This made me chuckle:

I knew I was gonna be more right/authoritarian this time, given some of my answers, but didn't turn out as much as I thought. A bit less Bernie, a bit more Nicola Sturgeon. Happy with either of those, to be honest. :)

UPDATE: He said he'd look into it but didn't get back to me. Oh well.

Is flat earth stagnating? Or is that just a symptom of my having lost interest in it? It seems like, going back a year or two, flat earthers were 'discovering' things and presenting 'proofs', and debunkers had lots to learn and get their heads around. The curvature calculators were embryonic...

There are quite a few threads on here discussing that. Here are six of the best ways to easily demonstrate that the horizon is below eye level: 1. Use a professional theodolite. Eye level is where the crosshair is: 2. Download and properly calibrate a theodolite app. Eye level is where the...

As long as they were both pro-facts, and somewhat able to keep their opinions and psychologies out of it, I guess it would be okay. :) Anyway, can you think of a better way?

Carrot dropped by a bird?

For some people, alas, their religious vows preclude them from coming too close to evidence that clashes with their beliefs. Don't understand it meself but one must have respect for these things.

Well, we all generalise from time to time.

How about finding specific quotes on there, like the Brzezinski one from the other day? How did you do that?

I really wanted to reply to this with the opening of Series 2 Episode 4 of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, but it's quite skilfully been prevented from being uploaded. Tragedy. :(

Kangen water purifiers - all the rage around certain circles I encounter. Three thousand bucks. Sold by pyramid scheme. Supposedly makes the water more alkaline, which is (supposedly) good for you. Nice article: www.lazymanandmoney.com/kangen-water-scam/

I dunno. I saw one the other day that stood about 8,000 feet tall. But then, my individual simulation is probably groovier than most.

Well, the plot around the timeline thickens. Earlier this week the police revised it to say that the security guard had been shot 6 minutes before Paddock started shooting the crowd - which certainly raised eyebrows - but now the Mandalay Hotel themselves are disputing this, saying: ...that the...

The maker of that video thinks the sun is 80-100 feet wide and as little as 16,000 feet above the earth! [The birds in my video] are heron. They are big. They have a 65-70in wingspan and are about 4-5ft long in the air. I did some rough calculations and the sun may be 80-100ft wide. I have been...

I just learned of something called 'crowdtangle'. Has anyone used that? Would that be useful to someone in this debate? Seems like a way of measuring trends on facebook, etc.

I'm in a facebook conversation with him as we speak (I know you know this; just wanted to let everyone else know, so he doesn't have it coming at him from multiple angles. ;) )

It may indeed simply be a different climate, and a term that has reached some sort of 'tipping point'. I think it's only about a year ago that I first heard it, and probably about the same span of time since I learned that every major event is now instantly followed by a barrage of CT videos and...

I don't think the ISS would be in the same place for two minutes.
