    TIL: The majority of Lemmys have never lived an hour from the nearest population center, down a dirt road, on a few hundred acres of wilderness. I fucking HATE musk and I still have an RV kit in my basement so when I’m traveling around hours from anywhere, Starlink works perfectly.

        two hours is waaaay out there guys!

        My sides are in orbit! Here is a side-by side of the Alps

        next to a small section of the American Rockies,

        which is still nothing compared to Canada (yes there are people in that big empty area).

        No offense, but true European rural doesn’t exist.

      This isn’t really a great argument. Subsidies are there to promote the things we want to come to fruition. Want your people to have solar? Subsidies for putting one on your roof. You want more electric cars on the road even though more expensive? Subsidies.

      You want a billionaire to help a new technology reach people he wouldn’t bother with? Subsidies.
