That's embarrassing for Robert Peston.

How bizarre: the phone cord is there, plain as day. I saw it immediately, without effort, as clearly as I could see Boris. Surely it's not a "dress" or Laurel/Yanny thing?

I guess trying to define what we mean by certain words, and trying to understand what others mean by certain words is helpful in conversations like this. Omar's statement that he was: "talking about someone whose feelings drive their thinking about factual matters while they maintain their...

Cool to learn it factors for refraction: last I recall, Google Earth doesn't, so can noticeably differ sometimes from reality.

My worry was that when it was reported as "shot in the shoulder and died" the conspiracy theorists would jump on that and label it bs. "Who dies (pretty much immediately) from being shot in the shoulder?" etc. I would think if I got shot in the shoulder and then the bullet entered my neck I'd...

I'd heard it reported [that she was shot in the shoulder] - but I'm curious: if that's the case, why does quite a lot of blood come out of her mouth? I guess maybe the bullet entered her shoulder but, because of the angle - the shooter off to the side - penetrated something more serious.

In this folder here, you can find lots of photos of the curve of the horizon as compared with a nearby straight edge: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1lzXYY_HZ2xrlMPbG-4iDJu8f6QNsQEOo Some are in this post here...

I would say I don't think anyone thinks of the edge as the horizon, or at least no one I've come across - especially because flat earthers don't believe anyone can get close to the edge. They all believe in horizons though - but getting them to think about what would cause a horizon on their...

I guess to be more precise, if the Earth was a flat plane (infinite or otherwise) there wouldn't be a horizon - although, as you point out, if you were within visual range of "the edge" there'd be something different. Whatever a person imagines to be at the edge, though, I don't think one could...

I always find it hard to imagine how things would appear if we actually lived on a plane. Wouldn't the point where, for example, sea meets sky be rather indistinguishable on a flat plane, as though fading into a mist due to atmostpheric conditions, etc?

If the Earth was flat there wouldn't be a horizon, there'd be nothing to cause it.

It's very rare that things which are possible aren't at least tried.

What's the explanation @Leifer? Timestamp?

Genuinely I couldn't say. But for sure I don't think it looks like smoke.

Doesn't look like smoke to me.

In the Wikipedia entry for Li Hongzhi, it is written that: In 1996, the city of Houston named Li as an honorary citizen and goodwill ambassador for his "unselfish public service for the benefit and welfare of mankind". And: By April 2001, Li Hongzhi had received over 340 awards and...

Matt Parker has posted a new video looking into Republican claims - shared by Fox News and included in the lawsuit - that the chancs of Biden turning around the deficit in Georgia, etc was "one in quadrillion": Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua5aOFi-DKs&ab_channel=Stand-upMaths Red...

I notice on that Rapture forum site some people have pointed out that 30330 is a zip code for Atlanta, Georgia - and Georgia being xxx, they're thinking that's significant. But, really, as it's unused it can't be referring to that, so it must be referring to the city of El Albujón in Spain -...

Probably they mistook the rpm for the runtime.

Which version? On mine its over 40.
