Other than possible health concerns, I have no moral issues with eating humans that died from some other cause. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong about it, it’s a cultural thing.

They planned on trying a command to fix it but they didn’t expect it to work and said that October when the system reset happened was the best shot. Seems like the command ended up working though.

A shift of 2° at 12.3 billion miles means it’s now pointing about 430 million miles away from the earth. The likelihood that it would be pointing at one of the small handful of man made objects that are out that far is infinitesimally small. Imagine being in a filed 100 miles wide and spinning a bottle with a laser pointer on it and hoping it lands pointing at a single bottle cap at the edge of the field. That would be magnitudes more likely than this pointing at one of our objects. And even if it did, those also would have antennas pointed at Earth so they couldn’t receive the message without turning which might cause the same issue for them.

Shit, as a Floridian, you may have just convinced me we should let them live. We already have too many people moving here.

Also, can we not support people putting no effort into the title? It’s really not hard to write a halfway decent title.

The claim is they used Twitter “trade secrets”. What could those possibly be? The concept is obviously not a secret. Unless they used Twitter’s algorithm or something I don’t see how this doesn’t get thrown out immediately.
