If they try to use Twitter, then the joke is on them.

On-topic, but it's about outer space.

One way is to listen to every word, another is to just mute it and watch the show.

Google knows I watched this and told you.

Did you see the one on professor Dave debunking "electric universe"?
Basically prof Dave puts up some "electric universe" straw men I have never heard of such as "electric universe don't believe in black holes, neutron stars, nuclear fusion, relativity, ect" and some other BS. Sounds a lot like aero head.

People are often over-sensitive to some ways we express our disagreement to what they believe. At least one member took it personally on that thread when I complained of those folks I usually refer to as ecoterrorists, even though I had no intention to insult anyone willing to expose an opinion contrary to mine in a reasonable way.

How would we discuss a topic like CAFE standards, which is germane to this forum, while entirely avoiding politics?
That's challenging to say the least.

No. Won't go looking but if you post a link, I'll follow it.

It's brutal out there. My friend upriver used the word 'dropped' and I offered 'exonerated' and he ordered me out of his living room.

I wanted to know what he thinks of Kayliegh Mcenany. Is it political to talk about how someone does their job? I like the way she starting flipping through a binder as the 'reporters' pose their questions.

If you watch the professor Dave guys video he accidentally let's out the best kill for man made global warming I ever seen near the end. Too bad I don't get to use it. It's only slightly flawed, but not as bad as the always wrong global warming dooms day predictions.

I had seen the S0 video, but I falsified myself and went looking for Professor Dave Explains: Debunking the Electric Universe. I only made it to 7:21. Sofa king wrong. If you have a time stamp for 'the best kill for man made global warming' I'd look. But I don't have what Elon Musk calls 'brain cycles' for the whole thing.

I listened to Musk on Rogan today (the latest episode) and I'm always a bit underwhelmed because Musk does so much talking in his head and so little verbally.

He tried to explain the 2 broken CyberTruck windows on the fact that Franz took a sledgehammer to the door first, and that it chipped the window. Maybe that'd be true if only 1 window broke.

I kinda don't care because I don't plan on utilizing the baseball sized steel ball invulnerability feature on a vehicle. Don't think that unveiling could have gone any better, because withstanding the blow wouldn't have created the publicity that failing generated.

Demos fail too often for it to be random.

www.techradar.com: 10 tech demos that went horribly wrong... Honda, Microsoft, Apple... no one is safe from demo disaster

edit:
Most Important Space Science Discovery | Dipole Scalable Universe

One would hope that discussing the Ultimate Foundation of Everything is inherently apolitical.

Quote:
there may never be another month of
Astrophysical & cosmological science
like the one we just had two core
revelations combined with pre-existing
knowledge have led to what may be the
most important space science discovery
until they find life on another planet
or one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn
our universe may be a scalable dipole
poloidal toroidal structure
2nd edit:
I'm reminded of the Bucky Fuller quote : "Unity is plural and, at minimum, is two."

If I understand Davidson the repeller and attractor are at the same place?

Oh just skip to the last few minutes, out of that 26 minute video I skipped over him beating on dead strawmen, that shortens it to under 10 minutes.
