Kherson Oblast occupation head Vladimir Saldo stated on October 26 that it would be “practically impossible” to completely destroy the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP) and that even the destruction of the dam locks at the HPP would only cause the water level of the Dnipro...

When Russian troops fled the Ukrainian town of Balakliia last month, they left behind thousands of documents that detail the inner workings of the Russian war machine. Another spreadsheet tracked equipment. Where there had been five drones on July 25, by the end of August there were only two...

doesn't look that drastically different, qualitatively they look the same if you want to look at dry summers, you're better off with the financial year as that keeps the summer months together, so that one bar equals one summer; if you want to look at wet winters, the calendar year graph is...

The family of four had discussed evacuation but decided their property was defensible, due largely to their decision to clear a fire break. It also helped that Mr Sheahan, his son Rowan and daughter Kirsten were all experienced members of the local CFA. "We prayed and we worked bloody hard. Our...

I think one of things that get overlooked here is that the accuracy of the simulation compared to the actual events doesn't validate our idea of the 9/11 events, it validates the simulation. With any computer model, especially when modelling a big, complex system, it must be assumed that the...

From your skeptoid article: The 2022 documentary Moment of Contact interviews a number of the people who were involved, and presents it as a true case of alien visitation. IMDB list the US release date as October 18th, 2022. Maybe it got delayed?

The three young women, aged 14, 16, and 22, saw the creature during a blustery rainstorm. The younger two were sisters who ran home and sent their mother to go see; the mother reported nothing but a smell of ammonia. Even though the winds were reported to be quite strong, the UFOlogists still...

in that case, the solar array shouldn't be flaring since it'd be aligned towards the sun.

They're in line, there's no difference. From the other thread: It may be worth reading the copy in full, it's SpaceX content. Basically, if we're seeing a "train", the satellites are not on station yet. If they're not on station, the "hinge" is flat ("open-book"), and the chassis is aligned...

Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russian forces have not yet laid enough explosives to fully destroy the HPP Dam as of October 24.[27] Budanov observed that the Russians have prepared parts of the dam for limited explosions that would not unleash the full force of the reservoir’s waters. The...

It's easier to steal and flog socks on the black market than ABC gear. Used to be this was only gas mask and filter for the common grunt. The question is, how old is this stuff, and have scheduled replacements been bought? The more Russia doubles down on this, the more afraid I get that they're...

possibly the other one is better shielded by the equipment mounted above it?

i suspect these categories have considerable overlap

i believe that's the explanation!

But we know that it did. What nobody knew before 9/11 was how it was possible for a steel-frame skyscraper to totally collapse from fire. The simulation showed that "settled science" in the form of established software packages for fire modeling and structural analysis predicted a collapse from...

you argue as if the claim was "attracts ONLY far right". the survey shows that the sheriff position attracts far more "very conservative" people than liberal people. If it didn't attract the far right, you'd have a situation where it attracts "very conservative" but not "far right", and I don't...

Let's consider a metaphor that applies to this topic (accuracy of the simulation) I am baking a muffin. You taste this muffin, and say "Grandma's muffin tasted different in some ways". You conclude that I did not, in fact, bake a muffin. Does this seem reasonable to you? If not, why not? You...

.86m ≈ 2'10" , for those accustomed to imperial units of measurement

The SpaceX update "APRIL 28, 2020 ASTRONOMY DISCUSSION WITH NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES" seems to have moved to https://www.spacex.com/updates/ where it lacks the images that originally went with it. Thankfully, it has been republished by various space websites. There will be a small percentage...

Metabunk link policy (see the "Info" section on the navbar) requires us to quote the pertinent bits from the sources we link to; like so: Starlink satellites are giant flat, square metal pancakes with tall, flat-segmented solar panels, and they now have one preferred attitude during their rise...
