I was concerned about Starlink but apparently the 40 duds were not in their final orbits. The 50% greater drag overpowered the reaction wheels so they couldn't deploy the solar panels for the ion engines.

I don't look a gift horse in the face, especially when it delivers from heaven.
Last mile is the most expensive part of delivery, so you've done a great good deed.
Not aware of the Starlink issues. Can the duds boost enough to deploy solar, or are they doomed? How did they get deployed so suboptimally in the first place?

I've seen a lot of people call it:
"The Great Work-From-Home Migration"
"The Rural Boom"
etc...
This will for sure be the reason why i pivot from manufacturing engineering back to mechanical design engineering. The pay difference isn't enough to want to work in person.

I prefer working in the physical environment rather than virtual, though eliminating commute and dress code and precise clock-in/clock-out requirements are strong motivators for WFH.
I'd have made a good manufacturing engineer if I could manage to complete the schooling required to get a job. My favorite thing is failure mode analysis and process improvement.
