Before you argue about the existence of god, you must first define god.
...
To talk about god and be understood by your audience, you have to be talking about something "supernatural": something outside of nature, something above, beyond, outside of, or superior to reality.
Reality is all that there is. The unreal does not exist, and neither does god.
So says metaphysical naturalism. In your case, you're defining "supernatural" to mean "does not exist" by conflating nature with reality. Obviously, various religions hold a different view.
The ring is above the equator. I was surprised to read the rotation period is 3.9 hours for something that large. Then I started wondering, "that's gotta create some significant (relative to gravity) centripetal force. How much would gravity be reduced if you were standing on the equator on the long axis?" Calculemus!
Haumea (according to Wikipedia): Size along longest axis: 2322 km Mass: 4e21 kg
Based on this we can calculate centripetal acceleration using a = v^2/r: v = angular velocity = 2.322e6 m * pi / 14040 s = 519.571 m/s r = 1.161e6 m a = 0.2325186 m/s^2
The acceleration due to gravity at that point on the equator is g = G*M/r^2: G = 6.674e-11 m^3/kg/s^2 M = 4e21 kg r = 1.161e6 m g = 0.19805315 m/s^2
Which (if my calculations are correct) means that centripetal force at that point is actually 17% HIGHER than gravity. You'd have to hang on (it wouldn't be hard: if you weighted 200lbs (91kg) on Earth, you'd only need 11.25oz (320g) of force). Maybe that's where the ring comes from? Material just rolls off the planet?
Note: This assumes lots of stuff that may be incorrect.
Note 2: This would mean that an object attached to the surface at that point, if released, would immediately enter into an elliptical orbit with a period GREATER than the rotational period of the planet. You could very easily launch and capture orbiting vehicles with tethers extending some distance up from the surface, assuming the surface was solid enough to anchor them. Alternatively, you could build a hangar structure, and orbiting vehicles, facing retrograde, would land on the ceiling.
Running it in Golly on my PC right now it maxes out at 4-5 million generations/second with a step size of 8^6, periodically slowing down presumably to hash some new cell configuration. It uses ~550MB of RAM. I've run the other metapixel patterns that come with Golly, but this one is mind blowing to see.
Ironically, there's not much to look at, since there doesn't seem to be a display of the Tetris board built in.
It was a worry over biological contamination. JPL (and NASA) have very specific protocols for planetary protection. Huygens went through some extreme decontamination prior to launch. Cassini, as an orbiting probe, not so much. Also, at launch we didn't know as much about the Saturn system and it's moons.
Specifically, we learned that Enceladus has a large subsurface ocean, at the bottom of which may lie hydrothermal vents. Since those on Earth are often teeming with life, we didn't want to risk contamination of Enceladus' oceans.
- multiple HDMI can be obtained by connecting a separate HDMI switch box. Some even have remote controls
No. God no. You lost me at the first point. The last thing I need is another box and another remote.
I got cheap (< 10USD) HDMI switch box for my TV that doesn't require power and automatically detects signals and switches based on port priority. No remote, although you can get one if you want - there are also buttons on the box to force it to a specific input. I currently have my XBox360 and Steam Link plugged in, and maybe the rPi.

I have. I currently subscribe to Jungledisk Desktop which is going away this month, so I'm in a similar situation to the OP. I'll probably be moving to Cloudberry Backup for the following reasons: - Linux client - client-side encryption - scheduled backups - one-time cost (other than AWS costs)
The biggest downside I can see is that the "Desktop Pro" version supports a maximum managed backup size of 1TB. I'm currently at half that, and expect to exceed it eventually. However, the largest files are videos that won't ever need to be synced after upload (think GoPro footage), so I might manually backup those separately, in huge.tar files (or VeraCrypt volumes or similar if I want encryption).
I also have multiple on- and off-site external drive backups.
Your best bet at this point is probably to get them in person. Are there any planetariums or museums in your area? You might see if they have them in their gift shops. If there's a university with an astronomy department near you, they might be able to help you find some.
I was actually looking to maybe put my CD/Music collection that I have ripped into FLAC onto a PLEX server (they run on linux, right?) and use that to stream to my living room good stereo...from FireTV box over HDMI to the Marantz AV receiver, out....I'm thinking that would be a pretty darned good signal for my set up.
I have Plex Media Server running on my Linux server doing exactly this. My Roku LT and XBox 360 can play the music directly with their built-in media players (no special app required), as can any Android device with VLC.
You should check out AVIDemux if you haven't already - it can do various transforms on video. I don't know how complex your AviSynth scripts were, but something like changing resolution (or aspect ratio, or rotating, etc.) are simple enough that it can show you the output in real time before re-encoding the whole video.
The only people who like git are trend chasing hipsters (like JavaScript "programmers") who have never used other systems. Professionals, on the other hand, prefer Mercurial or one of the numerous other DVCS and VCS that exist.
If only this were true. But it's not. It's my perspective that most programmers who adopt the usage of any version control tend to stick with the first one they learn. After that, they become loyal to that package, even if it dies off, they cling to the known quantity.
Well, I started with Rational ClearCase and use git now; in between I used (in no particular order) VSS, PVCS, CVSNT (+TortoiseCVS), and TFS. git is my preferred system of all of those, solving every shortcoming I personally experienced.
I doubt your assertion holds for programmers who moved from file-locking "checkout-and-edit" based systems to an "update-and-merge" paradigm. The latter is so much easier. By the end of my use of VSS, I was basically doing that anyway with one directory containing the source-controlled copy, and another directory containing the copy I actually worked on, and just merging back and forth as necessary.

Plex Media Server does a similar job with regards to your own media files, which is what I assume the GP meant by "self-hosted."
And where did the money come from to make those investments? People bought products made in previous factories, by previous laborers.
It's factories all the way down!

Yeah, why did they switch from vertical to horizontal resolution anyway? 4K is really 2K, and so on.
So they could advertise bigger numbers to dumb customers.

Right, but that doesn't stop us from making wild assumptions and overreacting in the meantime.
