@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX To be precise, 25,300 terminals were sent to Ukraine, but, at present, only 10,630 are paying for service

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX SpaceX has already withdrawn its request for funding

@starrski71 @RenataKonkoly @EvaFoxU @kadubai11 @spideycyp_155 Wrong analogy. America also had a humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan. No one in America sees that country as part of America. Crimea *is* seen as a crucial part of Russia by Russia, much as Hawaii is seen as a crucial part of America.

@EnjoyerFive 🎯🤣

@PPathole @spideycyp_155 Probably not

@zerohedge Practice makes perfect …

@RenataKonkoly @EvaFoxU @kadubai11 @spideycyp_155 Russia has been punched in the nose and forced to retreat many times by Ukraine. But what you don’t want to do is give Russia a choice of total, humiliating defeat or nukes – then the probability of them using nukes is high.

@kadubai11 @spideycyp_155 Obviously many disagree with this logic, but what do they think is their probability of being wrong about WW3. If they say 0%, they are utterly dangerous fools.

@kadubai11 @spideycyp_155 But, hey, look on the bright side! At least Russia doesn’t get Crimea in that scenario, so you can be comforted by that thought, while watching the mushroom clouds rise.

@kadubai11 @spideycyp_155 If Russia faces destruction of their army and utter defeat by NATO, they will use nukes, then NATO will respond with nukes and civilization is over

@spideycyp_155 Whether one likes it or not, Crimea is absolutely seen as a core part of Russia by Russia. Crimea is also of critical national security importance to Russia, as it is their southern navy base. From their standpoint losing Crimea is like USA losing Hawaii & Pearl Harbor.

@hyiki22 @spideycyp_155 Exactly

@spideycyp_155 If Russia is faced with the choice of losing Crimea or using battlefield nukes, they will choose the latter. We’ve already sanctioned/cutoff Russia in every possible way, so what more do they have left to lose? If we nuke Russia back, they will nuke us and then we have WW3.

Exceptionally well-said

@rhensing @keith_dorschner @teslaownersSV Standard (non-performance) 3 & Y suspension in production now has improved comfort, without affecting handling

@DrKnowItAll16 @pirate3Guy @HSerunjogi Yeah, RV version is lower priority than standard version. You should still see high speeds during off hours. Is that happening? As we add more satellites & upgrade satellite technology, speeds in high user density locations should see significant increases.

Ok, we will add a donate option to Starlink

@pirate3Guy @HSerunjogi That’s oddly low. Normally, much higher.

Are there others that want to donate Starlinks to places in need?

@HSerunjogi Ok

@DogecoinNorway @moxie @ID_AA_Carmack 🤣 that’s happened to me many times

@moxie @ID_AA_Carmack A much quieter leaf blower is possible
