Best one word joke ever told! Trump!

This is getting out of hand, can this be a real move on Trump's part to disrupt the election and become dictator? Is he really trying to kill people or is he just a psychopath and this is all about him?

Ahmet and jimmy dasaint... Coming from the mountains of West Virginia this cultural music...

The morning after Trump tweeted out his "sickness" I saw a woman drive by my house in a flashy convertible with a skeleton/manikin in the passenger seat wearing a mask but the woman driving had on no mask. Made me wonder if she had seen the news yet. Lot's of Trumpers and Trumpettes around here, usually less than 50% are wearing a mask and if they are wearing a mask more likely than not they leave their noses out of the mask. I haven't seen any change since Trump announced his diseased status but I am keeping "them" under observation. Of course this is the deep south and lots of high income people live around here in gated communities and it makes sense so many trump supporters are supposed to be rich as I have been informed. Lots of big pickup trucks with american and confederate flags flying from the bed of their trucks here too...

Not intuitive to me, in fact I'd like to see you justify this claim...

What are the parameters "fine tuning" necessary for life?

Apparently, but I am open to you explaining further... How do you know that the "fine tuning" you talk of is anything but there only being one possibility for those parameters? Considering the universe is not exactly friendly to life and "fine tuning" isn't the word I would use for a universe so inherently hostile to life?

It feels rather good basking in the warm glow of schadenfreude to me...

Those are assumptions, rather large assumptions, in fact I see no reason to make those assumptions. Why should I make those assumptions anything but the bald speculation they are? And yeah all the stuff Bufofrog, dimreaper, and Area51 said...

I was going to post a link to Sweatman's video but I looked at his list and there are more than twenty videos on this subject just by Sweatman.

I've been following the idea of a rapid sea level rise around 12,000 years ago for many years. Most of the "evidence" appears to be hidden in deep or turbid water along coastal areas near river mouths. I think there might be three areas where some difficult exploration can be done but so far no smoking gun. The idea is that something caused a huge sea level rise and possibly extremely high coastal waves that trashed what was a globally linked world wide civilization. A great many people take this and run into weirdness like ancient aliens, atlantis and a civilization more advanced than our own. This is just nonsensical for many reasons but a ocean going trade oriented power something like the phoenicians but maybe a bit more widespread could have connected a net work of river mouth and coastal cities at least across the atlantic basin if not the pacific ands indian oceans as well. A sudden rise in sea level from a violent event could trash such a civilization but the cause of such and event much less remnants of those are highly speculative. However this Younger Dryas event could at least be a possible cause. The reason for a lack of buildings might be reasonably explained if these people worked in wood instead of stone like the Egyptians and other later more inland orientated peoples... Sadly I have to admit that very little real investigation into this is being done and what is either too difficult to pursue with our own underwater archeology or is being written off as impossible and nothing but pseudoscience. The guy I mentioned got my attention a while back but he has an agenda and seems to be trying to steer the evidence toward his own conclusions... Everyone knows Elvis is retired to Hawaii....

Is anyone paying any attention to any of the hypothesis surrounding the Younger Dryas Impact? For a long time this subject was being used to explain everything from the fall of an ancient civilization to the JFK assassination, possibly the death of elvis as well. But lately some detailed explanations of many papers being used to explain things like the Carolina Bays and the scablands out west not to mention various flood myths and myths of earlier civilizations of humans here on earth which fell when the impact caused a scouring of coast lines all over the planet to raising sea levels as much as 400 feet. For awhile it was barely interesting but an actual scientist, who is of course being called nuts by mainstream science, but it appears some of his stuff is difficult to refute. If not for Martin Sweatman being a well thought of scientist in his field which is unfortunately not archeology he might get more respect for his views on this impact catastrophe.

According to a new paper Mars was not a water world in the deep past but an ice world. Rivers and alluvial fans were most likely made under a covering of ices says a paper in Nature Geoscience. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2020/08/04/was-mars-once-the-white-planet-ice-sheets-not-rivers-created-martian-valleys-say-scientists

We are how we eat? Hmmm... I think you missed the point, you are sentenced to watching the video twice more and dancing around the room nude...

Wait!!! You mean we could have fixed this POTUS thing that plagues us by simply stopping that Homo sapiens from having sex with that Pongo noselfestemii???

Yes, yes we have on a tiny scale on the ISS https://www.nasa.gov/oem/inspacemanufacturing There you got me,it was an assumption on my part that using in situ materials instead of hauling them up of earths grvity well would be less expensive. I asked string junky about the speed of drones, he answered me. No, a distorted take on a dyson sphere was popularised, he was talking about a swarm of small objects in space that could harvest all the energy of the sun, O'Neil cylinders were part of what he envisioned... Again dyson's vision was of a swarm not a solid shell covering a star... others came along later and didn't understand his Idea. It is an orbiting space station but anything functioning in space around the sun can be defined that way. A dyson swarm has to start with the first object. I would not expect the objects on film to be manned nor would I expect them to have traveled from another star. Either a manned mothership sends them or an AI machine... if indeed they are anything but military drones testing our technology. evidently not In all honesty i had forgotten but thank you for reminding me. Thank you or pointing that out. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/factsheets/Bldg-structures.html https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/astronauts-robots-and-the-history-of-fixing-and-building-things-in-space Thankyou.

That girl really plays that 6 string guitar!!

Perhaps I should learn to speel as welll

What I am saying is that once we establish a manufacturing base in space that uses in situ materials the economics of space flight will change. Right now everything has to be dragged out of the Earth's gravity well, the economics of that is truly staggering but building a brobdingnagian object in space using materials already there will cut costs considerably. Perhaps I dumbed down the concept a bit, I am trying to avoid as much typing as possible since I almost sliced off my thumb a few days ago. Yet trying to type fast to avoid the boss, my wife my wife hits me in the head with a ball bat, plastic thank god, when she catches me... Actually, if you on a slow boat fuel requirements are smaller and a solar sail could be used to slow down at the end. I am honestly unaware of where I made any claims about speed, please let me where and I'll either defend to admit i was wrong. See above... An actual dyson sphere consisting of a solid sphere covering the sun violates all known and hypothetical physics... https://www.space.com/38031-how-to-build-a-dyson-swarm.html Sending small objects in orbit to build larger structures is currently being done, the international space station is an example. ???? I was answering the idea that physics prevent star travel when in fact it does not.We currently have two space craft on the way to doing it. Time and energy are what it's all about, which do you have the most of? "To say anything is impossible you must point out something about it that supports that idea. Neither space travel, dyson swarms, O'Neil cylinders, or star travel has any impossible or even yet to be invented aspects but controlled fusion would be a nice touch for star travel.... If you did not say these things were impossible I apologize Please show me were I am tap dancing around anything? Building things in microgravity redefine scale... I cannot find where I claimed much of the stuff you are asking about,sadly there appears to no way to tell what number post I said these things, I feel overwhelmed swansonT but I will say,and please take note of this I am hear to learn not to convince people of things not true but answering this post makes me feel like you have mistaken I said either out of context or attributed to me something someone else said. I need help here, please show where I claimed these things. I have labeled them with question marks for your benifit...

Wasn't my claim... First I am going to assume you mean a dyson swarm and not an actual sphere which is beyond any known materials physical strength, actual or theoretical. A dyson swarm is just physical application of known materials and physics. Orbital insertion requires technology much the same way a dyson swarm does as does a O'Neil cylinder. To say anything is impossible you must point out something about it that supports that idea. Neither space travel, dyson swarms, O'Neil cylinders, or star travel has any impossible or even yet to be invented aspects but controlled fusion would be a nice touch for star travel.... An O'neill cylinder is well within the boundaries of current technologies much the same as sending something into earth orbit is, just on a larger scale...
