    The Global Cross-Hair Enigma that looks like Hair Dryer Burns

    that's not a necessary condition, and 10 seconds is yet another guess if plastic transfers heat more slowly, the starting temperature could be higher (and taper off) with a shorter contact it's hard to remember that your likelihoods and numbers are unsupported guesses

    The Global Cross-Hair Enigma that looks like Hair Dryer Burns

    thank you for conceding that your claim was a guess When you have a hair drier hung by the eyelet at the base of the handle (as in the last image), it is often free to move around somewhat, depending on what else presses against it.

    let's just debunk that real quick, for completeness The Annenberg Center is a political advocacy group that owns FactCheck.org. The APPC was established in 1993 by Walter and Leonore Annenberg and its ongoing funding comes from an endowment established for it at that time by the Annenberg...

    The Global Cross-Hair Enigma that looks like Hair Dryer Burns

    which is why these burn marks aren't all that common is there evidence behind that "on the spots", or is it simply a convenient, unsupported claim? it seems to me that it would depend on where people put their hair driers after use, and what they do then—I know I don't have enough data on that...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    The Russian Ministry of Defense and several milbloggers reported that Ukrainian forces used UAVs to strike the Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast (approximately 315 miles from Ukrainian territory) and the Dyagilevo Air Base in Ryazan Oblast (approximately 285 miles from Ukrainian territory).[5]...

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    To be 100% clear: you think it landed there? After being supersonic seconds earlier? and then, being stationary, caused cloud turbulence for 2 hours? It's cloud. I see no evidence that it would be anything else.

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    what color was the object? the vapor trail does not go from corner to corner, were you zoomed in more at the time? a heart-like shape is often seen in pictures of "wake turbulence", do a google image search for that to see more examples Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHSi_Lpbqzw&t=80

    This is not proof of anything; just a different facet of incredulity. "I can't believe something I could not find exists."

    Need help explaining: shadows and sunlight direction on Artemis 1 footage.

    it's a curved gravel walk if this was lens distortion (which would be highly unusual, to see that much of it), it'd noticeably affect Mick's legs

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    apparently, there was no impact, and apparently, the object was subsonic would an impact have been able to cause two hours of disturbance? if there was laminar wind flow across the ridge, and the passing object disturbed that and switched the behavior to turbulent flow, creating patterns...

    if you don't know anything about this kind of research, you probably shouldn't be doing it

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    thank you for pointing out that one cloud is shaped like the ridge, and therefore probably located above it it still looks to me that some other clouds may well be behind that ridge, and partially obscured by it and the trail could well have passed above the ridge, with proper 3D perspective

    turbulence, likely caused by some obstacle, e.g. a mountain, or a passing aircraft

    The flaw in using the "do your own research" call in an argument without providing a starting point.

    why would you trust yourself when you are not an expert, and haven't done any research? you're succumbing to "argument by incredulity" ("I can't believe" aluminium looks like that), which is a logical fallacy because it is not logically related to truth. much of the youtube CT "research" stops...

    Mid-Atlantic "Racetrack" UFO Cockpit Video [Starlink Again]

    Non-flaring satellites you see in the sky are visible via diffuse reflection, which is non-directional; they stop being visible once they enter Earth's shadow. Satellite flares are caused by specular reflection. If you've ever used a mirror, or a small polished surface such as a wristwatch, to...

    yes. FE is motionless. (A select few have proposed the theory that FE is accelerating upwards, which accounts for weight without needing gravity.) The century-old technical device that disproves motionless Earth, routinely installed on steel ships, is the gyrocompass.

    Clouds over Mount Shasta - Dissipation Trail?

    I don't quite follow. Your pictures seem to show a mountain ridge, silhoutted dark against the clouds behind it. Am I seeing another part of the mountain outside of that ridge? If not, it seems to me that any and all cloud pattern would, in 3D, continue behind that ridge, as would an aircraft...

    Mid-Atlantic "Racetrack" UFO Cockpit Video [Starlink Again]

    the strongest counter is this: 1) this is fairly easy to approximately verify by lay people (using a 24-hour clock face to approximate the sun direction) 2) random UFO sightings could appear in any direction 3) Starlink flares only ever appear in direction of the invisible sun 2) and 3) mean...

    this demand equates to "make it cumbersome to respond".
