Phil Klass always asked for a copy of the police report along with a list of the names of those "hundreds of people" that were witnesses. Seldom if ever does that occur. It all sounds so good until you try to find detail. Accounts of this type...

My late husband was a metallurgist. I'd come home and tell him I screwed up a two-liter batch in the chem laboratory, and he'd grumble "I made a ton of scrap today".

A good friend did professional metallurgy. He laughed at the "never before seen alloy" statement. "Dig through my scrap pile, you don't think I've added every possible element in every combination? I've got 3000 unidentified specimens behind my...

There actually are some potential limited opportunities between the community and AARO. It'd be up to Mick in the end though. If he wanted that's always something that could be approached.

I was actually referring to airborne tankers. We would use our radar on the aircraft but sometimes it was inoperative so we learned to join up on an aircraft in the dark that was in a holding pattern. Not an easy task. So my point was that many...

As an airline pilot I can tell you it was pretty confusing the first time I spotted these. I was sure it was an aircraft or several aircraft in a circular holding patten by the periodic appearance of the "lights". Later when flying with other...

To add to the chorus, From Wikipedia "In the United States the V3 (and its variants) was the most popular cell phone in 2005, 2006 and 2007[1] and remained best-selling until November 2008" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Razr_V3 Most...

Apart from camera phones, wouldn't at least some people have had a non-phone camera at their home or even on their person? I didn't have a smartphone at the time, but before they became ubiquitous lots of people had digital cameras of many...

Your argument wouldn't even work even if he did say "iPhone", which he didn't, as that would be an example of synechdoche, or metonymy if you view it as a kind of antonomasia: use of a closely related concept to describe any member of a larger...

Whenever I am upset or think about the creation of the infinite universe, I read Baba Fakir Chand ji. He was probably the first religious guru in the world who experienced death repeatedly while alive. He was the first to introduce spirituality...

And the odds would have been much better if I had vaccinated him. The disease and the vaccine are still "new", but literally billions of people have been vaccinated several times for years, and also billions of people have been infected. The data...

My one year-old just got Covid. We are all currently infected in my household, myself, the wife and the son. We didn't vaccinate him because all the doctors we talked with told us it to wait a little longer, most of our friends with young kids...
