Does anyone know if there's an interactive map where we can track where Dragon is in context of the earth?

There's something about many non-TV watchers that compels them to announce that they don't watch TV, with a crazed look in their eyes and desperation in their voice, pleading with the world to validate their religious beliefs. I picture them occasionally cracking, hunched over in the closet with a blanket over their head, watching Adam Sandler movies and crying in shame.
From my personal experience with not having a TV for the last ~10 years. I think the reason this comes up a lot is because people talk a lot about what on TV. When I was one of the only people around who did not have a TV and the conversation turned to some TV program, I was "forced" to say that I did not have access to it and couldn't have seen it. I think some people took it as slightly condesending that I actively choose to remove some activity from my life they themselves enjoyed.
When there are only a few people in a group who do not do as everyone else and it's a frequent conversation topic, they stick out. I have been on the other side with veganism. I'm not vegan. People talk a lot about food. Vegans say they don't eat meat. I would be slightly disheartened that they can't relate to the tasty greasy burger I was taking about.
As a lot of my peers now don't have flow TV and a fair amount is vegan, the default of everybody, my self included, is not to assume that you have a TV or eat meat, but to ask if you don't know. When you don't have a TV program or some types of food in common, the conversation shifts to something else. I see a lot less friction now than a few years ago.

This lift was due the large dry dock in Freeport, Bahamas being unavailable after an accident with Oasis Of The Seas.
Oasis Of The Seas was over the capacity of the dry dock, but was still docked. It was not lifted completely out of the water.
The dry dock broke under the ships weight causing the walls of the dry dock to collapse onto the ship. A crane collapsed onto the stern. Remarkably it didn't capsize. There where some non-life-threatening injuries.

If you essentially aim to make all education free you'll have Nordic level taxes as a consequence.
Not if you don't implement the rest of the Nordic model.
Denmark used 13% of its combined government budget on education in 2017. 44% was used on welfare.

Active Directory.
I’ve implemented LDAP with most of the available options. I wanted to hang myself with just about every option except AD.
Fortunately, I think we are in or near a post-LDAP world.

I want to learn. What technologies does replace LDAP in enterprise environments?

ArchiveTeam did manage to scrape ~98.6% of the user profiles before it went down. It was around 16 hours from completion when Google pulled the plug.
It was done with the distributed scraper 'Warrior' using a massive amount of small cloud instances to spread the load to 1000s of IP adresses. The dataset is ~1.45 PB.
