Hmm... 🤔

Which one is better?

Earth orbit is getting more and more crowded, with both active satellites and pieces of debris. There's so much stuff up there that it's far from alarmist to start worrying about the Kessler syndrome, a nightmare scenario in which a collision or two leads to many more, vastly increasing the amount of junk circling our planet.

“We have to get serious about this and recognize that, unless we do something, we are in imminent danger of making a whole part of our Earth environment unusable."

Most of those LEO satellites — about 6,800 of them — belong to a single constellation: SpaceX's Starlink broadband network. The vast majority of these warnings involve Starlink satellites, which are far from sitting ducks. These spacecraft use onboard software to spot possibly worrisome encounters and perform evasive maneuvers if needed which other satellites cannot.

These numbers are growing all the time, and the tally could soon get mind-bogglingly high. SpaceX, for example, wants the Starlink network to eventually harbor more than 40,000 spacecraft.

Other players aim to build their own broadband constellations in LEO as well. China has begun building out its Qianfan ("Thousand Sails") megaconstellation, which will feature about 14,000 satellites if all goes according to plan. In addition, Amazon intends to assemble its own 3,200-satellite LEO broadband network, called Project Kuiper.

These satellites are having more and more close encounters with each other and with pieces of debris. Indeed, there are about 1,000 collision warnings per day on average in LEO. Earth orbit is getting more and more crowded, with both active satellites and pieces of debris. There's so much stuff up there that it's far from alarmist to start worrying about the Kessler syndrome, a nightmare scenario in which a collision or two leads to many more.

These three horror movies are all due out this year. We're likely to see each being offered awards come next year's Oscars.

WebMD:

A small amount of dribbling after urinating, also known as post-micturition dribble (PMD), is a common phenomenon, especially as men age, and is often considered normal.

Why it happens:

Urethral muscle relaxation: The muscle that controls urine flow in the urethra relaxes after urination, sometimes allowing trapped urine to leak out.

Prostate size: As men age, the prostate gland can enlarge, potentially affecting the urethra and leading to PMD.

Pelvic floor muscles: Strong pelvic floor muscles can sometimes trap urine, leading to dribbling after urination.

When to seek medical advice:

While PMD is often normal, it's important to consult a doctor if the dribbling is excessive, accompanied by other symptoms like pain, burning, or difficulty urinating, or if it significantly impacts daily life.

Harvard Med school:

Many men dribble urine shortly after they have finished using the toilet and the bladder feels empty. Even waiting a moment and shaking the penis before zipping up won't stop it. The medical term for this is post-micturition dribbling. It's common in older men because the muscles surrounding the urethra — the long tube in the penis that allows urine to pass out of the body — don't squeeze as hard as they once did. This leaves a small pool of urine at a dip in the urethra behind the base of the penis. In less than a minute after finishing, this extra urine dribbles out.

Though dribbling after urination is more likely to affect men, women get it, too. A study conducted in 1997 reported that the prevalence of post-void dribbling in women was 30% to 50%. Depending on the age group, the highest prevalence is among women aged 65 to 74.
