I understand that. Still was a beautiful day. Sometimes it's okay to smile amidst the pit of despair we've dug ourselves into. I played outside with my dog half the day and it made my soul happy, and I'm okay with that. It's fine that you feel differently, I assumed this would be the majority of responses.

I wish I could be there to see your face when you read below.

Okay, so you saw 52 satellites.

But there's over 3500 Starlink sats in orbit right now. How often do you see those?

Starlink birds are only easily visible right after they are launched, while the orbit is still being raised. Once they reach their operational orbit, not only are they much further away, but the sun shield is in position to almost completely eliminate them from view. You would only possibly see them at certain times during twilight, and even then only faintly.

Calm down.

The charger broke off inside of the port, so I bought a new charger. That didn’t work, then I realized that the port broke, too, so I replaced the port. This still didn’t work. When I plugged the new charger into the port, the charging light would turn on for a moment then turn back off. At this point I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
