Would be a good opportunity for a nice 4D 3D-printing project. 8-) ;)

This system would raise a lot of cash if used here.

If you like nice pictures of stars, nebulas, galaxies and the such,
you can find them here for example:

Here is a nice example. A mosaic picture of our milkyway from cygnus to scutum.

One of my favourite Youtube channels is Kathy Loves Physics & History.

Here's a video on the history of Ohm's Law.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk_BpXl ... %26History

Ohm's Law is something I learned about at school and which has always been useful. It's not a fundamental law of nature, just a pretty good approximation for most of the conductors were are interested in. I never realised its early history was so turbulent.

Crazy things that are happening that are "allegedly" adding to global warming. I must admit that I have often thought the same thing myself. :roll:

Yeah, we've had similar "documentaries" over here. Thousands and thousands of unsold vehicles left to rot in outside storage to keep prices of current model year vehicles from being undercut. The problem is that they all belong to someone, and they are all collateral on some financing (be it retail or corporate) somewhere. You can't just take them.

Yes, it is stupid because all motor vehicles (especially EVs) are livestock, and it is only a matter of time before simple age and exposure make them worth far less than their financial liability. But this is what happens when you live in a society with laws; the owner of the vehicle has the right to do whatever they want with them, and that includes just stockpiling them until their depreciation ceases to make them a viable tax write-off.

Is he? His output seems to be almost all anti-china, it reads more like propaganda than reporting. One bloke making bald unsourced assertions without any background on the things he "reports" on, vague details, no interviews, nothing to suggest that it's anything of substance and he used "everybody knows*" one time to many for my liking. I can't help but find the whole channel suspicious. It smells wrong. Maybe he's legit, but I wouldn't trust anything he says without a lot of independent fact checking first.

*"everybody knows", is just one small step from "No true Frenchman would...".

As I said, I don't agree with all his views, and that's partly because he is very anti-China. Fun fact: the most anti-China person I ever met was an ethnic Chinese (from Singapore)...

Sources are hard to find and verify for places like China, North Korea, Russia etc, for reasons that should be obvious. That doesn't mean they aren't real. I leave it to you to do your own research, I wouldn't want to contaminate it with "propaganda".

I think that it is always going to be hard to believe anything these days outside of our own local knowledge, I mean hells bells, often we cannot even believe what our gubbermint tells us.

You can always find somebody who holds the opposite opinion to those presented by any youtuber for instance, even within youtube, there will be others who hold and present the opposite view, if you can be bothered to dig deep enough.

Of course.

For example, it is possible to find people that don't realise human civilization is descended from reptilians in the constellation Draco.

No, no, no, humans are descended from tree-dwellers, exactly as Darwin said; all the whales too. It's just the whales realized what a proper fuckup dry land is in general and went back to the oceans. The Sleestacks in caves under the Pentagon are descended from reptilians in the constellation Draco; the Quetzalcoatl brought them here as slaves.

Heresy, pure and simple. Your name and post has been forwarded to David Icke, who will no doubt be in touch.

Mind you, given the reptilian associations of your moniker, he may be inclined to be lenient.

Oh I know it's true; the Quetzalcoatl wouldn't lie aboot such a thing. People like Icke... well, I imagine it's rather like breathing to them.

back in the 80's and 90's i spent A LOT of time deep down in the pentagon "rat farm".

all the cool stuff really was in the basement. was tracing some conduits one time and stumbled into a DCSOPS space owned by a guy named schwarzkopf. "big ed" was with me and he actually said out loud....."schwarzkopf? are we still in the american pentagon?". a staff major escorted us out to the corridor. a couple of years later we figured out who the guy with the odd name was.

in reference to your assertion about alien reptiles.....they prepared us in the event of questions from reporters, and we were supposed to say........

"I HAVE NO COMMENT AT THIS TIME".

To which the conspiracy nuts reply, "You can't hide the truth from us, we know you have/are aliens!!!".

Of course, if you said, "There are no aliens, don't be silly" they'd reply "You're hiding aliens, don't deny it!!!".

And, if you replied, "Yes, we've been playing canasta with the aliens" they'd reply, "Stop trying to hide the REAL aliens from us!!!".

"No Comment" is something you're told to say for good reason; there's no reasoning with these loons.
