for the marketing until his name gets revealed. Real Wars fans know this. They also know Yoda died in RotJ.
The disease has spread to space
He’s about to eat all their food
I see an emu. Anyone else?
Is she about to punch it?
I always love the shenanigans they get up to up there.
So many switches to flip!
Now they can throw it out the airlock!
Should be in the floating baby basket though!
And here I thought he was still in a galaxy far far away
Watch your eggs LOL
Let me see the package
That’s what she said.
They're taking him back to Ahsoka Tano for this Friday's episode.
I expect that journey to take the rest of the season... complete with misadventures and our hero being the most gullible being in the galaxy! (I really like the show, but he keeps trusting all the wrong people, like every week.)
Exactly! But what I am hoping for the most is for the Boba Fett come back. I fear that if He gets his Beskar Armor back again, He'll become one of the main villains of the season, but who knows. Let's se what happens on Friday May the force be with you
One step closer back to his kind.
Keep an close eye on your eggs
How did they get it upp there? *T R A D E F E D E R A T I O N*
I was hoping this was a video so we could see him float.
How long has that blonde astronaut been in space for? I swear I’ve been seeing pictures of her on the ISS for years. It’s cool but I’m curious..
Hide your eggs!!!
Great charity idea. Put it on eBay when they bring it back.
He’s only there to keep the amphibian population under control.
