You are correct, my sincerest apologies. Light at different frequencies can carry more/less data. I will leave my mistake, as failures are the price of progress. I will not make that mistake again and be more careful. Thank you for your kindness.

Edit: Clarification; different frequencies affect data transfer rate

Is JK not jacked anymore?

Moreso, they are trying to impress a narcissist to make good on his country's deal with them.

I was trying to play into it in a more macabre manner. I was hoping to imply that in the event of the collapse of the US, the states would go free for all and protect resources. I have no doubt that South Carolina would try to keep as many weapons as we manufacture. It's a fun hypothetical to think about. The level of chaos that would ensue. It's fascinating, really.

South Carolina might not have the ships, but we got the nukes lol

Not only that, but less than 70% vote in a general election. Probably less than 60% will vote in the midterms. Only 30% voted in my municipal elections last year. Americans are apathetic and don't want to make time to vote. It's stupidly easy. Early voting opens a month early, I'm literally going to go primary vote in a couple weeks ahead of it. I literally just pick a Saturday, wait most of the day and then vote.

Do I wish it was easier? Yes. Do I still think it's easy enough for people to do it. Yes. There's plenty of voting resources, but people don't use them, because they can't be bothered to research and out in any effort. Americans are lazy and apathetic and deserve whatever happens.

not unless they're seeing the puzzle before hand and have the words stacked in a paste. it would take at least a full second just to read and process the whole puzzle. So, it might be possible, but I don't think it's within the spirit of the game.

Oh boy, I went down a rabbit hole. This has been bothering me to the point where I called in some favors and found some public info for what the current hypothesis on "near" light speed communications is. Because light speed is impossible...for now haha. But let's use some assumptions.

First, light speed travel is possible. Second, that we have superior tracking technology. To the point where we can find the exact location of a traveling at light speed object in space.

The best option we have now is using photonics for communications. This bypasses using radio waves by using an array of lasers that are pointed toward a receiver, which is in turn pointed to the transmitter. We can see why space and light speed travel makes this difficult. It's hard to track objects in space at very high speeds with the precision needed for this level of communication.

The reason photonics is the best option is, it opens up significantly more frequencies to work with. And some frequencies travel farther and faster than others. If we ever master light speed and light speed communications, I would bet money now it's photonics. Because what's faster than light?

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer. Please do not ask about FTL, crazy things start happening then. <- in jest, if you wanna ask you can. Engineers I know argue about it to the point of almost fighting. But that's engineers for you.

The bleeding Ohio flag is sending me

It's fine to celebrate anyone's death.

I'm actually excited about this. I feel like it captures the vibes of RE.

Oh boy! Is it hating women time already?
