Not annoying; abusive. Gluttons for punishment pay her to abuse them.

This probably should go in the RIP thread but I'm the only one posting there.

Pole flip making people cra-cra?

Environmentalists are fine- it's those who use environmental sensitivities as a fear vector for political, financial or reputational gain that are the worst.

Always difficult to "mind-read" those who use fear tactics and determine if they are merely ignorant, corrupt, or both. Fortunately we don't need to know, as they are all disqualifying attributes of leadership.

Twenty-three minute delta so you didn't watch the 131 minute video. Mind reading works fast!

I just finished watching at Normal speed, it's nice to see the guests in the same room.

Watching Tim Pool try to weave every media franchise into a coherent whole was a low point. But the subject of plasmoid implosions came up. And the Solar Micro-nova.

Ian Crossland wanted to talk about levitating 1000-ton stones, but everyone else was on about the far side of the Moon being a space ship.

Which is why I didn't quote your post; I was commenting to the title of this thread.

I was listening to something else before I listen to a 2hr thing. Autoline After Hours featuring guest Doug DeMuro.

EDIT: This was 1 month into Covid, so it's funny listening to their predictions. New car sales will be well below 12M in the US... total sales was still 14.5M. Used car prices will plummet... instead it increased by 50%.

Now I'm sorrowful and wracked with guilt.

Some of it is worth you time.

Some of it was worth my time. The interesting bits to me were pole shifts and a theory of how the earth could change in tilt. Fake moon landing, fake A-bomb, ancient civilizations were more advanced, and the other "out there" stuff isn't interesting to me.

Probably the most "out there" thing I'm willing to entertain slightly, is why did building 7 collapse?

When I played football, we couldn't get 11 guys to go on 2. Getting thousands of people to do something more complex than going on 2 flawlessly is not within the realm of reality.

One of those things is not like the two others. One thing I was hoping they'd mention is the Diorite vases. Machined to a tolerance that can exceed the limits of dial indicators so they have to used advanced imaging techniques to measure them. Only to find out the shapes are rigorously geometrical.

Ben Van Kerkwyk on Danny Jones: Encoded ‘sacred geometry’ of ancient vases

The frozen mammoths are also 'highly compelling'.

Werent machined which implies a tool bit, they were ground using an abrasive which indeed can be exceedingly accurate as you get down to polishing compounds
And you split hairs on my eunuch comment?
