Achchchually no I'm not in the Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million light-years from Earth.
That distance exists not only in space, but most likely time as well. Extrapolating from our singular data point, it would seem that the lifespan of a technological civilization is quite short. The odds of two of those being around at the right times for even one of them to detect the passing emission shell of the other is diminishingly small.
A per capita map would also be nice.
I'd say the correlation is pretty good even when accounting for population densities.
The twitter user is an actual commercial pilot, and ACARS messages do look like that. Not sure what's up with SKW2438/SKY2438 but otherwise it seems legit. I think faking it would be harder than actually doing this.
Edit: Here's a picture of a much longer message in a more professional, non furry rp context:
How's he being an ally here? He's just talking about some people who supposedly pulled themselves up by the bootstraps. Most likely in an attempt to prove that others in similar situations have only themselves to blame for not doing the same.
You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.
Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.
It is a gender neutral pronoun.
Also when talking about people, it would be nice if they was a lot more normalized even in situations where the gender of the person is known.
Imagine not knowing your bearings at all times...
Also imagine not looking like a sailor...
True, but it's also the name of the Roman godess, which does make it allign better with all the other astronomical names.
That seems very lucky. Damn.
