  1. I expect the US arms industry would be a big loser, for security reasons, Europe would want to favor local arms production.

  2. American see themselves as all being in the same super-tribe they have the history together and they wave the same flag. Europeans don't see each other in that way, most of them still identify more strongly at the national level than at the Union level, they don't have that spiritual/emotional allegence to an EU super-tribe. So in terms of how they see the whole Europeans still see Europe as a group of nations, not their nation.

  5. Seems to me that a lot of those ships were included because they were well known - better to sell the book. A book featuring the truly worst warships would be a book of the worlds most obscure warships.

  6. It's weird that people don't understand that native peoples around the world were fighting inter-tribal wars tooth and nail before Europeans arrived on the scene, that Europeans were just new players in lands that had been under conflicts for millennia.

  16.  @AfroGaz71  ffs, I didn't offer theories, what I stated are facts. The IBA was dropped by the IOC, it was dropped for the reasons stated. Its s president is a Russian who has moved the operations of the IBA to Moscow. The last elections for office holders in the IBA were canceled. Gazprom has been selected as the sole sponsor of the organization, replacing all other sponsors. World Boxing has replaced the IBA in international sports. Do you think the reasons why Russia was barred from the Olympics was just a conspiracy theory that the Russian government was behind an orchestrated campaign of cheating, or that it is a fact that the Russian government was orchestrating cheating by Russian athletes?

  17. "Igor Girsky" You mean Girkin, the guy who claimed responsibility for igniting the Donbas conflict, saying: "I'm the one who pulled the trigger of war. If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out, like in Kharkiv, like in Odesa". He explained that "nobody there wanted to fight" until his unit seized Sloviansk

You can invent new definitions, traditionalists aren't obligated to adopt your definition.

  35. @calebpalmer9317  bizarre that people get excited about one tank in a conflict that has literally seen thousands destroyed. There will be more Western tanks destroyed over the next months, and many Russian tanks will also be destroyed. That's one of the realities of this war that adults understand.

  37. ​​ @Hollylivengood did you hear the mortality rate of climbers on K2? 18-25%, those attempting a rescue at high altitude would be pushing up their own chances of joining that statistic by a considerable margin. Climbing that mountain, either as a employee or client, is a hugely dangerous mission and those people know they take their life in their own hands and that their being rescued, if incapacitated at altitude, is very unlikely.

  41.  @Sulegibongtoo176  no, the vast majority of Maori in parliament are elected in the general seats, or selected by the parties under the MMP system. There are a total of 123 members of the New Zealand parliament, of those 33, so over a quarter, are Maori. As Maori are 18% of the population, those who think ethnicity is important, will be happy to know that Maori are over represented. Maori are also over represented in the government's cabinet.
    22
  42.  @Arguseyed_  you obviously have not been following the conflict very closely. Russia has used its artillery on cities like mariupol with no regard to the civilian casualties, Russian soldiers murdered civilians in Bucha, Russia has continued to target cities across Ukraine with no regard to the civilians their poorly guided missiles have endangered, injured and killed.
    22
  43.  @tanegurnick5071  chieftainship over their lands, but land could be and was sold by Maori, there were land confiscations in the wars after the treaty, but over the last 40 years settlements have been reached over those confiscations. It's not my interpretation, or your interpretation of Tino Rangatiratanga that counts, but the interpretation accepted by those signing the treaty. There's a good argument that over the last 180 years, the meaning has been changing to that which is preferred by those negotiating on behalf of Maori. What was important to the chiefs was chieftainship over the lands their tribes owned, not control over the settlers buying some of the land.
    21
  44. It's the context of the considerable increase in the number of employees in the core public sector over the last 6 years that's important 14,000 people that have contributed to a decline in the quality of government services.

  45. It's sad that Candace has fallen for Sibrel's snake oil pitch.

  46. While Russia has lost about 3000 tanks, 80% of the total active tanks they had in February 2022.
    21
  47.  @tanegurnick5071  Maori had the right to sell their land. The reason for Maori signing the treaty was the reality of their situation at the time, the musket wars cost tens of thousands of Maori lives, British sovereignty would end that arms trade and, hopefully, bring stability and prosperity. Obviously, with the subsequent wars didn't go as Maori, or the British, had hoped. I'll point out, without changing my position, that intergenerational wealth doesn't last. I've no idea what land my ancestors owned 180 years ago. If those ancestors lost land in Europe through some injustice, I've no claim. If my descendants want to own a lot of land, it's up to them to work, invest and save for it.

  48. When the wall came down in Germany in 1990 it was discovered that average IQs in West Germany and East Germany had diverged to a gap of about 8 IQ points, the West Germans having the higher average IQ. The nature of the society people live in hugely influences IQ. Personally, I think the belief that you have agency to improve your own life is a major factor.

    18
  54. What's wrong with being intersex? You guys are working on the assumption that others have a problem that some people are not of either sex, so rather than just acknowledge that they're intersex you're determined to define sex as not binary with some people not clearly members of either sex. Not being clearly member's of either sex doesn't make them less human.

  55. Would be great if they took a serious look at the criticisms in the comments - but I'm not optimistic, in a previous video they did a disgraceful cherrypick on a discussion Dawkins had.

  56. Just to correct the fake news in this video. The cruise ship departed Sydney on 8 March for a 13-night cruise to New Zealand, which was cut short due to Australian Government introducing a ban on cruise ships, so it returned to Sydney on the 19th. The Corona virus was on board the ship when it left Sydney on the 8th, the passengers were overwhelmingly Australians, at the stop in Napier passengers spread the virus to at least one person in that city. https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2003/S00523/three-new-cases-of-covid-19-in-hb-one-linked-to-cruise-ship-ruby-princess.htm So the ship did not spread the virus to Australia, the ship took passengers on at the start of the cruise in Sydney on the 8th who were already infected.

  59. Yep, it's often the "tell", when people claim they're objective, scientific and rational that they're so emersed in their preferred ideology that they're incapable how much their opinions have been captured by that ideology, but they just can't resist the digs at those they see as the enemy.
    17
  60. The importance of belief in one's agency is underrated and isn't applied to discussion on situations nearly as often as it needs to be.
    17
  61.  @CaeruleanXII  darthbludgeon gets it's right in his comment, it's an argument over semantics: how the word sound is defined. Those inclined to philosophy might define sound in terms of perception of sound waves, those with a more scientific leaning define sound as the energy and physical nature of those sound waves, that sound is analogous to light.
    15
  62. @CaeruleanXII  "does a falling tree make a sound if there's no one there to hear it" is an old trope. I first heard it 40 years ago, and it was old and tired then. It's obvious that in the OP the commenter is also well aware of the trope. This debate isn't about "lived experience", it's about the definition of sound. A physicist would usually define sound in physical terms - waves traveling through a medium, a philosopher (and other self obsessed naval gazers) might define it in terms of the perception of those waves. Dictionaries will usually define it as the physicist does.

  69. You're funny, the GMLRS rocket that himars fires is far less expensive than the missiles Buk is firing to intercept them. $168,000 per M31 GMLRS rocket, the Buk missile costs about $500,000 and they're firing 2 to intercept 1 GMLRS.

  70.  @tanegurnick5071 the Maori version granted Maori Tino Rangatiratanga, chieftainship, over their lands, dwelling places and all other possessions. As is usually the case with words from unwritten languages, Tino Rangatiratanga is a term with multiple interpretations that can change over time. The Maori version also granted the Crown complete governorship over New Zealand.

  74. Paper Title: "The Flynn effect in Korea: Large gains." Abstract: "...what the size of the Flynn effect in South Korea is. The gains per decade are 7.7 points for persons born between 1970 and 1990." That's gains of about 23 IQ points over 3 decades, similar to gains that occurred in Japan decades earlier. I'd bet big money that the average IQ of South Koreans is now at least 25 points higher than the average IQ of North Koreans, who continue to live in a primitive authoritarian society.

  82. Every year the US retires or throws away billions of dollars of older military equipment, they have thousands of Abrams tanks sitting in storage. Almost all the stuff they're throwing to Ukraine was going to be thrown somewhere, and with a lot of the munitions it's actually cheaper to ship it than decommission it.

  83. Heck of a lot of comments criticizing Woodford's and Valkai's claims. Their response? Must be sexist, genderist Christian bigots. Ahh, nope, like me, most of your critics on this are your atheist subscribers.
    12
  84. The Foreign Legion was probably the best military unit the French had, why? Because they were soldiers through and through with very little else in their lives, most soldiers have family to return to, not so these PMC soldiers, they volunteer to join these units to find a family.

  95. "End Russia's global narrative" To me, it means end the propaganda about the conflict that Russia is getting away with spreading.
    11
  96. I think the cop got it exactly right. The old codger didn't believe he was acting illegally, so had no intent to break the law. To throw him in jail for unlawful detention or kidnapping would be ludicrous. He appears likely to be moving into senility and room for taking his cognitive decline into account.
    11
  97. @ClayCarson-t2l  what amazes me is the hubris of people making judgements without any knowledge, and accepting Sibrel's claims without question.
    10
  98. @reaper666-kp8zm  so in your fantasy 60,000x28=1.7 million eliminated, presumably 4 million more injured and out of action. That would be all of the men suitable for military service. So why hasn't Russia reached Kyiv? Answer: the figures offered by Russia are nonsense. Yes, Russian casualties are likely greater than Ukraine casualties because Russia has been trying harder to advance, and casualties are expected to be higher for the attacking force. That's the nature of warfare.

  114. I just watched a speech from her in which she emphasized the importance of individuality, the importance of recognizing and respecting our individual uniqueness, and she contrasted that with the modern identity politics of the left which emphasizes the importance of our race, our gender, and how that race and gender identity is more important than our identity as individuals. And as usual now those leftists are tarring the right with the label "fascist" when their own politics better fit that label.

  121. What's your take on "gender is a social construct"? If I understand the meaning, this suggests that transgender people who feel they are in a body of the wrong sex don't have that feeling based on something innate in them, it's somehow a product of social conditioning.

The Royal navy had 15" gun battleships in 1915, no navy today has anything close to 15" gun battleships today. There are numerous examples where specific engineering capabilities have be abandoned because they're not required, are too costly, or have been superceded by other technology.

There were no contradictions, only a failure by the conspiracy theorists to understand the context of the question and the context of the answers.

Without two hands on the pot she doesn't have control of it. She's just stopping it landing on her. From a height of 1.2 metres, falling free, water hits the ground at 4.7m/s. As it splashes it'll produce a lot of stream, with the water and steam moving across the floor at a similar speed. That easily explains the steam appearing from behind the counter that quickly.

  171. "Girl", "Woman", "boy" and "man" are not just words in english that have been used to label human females and males for nearly a thousand years. They've been the primary words for that function ("is it a boy or girl?") and for most I expect will continue to do so as their utility in that role is too high for them to be converted into gender terms. So, given that the push to change the meaning of such basic terms with such a high use and utility has been orchestrated by a minority of the population and against the interests of the majority, of course there's going to be push back against such linguistic piracy. Compare this piracy to the change in the meaning of the word "gay", it had already evolved from simply carefree to, in the 1950s, lackadaisical with an edge of promiscuity, and it was never an important word in English, it was an alternative to more commonly used words with similar meaning. If we need words to denote genders (and I agree we do) there are obvious options in "femme" and "masc", which were already serving or close to serving as gender terms.

  173. We can argue over this, but we're all working with partial knowledge. Likely she has XY, but we don't know if it's Swyer syndrome or Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. With Swyer there's no male puberty. There are 3 recognized degrees of AIS: mild, partial and complete. She's not MAIS, that's presents with male genitalia, if PAIS she can have elevated testosterone compared to women, but not to male levels, with CAIS she would have female testosterone levels and not have gone through any form of male puberty. For now it is more reasonable to assume that it's swyer syndrome or CAIS she has, and is phenotypically a female. I'll point out that the punch only hurt her opponents nose, it didn't concuss her or knock her out. Khelif is a professional boxer, her opponent was an amateur. Khelif's record in terms of win by knockouts is similar to the other semi finalists.

  183. @marshalljulie3676  SMH. Russia had around 3500 tanks in its active inventory when it invaded in February 2022, the rest of the famed 12 or 13,000 tanks were in storage and dated back to WW2. Most of those were stored outside without proper preparation and had remained unmoved for decades, through many Russian winters. Those are the tanks that Russia is now working to get back into operation mostly they're T62's and T54/55's. They've evidently moved several thousand around, trying to get some operational tanks out of what are essentially junk yards. These older models will not have anything like the capability of modern tank: able to fire accurately on the move, equipped with night sights, equipped with computer gun laying systems, equipped with larger caliber modern guns. Also most of those tanks in storage were put into storage at the end of their service life and those storage/junk yards were used as a source for spare parts.

Meaning the problems he's working on, on the spacecraft he's working on, must be solved before that spacecraft can be used to send people through that region of space. He's an engineer, not a doctor, he's talking about the issues he's dealing with, which have nothing to do with the direct effects of radiation on people, rather, he's referring to the threat to people on board that a failure of his electronics would pose.

The 15,000 you claim (actually about 14,000) is for all deaths on both sides in the Donbas conflict, civilian deaths are about 3,500, again on both sides, and since Zelensky was elected in 2019, the number of civilians killed in active military operations has dropped to about 10 a year on both sides, mostly through artillery, which was flying in both directions. With it's invasion Russia increased the civilian death rate a thousand fold.

  208.  @Flight042  I've looked at the Police Activity footage. Look again at Nate's timing of the shots. He's shooting downwards, the recoil is pushing his arms up. Nate's timing has the shots fired causing his arms to recoil downwards. That doesn't make sense. He tells her to put the pot down, she puts it on the counter, when it's sitting on the counter he again tells her to put the &^%$ pot down. Obviously he was still angry with her putting it where she did and she picks it up to put it on the floor. Then she sees him coming around the counter, angry, gun in her face, he's towering over her. That's when she really panics, instinct takes over, she starts to put her hands up. With oven gloves, she starts to lose control of the pot, it's still mostly upright when he fires his first shot. Her left arm comes down, at this point she has no real control over the pot, at most she can push with her right hand to stop it landing on her. For her to push it towards Grayson her right hand would have to be behind the pot from Grayson's perspective. It is not, from his view it's clearly on the left side of the pot.

Obviously, he wasn't happy with where she'd put it, so she tried to move it to the floor. Then she saw him coming around the counter, angry, menacing, in her last moments, panicking, she tried to put her hands up. With oven mitts on, she started to lose control of it. His first shot was when the pot was just starting to fall, her left hand came down, with only her right hand on it she had no control over it, at most she could push it sideways with her right hand to stop in landing on her. She could not push it towards Grayson with one hand unless that hand was behind the pot from Grayson's perspective. It was not. From his perspective, her hand was on the left side of the pot.

"Wagner's law, known as the law of increasing state spending, is a principle named after the German economist Adolph Wagner (1835–1917).[1] He first observed it for his own country and then for other countries. The theory holds that for any country, that public expenditure rises constantly as income growth expands. The law predicts that the development of an industrial economy will be accompanied by an increased share of public expenditure in gross national product: The advent of modern industrial society will result in increasing political pressure for social progress and increased allowance for social consideration by industry. Wagner's law suggests that a welfare state evolves from free market capitalism due to the population voting for ever-increasing social services as general income levels grow across broad spectrums of the economy.

You're applying the morals of the world you live in today to a world that was completely different, in that other world most people died during childhood, if you had 6 children chances were that 3 to 4 of them would die when children, being the master gave you and your kids a better chance of survival than being the slave, but being the slave gave you and your children a much better chance of survival than if you were homeless, living on the street with your sons thieving to survive and your daughters selling their bodies for sex. So "their immediate emancipation with adequate compensation" was not a great prospect you imagine. Today we are lucky enough to live in a rich world, rich largely due to our technology, it means we live in a non-zero sum population world, for our children to survive other peoples children don't have to die. So if you ever magically find yourself back in that world, hang on to whatever form of food income you have, even if it's just as a slave.

  271. ​@TheAk1292 color blindness doesn't mean being unaware of race. It means assigning no or very little importance to it. Of course we all have many characteristics that others assign qualities to, both consciously and subconsciously: sex, height, weight, age, hair color and style, accent, dress, voice characteristics, attitude, behaviors. These assessments we make are at least in part involuntary, and probably can't be dialed to zero, but we can choose to assigned any of them a very low importance.

    5
  276. @kaone3151  given that the Soviet Union acknowledged the moon landings happened at the time, and that spacecraft from China, Japan, India and South Korea have confirmed the existence of the lunar landing sites in recent years with photos, I'd say there is a lot of evidence that the lunar landings are real. You still have offered no evidence to the contrary.

  279. ​ @jc6800 they didn't record the actual landing, other than from the lander itself. The launch back to lunar orbit was the ascent stage, which used the descent stage as a launch platform, the ascent stage then met up with the command and service module in lunar orbit. Only the command and service module then headed back to Earth.

  285. The location of the border between Finland and Russia isn't in dispute, and with a small Russian transgression, Nato would only need a small response. Nato could largely restrict its response to the invaded Finish territory, and, frankly, I suspect Finland would need little help to eject any Russian invasion. So even if only Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, and the UK came to Finlands aid, Russia would face defeat.

  288. Africa turned to socialism and the communist block because they were seen as the opposite of, and opposition to the colonial powers. Communism itself gained popularity in Russia and China because it was seen as the opposite of, and opposition to the imperialism of those in power. It takes at least a couple of generations for the people to get passed the fanaticism of the earlier generations. I think we're now seeing a transition in Africa towards and appreciation of democracy and market systems with Africans now seeing through the faults in the alternatives.

  289. @Judith Arnett  Russia had the motive; it reduced the options to the Ukrainians for their offensive, and Russia had the means, it was a massive explosion from within the dam that destroyed it, it's very difficult to explain how Ukraine could have planted the huge amounts of explosives when the dam has been under Russian control for a year. Ukraine also has every intention to reclaim the whole of the Kherson oblast, now they'll have to find the billions of dollars to rebuild the dam.

Indian officials claimed to have shot down one F-16 belonging to Pakistan air force. This was denied by the Pakistani side, considered dubious by neutral sources, and later backed by a report by Foreign Policy magazine, reporting that the US had completed a physical count of Pakistan's F-16s and found none missing.

Many people have.

  314.  @CorwinFound  thanks for your thoughtful response. I do however think that your reply, with the evidence that I know Valkai has referred to in the past, pushes the weight of evidence towards a biological rather than social basis for gender. Obviously gender EXPRESSION is largely cultural, but I think gender orientation, like sexual orientation, is based on innate characteristics, though not necessarily heritable. I'm strong on evolution psychology, and when I see other primates adhering to gender roles, I think that's good evidence that it's instinctive. A couple of analogies: I think we have social instincts that shape human morality - but society has an overlay of cultural morality. Cake might be a social construct, but food is a biological necessity, dressing food up as a cake doesn't alter the fact that the cake is still food.

  320. @gooflydo  the amount of steel in a naval fleet is small compared to the amount of steel used in the rest of a typical western countries economy. European countries don't have carriers because global force projection isn't a priority for them. Keep in mind that a carrier, as the name suggests, isn't a weapon, it's the aircraft it carries that are armed. (The carrier does have short range SAM'S, irrelevant to the point). No, the US did not make the colonial powers relinquish their colonies, they were relinquished because once trade was established, the need for political control of them was greatly reduced and not worthwhile in terms of cost. To illustrate, if the UK wants oil from Kuwait or bauxite from Australia, is an occupation force cheaper, or is it cheaper to just buy the stuff in the international markets? Once the locals are able to produce the desired goods, obviously it's cheaper just to buy them.

  324. The main advantage for Ukraine is that it opens up the ability to potentially use the West's main military advantage - air launched munitions. The Soviet Union's strength was artillery and air defense, the west's airpower, so the stocks of air launched munitions in the West is vast, artillery rounds not so much.

  340. The people who hop on the conspiracy bandwagon have no understanding of the science and engineering involved in building Apollo and going to the Moon. After decades of being involved Sibrel should know, but he never debates anyone knowledgeable, he never responds to serious refutations of his claims, many of the claims he makes demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the basic science and engineering involved in Apollo.

  355. @kittycat3015  well, Putin once said Russia could conquer Ukraine in 2 weeks if it wanted to. For the last year, apart from the efforts of Wagner - now off of the battlefield, Russian forces have been going backwards. The intensity of attacks from Russian forces has steadily declined over the last 16 months, gone are the mass missile attacks on Kyiv, now it's just a few drones occasionally, gone are the 20,000 artillery rounds a day, now it's in the low thousands - or less - a day.

  371. http://berkeleyearth.org/understanding-adjustments-temperature-data/ There are a couple of tricks to watch out for, often skeptic commentators will focus of the US contiguous states data, tricking you into thinking it's global data and when they claim that adjustments have increased the apparent rate of warming they are certainly referring to the US data, in the US the adjustments have had a significant effect. The reason the adjustments in the US data has had such a large effect is due to a US wide trend towards taking measurement earlier in the day, before daily temperatures reach their maximum, as was the systemic method of data collection in earlier times. Also the skeptics like to point out that the US has not warmed since the 1930's, this is true - but only because, in picking the 1930's as their reference point, the skeptics are cherry-picking an exceptionally warm period in the US contiguous states climate history - the dust-bowl era, the US is now returning to the temperatures experienced at that time.

Not a single physicist that's studied the Belts has claimed they can't be circumvented or traversed.

About a month ago Sibrel had an interview with Bob Frantz, Frantz referenced Rogan's suggestion of a debate, asking Sibrel if it was on the agenda. After much dodging and wriggling, Sibrel came out and said that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims. His justification was that people who have the knowledge to challenge his claims are just "boyscouts". The implication being that debating them would be beneath him.

The 'secret' video was taken from 2 TV broadcasts done at the time, a 15 minute unscheduled broadcast when they were 50,000 nautical miles out on day 1, and a 35 minute sceduled broadcast on day 2 when they were 130,000 nautical miles out. Those complete broadcasts prove Sibrels claims false. And that the filming was actually through a square window. The word "talk"(?) is heard on the day 1 broadcast, at that distance from Earth the delay is 0.65 seconds, throughout that 15 minute broadcast the delay between Capcom and the astronauts IS less than a second.
    4
  409. @Jessicad9304  the reason why they could do the moon missions with far less mass than the original proposals (or Elon's more recent plans) is because of the radically different mission architecture. The Saturn V stack of Apollo had 7 distinct stages to get them 2 the moon and back, all but the last, the command module, we're thrown away during each mission, the other proposals involved high levels of reusability. Von Braun's original included an entire construction space station in Earth orbit.
    4
  410.  @Jessicad9304  Sibrel has recently stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims. That's why you'll see him talking to friendly nonexperts like Candace and Rogan, never his critics like Tim Dodds or any scientist or engineer who's studied the Apollo's program.
    4
  411. I think Rogan really struggled on unfamiliar territory. Rogan even suggested there needed to be a debate between Sibrel and someone more qualified. A couple of weeks ago, when asked about that by another YouTuber, Sibrel stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

  416. @someonesomeone25  it's a belief in moral cause that's at the root of the harm you're alluding to, that could be religious, but it can also be an anti-religious moral cause.
    4
  417. @liammccann8763  human nature is the ultimate determination of morality. If humans were not social animals, we wouldn't have social morality. In terms of social morality, it changes as society changes. In times where strong social cohesion is advantageous, moral codes that promote that cohesion are stronger, in times of wealth and security, such strict moral codes are less popular. Religions that can survive through hugely diverse times can do so because scripture is vast and can be interpreted to fit the needs of society. For example the acceptable views on sex out of wedlock held by Christian's today vs 1000 or 100 years ago.

  418. The word "firmament", to non flat earthers (95% of the population) and modern engineers and scientists like Von Braun, just means the expanse of the universe.
    4
  419. ​@SkepticAurora flat Earthers think everyone else is more ignorant than they. They imagine there are only a few smarter than they are and that those few smart people are in on it. Ask them how it is that there's a pressure gradient in the atmosphere, or how it is that tens of thousands of vessels, including small yachts, cross oceans navigating on the globe and get to their destinations in the time and across the distances the crew expect and the flat earther will run away.

  420. Everlasting peace between China and India can be achieved by just having China appoint the leadership of the Indian government.

  432. ​@icantwiththis my 8 yr old, for a few months, was a T-Rex, making T-Rex roars that made his father feel . . . Uncomfortable when it happened in public. It's unclear from the panel discussion if the cat child being referred to was actually being affirmed as a cat by the teacher or if the teacher was simply trying to deflect some of the bullying that such behavior will attract from other kids.

  434. "Gender is a social construct" If so people in male bodies that see themselves as female choose to have that gender disphoria, rather than it being something beyond their psychological control. Perhaps for many these days that's true, being trans is trendy, but I'm certain that gender disphoria is a genuine condition, rather than being a "social construct".

  440. Do you think a clip of a few seconds, selected for the purpose of discrediting the astronauts, is likely to be a fair representation of them throughout a press conference that lasted for over an hour? Perhaps you should take yourself seriously and watch the entire thing.
    4
  441. @kaone3151  if you watched the whole conference you'd know that they were more relaxed than that. You'd also know why the Van Allen Belts aren't the problem you imagine.

Or are you claiming Sydney isn't a woman? She looks like a woman to me :-) Do you apply those same claims about "all women" to Janice Fiamengo and Bettina Arndt as well? Or do you think they aren't women either?
    4
  451. I see Sibrel played a version missing the abuse and slander he fired at Aldrin.
    4
  452. It's only convincing because you don't know how thoroughly Sibrel's claims have been proven false.

  453. Must be a bot, same comment has been posted several times and refuted. There was no agreement to remove US missiles from Europe, only the Jupiter missiles from Turkey.

    4
  463. @AyloynOwlFeather if you're referring to the photo at 2;54, the shadow you think from the flag is actually from the solar wind composition experiment out of frame to the left of the photo. The shadow of the flag pole is hard to spot, just past Aldrin's shadow, the shadow of the flag out of frame to the right.

  465.  @djglass7883  incidentally, Grayson is a psychopath, when they speak to her at the door she expresses her fear of being harmed by them. Normal people in that situation will have empathy and try to reassure someone, to a psychopath a timid worried person like that is just an opportunity to bully. He was looking for an excuse throughout and her innocuous "I rebuke you . . ." Was the excuse he needed. He even crossed in front of the other officer - an incredably unprofessional but assertive thing to do, to be in at the kill (even if the excuse for an actual kill didn't materialize).

  466. @djglass7883  stop whining. You say he's great, I largely agree. But in this video however, you know, the one your comment is under, I think he's made a bad mistake.

  467. There isn't a single person who's studied the Van Allen Belts who says that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts.

    4
  469. @nicholaswheatley8102  24 astronauts went to the moon. The lunar missions were tracked by staff at 3 tracking and communications stations in California, Spain and Australia. The sets would have needed to be built and dismantled, camera crews, editing, lighting security. Sibrel's claims are absurd.

  475. Quarterbacking aside, after she put the pot on the bench he threateningly demanded that she put it down, so she was looking to put it down further. She was terrified. Then as he advanced angrily she instinctively tried to put her hands up, he then fired (was she hit?) She lost her grip on the hot pot (oven gloves) and was at most, (again instinctively) trying to stop it land on her. The pot falling as it did is not evidence of it being thrown, nor is the steam appearing from the end of the counter, from 1.2 metres up in freefall the pot hits the floor at 4.7m/s, it would produce a lot of steam and the water would splash, releasing more steam.
    4
  476. ​ @wakinglife7065 you mean the Aldrin and Zoey discussion? You should watch the whole discussion, rather than the snippet that the grifters misrepresent.
    4
  477. There's a commenter: takeittothelordinprayer, who describes himself as a friend of Sibrel's. Every time I point out that Sibrel never takes on interviews with people knowledgeable enough to challenge his claims, and suggest he look at the evidence against Sibrel's claims, he deletes his comments (and my reply with it), and then reposts his comment a few minutes later. I think his strategy - never allow a dissenting voice and never look at the contrary evidence, very Sibrel-like.
    4
  478. Yeah, others have gone there remotely: China, India, Japan and South Korea. And photographed the landing sites, confirming that 6 times America landed astronauts on the moon.

    4
  484.  @garyolsen4160  no such people who look "just like them", those claimed to be them have histories, families, since birth. The bodies were found and recovered.

    4
  486. ​ @mrghettodaddy7245 it's been proven many times, you're just incapable of understanding the proof.
    4
  487. Perhaps you should look up the extensive critiques of Sibrel's claims. His claims fall apart like wet paper. Anyone can arrange a load of rocks in the morning sun as they are in Sibrel's favorite moon photo and get the same shadows. The footage in transit to the moon he claims were secret, was actually taken from 2 tv broadcasts, broadcasts totalling 50 minutes that prove his claims about that footage false.
    4
  488.  @CouldKnowMe  I feel the same way. Nate the Lawyer had video up in which he said she was throwing the water. From his commentary it was clear he thought the first shot was fired seconds after it actually was. His video is no longer up. Perhaps he reexamined the evidence.

  498. @triiileigh  if the pot freefell from 1.2 metres it hits the floor at 4.7m/s, if it holds a gallon, that water is going to splash and spread over several feet of the floor, the steam is going to spread above the hot water. If it lands close to her, it's still going to quickly appear on the floor at the end of the counter.

  502. Maybe the jury decided based on evidence rather than speculation and supposition, isn't that what they're supposed to do?
    4

  505. Putin claims genocide in the Donbas, but for the 4 years prior to the February invasion the UN puts the number of civilians killed on both sides at between 20 and 30 each year with a declining trend, the conflict was on the point of dwindling away. What is the impression Russians have of the number of deaths in recent years in the Donbas prior to the February invasion?
    4
  506. "As brutal as what happened in Syria" You are totally disconnected from reality.

    4
  516. Entirely correct. Sibrel avoids the evidence that contradicts his claims. A common strategy of conmen, grifters and other snake oil salesmen.
    4
  517. Nothing wrong with liking Russians, most of them being likable doesn't make them right or free of being misled by their leadership. Most Russians have become disconnected from politics, they've been trained to trust their political masters.

  518. Your Italian flight attendant can only speak for herself, not Italians, not the rest of the world.

  519. Why don't you critically examine the evidence, rather than reaching a conclusion before studying the evidence? Would that be too radical, or just too much effort?
    4
  520. It's like this: The conspiracy theorists believe that they're naturally more insightful and smarter than the majority of other people, who they see as sheep, following the narrative laid out by authorities. This need to feel superior leaves them open for people like Sibrel who are willing to supply them with an anti establishment narrative that so strongly appeals to their hubris. They're incapable of understanding that true knowledge and understanding requires time, critical thought and effort, and that there are in fact a lot of people who have questioned the details, looked at the case Sibrel and others try to build, and find that what's on offer from the conspiracy theorists doesn't stack up.
    4
  521. Yes, and?
    4
  522. Very noticeable at times "man" or "woman" was used in the discussion when, according to their definitions they should have been using "male" or "female".
    4
  523. The knowledge is still there, it wasn't destroyed. The hardware was destroyed in terms of most of it being at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean or on the moon. Artemis will hopefully never fly because of its cost. Starship will get us back to the moon sooner and at a fraction of the cost.
    4
  524. Well, if you wanted people to go back, why didn't you put up the money to make it happen?
    4
  525. Yes, Newton was on the money, and rockets work in accordance to Newton's Laws.
    4
  526. ​ @user-Rocket-Fest " Newton's third law of motion is primarily responsible for rocket propulsion. A rocket engine ejects hot exhaust gases in one direction, and in response, the rocket experiences an equal and opposite thrust, propelling it forward. This action-reaction pair is the fundamental principle behind how rockets launch into space."
    4
  527. Perhaps you should watch Tim Dodd's recent video that looks at Sibrel's claims.
    4
  528. Several of his claims are flat-out lies. The secret video of Earth on the way to the moon were tv network broadcasts. Not one person who's studied the Van Allen Belts claims that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. He often edits video to deceive by removing context.
    4
  529. He certainly knows that the mass needed to be launched to get to the moon and back was reduced from the initial high estimates by using a radically different mission architecture. Throwing stages away rather than reusing them, there were 7 pieces in the Saturn-Apollo stack. The only piece that wasn't thrown away throughout the mission was the tiny command module.
    4
  530. No, Russia is begging Iran, China, Belarus, and North Korea instead.
    4
  531. Sibrel manages to get away with his lies because his audience is uneducated, and he avoids any debate in which his claims would be seriously challenged.
    4
  532. ​ @marcmayhem0412 she picked it up because he told her to put it &^%$ down when it was sitting on the counter, he obviously wasn't happy with where it was, so she tried to move it to the floor, then, seeing seeing him so close she tried to put her hands up, lost control of the pot, was only trying to stop it landing on her.
    4
  533. No, a shyster and grifter.
    4
  534. The amazing bit is how Sibrel gets away with so many lies.
    4
  535. ​@redflipper992 you're a pet of Sibrel
    4
  536. 10:55, you mean "marked them as terrorists"
    4
  537. The evidence is that Sibrel is the one lying. Which is why (he admits) he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.
    4
  538. I don't believe Russia deliberately targeted the hospital, but bellingcat's analysis of the video of the missile ("Russian missile identified in Kyiv children's hospital attack") makes it beyond doubt that it was a kh-101. I assume that, unlike other supporters of Russia, you don't claim that the deaths and injuries of civilians on the beach near Servastopol was a deliberate attack?
    4
  539. The reasons why Putin thought he could defeat Ukraine with such a relatively small force were: 1. He saw Zelensky as a clown. 2. He thought Zelensky would cut and run, or if he didn't, that his main force attacking Kyiv would capture Zelensky. 3. He thought once Zelensky was dealt with, the Ukraine military would disintegrate. 4. He thought Zelensky had become so unpopular with Ukrainians and that they admired Russia, that few would even fight the invaders.

The company conducted 2,771 production and R&D firing tests of single engines, 1,110 total full duration tests, and accumulated 239,124 seconds—over 66 hours—of engine firing experience. The five-engine cluster used on the Saturn V was fired at the Mississippi and Alabama test facilities 34 times, with 18 full duration tests for a total of 15,534 seconds of engine experience."

  565. When the word "talk"(?) is heard, it was the day 1 broadcast, the spacecraft was about 95,000km from Earth. At that distance the round trip radio delay is about 0.65 seconds. The day 1 broadcast was about 15 minutes long, and that the delay was less than a second is obvious throughout the conversation between the astronauts and Houston.

  566. Untrue

  574. Kids from poor and broken homes in poorer neighborhoods don't get the same family support that kids from wealthier and more stable homes get, that's where the problem starts, these kids often appear more mature because they've been less protected, they've been made harder, more staunch, kids. Monique W. Morris doesn't appear to understand this, rather she cuts straight to the schools, blaming the schools for not being better parents. While schools have a duty of care, it is not the schools job to be a substitute parent. Having said that, obviously there is a need to improve the climate and parenting in many poorer homes, and it is asking people to lift themselves off the ground by pulling on their own bootstraps just to say: "It's the parents fault, they have to fix it." It will take community support to change adult mindsets in those homes, but that's where the solutions need to be worked because that's where the problems start.

    4
  577. @KonradvonHotzendorf  no motor, no propeller. It's propelled by the interaction of its initial depth, buoyancy, and hydroplanes in the same way a glide bomb used altitude, weight, and wings. It wouldn't be fast, but it would be extremely quiet and so stealthy. Military submarines almost never use active sonar, relying instead on passive sonar.

  608. Regarding Woodford's earlier castle analogy, in which he argues that language is imprecise, words evolve and therefore women can have penises. Can I point out that it's not just a case of extending the means of the words "man" and "woman", which traditionally have meant adult human male and female respectively. If it were merely a case of extending the meaning, describing a transwoman (with male biology) as a "man" would be perfectly reasonable because, biologically, she's a male. What is required is for the traditionally meaning, as referring to sex, to be canceled and banned, and that the word only ever be used to denote gender. That's a complete redefining of the words "man" and "woman", two words that until today, and for nearly a thousand years, have had extremely high utility as nouns for adult human males and females, there simply are no substitute words with the same utility and meaning. "Male" and "female" apply to almost all animals and many plants, and apply to all ages, not just adults, other words like "lady", "dame" and "gentlemen" and "bloke" usually apply to subsets of "women" and "men".

  612. They can't go now because they haven't, in recent years, built any spacecraft to go. They haven't built them because the government hasn't budgeted the money to build them.

  616. Why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude?
    3
  617. These are the molecular masses of the main components of the atmosphere (excluding H2O): CO2 44 Argon 40 Oxygen 32 Nitrogen 28 Air pressure at 10,000 metres (about the height airliners fly at) is a quarter of the air pressure at ground level. How could we get such a difference in air pressure from the separation of the gases in the atmosphere? If such a separation did happen, people at sea level would be smothered in CO2 and argon, and airliners at 10,000m would be smothered with nitrogen.

  623. @Lostartsradio  I've looked at your second interview with Sibrel. You do not know where his falsehoods are obvious. Did you ask him about the photos of the Apollo landing sites taken from Lunar orbiting spacecraft from China, India and South Korea? Did you ask him for an expert on the Van Allen Belts who's claimed that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts? Did you ask him why he offers material from 2 tv broadcasts during the transit to the moon and ask him why he claims the snippets he shows were secret - when they've been in the public domain for 55 years?
    3
  624.  @Lostartsradio  did you ask him why there should be a 4 second delay (referring to the supposed CIA voice) when the spacecraft was only 95,000km from Earth, when the round trip radio delay is only 0.65 seconds, an obvious reality when you listen to the 15 minute TV transmission in which that word "talk"(?) is included?

  643. @junetalon8796  I just watched a video by Forrest Valkai from 2 years back entitled Sex and Sensibility. He gets onto gender at about the 17 minute mark, stating "gender is a social construct", gives the usual arguments about men in dressed, girls as mechanics to support the "social construct" claim, but then goes on to explain how gender roles in other species are a product of biology - and then emphasizes that in humans gender is a product of the physiological brain structure - that it's males with female brain characteristics that are usually the ones with gender disphoria. Can you explain his claim that "gender is a social construct" given the evidence he then goes on to offer that gender is a product of biology? Am I (we) missing something, or has a Forrest fallen out of its tree?
    3
  644. @junetalon8796  Valkai didn't differentiate between gender roles and gender identity, in the video I reference, nor does Woodford in this video, the claim is "gender is a social construct" in both cases. Given the importance of biology in gender identity (overwhelmingly important) and how that would be a very considerable influence on gender roles (men hunt, women gather, men do things, women do people) I take the position that the "social construct" contribution to "gender identity" is negligible and to gender roles in any meaningful way small. So why the sweeping "gender is a social construct" claim when that is almost entirely not the case? Must be ideology is more important than science to Forrest.
    3
  645. @junetalon8796  The societies we live in in the West have been changed massively over the last century by technology and wealth. 100 years ago, keeping a family home in order was a full-time job, so required a full-time homemaker. Today appliances like washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and heat pumps, along with instant hot water and quick and easy shopping trips in cars to get food largely already prepared has reduced house keeping to a couple of hours a day. Additionally, technology has brought about inexpensive mass education and most employment being far less physical. The Western Europe of 100 years ago is in many ways more like the Middle East and India of today than the Western Europe of today, and as other parts of the world become wealthier they will also become more Western in culture. Conversely, if civilization crumbled tomorrow and Europe returned to the technology and energy availability of two centuries ago, poverty would quickly see a return to a similar culture and education levels of two centuries ago. To illustrate my point, I will mention that the life expectancy of 1920's Western Europe was less than it is in Africa today.

Putin isn't defending Russia from the West's military NATO has no capacity to be the aggressor, he's defending himself from the spread of democracy, free speech and free society is what Putin fears and wants to keep far from Russia. The justification that Ukraine needs to be part of Russia because that's where Russian culture originated is as legitimate an argument as saying that Americans need to have the UK as part of their country because that's the origins of their culture and language.

  661. @HANSMKAMP  the US didn't force Yanukovych to run away, the Ukrainian people did that. They revolted against their president, as did their parliament, after Yanukovych announced that he was going back on his promise to get Ukraine into the EU. An association agreement had been agreed, which Yanukovych, after a chat with Putin, refused to sign, instead announcing that Ukraine would instead join the Eurasian Economic Union, an economic alliance currently composed of 5 former Soviet states. Here's the shocker, Ukrainians didn't throw their president out on behalf of the US, they threw him out on behalf of themselves. The narrative you've bought into is straight from the Kremlin. The US didn't have any resources in Ukraine to remove a president, and Victoria Nuland doesn't have super-villain mind control powers that enable her to control hundreds of thousands of people, causing them to revolt against their elected president. It was Yanukovych's own actions that led to his downfall.

Lunar orbiting spacecraft from China, India, Japan and South Korea have, in recent years, confirmed the existence of the lunar landing sites.

  675. @Lili Dežman  you offer nothing that supports your conclusion, the Soviet Union and the US were far stronger than Russia today, especially if we compare their strength to that of Afghanistan and compare Russia's strength to that of a nato armed and trained Ukraine. The same applies if we compare Israel's strength with its adversaries back then. Ultimately the motivation of the people of a country is a major factor. The Russian motivation has been noticeably lacking compared to that of Ukrainians. Putin's own strategy in this war is a demonstration of this. If the Russian people were committed to the "special military operation" Putin would have called up all the men required to defeat Ukraine from the start, Instead he's even avoided calling it a war and passed laws banning Russia's from calling it a war. He's done this because he doesn't think Russians are motivated enough to commit to the conflict enmass, Ukrainians clearly are committed to the defense of their country. Russia is going to lose. Russia has had one arm tied behind its back by Putin from the start, while Ukraine has been supplied with a lot of extra military muscle.

  676. ​@WinkyFromNorthChicago74 the existence of the 6 landing sites has been confirmed by lunar orbiters from China, India, Japan and South Korea. Your claim that astronauts have said the Van Allen Belts are impassable is false. Kelly Smith is an electronics engineer who was working on the Orion capsule. The video in question was a promotion for an unmanned test flight of Orion to the moon. He was saying that they needed to ensure that the electronics of Orion were safe before they could send people on Orion into that region of space.

  677. ​ @WinkyFromNorthChicago74 "Armstrong told a little girl". The video you're referring to is an edited version of a discussion between Aldrin and Zoey. The original 17 minute video starts with them talking about his experiences going to the moon. Later in the discussion she asks why no one has been back in such a long time. It was that question he was answering, saying he didn't know why no one has been to the moon since Apollo.
    3
  678. ​ @WinkyFromNorthChicago74 all 6 Apollo landings were in the early morning, leaving before local midmorning. In that environment, cooling of the interior of the lander was a simple matter of pumping the ethylene glycol they used for active thermal control to radiators on the side of the lander that was in shadow and therefore exposed to the cold of space.

In the video at Gen Z Attorney (11;25) you can see both the pot in the chair (actually a small bucket) and the actual pot, in the same frame, as cop 2 picks up the actual pot from near her body and, holding it with a cloth, for some reason, puts it on the floor behind him by moving it back between his legs (don't ask me why he did that), at that point he'd managed to dislodge the bucket from the chair, allowing it to fall to the floor. He also moved other objects around in the crime scene (a barbers chair), for I've no idea what reason.

  687. @junetalon8796  we also see it in some schools, those that encourage woke ideology, but not in others. If we look at those with gender disphoria we find the incidence of this condition is far higher in those with childhood trauma, especially sexual abuse.
    3
  688. @junetalon8796  woke ideology is a self congratulatory belief held by people who see themselves as morally superior to others in society on the basis that they see themselves as being awake to social injustices that they view others as being blind to. A lot like other religious beliefs that also look down on those blind to their faith. The adherents of these religions see confirmation in their beliefs in all things, this ability to see evidence in support of their beliefs everywhere is call confirmation bias. High correlation with childhood trauma is indicative that that trauma likely contributes to the gender disphoria, evidence that in many cases the disphoria is not innate. If a person has had childhood trauma that leads to a condition that causes them difficulty in later life, the usual treatment is to recognize the condition and treat it, not to affirm the condition as normal for that person. Western society is happy to live with gay people and transpeople, generally gay people are happy to live with the rest of society without demanding special rights, like, for example, demanding that members of one sex be treated as members of the opposite sex or being addressed as members of the opposite sex, having certain privileges that are given to people of the opposite sex, including entering those spaces reserved for members of the opposite sex.

  690.  @stefaniasmanio859  assuming you're gushing over Monbiot's speech for its content rather than style I have to ask why? Monbiot attacks "neo-liberalism" by which he means the current economic system that is transforming the world, making the world richer and all countries that have adopted the current western economic system richer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usdJgEwMinM Monbiot claims the system has failed, he offers no evidence supporting that contention, indeed, all the evidence supports the contention that Monbiot is dead wrong about the current economic system being a failure, the Earth's population is richer and happier today than at any time in history (as Hans Rosling demonstrates in the above link and as Steven Pinker demonstrates in his book Enlightenment Now. You state "I think that my students are going to learn this speech by heart... " That's super creepy, and illustrates how the modern education system has become captured by the ideology of many teachers. I can't imagine a good teacher ever threatening his/her students with rote learning of the speech of a journalist of no great accomplishment, rather, I'd hope a good teacher would emphasis the importance of critical thinking, of not accepting just the ideological view point most preferred by the teacher and slavishly memorizing a speech expressing that view point, your commitment to forcing your students into memorizing Monbiot's speech reminds me of how the Chinese were expected to memorize Mao's Little Red Book - to the exclusion of any opinions that contradicted Mao.

  696. Which is why all the apollo missions landed after the lunar sunrise and left well before the local lunar noon. So were there when the temperatures were moderate. Also understand that a vacuum doesn't have a temperature and is an exceptionally good insulator. Only the top couple of inches of the soil has those large temperature ranges.

  709. You imagine you're knowledgeable, but you are not. The higher launch masses required in earlier strategies to get to the moon were a product of the architecture of those strategies. By using lunar orbit rendezvous, rather that LEO rendezvous, the required mass was cut to a fraction. Musk does indeed anticipate having to launch about 9 fuel ships to LEO to supply 1 ship going to the moon and back. He's basically following Von Braun's lunar mission architecture of LEO rendezvous. The ascent stage of the lunar lander followed a similar trajectory to that of the descent stage to LLO, but in reverse. Taking off vertically but with the trajectory curving over to get into LLO.

  710.  @hicm1of12  I think your figure of hundreds of pac-3 missiles being fired is way off, the pac-3 is specialized to intercept high velocity missiles on a ballistic trajectory, they're just not suitable for low altitude cruise missiles and drones, the iris-t and Gepard and similar systems are the defensive platforms they'll be using for those, pac-3 would, I expect, be saved for iskander, S300, S400 and kinzhal.

  711.  @rodiculous9464  when Wagner first became involved in the battle for Bakhmut they were fighting on an 80km wide front, over the last few months their numbers have been so depleted that in the last weeks all they were fighting was a front 5km wide, with the rest of the fighting around Bakhmut being put in the hands of Russian regular and "elite" forces. Pregozhin has confirmed the huge loses Wagner has suffered. While Wagner continued to go forward in Bakhmut the other Russian forces have been losing ground on the flanks around the city. Wagner is the ONLY unit on the Russian side that's been moving forward for many months.

    3
  726. The "gender is a social construct" claim became fashionable about 30 years with the "blank slate" theory, which was popular on the left as it supported the claim of oppression of women. The fact that Valkai continues to spout it, while at the same time claiming that there are physiological female and male brains, is a result of his buy in to woke ideology. Ideology is blinding him to the contradictions in his own words.

  744. We should be skeptical of claims not supported by peer review. 24 of each sex/gender group is a very small sample, I would hope Valkai has more papers to offer supporting his very adamant claims on brain physiology. It would be expected in science for a scientist making such claims to cite his evidence.

  787. @Gopal Meharwade  do you know that when Russia invaded there were 80,000 foreign students in Ukraine? Most of them from Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The closest you can get to a Nazi policy is the standardization of Ukraine as the official language. The wider policies of the Ukrainian government were absolutely not fascist. There was a single far right representative in the Ukraine parliament and he was in opposition. The Russian invasion was condemned not just by the governing parties but also by the pro-Russian parties, who are now advocating for Ukraine to join the EU.

  790. I've not seen any claims of the same hills in the background at different landing sites. Because the hills appear so close, due to no atmospheric haze, often they look the same from locations widely scattered around one landing site. No one who has studied the Van Allen Belts say that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. The footage from halfway to the moon is from 2 TV broadcasts, on day 1 and day 2 of the mission. That full unedited footage, totaling 50 minutes, reveals Sibrel's claims to be false.

  795. Uk is rich because it generates wealth every day and every year. Nigeria isn't as rich because Nigeria generates far less wealth. The claim that significant wealth is passed down from generation to generation for a century or two is nonsense. If we look at East Asian countries, they demonstrate how to be wealthy, a country must produce wealth continuously to be wealthy.

  798. Yep, the main evidence against the window bs is that if the spacecraft were in low earth orbit with only a small part of the Earth being shown, the clouds visible would be shifting out of frame continuously as the spacecraft passed over them at the orbital speed of 5 miles a second. What is actually seen is the same cloud patterns barely shifting over the several minutes of the video. Sibrel has never addressed this, or other proofs, against his fairy tale.

    3
  839. The footage is not fake, it may look strange to you, but that's due to it being shot in an environment you've not experienced.

  845. I appreciate Stephen challenging Valkai at the end on sports issues, and Valkai revealed that, yep, for him it's all about the woke ideology he believes in. Valkai is proposing the end of female international sport, in fact the end of female sport at any senior level.

  846. Sibrel is lying about Aldrin. Aldrin is proud of what was achieved by Apollo. Watch the hour long interview between Glenn Beck and Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke. Then tell me Duke is lying about having walked on the moon.
    3
  847. Try broadening your sources, I suggest Dave McKeegan.
    3
  848. I'll also point out that both Woodford and Valkai slip up during their discussion and use the terms "man" and "woman" when referring to the sexes. Nice illustrations of the words' utility as descriptors of sex rather than gender.
    3
  849. You probably shouldn't just accept Sibrel's claims without checking how thoroughly they've been refuted. For example, his video of "secret" material supposedly revealing the astronauts are in low earth orbit, is actually taken from 2 TV broadcasts done at the time totalling 40 minutes. Those broadcasts are available in their entirety on YouTube. It's not Nasa taking edited cuts to mislead, it's Sibrel.

  853.  @anthonymitchell8893  countries in Europe are free to have foreign policy not dictated by Russia, the threat Russia poses is the reason why central and Eastern European countries choose to join nato. I know far more about the Minsk agreements than you, it's not disputed by Russia that Russia also failed to comply with commitments that Russia made the the Minsk agreements. Are you aware that Zelensky was elected in 2019 and that there has been little conflict and few civilian casualties in the Donbas since then?

  859. @RenoLaringo  the pressure gradient in the atmosphere is noticeable in a ride in a lift, driving over hills. Anyone with modest skills can build a pressure gauge that'll show that pressure gradient.

  861. You'll never find it, it doesn't exist.

  863. Good grief. That wasn't a "moon launch" it was the shuttle Challenger, which was going to low Earth orbit.

  864. Sibrel stated 4 months ago that he won't debate any of those questioning his claims. He only does interviews with people who either don't doubt his stories or know nothing of the evidence against his stories.

  865. ​@Snowman374th I told you where to find Sibrel stating that he would not debate the people challenging his claims. Sibrel is very clear in his meaning. Were you too scared to look to see and hear him say it for yourself? You typify conspiracy theorists. Dishonest to the core.

  868.  @johnwi-l_l-iamsf3763  the UN recognized his election as fair and opinion polls in Ukraine show solid support for his efforts in leading his country against the Russian imperialists. Putin invaded because he thought Zelensky would run away. Well, Zelensky could have, but he chose to lead his country against the invading imperialists. Not the actions of a weak clown, the actions of a true leader fighting for his country.

  870. The transmission in which the word "talk"(?) Is heard occurred on day 1 when the spacecraft was only 95,000km from Earth. The round trip radio delay at that distance is about 0.65 seconds. The original broadcast, which Sibrel doesn't provide, is 15 minutes long, and throughout the conversation between the astronauts and Houston, the fact that the delay is less than a second is obvious. There was no need to fake a 4 second delay, in fact doing so would be incongruous with the rest of the transmission.

  874. You must be really clever to be smarter than all the people who understand the science and technology involved.
    3
  875. Try to reproduce the layout of those rocks in sunlight that Sibrel claims is impossible. Go look at the original broadcasts from Apollo 11 when in transit to the moon. Calculate the propellant mass ratios of the components of the Saturn V/Apollo stack to determine if they had the required delta V to get to the moon and back. If you do those things, you discover Sibrel's claims are false, every time.

  876. It hasn't happened again because no one has put up the money. Those that understand what was involved are not as blind as those who know nothing about what was required and done to achieve the moon landings.

  879.  @triiileigh  Grayson told her to put the pot down, so she put the pot down on the bench. Did that placate his aggressive and threatening advance? No, to him it made no difference, he was clearly dissatisfied with where she placed it because after she'd put it on the bench he again demanded that she "PUT THE ^%%#^ POT DOWN!" His shouting. If she wanted to placate him by obeying his instructions, she had no option other than to try to transfer the pot to the floor. And if you think she was just going to ignore the instructions of an angry cop, gun pointing at her, who'd just threatened to shoot her in the ^#%^$ face, you've got zero empathy for the terrifying situation she was in. Then she turned to see him approaching, her instincts took over. What's her instinctive goto when in great fear for her life from a threatening cop? We saw it a few seconds earlier, she threw her hands up! Did you notice that after the pot had dropped to the floor, after he'd stopped shooting, that Grayson again demanded that she "PUT THE #%^%$ POT DOWN!"? "Where the water (and pot) lands." They landed on and around her, which you'd know if you'd looked at the BWC film from cop 2 when he checked her after she was dead.

  884. Perhaps you should watch the whole of his discussion with Zoey (that's the one that is edited with that edited version repeated over and over, becoming multiple instances of him "confessing".) With the uncut version it's clear he was saying he doesn't know why we haven't gone BACK to the moon.

  889. @Elvin-m6l  his claim that shadows can't appear to be nonparallel is not true, anyone can go and reproduce the effect of apparently nonparallel shadows with a few items on a sunny morning.
    3
  890. @Elvin-m6l  the video he claims was secret, of the Earth while they were in transit to the moon, was taken from 2 TV broadcasts done at the time, one on day 1 (of 15 minutes), the other on day 2 (of 35 minutes). These are on YouTube, and the full-length broadcasts disprove his claims with clear footage of the camera being moved from the window, and the whole Earth with clear space around it with the window frame visible.
    3
  891. @Elvin-m6l  when the word "talk" is heard, it was the first day, the spacecraft was only 95,000km from Earth, with a round trip signal delay of just 0.65 seconds. That short delay is obvious in that 15 minute broadcast, the "wait 4 seconds" claim is not consistent with the very short delay heard on the rest of that footage.
    3
  892. @Elvin-m6l  Kelly Smith is an engineer who was working on hardening the Orion capsules electronics against radiation. That was what he was talking about, his area of expertise. He was talking about the necessity for the electronics to survive for the crew to survive. He's not talking about crew health. That's not his area of expertise.

  901. So, having seen Sibrel, who recently stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims, you're (so easily) convinced.
    3
  902. So Sibrel is accusing people of: lying, fraud, embezzlement, cowardice, murder, kidnapping, and other crimes and immoralities, and when they get angry at his baseless accusations, to him, and Candace, that's evidence that those accusations are correct? And Candace claims that if such accusations were made against her, she wouldn't care less. To normal people, Sibrel's and Owens' claims of indifference in the face of such accusations are ridiculous.
    3
  903. ​@TheMaskedBaptist the Van Allen Belts have almost zero heat capacity. Water at 100⁰C will burn you in a second, dry air at 100⁰C will struggle to burn you at all, the heat is taken away by your circulation fast than the skin can be heated (that's why you can stick your arm in a hot oven without being burnt). A vacuum (the Van Allen Belts are more a vacuum than the space where the ISS orbits) will take forever to heat anything.

  905. I've just watched the Patrick Moore interview (again). I see no evidence against the moon landings in it. I've watched the entire post Apollo 11 press conference in the past, I've seen no evidence against the Apollo 11 moon landing in that either.
    3
  906. It happened when it happened. I fail to see what's strange about it. Nasa's budget reached 4.4% of US federal spending, about 10 times what it is now.
    3
  907. ​ @Mrs.Stone99 if you were genuinely intellectually curious you'd do some real research. Watching Candace fawning over someone spouting her own beliefs, and yours, is just looking for confirmation of your preferred narrative. Sibrel has stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

  908. Go listen to those who know the science and engineering of Apollo in detail. Those whom Sibrel will not debate.
    3
  909. ​ @taylorpronyk123 it's there on Grayson's video. If you have audio you can hear the shots and see his arms rise after each is fired. When the recoil lifts his arms after the first shot, that's when she becomes visible with the pot over her head.
    3
  910. ​ @gives_bad_advice I don't think he believes himself. He avoids situations in which he has to face refutations of his claims. He knows there are many holes in his narrative. What he wants to keep is an income and some fame, having his name known, getting to rub shoulders with people who are celebrities.
    3
  911. There is no reasonable doubt, just unreasonable nonsense.
    3
  912.  @ihartsacto  no, they haven't been back for the same reason there was a 52 year gap between the first expedition to Challenger Deep and the next, and a 46 year gap between the first overland expeditions to the South Pole and the next. There's a lot of prestige in being first, none in being second. There isn't a single person who's studied the Van Allen Belts who says that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. Despite what Sibrel claims, the structure, energy and concentration of the charged particles in the belts is public knowledge.

  914. @prakkari  wot?! Movies show stuff that's not true?
    3
  915. @prakkari  someone's probably mentioned it, but when they were on the moon, communications were maintained through dishes in Spain, the US and Australia, whichever location had the moon in the sky at the time. Amateur, and professional radio and astronomy people listened in unofficially by pointing receivers at the moon. None of that is remotely possible for a spacecraft in low earth orbit circling Earth every 90 minutes.
    3
  916. What makes the Apollo landings ridiculous?
    3
  917. Of course we went to the moon, there's not a single argument that Sibrel offers against the moon landings that stands up to reasonable scrutiny.

  925. "Who encourage people to go to Ukraine and fight" . . . like Putin you mean? "Ukraine has no organized reserves left" . . . But they do have many, many able bodied men voluntarily taking up arms, and there're about 6 million of those in Ukraine - and an endless supply of weaponry arriving. "1,351 Russian servicemen killed" . . . a ridiculously low claim given the thousands of pieces of Russian military hardware destroyed - with supporting photographic evidence. How can a government that lies to its own people be trusted? "14,000 Azov Guys" it's the Azov battalion, not the Azov division. No, NATO estimates 7000-15000 Russian servicemen killed, not 15000-30000. "killed in the Donbas" But that's not for the Donbas, that's the estimate for Russian deaths across multiple fronts in North, South and East Ukraine! And the chart you offer says 6,671 average *daily* losses to the Germans with **total KIA 66,166**! "These NATO numbers, 15,000 and 30,000 are completely bogus." Indeed, you just made them up.

    3
  934.  @shannonkey9926  so if a majority say such and such isn't a right, even though you think it's a right, it isn't a right.
    3
  935.  @shannonkey9926  evidently you're incapable of defining what you mean by "we collectively decide our rights". I've had a couple of cracks at it, as I assumed you meant either society as a whole or individually. You now seem to rule out individually, so society as a whole. So if an elected government decides it disagrees with your definition of "rights" and take certain privileges away from some members of society, tough shit, they're not taking away your "rights" they're, likely in your case, taking away privileges that "we collectively" as a society, have decided aren't "rights".

  941. All of Sibrel's claims have been refuted. Sibrel recently said that he will not debate anyone who has the knowledge to challenge his claims. He only does interviews with people who haven't seriously studied the Apollo program.
    3
  942. There isn't a single person who's studied the Van Allen Belts who says that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. The Saturn v third stage only had to change the velocity of itself and the other components (Command &Service module and the 2 lunar vehicle components), to raise them into an elliptical orbit the lowest point being low earth orbit and highest point being the moons orbit. After that, very little fuel is used to get into lunar orbiter.
    3
  943. You make baseless allegations against people without evidence. What an evil woman.
    3
  944. 15. The crosshairs in the cameras were etched into a glass plate called a Reseau plate in front of the photographic film. It allows examiners to see whether the film is warped, determine sizes from angular resolutions etc. These lines are pretty thin. That means that they can disappear if you make a bad or lo-res scan, or if the light into the camera is bright.

  947. Sibrel is not particularly honest with his claims. Anyone can recreate his favorite lunar photos of rocks and shadows to prove to themselves how deceptive perspectives can be. In short, the photos are genuine, even though to some people they don't look quite right, especially with Sibrel in their ear confidently proclaiming them faked.

She was forced into flight or fight, initially she went for flight, she ducked into concealment, then when she saw him coming around the counter, ready to carry out his threat to shoot her in her "&^%$# face", her instincts switched to fight. To avoid being murdered she tried to fight back. An analogy is, if a gazelle is hunted by a lion, the gazelle might try to kick out at the lion in the kast seconds to try to survive, but that's entirely a defensive action, and action of desperation to survive.

  955. Russian strength in Ukraine is likely more than 250,000, but Ukrainian strength is around 700,000 (Pregozhin used that figure and it appears well based) the 13 brigades which are claimed to be the main offensive force would punch through Russian lines across a front a few tens of km wide and lead the attack, they would be supported by the other 650,000.

  964. Peace is easily achieved, have the Russia army in Russia rather than in Ukraine.

  965. Sibrel likes to quote Twain: "It is easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled" None of the people who buy his stories consider the possibility that he's the one doing the fooling.
    3
  966. Wise not to believe it. Spacecraft from China, India, Japan and South Korea have confirmed the existence of the landing sites. Sibrel recently said that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.
    3
  967. No, he did not. He did produce 2001: a space odyssey. Perhaps that's the movie you had in mind.
    3
  968. "Will do some research and decide for themselves". If they want to do research, I suggest Dave McKeegan, who addresses Sibrel's claims directly, and Tim Dodds, who does one of the most thorough analysis of such claims that I've seen. Sadly, few people who buy the stories of the Sibrel's of this world do any such research.

  974. I would hope you would have more respect for Tom Stafford than Bart Sibrel. The reality of the moon landings is supported by the hundreds of thousands who worked to achieve them. Bart Sibrel's story is supported only by a tissue of his own lies.

  989.  @nightdipper5178  yes, saved South Korea, on 25 June 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea. At the end of WW2 Korea had been divided into the Soviet administered north and US administered south along the 38th parallel. When the Cold War developed that administrative division turned into two Korea's. The invasion of the South by the North nearly got to Seoul, but was stopped by the US amphibious landings at Incheon, those landing cut the invading Chinese and North Korean supply lines, forcing a withdrawl. If the South had lost all 80 million Korean's would now be living in the poverty and oppression that exists in the North.

  994. Sibrel has produced just 2 films, both denouncing the Apollo missions. In the first he recorded no footage, it was all footage from other people, mostly Nasa. In the second he produced most of the footage, but that footage was just interviews, requiring no professional camera skills. Sibrel is a charlatan, his claims other people providing evidence to support his views are unsupported. The shots in transit to the moon he claims as secret, are actually from broadcasts done live at the time! A 15 minute TV broadcast on day 1 and a 35 minute broadcast on day 2. If you click my thumbnail you should be able to find them.
    3
  995. Yep, Sibrel tells his 007 story and people fall for it. They don't even think about all the holes in it, the ridiculous improbabilities, and the lack of support he offers.
    3
  996. The flag was moving as the astronauts tried to screw the flagpole into the surface. No experts on the Van Allen Belts, including James Van Allen, claim that they would have stopped Apollo.

  997. So what evidence convinced you the 6 landings didn't happen?
    3
  998. The authors of those books lied to you.

  999. The only thing on your list that is primarily an American achievement is the moon landings: The British, and other Europen countries, had democracy before America, the British and others outlawed slavery long before America, the middle class developed globally, defeating the Nazis was a global effort with the British Empire and Soviet Union contributing, in many respects, more than America, and communism fell over under the weight of its own economic incompetence.

  1001. If you're genuine about research, there's Dave McKeegan, and Humans of Earth, both on YouTube.
    3
  1002. Sibrel's claims have proven to be false. For example, the footage of Earth while in transit to the moon that he claims was secret, was taken originally from 2 TV broadcasts viewed by millions, the first 15 minutes long, the second 35 minutes long. It's Sibrel who edits to create a false narrative.
    3
  1003. No British or American have soldiers have been required to fight in Ukraine.

  1005. Sabine's video has been targeted by at least half a dozen Marxist YouTubers. Their followers are each putting in many comments. If you actually examine the criticisms there's no substance, if you ask them to be specific as to why Sabine is wrong, or how capitalism fails, they run away.

  1012. Not very scientific. Would "woman calls police about white man [innocuous activity]" get ANY news coverage at all? I doubt it. Does it happen that women call police on white men [activity] when the activity is actually innocuous? I bet it does happen, but because there's no opportunity to portray the actions of the police caller as racist it's not a story worthy of media attention.

  1017. People familiar with the Apollo program have offered to debate Sibrel. Sibrel has declined to debate with anyone knowledgeable about the moon landings.
    3
  1018. Yeah, they probably don't even know how to spell sciense.
    3
  1019. There have been many, many interviews with astronauts describing the details of their experiences on the moon. What we have never seen is Sibrel being interviewed by, or having a debate with, someone who has a deep understanding of the missions and is able to challenge his claims. Candace was just his lap dog in this interview.

  1022. I largely agree, but after she put the pot on the bench, he again demanded that she put the pot down - to her, I think, a demand from him to move it to the floor. When he came around the counter, her instincts kicked, as they had earlier, when he first pointed his gun at her, and again, she put her hands up.
    3
  1023.  @macpappy3461  Nate shows her with the pot over her head immediately prior to being shot 8:10
    3
  1024.  @macpappy3461  I've argued, I think with good cause, that in that instance she was acting on instinct and, as she did just a few seconds earlier when he threatened to shoot her, she was trying to put her hands up. Terrified out of her mind. There's video evidence that the pot landed on or beside her.

    3
  1030.  @angelinalouis4356  China intends to get men to the moon in the next few years, so does the US. SpaceX has dropped the cost to orbit to a tenth of what it used to be, China is copying SpaceX's reusablity. You truly are desperate to create rationalizations to support your beliefs.

  1032. ​@wakinglife7065 can believe you fell for the snake oil salesman's con.
    3
  1033. @L.J.R.  there was no prospect of Ukraine joining nato, so it's wrong to say Ukraine's tried to join Nato. However, if the situation had been different and Ukraine had been able to join, and joined, Russia would not have invaded. You also illustrate the disconnect with reality that exists with supporters of the Russian aggression.
    3
  1034. Personally, I prefer interviewers who challenge the interviewees' narrative. Candace, in this discussion, was like a loyal puppy.

  1035. Yes, the other astronauts and all the wives knew that there were 6 Apollo missions that landed on the moon.

  1036. If you grow up being taught that you're a victim, as an adult you'll be a victim.

  1037. There are excellent debunkings of Sibrel's claims, perhaps you should see them before reaching conclusions. I suggest Dave McKeegan, also Humans of Earth/Gempanda.
    3
  1038. Yep, and Sibrel's fooled a lot of people.
    3
  1039. Yep. He's been at thus for over 20 years and still can't understand basic science.
    3
  1040. Everyday Astronaut has a new video up on the topic. The Truth About The Moon Landings.
    3
  1041. Sibrel never offers evidence to support his claims. Anonymous witnesses? Yes. Falsehoods? Yes. All of his claims are easily refuted.

  1044. You are correct, HT is dropping to new lows in attempting to create its pro-Russian nonsense.

  1045. @Peter Bloemer  it's not about Ukraine or even really about Russia, people in some segments of Indian society have a deep anti-west chip on their shoulder. They'll cheer for any country that the west is opposing. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was an evil action by a man corrupted through being in power for 20 years, but for those with a deep hatred of the west in general and the US in particular that doesn't matter. These people feel that the West has humiliated them and they'll rationalize whatever they need to rationalize to justifying supporting any country the West is opposed to.
    2
  1046. You've been fooled by grifters who've spun a tale of conspiracy and trickery that appeals to your simple soul.
    2
  1047. ​@mohx2847 you don't answer such simple questions because there are no answers that don't contradict FE. FEer's can't even offer a distance to the Sun, they ignore the question, as no figure for that distance is possible on the FE, any figure is contradicted by observation.
    2
  1048. Putin motivates Russian nationalism using the same techniques used by a certain 1930's - 1940's Germany leader, get control of the media, work on their countryman's nationalistic pride, make them feel alienated from other countries, always blame the other side for your own crimes, invade neighboring countries on the pretext of defending German speaking people (or Russian speaking people) that live there, employ people who call themselves "independent" to spread false propaganda, suppress any dissenting voices at home through violence or harsh punishments. Same old methods, just a new author.
    2
  1049. There is no evidence, just bs claims from grifters, that they didn't go.
    2
  1050. Nasa has thousands of photos on line, you can't find any that support the claim of the same background at different landing sites.

  1051. @damienkavanagh4912  what?? There's a routine war going on, it's been going on for nearly 2 and a half years.

  1052. About time they had a training day. In other airforces they train every day. That lack of training is why the Russian airforce hides in Russia.

  1055. ​ @AL-sb9ch what's fake are Sibrel's claims, he avoids interviews with people knowledgeable enough to point out his lies.
    2
  1056. There isn't a claim Sibrel makes that isn't easily refuted.
    2
  1057. His flight from the CIA was a flight of fantasy, along with most of everything else he claims.
    2
  1058. Owens and Sibrel are disgusting, slandering the astronauts with zero evidence supporting their lies against those men.
    2
  1059. @Barin-hn1bf  no, only 155mm artillery ammunition is significantly depleted, next would be patriot missiles, but over 10,000 patriot missiles have been manufactured. With about a thousand launchers produced. Artillery isn't central to Nato military doctrine.

  1067. ​ @DudeLoreVideo I've looked at the claims from the moon landing conspiracy grifters, and I've looked at the refutations of those grifters claims. And then I've looked for the grifters refutations of those refutations. That last are absent.

  1071.  @rstefan1821  you realize that there's been very little conflict in the Donbas and very few conflict related civilian deaths there since Zelensky was elected president of Ukraine in 2019? What, you didn't know that? And you accuse others of ignorance!
    2
  1072. The direction a vessel leans in a turn is a matter of displacement hull vs planing hull, there are plenty of "boat's" that have displacement hulls and so lean outwards in turns.
    2
  1073.  @BTFREEDOM1776  what evidence do you offer to support your claim?
    2
  1074. @berntyson3641  no evidence? So your belief is faith-based.
    2
  1075. @berntyson3641  well, I've more respect for flat earthers who say their belief is faith based and leave it at that, than flat earthers who try to argue the evidence, including by using misrepresentations of basic science.
    2
  1076. Not visible from Earth because of the distance, but the existence of the landing sites has been confirmed by lunar orbiters from several countries.

  1077. ​@BlarglemanTheSkeptic2 saying a transwoman is a woman because it's in the name is not an argument.

  1080. I've tried for years to understand the race situation in America from afar. The popular representation is of a white dominated society that oppresses black people, that's the only narrative that's acceptable, anything else and you're labeled as racist. But when trying to make 2+2=4 it always turns back to one thing: Black American's aren't disadvantaged by racism from white people as much as they're disadvantaged by their own bigotry against white America. How could young black people in America possibly have upward social mobility when they're taught and encouraged to be so hostile to "white" America? Black immigrants from around the world don't share that hostility towards white America and as a result are far more upwardly mobile, unfortunately their kids are forced to conform to the acceptable narrative by their peers and often fall back as a result.

  1081. "Power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 121 amp-hr." They were rated for a distance on the moon of about 57 miles.

  1086. @iraeis7267  yes, without composite laminated armor there is no real protection. So you imagine that such a successful tank is miss designed, that it has a large part of its front surface that could be penetrated even by the medium caliber rounds from IFV's? Dreams are free.
    2
  1087. @filipzietek5146  many 30mm+ cannon will penetrate 70mm RHA using apfsds rounds at up to 500m. The actual armor on Challenger 2 is, of course, classified. But there's no evidence that the front of a Challenger 2 has ever been penetrated.
    2
  1088. Based on what evidence do you believe the landings didn't happen?
    2
  1089. @Lostartsradio  seen your interview, you have no knowledge, and in fact you are a cheerleader for Sibrel's claims.
    2
  1090.  @Lostartsradio  so my position stands. Sibrel never does interviews with people with the background and knowledge to challenge his claims.
    2
  1091. ​ @Lostartsradio the comments you deleted were all pointing out false claims Sibrel made, point by point, throughout the first 20 minutes of your interview with him, which is why there were about 20 comments. You had the option of addressing my points, I would have read every rebuttal you offered. You offered none.
    2
  1092. ​ @Lostartsradio one other point, I'm not a government employee, I never have been. For most of my life I've been self-employed, I'm on the right politically, though not the conservative right, and I'm not an American. So, as with your take on Sibrel's claims, you're keeping your perfect record of being consistently wrong. The certainty you possess, with an absence of knowledge, is a symptom of excessive levels of hubris.
    2
  1093. You reversed what he actually said, the flights appear to be curved on a flat map, but are straight lines on a globe.
    2
  1094. Yep, many times.
    2
  1095. @dfkuz  the net of enchantment catching people is the one spun by Sibrel and a few others. You must have incredible respect for the government if you think it could pull off such a deception, keep it secret for 70 years, and deceive/get the cooperation of all the other governments in the world.
    2
  1096. @dfkuz  the reality is that the Apollo 11 crew were serious people who handled their difficult jobs better than they handled dealing with people. They were more introverted than you understand.
    2
  1097. @dfkuz  not like Bart, Bart loves to spin a good story.

  1098. @bapyongukgukguk2352  much as they lost the technology to build late 1960's Ford's. There's not a factory anywhere that could start building 1960's Ford pickups again, not without year's of preparation - and it'll never happen because the automobile technology has moved on. Ditto Saturn V's and space technology.

  1100. She's just projecting her own hatred of the trade onto everyone involved, putting words into their mouths, claiming to speak for them with nothing but her own claims and her own interpretation of their positions. New Zealand legalized prostitution 20 years ago and as a result the conditions, independence and safety has improved greatly and they're arguably now the safest prostitutes in the world not being under threat from either criminal gangs or the legal system.
    2
  1101. Sibrel lies, he has said that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims. His claims are easily refuted. Name any of his claims and I'll point out why it's false.
    2
  1102. Perhaps you should look at videos debunking Sibrel's claims. I suggest Dave McKeegan.
    2
  1103. Some of them probably presymptomatic.
    2
  1104. Sibrel likes to quote Twain "it's easier to fuul people than to convince them that they have been fuuled." Sibrel doesn't go on to explain that he's the one doing the fuuling.

  1105. Fire away, I'll answer all of your questions.

  1108. @elitaiglesias117  its easy to create shadows that appear at different angles. Go out side, stand with your back to the Sun, and hold your arms above your head in a "Y". The shadows of your arms will be diverging, so at different angles. If you have shadows on a surface that isn't dead flat the angles of the shadows will appear to be all over the place. Evidence of multiple light sources is multiple shadows from the same object.

  1113.  @briantitchener4829  I've seen Jarrah White's claims, they're nonsense.
    2
  1114.  @briantitchener4829  one example was that he had a co-conspiracy theorist on claiming some photos were impossible without multiple light sources. But you or I can set up a similar arrangement of rocks to reproduce the observed shadows with only the Sun as a light source. Try it sometime, I have, so have others.
    2
  1115.  @briantitchener4829  here's a tip: the overhang on the rock at the top right enhances the effect.

  1117. While the cop was out of line littering, the complainant could have been civil and obviously has a huge chip on his shoulder.

  1118. None of the evidence refuting Bart's claims was heard, for instance, the photos of the Apollo landing sites taken in recent years by lunar orbiters from China, India, Japan and South Korea, along with Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
    2
  1119. Agree with your entire comment. What stands out to me though, is that to dismiss the deep feelings of gender disphoria that some have so lightly as a social construct sounds a bit dismissive and insulting.
    2
  1120. @junetalon8796  what massive shifts?
    2
  1121.  @junetalon8796  and I could go on and on about how wealth and contraceptives have obliterated the importance of family honor in Western countries, a cultural feature that is still very important in poorer countries, countries in which there is no social safety net and where an unmarried mother would be a major financial liability to her family, a family hoping to see her married to the right man, because the wrong man would see serious hardship for any children and also the parents in their older years.
    2
  1122. @junetalon8796  the roles are still relative to the biological and gender construction of human beings. If there's less need for time being spent on gathering or house keeping for women or on hunting or defense for men, the two genders still, on the whole, continue to favor the new roles available and created that best suit the psychology of each gender.
    2
  1123. @junetalon8796  there are papers on all sorts of things. The hunter and warrior role for men and the housekeeper and caregiver role for women is rather well established. If we look at modern society, the men do certain things, especially physical and high-risk jobs, and women do the caregivers and less physical jobs, so the gender roles are still there.

  1124. @junetalon8796  because there are psychological differences between the masculine and feminine genders. Are you really disputing that? Physically the human species is moderately dimorphic, so are the genders. Remember the bit from Valkai about the differences in the brain structure that exists between the genders?
    2
  1125. @junetalon8796  when people claim "gender roles are a social construct," they're saying that people of different genders are coerced or manipulated into roles that society says they're required to fill. They're arguing against the existence of significant biologically driven psychological preferences existing. Claiming otherwise, I think, would be disingenuous.

  1130. Mörner is a nutcase: "In 1995, Mörner gave several courses in dowsing at Stockholm University in the summer program, and also outside of the university. [2] He claimed that dowsing could be used not only to find water, but also to discover Curry and Hartmann lines. When reported in the press, he received sharp criticism from the Swedish scientific community and the Swedish skepticism movement. [3] Mörner persisted[4] and the conflict escalated[5], leading to a formal ban from the president of the university to teach dowsing, citing the Law on Higher Education, until he could present scientific evidence for dowsing. In the summer of 1996 Mörner held a symposium at the university where he presented what he considered to be supporting evidence for his teachings. A committee appointed by the university dismissed Mörner's claims in december 1996.[6] He was named "Confuser of the Year" for 1995 by Vetenskap och Folkbildning[7], a Swedish organisation in support of the broadening the understanding of the scientific method. The renowned American skepticist James Randi offered him a reward of USD971000 if Mörner could show that dowsing worked in a scientifically controlled experiment. Mörner later rejected the offer. [8] As late as 2002 Mörner reaffirmed his stance in a documentary on Swedish television. [9]" Wiki. "Curry and Hartmann lines" Welcome to Kooksville.

  1142.  @SwapnilSemwal  I agree, there's also the issue of how recently a nation was formed, in the British Isles they finished their tribal wars centuries ago, in many of the colonized nations nearer the equator those tribal wars continue. A country will not become wealthy as long as it's at war with itself. Countries in temperate climates like the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand brought in a mass of people that were already predominantly countrymen, whereas the various tribes that make up a country like Liberia (as a random example) are, only in recent decades, forming a sense of national unity, putting aside old tribal rivalries. Other tropical countries that are becoming wealthy are much further along the path to having their populations think in terms of being countrymen rather than members of this or that tribe.

  1164. @G-ra-ha-m  I checked your claim. You're wrong, there is dust on the rocks. Not thick, but dust is formed from small micrometeor impacts over billions of years, such action shifts dust downwards, the heating and cooling cycle also would move dust, causing it to slip from angled surfaces.

  1165. @G-ra-ha-m  I can only agree with you on the "true believer" point. Did you know that most of the 382kg of moon rocks brought back by Apollo are stored in a specially built repository, that those rocks have never been exposed to water or oxygen, having been kept in a dry nitrogen atmosphere? That thousands of samples have been handed out routinely to universities and other institutions around the world for microscopic examination and analysis? That if those rocks had been collected in Antarctica, as is commonly claimed, that would be obvious to those doing those analysis?

  1166. @emilycatherine446  the footage that Sibrel claims was done in LEO was from 2 tv broadcasts, one on day 1 of the mission, when they were 95,000km from Earth, that broadcast was 15 minutes long, and a second broadcast on day 2, at about 250,000km, that broadcast was 35 minutes long. There was nothing "secret" about that footage as Sibrel claims, the footage was publicly broadcast across the world at the time. The word "talk"(?) is heard on the day 1 broadcast. The round trip radio delay at that distance is 0.65 seconds. That the radio delay was less than a second is obvious from the rest of that 15 minute broadcast. Sibrel's claim of a 4 second delay is nonsense.

There has never been a claim of the deliberate killing of the crew by Betty Grissom or anyone else other than grifters like Sibrel.

  1185. @jimmyc974  are you quoting from the Human Rights Watch report, which goes on to say: " . . at least 8,000 people died from fighting or war-related causes, though how many of those were civilians remains unknown. The total number of dead may be significantly higher: some graves contained multiple bodies and the remains of others were most likely buried in rubble. Some may remain in makeshift graves, and others may have died later of war-related causes. Some relatives of those missing are still looking for their loved ones."? The report also states that Russia appears to have committed serious war crimes in its disregard for the lives of civilians in Mariupol.
    2
  1186. @gkrstini  Mariupol was a large city of 425,000 before the February 2022 invasion, the initial surprise attack moved quickly to encircle the city, trapping hundreds of thousands of civilians. Then the city was shelled continuously by Russia for a couple of months, destroying about 90% of the buildings. The civilians were "fish in a barrel", unlike soldiers who can disperse to avoid being such easy targets. Compare the death toll in Mariupol with the average of 10 (that's ten, not ten thousand) civilians killed each year in the Donbas from active military operations from 2019 to 2021.

All of the claims about shadows can be proven wrong by anyone with the ability to think for themselves. "Astronauts don't move and jump sometimes." I've no idea what you mean. "Air pushes dust" There are no examples of that in any of the videos on the moon, the best examples of dust moving is the dust kicked up by the rovers wheels, falling straight back to the ground, there's no air to support or move dust clouds. "Too much humidity" The regolith is fine and jaggered, it interlocks and there's no air to separate the particles. You get the same ability of dry dust to hold together with Portland cement.

If there's strong economic growth going on in the US or in China the rest of the world is better off, we worry about a recession in America or in China. Strong economic growth in Russia would be something to look forward to.

  1203. ​@WinkyFromNorthChicago74, another of Sibrel's claims, is that they faked being halfway to the moon, that he had gotten hold of "confidential" video. In fact, the video in question was taken from 2 broadcasts, the first a 15-minute unscheduled broadcast on day 1, the second a scheduled 35-minute broadcast. Those unedited broadcasts show that Sibrel's claims of them being in LEO are false. The Earth rotates slightly, as expected, between the start and end of each broadcast.
    2
  1204. ​ @WinkyFromNorthChicago74 when the word "talk"(?) is heard, it is on the day 1 broadcast, the spacecraft was at that time 95,000km from Earth.

  1208. @liammccann8763  humans have an hierarchical social structure. In ancient times those at the top have advantages in terms of survival and reproduction. Those at the bottom, both today and historically, have instinctively sort to disrupt the status quo, moving themselves to the top, I think any new way being promoted by those at the bottom can be seen in those terms. We see the same in cults today, though not so much about overthrowing the state, rather moving up within their own peer group.

  1209. @liammccann8763  "those at the top have the right . ." There is no ought. The people living in the liberal Western democracies are the best educated, longest lived, and wealthiest people the Earth has ever seen. That wealth and security has led to a much lower need for the regimentation needed for survival in societies where survival is more difficult. Catholic countries are no exception to those changes towards more liberalism. Societies with stronger social rules are more resilient in the face of adversity, the ultimate example being the military.

How we judge all of the objects in each category will be based on our experiences and observations. If all the black people we had knowledge of were all peaceful geniuses we'd instinctively expect the same from others we later encountered. We also expect certain characteristics from other races based on acquired understanding - that's instinct, Eberhardt does suggest a sound approach to suppressing those natural biases, or you can just remind yourself to always treat people as individuals and not as members of any collective.

  1235. @edugar88  nutrition doesn't explain differences between ethnic groups within the same society, I think how people within ethnic groups see their groups' position and status within society better explains those differences in measured IQ. In the US it's: Black people are victims, if you're Black, you too are a victim of American society, oh, and by the way, don't "act White". You push that narrative onto Black kids they'll believe that there's no point in trying. It breeds a defeatist mentality. I also see kids in such minorities brought up by parents to believe they can succeed in society and who do succeed in society. There's also the issue of black kids migrating to the West from Africa and the Caribbean that do far better academically than their Black counterparts brought up to such negative narratives. Unfortunately, the descendants of those immigrant kids are brought up amongst peers with that negative mindset towards their new society and they usually fail to meet the academic standards of their parents.

  1239. There was a mockumentary 'Shooting Stanley Kubrick' that starred Tom Mayk, written and directed by T Patrick Murray. It was a fictional account in which Kubrick (Mayk) confessed to producing the moon landing fakery.

  1241. A string of strawmen and nutpicking that can be refuted with two words that Woodford fails to address: gender disphoria. Just as intersex is a sex that occurs when biological processes go astray, and the existence of intersex people doesn't refute what nature is designed for gender disphoria is a disconnect between the mind and body. Nature intends men to be male and women to be female, the fact that that process goes astray doesn't make it a normal human condition for gender and sex not to align. Some people born with a cleft pallet or two heads doesn't make such conditions normal.

  1244. @kev596  so you want me to tell you, but won't accept the factual answer? Well, I'll try anyway, though it's probably too complex for you. The Apollo lunar module descent stage was about 4 meters across. The moon is about 380,000,000 meters away, so a ratio of about 1:100,000,000 So using that ratio we can say that the descent stage has about the same angular size as a 1mm flea at a distance of 100,000,000 millimeters ie. 100 km. You show me a telescope that can resolve a flea at that distance, or the head of a 4mm screw on the ISS from 400km, and I'll show you a telescope that can resolve the LM descent stage from Earth.

  1245. The velocity change required to go from low earth orbit to the elliptical orbit to reach the moon is 3000m/s At one g of acceleration, the spacecraft would make that velocity change in 300 seconds, i.e., 5 minutes.

Today tens of thousands of vessels, from huge passenger and cargo ships to small yachts circumnavigate the globe, and the world has to be a globe for them to get where they're going in the times and distances they expect.

  1265. @DocTableRock  the thing is, I can do, and have done, the math on whether or not the Saturn V stack could do as claimed, given the mass ratios, exhaust velocities, and delta V's required.

That inability to do the math is universal with those that deny the moon landings happened.

    2
  1277. Sibrel claims that was done from low earth orbit, with, as you say, only a tiny portion of the Earth visible through a window. That's false. If it were done that way, the clouds would have been moving quickly across the visible disc as the spacecraft orbited earth at the low earth orbit speed of 8km per second.
    2
  1278. @citizeng7959  Sibrel does not claim they used a "transparency of the Earth" backlit by the Earth, his claim is as I described: that the camera was positioned across the width of the spacecraft while the spacecraft was in low earth orbit, with part of a round window blocked by a cresent infill, so that only a small portion of the Earth could be seen.
    2
  1279. @citizeng7959  I based my description on Sibrel's movie A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Moon. At the 36 minute mark in the movie he offers his original version, which is as I described. The camera was across from the window with only a small portion of the Earth visible. There was no mention of any transparency. He now has a new version, introducing the transparency to his story.
    2
  1280. @citizeng7959  the strongest evidence of the landings Sibrel will never mention: photos of the hardware at the landing sites taken by Indian and South Korean spacecraft. Chinese and Japanese spacecraft have also verified the existence of the landings, China has claimed verification but has not released the details, the Japanese spacecraft cameras didn't have the resolution to see hardware, but were able to reproduce images of the terrain around the sites using 3D mapping that match photos taken by the Apollo astronauts on the surface.

  1285.  @CT-ju5lc  I mostly disagree, they are not advocating for slavery in the form that it was actually practiced (as RR demonstrates), today or in any other form that the word is now used. They are trying to believe that slavery then was not what it in fact was. Christianity, as with any religion that has been able to survive over thousands of years of dramatic social and technological evolution, is adaptable, a Christian today is nothing like a Christian of two thousand years ago. Humans are foremost creatures evolved to survive, we are not so much rational as rationalizing - which is better for survival in a zero sum world. Rationally your own tribe is likely no more moral than the enemy tribe across the river - that's rational, but rationalizing your own moral superiority or superiority in some other way makes it a lot easier to wipe out the enemy, and so enhancing your own off-springs survival chances. So Christian of today rationalize away the passages in the Bible that don't suit the Christians of today. I've no doubt that in a breif discussion I can also catch you out rationalizing - as RR rationalizes that "the only fair treatment of slaves (of two thousand years ago) is their immediate emancipation with adequate compensation".

There have been no referenda in Ukraine territory where people have voted to join Russia unless it was done at the point of Russian guns, with the counting done by Russian appointed officials. This is why the United Nations rejects such referenda as corrupt, unreliable and illegal.

The term "agnosticism" was coined by Thomas Huxley only about 160 years ago, while the concept of atheism is thousands of years old. I think it's fair to say that the introduction of "agnosticism", which is a different metric, has shifted the understanding of atheism in common parlance.

  1301. @roycejames-goodman6558  I referred to the contents of both versions. Maori leaders prior to the 1970's acknowledged that the Crown has sovereignty over New Zealand. The treaty itself makes it clear that the Crown would govern New Zealand and that Maori would be free of state interference on and with their lands and property. So what the Maori of the time wanted was what most land owners of today want. The problem isn't the issue of whether sovereignty was granted to the Crown, the problem was Maori in the years after 1840 not having that absolute control over their own lands. That's where the betrayal happened. There is no "partnership" Maori just didn't want the state meddling on their land and in their affairs. Te Pati Maori advocates the exact opposite of what Maori were seeking 185 years ago.

  1302. Addressing your list: "Live video feed with no delay" If the recording is done at the astronauts end, with the audio on the camera they carry, and that conversation, recorded at their end, is transmitted to mission control live, we hear it as they hear it, they hear mission control say something, they respond immediately to what they hear. So, if it's recorded on the moon, that response has no delay. The delay in that recording is in the astronauts waiting for mission control to respond to them. The "documentary" that made that claim never showed that second half of the conversation. "Multiple lighting sources" The claim is that shadows from multiple objects from a single distant light source must be parallel. That claim is FALSE. Try it with a couple of angled sticks in sunlight. The evidence of multiple light sources is multiple shadows from a single object. We never see that in the footage. "Impossible physics recovering from a trip" I watched those scenes, and the claim ignores the reality of moving in a low g environment, where a small push of a hand can lift someone far higher than on Earth. "Remote camera tracking abilities". All 3 of the later Apollo flights positioned the camera of the rover to record the ascent stage lift off. The cameras were controlled by an operator in Houston. With the final ascent stage liftoff, Apollo 17, the operator timed his directions to the camera to pan at the intended time of liftoff. He was timing the panning, not watching the results in real time. Everything I wrote are the points others have made many times. The conspiracy theorists just ignore what doesn't fit their narrative.
    2
  1303. Dave McKeegan refutes Sibrels claims. The footage in transit to the moon was taken originally from live network broadcasts, those broadcasts are available on YouTube and refute Sibrel's edited claims. No, we didn't have superior technology in the 60's, no one has gone beyond LEO since because no one has put the effort into going beyond LEO. The Apollo 11 astronauts were a little slow to relax at the first press conference after their 2 weeks in quarantine, but if you look at the entire press conference, rather than edits done to give a negative impression, you see they were relaxed and accurate in their description of their experience.
    2
  1304. There is no evidence of death bed confessions. Sibrel's claims of being kidnapped by the CIA are ridiculous. The claimed operation "slamdunk" is named after a term that wasn't created until years after the supposed operation "slamdunk". Anyone can go outside into the morning or evening sun and create the appearance of nonparallel shadows, uneven ground and overhang, objects not precisely vertical, will all create shadows that appear to go in nonparellel directions. Stand with your back to the Sun between 2 objects, and the 3 shadows will appear to converge.

Also he has stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims. So I find it difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he so casually accuses others of lying.

More papers saying the same thing would bring more confidence in the findings: Brain Sex in Transgender Women Is Shifted towards Gender Identity Florian Kurth,1,*† Christian Gaser,2,† Francisco J. Sánchez,3 and Eileen Luders1,4,5 Gianluca Castelnuovo, Academic Editor Author information Article notes Copyright and License information PMC Disclaimer Associated Data Data Availability Statement Go to: Abstract Transgender people report discomfort with their birth sex and a strong identification with the opposite sex. The current study was designed to shed further light on the question of whether the brains of transgender people resemble their birth sex or their gender identity. For this purpose, we analyzed a sample of 24 cisgender men, 24 cisgender women, and 24 transgender women before gender-affirming hormone therapy. We employed a recently developed multivariate classifier that yields a continuous probabilistic (rather than a binary) estimate for brains to be male or female. The brains of transgender women ranged between cisgender men and cisgender women (albeit still closer to cisgender men), and the differences to both cisgender men and to cisgender women were significant (p = 0.016 and p < 0.001, respectively). These findings add support to the notion that the underlying brain anatomy in transgender people is shifted away from their biological sex towards their gender identity"

  1324. ​@dco8562 typically rockets lift off at 1.2 to 1.5g, accelerating as the fuel is used and thrust:weight ratio increases. The typical burn time to orbit is about 480 seconds, the velocity change is about 9500m/s (including gravitational loss), so the average acceleration experienced on board is about 20m/s. Typically the total delta V of the stack is up to 10,000m/s, the difference of up to 2000m/s between theoreical and actual final velocity lost in drag and gravitational losses.

Once it's at escape velocity, it can coast, unpowered, to the moon.

Meteor gives superior performance to air-to-air missile options for the F16 when launched from low altitude.

  1355. The radiation trapped in the Van Allen Belts are charged particles, mostly protons (hydrogen nuclei) in the inner belt, and mostly electrons in the outer belt. Photons (electromagnetic radiation, like UV, X-rays, gamma rays, and visible light) are not captured in the Van Allen Belts.

  1356. Because you haven't put the money up for more landings, and nor has anyone else.

  1357. There isn't a single claim offered by Sibrel or anyone else against the moon landings that hasn't been refuted. Sibrel recently stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

  1358. There's a video from Niko Omilana "I Pranked America's Most Racist Man" Niko managed to get an interview with Thomas Robb, and wasted it with a demonstration that he has the mental age and sense of humor of a school boy.

  1361. ​ @aleanafox9905 there's a 17;22 minute video Zoey interviews Buzz Aldrin. That shows how their discussion has been misrepresented.

  1363. When you start to believe that almost everyone is in on the conspiracy, you've moved past skepticism and into mental health territory.
    2
  1364. You shouldn't believe the Apollo 11 landing and the 5 other lunar landings were fake, Sibrel's claims are made up: No one who's studied the Van Allen Belts claim they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. The video clips taken during the transit to the moon that Sibrel claims were secret are his short edits from 2 TV broadcasts done on day 1 (15 minutes duration) and day 2 (35 minutes duration). In those original broadcasts, the footage Sibrel hides makes it obvious that the footage is of the Earth from tens of thousands of miles.
    2
  1365. I can go through every one of Sibrel's claims and point to similar misrepresentations and lies. Sibrel never does interviews with people who have the inclination and knowledge to challenge his claims, only with lap dogs.

  1366. Non flat earthers sometimes refer to the expanse of the night sky as the firmament.

  1367. There are only 2 data points regarding long term human experience to gravity, 1g and 0g, what the effects on the human body would be at 1/6g, 1/3 g or 1/2 g is unknown. ​@HolyEyeWasHere
    2
  1368. @SergePavlovsky  while delta V to Mars orbit is similar to lunar orbit, then you have to get to and from the surface, and you have to deal with transit times of several months vs 3 days. The 3 days to the moon means that there're minimal issues with radiation, going to Mars requires radiation protection against unpredictable solar flares and long term cosmic radiation. Going to the moon can be done with aircraft ratios of mass/passenger, going to Mars requires ocean liner mass per passenger mass ratios.

  1371.  @chuiduma  I'm familiar with rifles, not so much handguns, so I checked a video from mannixknives firing a 9mm Glock. While most of the recoil was shown in the hand and wrist, his arms were also moving up with each shot. "Upwards to shoot" I've no idea where you get that from, he was pointing down at her to shoot her. I've also no idea why you should think I was under the impression that his aim was too high for her to be what he was aiming at. The BWC is on his chest, the most misleading aspect of those cameras is that they give a view lower than the officers eye view. Obviously. Exact timing of a shot by ear is difficult because A. The bullet leaves the barrel before the propelling gases, and B. In an enclosed space the echo that a microphone behind the gun hears is often louder that the shot itself and causes people to focus on the later, and louder report. To get the best timing you need to get the absolute first instant of the report.
    2
  1372.  @chuiduma  just to be clear, the reason a gunshot sounds far louder in an enclosed space like a room compared to outdoors is because the report reverborates around the room for several tens of milliseconds.

  1390. "Fascism often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition" That is, Russia today.

  1405. People seem to think that colonialism was a creation of the European Powers. In reality, it's been the norm for intertribal conflict for many thousands of years.
    2
  1406. @Pulo747  when the colonial powers left Africa, the power vacuum that was left ignited intertribal conflicts that caused massive death and destruction and a lowering of the levels of wealth that had existed.
    2
  1407. @Thomas-gk42  I've had a quick look at the first couple of pages. It looks like it's also doing the goodies vs. baddies thing, with the goodies being colonialism. My view is that there are several aspects of European societies that brought about the wealth and success of those societies compared to other cultures and societies around the world. Those aspects are not colonialism, but resulted in the wealth and technology that made colonialism possible. I'm referring to capitalism and mechanisms of stable governance. It was these aspects that were accepted and adopted by countries that were successful post colonialism, and rejected by countries that were unsuccessful post colonialism, the latter often, in rejecting the colonial powers, also rejecting, those successful systems, instead turning to things like Marxism and authoritarianism.

  1408. What, like how the US accused the Soviet Union of lying about Yuri Gagarin and numerous other Soviet achievements in space? //
    2
  1409. Yep, Sibrel's stories are fake from start to finish.
    2
  1410. ​@danialkaan the "secret" video he discovered was cut from TV broadcasts from the capsule on its way to the moon, a 15 minute broadcast on day one and a 35 minute broadcast on day two. It was Sibrel doing the selective editing, not Nasa. The original 50 minutes proves Sibrel's claims false, both broadcasts are available on YouTube.
    2
  1411. Russia invaded several of her neighbors. Countries invite the US in for protection against Russian aggression. Russian aggression is why East European countries, and recently Sweden and Finland, join Nato.

In fact, a clever person, confronted with an issue that they're not familiar with, will recognize that they're not knowledgeable enough to make an informed assessment. Smart people recognize their own limitations. It's the Kruger - Dunning candidates that don't understand their own ignorance.

    2
  1419.  @Nemaary  it's close, the bullet leaves the barrel before the sound is heard, when I look at the movement of his arms for the recoil of each shot, Nate's timing seems a few milliseconds late, but that's all we're talking about in that fast moving clip. Edit, watched it again at 0.25. Nate has the recoil from each shot pushing his arms down. That's wrong, he's shooting down, the recoil pushes his arms up.

  1421. Meanwhile Russia sacrifices tens of thousands of its young men on a foolish campaign to achieve nothing but more power to Putin.
    2
  1422. ​@Egbert Andrew what's your point, that it's foolish for countries to invade and try to conquer other countries? On that we can certainly agree, and Russia is discovering that it was foolish of Putin to invade Ukraine.
    2
  1423. ​ @takeittothelordinprayer there's no supporting evidence for Aker juniors claims. The term "slam-dunk" the supposed name of the plot to fake the moon landings, wasn't invented until years later.

    2
  1428. Believe it or not: 1. Spacecraft are propelled by rockets, not computers. 2. Early European explorers managed to navigate around the globe without computers. A task actually more challenging than navigating to the moon, because they couldn't see their destination, and most of the time, they couldn't even see the stars they were navigating by.

  1429.  @theboombody  innate morality is built into our genes, it's morality that serves us as a social species across all cultures.

  1435.  @Timepiece80  if you go to the youtube channel lunarmodule5, find Apollo 11 day 2 (full mission) watch from time stamp 2;33;30. The footage is recorded from the Houston end, so the 2 second delay occurs when the astronauts reply to Charlie Duke, the Capcom at Houston. That footage was broadcast LIVE. Sibrel edits it for his own purposes.

  1444. ​@wolfthequarrelsome504 there was no ethnic cleansing, in fact by 2022 the conflict in the Donbas was effectively over, with the line of control stagnant for several years, of the 4000 civilian deaths between 2008 and 2022 half died in the first year, another 800 in the second year. In the 3 years 2018-2021 civilian deaths from active military operations on both sides had fallen to about 10 a year. Putin invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022, not because there was major ongoing conflict, but rather because the level of conflict was falling to levels at which peace might easily break out, completely removing his excuse for using war to expand Russian territory.

    2
  1461. By bumping up GHG's we certainly are causing the planet to warm, that will cause tropical weather to move pole-ward which will have significant effects on agriculture and our infrastructure, and within 2 - 3 decades Arctic sea ice levels will get to zero during the Northern summer. Sea levels are rising and over the next century will rise by a meter or so. But whether those changes constitute a "catastrophe" is a matter of opinion, after all, in the last century our cities have been rebuilt bit by bit, and they're going to be rebuilt bit by bit over the next century with or without climate change and SLR, our agricultural systems have changed enormously over the last century and will do so even more with or without the expected warming over the next century.

  1469.  @bikingcopenhagen4068  I've watched a few minutes, Nixon was trying to initiate a warming of relations, that would be beneficial to both the Soviets and the West, as the building of the pipeline to Germany was, Germany benefitted hugely from the cheap Soviet oil when the OPEC oil price rises occurred soon after.
    2
  1470. ​ @matthewviliamu2679 more core public servants spending more time interacting with people in the wider public sector requires those people in the wider public sector to spend (waste) more of their time dealing with the bureaucrats. People in hospitals are spending more time on paperwork, less time on medicine, that's a complaint I've heard from doctors.
    2
  1471.  @Squeph  no, that's always the leftist assumption, that things cannot be done with less people and more efficiently, but more efficiency is how businesses in a competitive marketplace have to do things to stay in business.
    2
  1472.  @Squeph  is that some sort of not very clever strawman? To improve living standards in a country better technology needs to be used to improve the output per person, that's what the private sector has to do, that's what should be expected of the public sector. Over the term of the Labour government public sector efficiency has evidently declined by around 20%, such poor performance would kill a private sector company.
    2
  1473.  @Squeph  "decline in efficiency" 30% increase in staff vs 8.5% increase in population. Are there some improvement in productive outcomes from the core civil service that no one is aware of?
    2
  1474.  @jtonline99  if businesses get it wrong they pay. Do you understand that we're talking about core bureaucratic staff, not police staff, doctors and teachers? That the Labour government could have employed more doctors, police staff and teachers if it had chosen to employ less bureaucrats.

  1480. I'm not an American. I know the Apollo landings happened because the evidence that they happened is overwhelming. Sibrel fabricates his claims and avoids debating anyone with the knowledge to challenge his fabrications.

  1481. The fuel requirements of each component of the Saturn V/Apollo stack are not difficult to calculate using the Rocket Equation. The exhaust velocities of each rocket, the fuel/total mass ratios of each component, and the required velocity changes that have to be performed throughout the missions are public knowledge. Anyone with reasonable competency in high school math could do this basic math and determine if there were any obvious fuel deficits. There were no obvious fuel deficits.
    2
  1482. At the end of the discussion Rogan suggests a debate between Sibrel and someone more knowledgeable about the Apollo program. Sibrel replies "sure". Since then, Sibrel has stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

Smith is explaining that they need to conduct that test flight before they can send people through the belts on board Orion. Smith's job was to ensure the electronics were safe, he's an engineer, he's talking about what his job was on Orion. Sibrel editing to misrepresent is central to his grift.

  1490. That's the point I've made before, he obviously wasn't happy with where she'd put the pot, so she picked it up and was lowering it to the floor. Then with him still advancing and angrily yelling at her, she was in complete terror, she tried to put her hands up, with the pot over her head he fired. She lost control of the pot (was she hit by a bullet?) and was at most trying to stop the falling pot of hot water landing on her. Water from that height hits the floor at 4.7m/s and will splash across a hard floor, so the steam appearing at the end of the counter is no surprise, even if the pot dropped vertically. Bizarrely, he tells her to put the pot down, again, after he's stopped firing and she's on the ground dead with the pot also on the floor.

  1493. To anyone who's studied the Apollo program, Sibrel's claims are easily refuted. This is why Sibrel stated in an interview 2 weeks ago that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

  1494. 5 return trips occurred (plus Apollo 13, which didn't land).

  1497. ​@kaone3151 the evidence that moon landing deniers offer can be summed up as: "That doesn't look right to me." From people with no basis to know what "it" should look like.
    2
  1498. @kaone3151  most of the trip to and from the moon was in freefall. The maximum g force they were exposed to was, from memory 7g, after reentry into Earth's atmosphere. I could go through all the math with you, using the rocket equation and explaining exhaust velocities, mass ratios, and the delta V's required and achievable with the stages of the Saturn V stack throughout the voyage It's an exercise I did years ago. But I'm not going to bother because it would require a decent spreadsheet, a couple of hours, and at the end of it you wouldn't have followed the math anyway.
    2
  1499. @kaone3151  there's a simple piece of math you might cope with, though: To leave low earth orbit and achieve the velocity required to reach the altitude of the moon requires a change in velocity of about 3km/s. If a vehicle is accelerated at 10m/s² (about 1g) the time it would take to achieve the required velocity to coast all the way to the moon is 3000m/s ÷ 10m/s² = 300s. 300 seconds divided by 60 seconds in a minute = a burn of just 5 minutes to make the required velocity change.
    2
  1500. @kaone3151  there aren't differing opinions on the changes of velocity required to achieve an Apollo mission or on whether or not the Saturn V stack could do the job. There are also not differing opinions of whether or not the Van Allen Belts could be transited by the crews without them suffering remotely near-fatal radiation exposure. By "opinions", obviously I don't include the ravings of religious fanatics or dishonest grifters.

  1502. The proof of a weak and disorganized Russian military is there for all to see, it started a war that it's been losing. It lost territory North of kyiv, around Kharkiv and Kherson. All it has to show for the last 8 months is the rubble of bakhmut.

  1503. ​@paulchafin6318 from Eli Levine Goldberg: "Hebrew is my native language and the answer is no. NASA does not mean “to deceive” in Hebrew. The word NASA is written נאסא in Hebrew and has no meaning. However, the Hebrew word נסה is pronounced NASAH and it means “(she) runs away” or “(she) ran away” depends on the context."

  1505.  fuukrnassi  the problem is that Russian attacks on non-military targets have been frequent throughout this conflict.

  1506. @tomyossarian7681  the proof is in the results. Woke has become a call to suppress other opinions through violence and the threat of violence, including lies, misrepresentations, canceling people and threats to force dismissals from employment.
    2
  1507. ​@Saeedmustapha-v1l the temperature is only the temperature of the surface, not the space above the surface, which, as a vacuum, doesn't have a temperature, and is in fact a great insulator. Add to that the much smaller temperature range during the Apollo missions than that which you claimed, and the protection required wasn't so excessive.

  1514. "Cannot provide any evidence" There's hundreds of hours of video, thousands of photos, there's the evidence of thousands who monitored and tracked the 9 missions that went to the moon. There's all the engineering that went into Apollo, there are photos from Lunar orbit of the landing sites taken from the spacecraft of 5 nations. There's the fact other countries also tracked the Apollo missions. "No evidence "??

  1520. I'm in my sixties, I studied the US space program, even learnt the math in my spare time, so I could calculate what performance could be achieved from different rocketry systems. Then I watched something from Sibrel. Sibrel's claims do not stand up to scientific or engineering scrutiny. This is why Sibrel has stated that he will not debate anyone with the knowledge to challenge his claims.

    2
  1523. A vacuum doesn't have a temperature. The landings were all done soon after the sun rose at the landing sites. There's no evidence that the Van Allen Belts were dangerous enough to be seriously damaging to astronauts transiting them.
    2
  1524. ​ @Snowman374th Bob Frantz 4 months ago. Calling people liars when you have no evidence is just a reflection on your character.
    2
  1525. None of the "evidence" Sibrel offers stands up to scrutiny, you can test his claims about the Apollo 17 photo, which he says is impossible, for yourself with little effort. The video from the Apollo 11 spacecraft in transit to the moon wasn't "confidential", the clips he offers were taken from 2 broadcasts one of 15 minutes on day 1 of the mission, the second of 35 minutes on day 2. That longer original footage proves his low earth orbit claims false.
    2
  1526. The moment that the word "talk" is heard on the video I refer to, is on the day 1 broadcast, they were having communications issues and had been switching channels to try to improve things. At that stage, the spacecraft was 95,000km from Earth, the round trip radio delay would be 0.6 seconds, not the 4 seconds Sibrel suggested.
    2
  1527. Why not be honest and just admit that there's no doubt in your mind, even though you know nothing about such matters other than that which it suits you to believe.

  1528. An American can stand in Times Square and publicly claim the US President is corrupt, the US government is corrupt, the US military is corrupt. can a Russian say the same about the Russian President, government, and military while standing in Red Square?
    2
  1529. You're referring to the communications blackout that happens when a plasma sheath builds up around spacecraft traveling through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Elon has gotten around that problem by using satellites above the reentering vehicle to maintain communications, avoiding the thickest part of the plasma sheath below and around the sides of the reentring spacecraft. Other operators were communicating with reentering vehicles downwards, through the plasma sheath, to ground stations.

  1530. We never went back because you didn't put up the money to pay to go back, nor did anyone else.

  1531. The study is getting cause and effect in reverse, in fact if they apply their methodology to NZ (It looks like they did), which because of the effectiveness of lockdowns had few lockdowns and few deaths, they would claim the NZ outcomes support their position that lockdowns aren't effective: We didn't have many lockdowns, we didn't have many deaths, more lockdowns equals more deaths, if other countries had just followed NZ's example of fewer lockdowns they too would have had fewer deaths. Black is White, White is Black.

  1534. Successful conmen are always persuasive.
    2
  1535. Great! What evidence do you offer to support your claim? Answer: None.
    2
  1536. Perhaps you should use the internet to see how Sibrel's claims have been refuted. I've gone through his claims and he has nothing. His misrepresentations and outright lies are disgraceful.
    2
  1537. The "secret footage" from the transit to the moon was taken from 2 live broadcasts from the Apollo crew, totaling 50 minutes. Not 10 seconds, as Sibrel claims.
    2
  1538. @covey999999999  you've made the claim, now give us the supporting evidence you base that claim on. Was Skylab real? The Pioneer missions to Jupiter? How about the Viking Mars landers? Was the X15 hypersonic aircraft real? What pieces of necessary technology didn't exist in the later 1960's?
    2
  1539. @covey999999999  the first flight of the SR71 was in 1964, was the SR71 impossible?

  1555.  @triiileigh  there's a simple experiment you could try: Hold a similar sized pot or small bucket 4 feet above a hard smooth surface on your hand, rotate your hand until the pot falls off. I did this, the water washed 9 feet across concrete pavers. On linoleum it would have gone at least as far. If the pot dropped vertically the water would have gotten to the end of the counter. No throwing required.

  1561. @EAZYDOESIT  you're obviously about 12.
    2
  1562. @EAZYDOESIT  your knowledge of Apollo is very shallow, you demonstrate that you've bought falsehoods without questioning them, so you're the foolish sheep. You only know a few lies about Apollo, I know details that are beyond your comprehension as a 12 year old.

  1567. @TacseraEpSekahs  through the 1950s, the AVERAGE age for getting married for women in the US was 20. "At what age do most people get married (for the first time)? Both men and women are marrying later in life. In 1973, the median age of first marriage was 22.1 (23.2 for men and 21 for women). In 2021, the national median age of first marriage was about 29.2 years old (30.2 for men and 28.1 for women)."

  1568. That people are silly enough to buy the stories of grifters like Sibrel is a testament to human gullability.

  1573.  @thetad1242  just 3 months overdue, due to Ukraine being invaded. The UK deferred their 1940 elections until 1945, and the UK hadn't even been invaded. No doubt you think Winston Churchill was a dictator.

  1577. Aldrin punched Sibrel after Sibrel called him a liar, a thief and a coward. Sibrel was projecting his own character.

  1579. ​@hugostiglitz5976 if she believed he was going to execute her, no matter what, from her perspective throwing the pot was her only option for survival. Grayson had given her every reason to believe he intended to shoot her in the face and that's exactly what he did. We saw early on how fearful she was of them hurting her.

  1581. @bruceparker6142 many factors working together, building on each other, improving technology, increasing wealth and productivity. One of those factors being literacy rates: "In 1800 around 40 percent of males and 60 percent of females in England and Wales were illiterate. By 1840 this had decreased to 33 percent of men and 50 percent of women."
    2
  1582. @bruceparker6142  correct, I've no idea if there are innate differences in average IQ between different races. I do know humans are individuals and not members of Borg-like mental collectives.
    2
  1583. @bruceparker6142  the children of African and Caribbean immigrants to the US and the UK far exceed the academic levels of Black children whose parents were born in the US and UK and were born into a culture that, especially in the US, imbibes into black youth the belief that they mustn't "act white". If a subculture has that sort of negative attitude towards their young people working to improve themselves academically, those young people will not achieve academically. Chinese students do well academically in Western society, but the culture of Chinese households and the Chinese peers of Chinese students is that they are expected to do well academically. So, two people of different cultures, with different attitudes to academic achievement and their position in society, even if they're living in the same country, are not living in the same environment.
    2
  1584. @bruceparker6142  you making it clear you don't understand analogies adds nothing to the conversation. I doubt you can explain why I see the analogy is valid, demonstrating your inability to have genuine skeptical thinking.

  1589. ​ @taylorpronyk123 she didn't throw it. In Grayson's cam she is obscured by his left arm, he fires, the recoil causes his arm to lift. That's when she becomes visible to the camera with the pot over her head. She's hit by his first bullet in the left side of her chest, a patch of blood becomes visible as her left arm drops from the pot, due to the impact which has pushed her back. As a result only her right hand remains in contact with the pot, the pot then starts to tilt forward as she's pushed back from her crouched position. The pot falls to the floor, he fires twice more, 3 shots in just over a second.

  1621.  @henryseidel5469  it's very difficult under the first past the post (FPP) electoral system for third parties to break through, most voters will see a vote for a third party as a wasted vote, which it usually is. Under electoral systems of proportional representation voters will see their vote counting as candidates with even a small minority of the vote getting into the parliament/house, so voters are not nearly as discouraged from voting for smaller parties. One system I'm familiar with is the mixed member proportional system (MMP) a version of which Ukraine uses, under that system each voters gets a electorate vote and a party vote, with candidates on the party roll distributed to make the representation in the parliament proportional to the party vote. Under that system, if the electorate vote in itself is FPP it's still often a 2 horse race, and it's the party vote that brings the representation of smaller parties into parliament. I prefer proportional systems, though if taken to the extreme they can end up with instability with a situation where no single party or coalition of parties has the power to form a stable government. (Israel springs to mind)

  1622. Nate fails to consider whether she was in fear for her life. Given Grayson's aggression and threats, I think such a level of fear would be reasonable. If she was in fear that she was about to be executed with a shot in the face, she would be legally within her rights to use deadly force, or whatever force available, to defend herself.
    2

It was no surprise that radiation from the explosion was captured by the Earth's magnetic field and channeled into the Belts. The Van Allen Belts are the product of radiation, mostly from the Sun, being captured by Earth's magnetic field, and channeled around Earth, more radiation is continuously being captured, and radiation is continuously being lost, into the atmosphere near the poles, and at the magnitotail.

  1635. The shadows are as would be expected. The evidence of multiple light sources is multiple shadows from the same object. If you struggle with shadows that aren't parallel, stand with your back to the Sun and extend your arms in a Y, the shadows of your arms will not be parallel.

  1641. The sort of morality he's talking about is innate to us, so common to all humans, if it'a appalling, it's appalling to all of us, if not appalling, also not appalling to all of us - he even describes it as innate. So admits it's instinctive - a product of evolution.

  1648. We can pretend otherwise but reality is that most intersex is the result of something going not quite as nature intended it to during the creation of a human being. Sometimes other things go not quite as nature intended, we call these conditions congenital abnormalities, people with these conditions accept that they have an abnormality, and so does society. Such people should be treated as human beings, accepted by society and supported where necessary to live as happy and as normal lives as practicable. Those with cleft lip or cleft palate , cerebral palsy, Fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, spina bifida and cystic fibrosis see no need to go around proclaiming that their conditions are normal.

  1659. @jimbobjimjim6500  On 12 April 2014, the Donbas town of Sloviansk was captured by a fifty-strong unit of heavily-armed pro-Russian militants. They attacked and occupied the town's administration building, police station, and SBU building. The unit were Russian Armed Forces 'volunteers' under the command of Russian GRU colonel Igor Girkin. Girkin said that this action sparked the Donbas War. He said "I'm the one who pulled the trigger of war. If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out, like in Kharkiv, like in Odesa".

  1670. ​ @saveriodipoce2201  you're clueless about the difference between fighting an insurgency and a regular army. An insurgency by irregular forces disappears into the civilian population when they're under threat of destruction. That's not an option for the Russian army in Ukraine. That problem with insurgents is not the problem for Ukraine throughout most of Russian occupied Ukraine, it is though a problem for Russian forces occupying Ukraine.
    2
  1671. I'm not reading his comments as a threat, looks to me he's making the observation that Russia can't win without using tactical nukes, and using tactical nukes would result in an escalation to the unwinnable war with the use of strategic nukes. Which he sees as not a good idea.

  1675. @Getsen42  I was born May 1963. The camera that recorded Armstrong descending the ladder was attached to the outside of the spacecraft. The cameras that subsequently recorded the astronauts on the surface, tilting and panning to follow them, were mounted on a tripod set up by the astronauts on Apollo's 11, 12 and 14, and attached to the lunar rovers on Apollo's 15, 16 and 17. Those cameras were controlled by an operator in Houston.

  1678. Yes, they had fuel cells in the 1960's. No, the camera on the lunar lander didn't come back. The descent stage never left the moon. A vacuum is a great insulator, and being silvered, the lunar lander had a high albedo.

    2
  1683. The "get the CIA to wack him" was sarcasm, Sibrel had gotten into their home under false pretenses and accused Mitchell of working for the CIA. If something similar had happened to me, an accusation of having such a close relationship with the CIA, I'd succumb to making a similar sarcastic quip after the clown had finally left.

  1693. ​@tomyossarian7681 the vast majority of people recognize that there are 2 sexes and that those 2 sexes are biologically quite distinct, that recognition is innate. So it's logical to have seperate sports events for the 2 sexes if we're want to see women competing in sport at senior levels, and yes, the vast majority want to see women competing in sport at senior levels. So that's how it is, and that's how it's going to remain. Despite your wishes, in the long term dictating to the vast majority always fails.

  1697. There's plenty of evidence that 12 men walked on the moon. The claim that $300 billion was spent and 400,000 people worked on sending those men to the moon, with massive rockets built and launched, with the spacecraft tracked to the moon, with the landing sites subsequently photographed by lunar orbiters from several countries and that somehow it was all faked, is an extraordinary claim. Yet, there's absolutely no evidence to support the claim it was faked.

  1721. @Richard44BC  "how do you know what you know?" A question I've considered. You receive information about the world through your senses, to have high confidence that what you know is factual, smart people test their "knowledge" against multiple sources. For me, knowledge is built on the foundations of the laws of nature, humans evolved under those laws as social animals. So if actions are consistent with the laws of nature and human nature, as I understand them, I have higher confidence in that knowledge than in knowledge that is inconsistent with those laws.

  1725.  @citizenghosttown  Appeal to authority fallacy refers to the use of an expert's opinion to back up an argument.

Valkai is an evolutionary biologist, and as far as I can ascertain doesn't have a Masters yet.

  1729. What about them? I see one was named Helga. They were equipped with various sensors and protective clothing intended to gather data on the conditions they were subject to within the Orion spacecraft. As it was the first Orion mission to the moon, such information was valuable.

No it doesn't. http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut4gl/from:1979/plot/gistemp/from:1979/plot/uah6/plot/rss "The ocean warming is certain compared to what, exactly?" It's certain because we can measure it, both directly and through the effects of thermal expansion. "Volcanic activity plays a major role as well." Major eruptions have short term effects of surface temperature, that's the only major role of volcanism on the timescales under discussion. "And the ice melting? Well, a pole shift suggests a different story," I doubt you've any idea what you mean by that, the decline in land and sea ice has been accurately measured in recent decades. https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/sotc/ice_sheets.html "Well, that's the basis GHGs work on. They absorb, and re-emit solar radiance... however, like i said, CO2 doesn't have that property." That looks like you're claiming that CO2 isn't a GHG, I'll assume that's not your meaning (because it's a really ignorant claim to make) and suggest you reword what you're trying to say. ". . the earth has been in a warming trend for centuries." No it hasn't, the warming trend is less than 2 centuries old. " "There are no observed mechanisms that can explain". If that were true, then like i keep saying, we wouldn't be entertaining the developement of new instruments and measurement systems used in helioseismilogy to further our understanding of the full spectrum of solar influence/forcing." We're continuously improving our understanding of the universe through better technology and new methods, we've been doing it for centuries and will continue to do AGW or no AGW. "TSI measurements still leave questions that need answers." TSI varies by less than 0.1% between solar maximum and solar minimum. Again I suspect you're out of your depth on the science. "The warming observed is inline with a trend that's been observed for centuries." Simply untrue, warming over the last century is unprecedented since at least the establishment of this interglacial period (there may have been similar rates of warming during the glacial to interglacial transition - about 12,000 years ago).

  1741. @vansen-qod  "woman" was "adult human female" with no ambiguity until a couple of decades ago, it's analogous to words like: vixen, cow, sow, doe and hen. Perhaps you should look up the definitions of those words.

  1743. ​@sarahmurphy-nf4yl there is no one who's studied the Van Allen Belts who claims that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. Sibrel likes to point out they've been described as "deadly" and "dangerous", well, no one is going to raise an eyebrow if I described the roads using similar terms.
    2
  1744. There isn't a single claim offered by Sibrel that isn't easily refuted. I'm left doubting you ever did any research to debunk the conspiracy, rather, all your "research" was aimed at confirming your conspiracy beliefs.

  1749. Nothing on the Saturn V / Apollo launch vehicle was reusable. The only rocket powered vertical landing of the missions was the descent stage landing on the moon, in 1/6th gravity and without an atmosphere, a far easier task than a rocket powered landing of a launch vehicle stage on Earth.
    2
  1750. @LorileiSuesHonestReviews  for those of us who've spent years learning the technical side of the various nations space programs, Sibrel's claims are egregiously false. When you apply math to his claims, or facts that he conceals, from his audience, it's hard to rule out deliberate deception on his part. I tend to assume confirmation bias, but, as an example: When the word "talk"(?) is heard during the discussion between the astronauts and mission control on the way to the moon, it's taken from a publicly available broadcast. (Not secret) The broadcast was 15 minutes long, it was on day 1 of the mission, they were 95,000km from Earth, so the round trip radio delay was just 0.65 seconds. Throughout the 15 minute broadcast, the remainder of the conversation makes it obvious that the delay is indeed less than a second. So how can Sibrel claim that the CIA was directing them to fake a 4 second delay?? Sibrel's claim makes no sense.
    2
  1751.  @LorileiSuesHonestReviews  @56fairbank has put up a lengthy debunking of Sibrel's claims. Unfortunately you'll have to switch to "newest" comments and scroll back 11 hours to your original comment to see it.
    2
  1752.  @LorileiSuesHonestReviews  the way to determine if his "facts" are true, is to actually look at the evidence for and against his claims.
    2
  1753. Sibrel's claims don't rise to the level of being a theory, mostly he just lies. Any and all of the "empirical evidence" he offers is easily refuted, which is why, as he has admitted, he will not debate any of the people who take issue with his fabrications.

  1764. There isn't a single person who's studied the Van Allen Belts who says that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts. The blueprints for all of the Apollo spacecraft are available to the public, nothing has been lost. The reason that the initial broadcast was transmitted that way was that, due to limited bandwidth, the frame rate transmitted from the moon was lower than standard, making the direct live conversion to broadcast impossible at the time.

  1766. @nenben8759  there have been a few drag queen shows for child audiences that are clearly promoting an extremist Trans agenda, granted, these few examples are rare and get a lot of coverage. Obviously Trans people, like any other groups we can apply labels to, are a diverse bunch with some only interested in getting on with their own lives and getting on with everyone else, but with others on an over-the-top crusade against more established perspectives. I recognize that most of those pushing more extreme Trans perspectives are not themselves Trans but looking to role more established current beliefs for ideologies that have little to do with Trans issues at all.

In the second place, Ukraine is more important to Ukrainians than it is to Nato or Russia, that is why Ukrainians have been fighting so hard and for so long. In the third place Ukraine deaths are certainly below 100,000. Military deaths probably around 50,000. Please stop getting your misinformation (as HT does) directly from the Kremlin.

Which parts of the world are now under the rule of the colonial powers rather than the people who live there? For the Western democracies the only overseas territories are overseas departments of France and territories like American Samoa that choose not to be independent countries. A colonial power is reasonably defined as a country that subjugates the population of another country, today that would be Russia which is attempting to take away Ukraine sovereignty through military action.

  1818. @YUD0NSAY 111  Merkel said the Minsk agreement gave Ukraine time, as in time to prepare for Putin's invasion, there was no "admission" that Ukraine or western countries were going to initiate aggression. There are no biological weapons labs. The conflict in the Donbas had dropped from 2000 civilian deaths in 2014 to around 20-25 civilian deaths a year in recent years, and most of the deaths in recent years have been due to landmines and explosive remnants of war planted or expended in the earlier years. In recent years civilian deaths a year due to shelling was less than 10, that's on both sides. Compare that to the tens of thousands of civilians who have died from Russian shelling and bombing in the last 15 months. The heavy weapons claim is Russian propaganda, a justification for an invasion similar to that which Hitler used, Hitler invaded several of his neighbors after claiming they were planning aggression against Germany.

    1
  1921.  @Vikram_Ivanovich_Lopes  why did Stalin claim a need to move the border away from Leningrad, was there a fear that Finland was going to invade the Soviet Union? Really? More likely that was a ruse to move the jump off point for the invasion of Finland further to the West, to the Soviet Union's obvious advantage. I believe that was the Finish, and British assessment of the Soviet Strategy.

  1926.  @Злобныйприцеп  the only European countries allied with Germany at the start of the war were: The Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy and Austria. Finland, was driven into the arms of Germany by Soviet aggression, all other Europen countries under Germany occupation fought against a Germany or Soviet invasion before being defeated.
    1
  1927.  @Злобныйприцеп  your ad hominem doesn't appear publicly. I'm betting your understanding of ww2 has been grossly distorted by Russian propaganda. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939, divided Eastern Europe between Hitler and Stalin, Hitler getting Stalin's endorsement to invade territories including half of Poland, Stalin getting Hitler's endorsement to invade Finland, the Baltic states, half of Poland and most of Romania.

  1930.  @Злобныйприцеп  the Munich agreement was a naive attempt to appease Hitler to avoid a larger war, it failed, Chamberlain is condemned in Britain for his naively. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was an arrangement between Hitler and Stalin to initiate war on their smaller neighbor's and avoid conflict between Germany and the Soviet Union. Stalin naively thought he could trust Hitler to honor his commitment to avoid conflict with the Soviet Union. Prior to Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, Stalin was warned by Britain that Germany was about to attack the USSR, Stalin chose not to believe the British, choosing to trust Hitler.
    1
  1931.  @Злобныйприцеп  Chamberlain is condemned in Britain for the Munich agreement. Few Russian's condemn Stalin for his agreement with Hitler to invade countries in central Europe. Chamberlain was foolishly trying to avoid a European wide war. Stalin was in cahoots with Hitler in starting that war.

  2000. @junetalon8796  yep, I always go back to how such things work in other social mammals. Obviously they have instinctive gender roles. For us, it's the same, but with a cultural overlay.

  2001. @junetalon8796  that's the cultural overlay.
    1
  2002. @junetalon8796  perhaps the "gender is a social construct" claim is based more on an ideological agenda: women are oppressed by the patriarchy, if only that oppression were to end more women would be mechanics, drainlayers and plumbers.
    1
  2003. @junetalon8796  that's a genuine question. You see massive shifts and ascribe them to cultural changes pushing aside traditional gender roles, I see the expected shifts in culture that are entirely expected given more significant changes driven by other interrelated factors.
    1
  2004. @junetalon8796  the different gender psychology gives each gender a bias towards pursuing the roles available in a society that best fit each genders innate psychology. That is the opposite of "gender is a social construct." gender is real and innate and gravitates towards the preferred roles.
    1
  2005. @junetalon8796  what evidence do you have that that wasn't largely the case? People in past times thought differently to how we do now. A century ago the unscaled IQ of European peoples was 20 points lower than today, a massive difference (look up Flynn Effect). In West Africa today FGM is a tradition promoted and enforced, not by the patriarchy as people imagine, but by the tribal matriarchies. Mothers in the times you mention brought up their daughters to adhere to the social narratives that existed at the time, just as you adhere to certain currently fashionable social narratives. People are far more individualistic today compared to past generations. Back then you were expected to make sacrifices in terms of personal freedom for the sake of the family that you were very dependent on. An analogy can be drawn with the military. In the army you have to conform because nonconformity can result in disastrous outcomes when the pressure is on.
    1
  2006. @junetalon8796  the evidence also is that feminism, in its current forms, is recent. Since I referred to it, this from an article on FGM in Liberia: "In 2012, female genital cutting was a taboo subject in Liberia. Though women’s activists had done heroic work to kill the practice, Liberia’s political leaders, including President Sirleaf, avoided the topic. They feared enraging the powerful traditional societies that dominate politics in 10 of Liberia’s 16 tribes. The women’s secret society known as Sande—an ancient organization with its own traditions and religious beliefs, which predates Islam and Christianity—claims that cutting a girl’s genitals is essential for her passage to adulthood."

  2009. @princesmooth8302  you're not in a position to judge the morale, Russia has mostly been putting refurbished older Soviet equipment into the field. Those stores are running low. If other countries continue to supply Ukraine at rates similar to that which they have, Ukraine's position in equipment will improve over Russia's. Neither country is close to running out of men, both have millions of men fit for military service, Ukraine currently has its minimum conscription age at 25, Russia has conscription from 18.

  2010. @princesmooth8302  the number of men Ukraine has 25-55 is about 7.5 million. Don't buy Kremlin propaganda on Ukraine casualties, actual are around 150,000, including injured. Those that left Ukraine were the women and children. Putin started the conflict using their best equipment, now they're more reliant on Soviet era gear from storage. If you disagree, name this more modern equipment that they're keeping back. Ukraine on the other hand started off with less sophisticated equipment from the West with steadily more expensive and advanced equipment coming in more recently, more Patriot batteries are arriving soon, then F16's with the munitions they carry. The F16's will push Russian aircraft further back from the front lines.

  2030. @BlarglemanTheSkeptic2  There's a gender instinct, that is, there's an instinct to differentiate between male and female gender and to conform to the cultural norms for those two genders. Trans people who see themselves as male in female bodies and vice versa feel that (I'm not trans but accept their gender disphoria as a genuine part of them) it's internal and not a "social construct" somehow imposed on them. Obviously how gender norms are expressed vary from culture to culture, but the existence of those norms are real and exist in all cultures, that is, within cultures there are distinct female and male clothing styles and makeup and people are most comfortable dressing up to fit with their gender in their culture.

  2046. 3,900 tons of bombs were dropped on Dresden. As an F15 or F16 can carry around 7.5 tons of munitions, over twice the load of those ww2 bombers that attacked Dresden. Israel has about 240 F15 and F16 aircraft, 2 sorties by each, could drop more than was dropped on Dresden. Much of the destruction in Dresden was from a firestorm of the structures burning, whereas in Gaza it's the bombs themselves directly causing the destruction. Israel has been bombing Gaza for months. So, I'd say it's likely that the claim of more tons of bombs dropped on Gaza than Dresden is correct.

  2052. ​ @Thewhippedhippie I've no idea what "foreigners influences missiles on the Russian border" is supposed to mean. Ukraine couldn't join Nato. The conflict in the Donbas had declined to a level that civilian deaths in 2021 were less than 1% of what they were in 2008. Ukraine was not prepared for major conflict on the borders - that's obvious from the rapid advances that Russia initially made in their invasion in February 2022. Putin has made it clear over the last 2 years (and in his writings before that) that he sees Ukraine as Russian territory. That's why he invaded. In the West, since the end of imperialism, the view has been that countries belong to the people who live there, not to neighboring imperialist's like Putin.

In LEO the spacecraft would be in line of sight with those stations only occasionally, and for less than 10 minutes at a time. The tracking dishes were pointed at tge spacecraft en route to the moon, they weren't following rapidly moving spacecraft traveling across the sky in LEO.

  2095. @G-ra-ha-m  I thought you'd given up on your weird argument after I'd explained how the hot/cold cycle would have caused dust to slide from sloping surfaces. Another factor being micrometeors, over billions of years, blowing dust off of highers surfaces, causing it to settle on lower surfaces, those effects have led to the rounded nature of the lunar topography. The petrified wood sample didn't come from Nasa or any astronauts.

  2109.  @HANSMKAMP  of course you don't believe it, you've been fed a carefully constructed narrative through anti western outlets, supported by the same narrative on social media by Russian troll farms. There are other falsehoods that are also fed in to support the narrative: That Zelensky wasn't democratically elected - he was in 2019, beating incumbent president Petro Poreshenko. That Ukraine killed 14,000 civilians in the Donbas - total civilian casualties 2014-21 was 4000, 1000 of those in 2014, 900 in 2015. In the 3 years between Zelensky being elected and the February 2022 invasion by Russia the civilian death toll was about 75 on both sides, and the majority of those were from landmines and unexploded munitions mostly planted or fired in earlier years. In those 3 years the civilian death toll from active military operations was about 10 per year on both sides, the conflict was petering out, with static lines of control. Life was actually fairly on both sides in the Donbas. There's a UN monitor report online with the details. After Yanukovych fled there was an armed revolt in the Donbas supported by Moscow that attacked police stations and other government people and facilities that didn't support the revolt, so it was the separatists that initiated the violence, it was after that that the violence really kicked off with efforts by the Ukraine government to suppress the revolt. Russia supported the revolt and war against Ukraine from the outset - (Putin actually acknowledged that in one interview).

  2110.  @HANSMKAMP  you've also no doubt been fed the narrative that opposition parties have all been banned in Ukraine. That's a half truth, explicitly pro-Russian parties were initially banned after the 2022 invasion, but their ministers of parliament were not, the Party for Life, was banned, but it's leader ethnic Russian Yuriy Anatoliyovych Boyko simply renamed it the Platform for Life and Peace and it and its MPs remain in the Ukraine parliament to this day.

The rich invest their wealth in businesses that employ much of the population, it's not possible to just wave a magic wand and end poverty. Currently there's a certain amount of wealth generated for consumption each year, despite what you imagine, the consumption of wealth by the truly wealthy, if redistributed across the other 95% of the population, would make little difference to incomes.

  2143. @rayhogan796  check my math, but: Assume 10,000 kw (about 10 Abrams tank engines) heat generation for 30 minutes (that should be enough time to travel several km.) This comes to (10,000,000 × 60 × 30) 18,000,000,000 joules (1 watt = 1 joule per second). Water heat of fusion is 334J/gm, specific heat capacity 4.2J/gm. So turning ice into water at 20C absorbs 418J/gm. To absorb all that 18,000,000,000 joules of energy would require: 18,000,000,000/418 = 43,062,000 grams of ice = 43.062 metric tons of ice.

  2172. I think that geography has a lot to do with where a civilization can first get established. Like an egg, a new civilization needs a shell as a defense against the barbarians. That shell is natural geography, if the natural geography is inadequate for defense, after becoming established a civilization will supplement that natural defense with other barriers. if you look at where civilizations were first established and grew you'll see that they had natural protection in the form of mountain ranges, major rivers, seas, deserts at their boundaries. I know of no early civilization developing to any great degree without such natural defenses, I can point to huge areas of the Earth without such natural defenses where people have lived and fought for millennia without developing the basics needed to grow a civilization.

Why would the West need to destroy Russia? What's to be gained? Far better if Russia were to join the West, as most of the rest of Eastern Europe has done. You seem to think that an impoverished Russia is to the West's advantage, how is that? China's strong economy has been a huge benefit to Western economies, the cheaper manufactured goods a boon to western consumers.

  2214.  @lilidezman624  Luke said Ukraine has never attacked Russia, your NYT article, claiming the use of cluster bombs by Ukraine in the Donbas, doesn't contradict Luke's claim.

  2215.  @lukebandolino882  there are good grounds to believe that there were war crimes committed by both sides in the Donbas in 2014, arguably Ukrainian forces were responsible for much of the worst of it. However, the civilian deaths quickly tailed off after 2014, from about 2,000 in that year to 900 in 2015, that decline in civilian casualties continued so that in 2021 it was down to around two dozen civilians killed on both sides, with the majority of those deaths being front landmines and explosive remnants of war expended in the earlier years of the conflict. Total civilian deaths 2014-2021 was about 3,500. With it's February 2022 invasion, Russia, which used it's reliance on concentrated artillery fire, increased the rate of civilian deaths in the Donbas from that two dozen a year to over ten thousand in a year.
    1
  2216.  @lilidezman624  the claim that the west got rich from cheap Russian energy or poverty in the rest of the world is a political myth. Russia sold fossil fuels to Europe at fair prices and benefitted from the transaction. Poverty throughout the world has been rapidly declining through trade with western countries. Life expectancy and education levels in Africa are now higher than in western Europe in the 1920's. These facts are easy to check.
    1
  2217.  @lukebandolino882  you said "Putin claimed Russian speakers in the Donbas. . . . Being slaughtered by Ukraine" There's a strong case that some were victims of Ukraine war crimes. That's what I was addressing.
    1
  2218.  @lilidezman624  the Donbas was part of Ukraine. Putin encouraged Yanukovych to go back on his commitment to sign the EU association agreement. I wonder how much Putin encouraged the revolt in the Donbas when Yanukovych fled, it was when that armed insurrection occurred with armed attacks on government buildings and officials that the conflict kicked off.

  2220.  @lilidezman624  the majority of voters in each and every oblast voted for Ukraine's independence in 1991, that includes the Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea. Russia then recognized the then Ukraine territory and promised to protect Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity.
    1
  2221.  @lilidezman624  the Donbas revolt was not a mass movement, it was a coordinated armed insurrection, the protests that forced Yanukovych to flee were hundreds of thousands strong and those hundreds of thousands were not all armed to the teeth. Nor were they under the mind control powers of Victoria Nuland. After Yanukovych fled there was peace throughout Ukraine except in the parts of the Donbas where the insurrection occurred. Within 3 months there were presidential elections, then 5 years later and on scedule the following election occurred in which Zelensky defeated incumbent Petro Poreshenko. Since that election the amount of conflict in the Donbas had continued to decline - until the February 2022 Russian invasion.

  2222.  @lilidezman624  every country, except possibly Japan, is a mix of many nations. What counts is whether or not those people build a coherent national identity. That has certainly happened in Ukraine outside of separatist Donbas. It's how it is in most European countries today, where such a national identity didn't exist - the former Yugoslavia, the country disintegrated, Czechoslovakia ended up dividing into two countries because there were two national identities each stronger than the united identity.
    1
  2223.  @lilidezman624  it's annoying that links can't be posted, I'm not sure what the different story is, that the US controlled the Ukraine population? Turned Ukrainians against their leader, rather than the fear created by Yanukovych with his effort to move Ukraine back towards Russia and away from the EU doing the job? You don't have to look very far to see how strongly Russian rule across Eastern Europe alienated East Europeans towards Moscow, most of Eastern Europe fled to the EU and nato as fast as their little legs could carry them, once they got the chance.

  2224.  @lilidezman624  most countries have hate crimes, I could write up sizable lists for numerous of them, many would be far worse than Ukraine. That's putting such crimes into context, not excusing them. So unless you've similar condemnation for all those other countries you're just looking for justifications to demonize one country you have a bias against.
    1
  2225.  @lilidezman624  re hate crimes. There's a site nationmaster that tries to compare countries, Ukraine ranks better than most, far better than the US, Russia, UK and most other countries, the data I found is from 2014, and should not be taken as totally reliable, but as an indication. Ukraine has a national identity, it's origins are irrelevant. Ukraine parliament has elected representatives elected using a proportional voting system, the policies of those representatives gives a good indication of how nazi the population is. There isn't any evidence that nazism is a problem. When Russia invaded 60,000 foreign students, most of them from the Indian subcontinent and Africa fled the country - fled from the Russian invasion, not from Ukrainians.
    1
  2226.  @lukebandolino882  I agree completely. Though I think Ukraine had poor control over some units (notably Azov) the Ukraine government was proactive in dealing with the problem, most of the leadership of azov was forced out and the unit was brought under direct government control after 2014. In the recent Russian invasion it has been Russian and allied forces that have been responsible for the vast majority of the war crimes that have occurred.

As a bonus, I can tell you that my wifes car has more computing power than either the X15 or the early SR71's. So by your logic, we've lost the technology to build those aircraft.

  2284. @angryfoetus  I don't know what point you're trying to make, the illegality of homosexuality throughout much of the world until recently was a product of popular sentiments of the people, sentiments enforced by law because they were widely held by substantial majorities of those countries populations. Religions are only popular so long as they preach what people want to hear, Christianity has survived for 2000 years because Christian scripture can be interpreted in ways that fit with the vastly different cultures that have existed in Christian communities over those centuries.

  2285. @angryfoetus  in my reply to liammacann I explain that when a society is under more pressure, the demand for conformity of its members is greater. That's why liberalism is a modern era phenomenon and was nonexistent in ancient times. The diversity tollerated in liberalism can only exist when a society has high levels of wealth and security, both in terms of resources and in terms of low external threats.

Pretending that I didn't say something that I did, does not make you clever, quite the opposite.
    1
  2297. @SuperMoshady  the trajectory of gas particles is altered by gravity, just as anything thrown, in a gravitational field they follow a ballistic trajectory.
    1
  2298. @SuperMoshady  "no scientific evidence" now you're being silly, what scientists can you round up to support your claim? I can tell you that at Earth's surface an object in freefall will accelerate at 10 metres per second squared, on the moon an object in freefall will accelerate at 1.6 metres per second squared. What force is causing that acceleration?
    1
  2299. @SuperMoshady  a couple of questions, since I'm not totally familiar with flat Earth physics: What keeps the oceans in their basins, if not gravity? If I have a 100 metre high container filled with gas, and strong enough so that the pressure of the gas inside is not affected by the pressure outside, if the pressure at the bottom is exactly 1 atmosphere, will the pressure at the top be exactly the same? We're doing this at night, and it's insulated, so we can ignore thermal considerations.
    1
  2300.  @SuperMoshady  helium balloons don't fall because they're less dense than air, balloons filled with air are more dense than air and do fall.
    1
  2301. @SuperMoshady  why doesn't water just float out of it's basins if there's no such thing as gravity? A hyperthetical container 100 metres tall. Call it a hermatically sealed building if you like.
    1
  2302. @SuperMoshady  in the real world gravity holds the water down, making it level (allowing for waves) I was wondering what your world used in place of gravity. Regarding the atmosphere being created at ground level (though strangely no one is able to catch this new air under a tarpaulin). What's the flux supposed to be?

  2303.  @SuperMoshady  oh, and how does a spirit level work without gravity?
    1
  2304.  @SuperMoshady  how does it (a spirit level) work then (having used them a zillion times).
    1
  2305. @SuperMoshady  it may seem strange to you, but the natural laws, as deciphered by histories great scientists, fit observation really well. The globe Earth model worked well for navigators and other explorers for many hundreds of years. Scientists do observe that gas molecules, like water molecules, have weight in a gravitational field.
    1
  2306. @SuperMoshady  they're supposed to work in a gravitational field, they don't work without a gravitational field.
    1
  2307. @SuperMoshady  Earth's gravitational field is what accelerates things towards Earth at 10m/s/s.
    1
  2308. @SuperMoshady  air pressure declines by about 10% per 1000 metres in altitude. If that difference in pressure is due to an influx of air at the surface, assuming gravity is not the cause of this pressure difference, how much air would need to be introduced, and how quickly would the air move to maintain the pressure difference? We can turn the problem sideways: how high would windspeeds be if there were a horizontal pressure difference of 10% per 1000 metres across the Earth's surface? The answer is super hurricane force. No matter how high wind speeds can get, there has never been such a difference in horizontal barometric pressure over the Earth's surface of that size recorded. For the observed altitude pressure difference to exist independent of gravity, there would have to be a continuous hurricane coming out of the ground.
    1
  2309. @SuperMoshady  thrown a ball up, it comes down. Gravity. Anything to do with weight. Gravity.
    1
  2310.  @SuperMoshady  so what causes the difference in pressure with altitude? Why don't the oceans float out of their basins if there is no gravity?
    1
  2311. @SuperMoshady  in a gravitational field objects in fluids, and fluids that don't mix, separate according to their density. Why do balloons filled with air fall to the ground while balloons filled with helium float in air? Why does oil float on water?
    1
  2312. @SuperMoshady  without a gravitational field objects of different densities do not separate. Gravitational fields create the up and down directions. You haven't addressed how there can be the atmospheric density gradient observed, absent gravity, without hurricane strength winds from the surface up to the sky.
    1
  2313. @SuperMoshady  if you had a tunnel 6 miles long, the pressure at one end was sea level pressure, at the other end a quarter of that (the air pressure at 6 miles altitude) how fast, and how much air flow would be needed to maintain that pressure difference? Again, the answer is super hurricane force wind flow.
    1
  2314. @SuperMoshady  your theory is false, that's why no hurricane winds. I've given up on rolling around in the mud with a pig.
    1
  2315. @SuperMoshady  you experience a gravitational field every second of your life. If you've managed to blind yourself to your own reality that completely, I doubt there's anything anyone can do to make you see. Any sane human would quickly understand that gravity pulls everything downwards. It's pointless arguing with someone so thoroughly indoctrinated. The fanatic never sees his own fanaticism. He's blind to other perspectives. Water is held down by gravity, so is air and everything else with mass, all material objects have mass, weight is the gravitational attraction of mass to mass. A lot of mass results in a lot of weight. In a fluid, everything is still pulled down in a gravitational field, with more dense objects displacing less dense objects. These are straightforward issues understood by everyone able to apply critical thought to the issue. I will not reply to you again.

  2320.  @КонстантинСаченко-о3й  the Minsk agreements failed because fighting continued after the ceasefire dates, the fighting was mutual and due to the exact position of the line of control not being included in the agreements. The separatist believing that some areas occupied by Ukrainian troops were rightfully theirs. Russian propaganda claims it was all Ukraine and the Wests fault the agreements didn't successfully lead to an immediate ceasefire, but the fault was arguably due to faults in the agreements from them being put together under time pressure. But after Minsk 2 there was a steady decline in the level of conflict with the civilian death toll in 2015 (900) being less than half of what it was in 2014, (2000) after 2015 the number of civilian deaths declined more rapidly, in recent years active military operations taking less than 10 civilian lives a year on both sides. There were major cities within easy artillery range on both sides of the line of control, inhabitants of those cities were not living in daily fear of being bombed or shelled. Claims to the contrary were Russian propaganda to justify their invasion.

For instance, in the US, being trans is far more popular in some states than in others, in the Western world, more popular in some countries than in others. If the true issue was innate gender disphoria, would we see such a strong correlation with young, trendy, far left progressives and not across the entire population?

  2336.  @alterdrache  you should go check up on how little conflict there has actually been in the Donbas since Zelinsky was elected in 2019. Answer: Very little.
    1
  2337.  @alterdrache  There had been no change in the line of control for years and the level of conflict had dropped to a level where there were less than 10 civilian deaths from artillery and gunfire or other military actions on both sides each year for over 3 years. Compare that to the tens of thousands of civilians killed in the Donbas by Russia since February 2022. So no, they were under no threat from Ukraine. The reality is that Russian was running a propaganda campaign claiming that there was enough violence going on in the Donbas to justify their invasion when there was not.

We have "objective" morality as long as you define "objective" in terms of humanity, rather than inanimate universal laws, and we can have the very mailable "subjective" morality in terms of our complex interwoven "cultures"?

  2360. sasilik: "Newborn baby has already some moral concepts?" I think they do, even though those moral concepts don't necessarily express themselves from birth but develop as the child develops, young children rarely try to actually kill each other even though they are physically capable of doing so, we see similar moral restraints on other animals, lion cub siblings could also kill each other, but don't.
    1
  2361. Skeptic Psychologist Three year olds are easily physically able to inflict mortal wounds on each other with readily available objects, they frequently inflict minor injuries on each other but very, very rarely go further, in fact off hand I don't know of any example of a young child hitting another child with a brick or stabbing another with a sharp object and causing death. You're right, they're very egocentric and lack the ability to consciously understand the effects of their actions. These facts are evidence that they're restrained through innate controls that prevent actions that seriously damage each other. Guns are obviously another matter, but we didn't evolve with guns.
    1
  2362. Skeptic Psychologist, I think you're more casting doubt than looking at reality. 3 year olds are not averse to assaulting each other, to dismiss the rarity of actions between them resulting in serious injury or death on mislabeling, absence of suitable victims ,rarity of opportunity or lack of means beggars belief. Young kids hold back from seriously hurting each other, I have several of kids, I once was a kid, my observation and experience is that they innately know not to go too far, and if the next step is suggest that maybe it's because their parents tell them not to fight or hurt each other that's not realistic. When I say that young children using readily available objects, (hard heavy and sharp objects that have been around children for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years) to assault each other without subconscious consideration of the risk of serious harm is rare, I mean rare to a degree at which more than, I think, chance or luck would account for, take a million 3 year olds, multiply by 10 years and I doubt there would be more than a handful of serious assaults involving heavy, hard or sharp objects, but there would be millions of minor assaults and hundreds of thousands of armed assaults in which the assailant held back, choosing not to inflict the damage they are physically able to. We can also look at the rest of the animal kingdom where instincts not to seriously hurt siblings, or with some animals, instincts to eliminate siblings, demonstrates a marked consistency of behaviour within species.
    1
  2363. I haven't been able to find a single example of a child less than 5 years old deliberately assaulting another child with a sharp or heavy object in such a way as to kill. Given the hundreds of millions of children that age, and young children's propensity to assault each other, the suggestion that it's all down to luck or worldwide good parental supervision rather than children having an innate restraint in their assaults on each other defies reason.
    1
  2364. " . . Kids don't kill or harm each other deliberately just because they don't know anything," No they do harm each other, frequently, they assault each other far, far more often than adults assault each other. "Its like saying that rocks have morals against killing because they dont' kill each other." Do you really think that's a reasonable analogy? Really? "Kids are not able to do anything really" Have you had no experience with children?? My youngest is 3, he can bash things with a hammer, fasten a seat belt, move a chair from the dinning room to get into the top kitchen cupboards to nick biscuits and gets into all sorts of other mischief, would he be physically capable of seriously injuring another child? You bet, but - and this is a huge but - he's not psychologically capable of doing it, no children his age are, it's against their nature. "And yes, its all down to good parental supervision, nothing to do with any innate morals." You've obviously had no experience with children in the real world. Frankly, in your desperation you're resorting to nonsense.

  2365. “The child is a natural moralist, who gets a huge helping hand from its biological makeup,” writes de Waal in The Bonobo and the Atheist.

  2410. 1. A country belongs to the people that live there, ruling Ukraine, a country clearly with a national identity, from Moscow, is imperialism. 2. The UN observers mission has published civilian casualty rates in the Donbas conflict since 2014. They put total civilian deaths through to February 2022 at about 3,400. Of that total, about 2,900 were killed in 2014 and 2015. The civilian death rate on both sides in recent years, since before Zelensky was elected in 2019, is about two dozen a year, the majority of those deaths being caused by explosive remnants of war and landmines expended and planted in the earlier years of the conflict. Yearly civilian deaths on both sides from active military operations has been less than 10 each year in those recent years. 3. The only nuclear weapons that nato has had deployed in continental Europe since the end of the Cold War are B61 free fall bombs designated to be carried on the F16 and Tornado aircraft of 5 European air forces (Dutch, Belgian, Italian, German and Turkish) the 6 bases where these weapons are located, are all over 2,000 km from Moscow. There is no possibility that Nato would suddenly deploy these weapons closer to Russia or deploy other nuclear weapons in Europe (Europeans stood against such deployments, stopping them, in the past).

About a quarter say too little, and a quarter don't know. That's why the politicians are providing the money they are. Democrats are much more in favor of providing the support than Republicans. If a survey asked people if the US should spend hundreds of billions on new moon missions (there probably are such surveys), I expect a clear majority would say no.

There are no aircraft flying today that can do what those aircraft could do then. With your logic, that means those aircraft couldn't have been real.

If Christian Churches still wished to punish heretics the religion would quickly die because adherents would not find such punishment acceptable today - but once they would have.

  2489. I haven't seen the movie. I was surprised that your take is so different to that of Aba & Preach, who saw a lot of depth that you appear to have missed, they see it as depicting the problems of reality, definitely not glorifying these problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJwJRpJMes
    1
  2490. Well, given the difference in opinion between Sydney and Aba & Preach, I thought I'd watch the movie. I agree with Aba & Preach. In the context of the story: Centered around an 11 year old girl and her peers growing into THAT stage of their lives, trying to be older than they are - something hardly unusual with girls of that age, I thought the scenes in the movie were in context. Sydney may never have gone through that pre-teen phase, but many do. The security Guard was certainly intended to be an unattractive pedo - so his eyeing up of the girls was not being viewed approvingly. In the final dance scene the over-the-top sexualization of the girls dance was seen as distasteful by many of those viewing in the dance audience, and it was obviously the intent for that distaste to be shared by those in the films audience. At the very end it's clear that the main character realized she'd been wrong trying to grow up too soon, in large part a form of rebellion against her family life, and we're left with the impression she'd leaned to be herself at her age. Is this film exceptional in it's scenes of sexualization of underage girls? I'd compare it to Olivia Hussey at 15 in 1968's Romeo & Juliet and Brooke Shields at 14 in The Blue Lagoon, both of which were shown to my classes in 8th and 9th grade. In both of those movies the levels of nudity on display were considerably greater than in Cuties (Cuties being the name of the girls dance group). So, all said and done, I think this film has been a target of leftist thought police efforts at censorship because, hey, us average people are not able to make these calls for ourselves, only the thought police know what we should be allowed to watch, we're apparently not capable of seeing any context and the true message, apparently because we're all shallow pedos.

  2493. Why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude?
    1
  2494. ​ @VaxWax-z5y so you acknowledge that as you increase in altitude pressure falls. Why? You've not given an explanation.
    1
  2495. ​ @VaxWax-z5y in this context "falls" means declines or decreases. That is obvious given context. I realize by "left effect" you mean "aerodynamic lift". The air in our atmosphere is trapped by gravity, to escape Earth's gravity an object needs an escape velocity of 11km/s. Air molecules move far slower than that at normal temperatures.
    1
  2496. ​ @VaxWax-z5y of course gravity pulls gases towards Earth, only flat earthers claim it doesn't. Aircraft fly using aerodynamic surfaces that push air down, helicopters are rotary wing aircraft, planes are fixed wing aircraft. Obviously, with action/reaction, when the wing pushes air down, air pushes the wing up.
    1
  2497.  @VaxWax-z5y  gravity pulls on all matter, a large object like the earth is pulled into a sphere. Gases are matter, so pulled towards the center of Earth by Earth's gravity. Earth's escape velocity is 11km/s, so too high for atmospheric gas molecules to escape. Gravity explains why the air is at higher pressure near Earth's surface, gravity explains why there's more pressure as you go deeper into the ocean. You still have offered no explanation for the greater pressure at lower altitudes in the atmosphere.
    1
  2498.  @VaxWax-z5y  if you light a camp fire the fire creates heat, hot air is less dense than cold air, so the hot air rises (hot air balloon), as the hot air from the fire rises it carries fine particles (smoke) with it. Denser objects will fall through fluids (liquids and gases) that are less dense. Ships float because the combined air and structure of ships is less dense than water, replace the air in a ship with water, which is denser than air, and the combined density of the ship structure and that water will be greater than the water in the ocean and the ship will sink. It's not complicated.

There's always bias and misinformation, so there's always room for doubt and skepticism is essential. But if you choose to reject the weight of evidence available, without sound reasoning behind that decision, you're just doing what the flat earthers do: reject what you don't like, and assume all evidence that contradicts what you want to believe is just a giant conspiracy.

The Apollo missions avoided the main parts of the belts and weren't in the weaker part long enough for the astronauts to get serious exposure. In a vacuum, there's no air to slow you down. Once they achieved the 11km/s to get to the moon, they didn't need to expend any more fuel to get there. The math to calculate if the Saturn- Apollo stack could get to the moon and back of actually quite simple, using the public information on required delta V, vehicle mass ratios, and rocket exhaust velocities anyone of average intelligence can do it.

  2541. Hilarious that a flurfer would try to use entropy as an argument, and in so doing demonstrate he doesn't have a clue about what entropy is. As far as the atmosphere goes, as you rise through the atmosphere the pressure falls, the pressure is a result of the weight of air above (same thing as in the ocean, the deeper, the more weight of water pushing down from above) as gravity pulls it towards Earth's center, rise high enough, and the pressure falls to zero.

  2547. @artistart55  the space shuttle wasn't capable of going higher than low earth orbit (LEO). with reduced payload and extra propellant pack for its orbital maneuvering system, it could technically reach 1200km altitude. I don't think it ever did, because there was no reason to. LEO velocity is about 8km/s, to get as high as the moons orbit requires 11.1km/s. The closer you are to Earth, the higher the change in velocity that's required for each km of altitude increase.

  2563.  @artkutyuska9842  to determine the size of the warhead you'd need to do an on-site analysis, these factors will have a significant effect on the amount of damage that's apparent from your phone: What materials is the building built from. How heavy is the construction, how much reinforcing is in the structure. How was the blast directed, some warheads focus the explosive energy forward to penetrate into structures, others are more disbursed in the direction of the blast. Where in or near the structure was the detonation, at ground level, inside but near the roof, outside? A 50kg warhead could do more damage to a lightly constructed building than a 500kg warhead to a heavily constructed and reenforced building. Also rule of thumb, a 10x larger warhead only causes 3x the damage, much of the energy released is wasted.
    1
  2564.  @artkutyuska9842  you can't judge the size of the warhead by looking at your phone, there are unknowns, like exactly where in the building it detonated, and how heavily was the building constructed. In the Oklahoma bombing there would have been little damage if a poorly secured beam not been lifted off its supports, when it moved, all the structures above it was left unsupported.

The decision-making center of the Ukrainian security forces was located there." That makes it one of the earliest reports from Russia on the strike. After that, as we know, the story changed. So now I think misidentified target rather than stray missile.

Entitled: Ukrainian security officials annihilated near Ohmatdyt children's hospital. In the story: "Russian forces hit an inconspicuous building near the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv. The decision-making center of the Ukrainian security forces was located there." So as I see it, more misidentified target than stray missile.

Your comments about acceleration to get to the moon demonstrate a great lack of understanding of the physics involved, so I couldn't refer you to more technical books on rocketry and orbital mechanics. You could familiarize yourself with the rocket equation, rocket exhaust velocities of the propellant combinations used, look at the mass ratios for each stage of an Apollo mission to get an understanding of the velocity changes each burn was capable of and compare those figures with what is required.
    1
  2623. @damianweston8670  here's a rundown of an Apollo mission (from memory) The Saturn 5 rocket at lift off weighs about 3,000 tons, it lifts off powered by 5 F1 engines, each producing about 680 tons of thrust, these burn for about 2.5 minutes accelerating the vehicle to about 2km/s. Then the first stage is dumped and the second stage takes over. The second stage is powered by 5 J2 engines, each producing a little over 100 tons of thrust, these are fueled by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. When they take over the rocket is down to about 800 tons of mass, these burn for over 8 minutes, accelerating the rocket to about 7km/s, the second stage is dumped and the third stage gives a short burn putting the 150 tons of mass remaining into low earth orbit.
    1
  2624. @damianweston8670  the astronauts and technical experts check the systems which in LEO, if everything is OK the mission continues with the firing of the 3rd stage, which is powered by a single J2 engine, this gives the rocket another 3 km/s of velocity, sending it towards the moon.
    1
  2625. @damianweston8670  when the third stage stops firing the rocket has achieved the velocity required to get it as far as the moon, it initially is moving at about 3km/s, it's coasting, unpowered, and slowly loses most of that speed climbing away from Earth. (At 3km/s it could travel as far as the moon in less than 2 days). While in transit to the moon the command and service module separates turns around, docks with the lunar module, and pulls the lunar module from the adapter, where it was housed and protected throughout the launch. The adapter and third stage are dumped.
    1
  2626. @damianweston8670  on getting to the moon the trajectory of the combined C/S module and lunar module is curved by lunar gravity, when behind the moon the service modules engine fires, slowing them enough to be captured by lunar gravity, entering lunar orbit. The lunar module fires its descent stage engine, slowing it further, to land it on the moon. After the moon walkers do their thing, they fire the lunar module ascent stage engine, using the descent stage as a launch platform, the ascent stage rendezvous with the C/S module in lunar orbit, the lunat module ascent stage is dumped, and the service module fires its engine again, putting it on a return to Earth trajectory. Before hitting Earth's atmosphere the service module is dumped, with only the tiny command module, with the astronauts aboard, undergoing reentery and parachuting into the ocean.

  2669.  @asdrubalanibal6853  nato always gives warning to countries before initiating military actions, giving opportunity for the country that transgressed to negotiate for peace. Putin gave assurances that Russia would not attack Ukraine right up to the day of the invasion. I notice you haven't offered any examples of the sneak attacks by nato that you claim have happened.

  2670.  @asdrubalanibal6853  no one has claimed nato gives an enemy a detailed copy of military plans. Russia has no right to dictate the foreign policy of other countries, so if other countries wish to join alliances that Russia is not a member of, it's none of Russia's business.

In the case of Cuba a solution was arrived at that, in exchange for removal of the missiles in Cuba, nato would base no land based missiles forward in Europe, to this day nato honors that agreement, no NATO nuclear weapons are closer than 2000km of Moscow. There have never been any plans to move them any closer than they've been for 60 years.

Japan at least has the excuse that they intended to give a couple of hours warning but their diplomat assigned the task was delayed.

Of course, the reason the US would have had concerns about the facility is because it could be used for electronic spying. If it's actually for deep space communication, the US would have no interest in it being built because space probes going to the moon and beyond (that's the "deep space" bit) have nothing to do with electronic spying. All pretty obvious to people without D-K.

Your position is 'nato bad, Russia good' and as Ukraine is opposed to Russia (as a result Russian aggression) and is supported by nato, you've chosen your side not based on the evidence concerning the conflict, but your strong ideological biases.

  2694. @mark simpson  I'm a bit skeptical about the effectiveness of attack helicopters in the military environment that exists in Ukraine. They're very useful for counter insurgency work against paramilitaries not armed with manpads, but as we've seen in Ukraine both sides have resorted to keeping such aircraft back from the front due to helicopters vulnerability. That's not such a problem for jets, which can use longer ranged weapons combined with their speed and altitude to accurately hit targets at a distance. So what can attack helicopters do that drones directing the weapons that Ukraine has or is getting (guided artillery rounds/rockets, GLSDB) can't do? I've been seeing video of Ukraine's helicopters firing rockets on ballistic trajectories to keep out of sight and range of Russian weapons, I expect those rockets are showing poor returns for the risk and investment.

  2708. So why does pressure in the atmosphere decline with increasing altitude?
    1
  2709. @socomsam  the opposite of pressure is zero pressure, and yes, a delta refers to a change. So a pressure gradient with altitude could be described as a delta in pressure with altitude. So why does the pressure in the atmosphere decline with increasing altitude?
    1
  2710. @socomsam  there is no antecedent of pressure. The question is meaningless, what is the antecedent of red, what is the antecedent of argon? Why is there a decline in pressure in the atmosphere with increasing altitude? It's a simple question: Why can't you answer it?
    1
  2711. @socomsam  obviously you're struggling to understand Oakley's argument, so I'll explain it to you. It's simply that pressure requires containment. Does that answer the question: "why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude?" No it does not, even if you believe there's a physical lid on the atmosphere, that lid does not explain the decline of air pressure with increasing altitude. So I ask again: Why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude?

  2712. @socomsam  why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude? It's a simple question, but one you're obviously unable to answer.

  2713. @socomsam  you're suggesting massive amounts of gas are coming from the surface, if that were happening there would be a rapid increase in atmospheric pressure at all altitudes, because, you know, in your model we're under a lid in a closed container.

  2728.  @SimonASNG  The boundaries of the current nations were created by the colonial powers, lumping tribes that were previously in conflict into the same countries while also splitting tribes into different countries. European countries were also once composed of many warring tribes, it also took many decades or centuries for those tribes to stop seeing each other as adversaries and for the people in those tribes to accept the people of other tribes as countrymen. Armed conflict is a certain method for reducing prosperity and it's taken decades to end such conflicts within numerous former colonies - and where those tribal or religious conflicts resurface poverty (obviously) increases.

  2746.  @angeliiique-p7s  that would depend on the facilities available. Perhaps you know what form a lunar colony and a Martian colony would take. If so, you should share your superior knowledge with the rest of humanity. Either the moon or Mars, you're not going outside without a spacesuit.

  2754. @SergePavlovsky  a ticket to Mars will cost millions. Musk and others imagine that space colonization will follow the pattern of colonization of North America. It won't.

In today's liberal societies, that level of hardship doesn't exist.

  2755. @SergePavlovsky  Musk can fantasize about millions of people going to Mars, that doesn't make it a reality.

  2778. The Euromaidan started in November 2013, it was a popular protest to President Viktor Yanukovych’s sudden decision not to sign the EU association agreement that had been worked out between the Ukraine Government and the EU. Yanukovych announced instead that he would seek closer ties with Russia. Ukraine’s parliament had overwhelmingly approved of implementing the agreement with the EU, Yanukovych changed his mind about the agreement after having a little chat with Putin. Russia pushed a narrative that it was a US plot to orchestrate a coup against Yanukovych. This narrative does not stand up to critical thought. Why would hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian’s revolt against their government because the US wanted them to? Isn’t it just a tad more likely that they were not zombies under the mind control powers of Victoria Nuland, but rather normal human beings acting in their own interests? If Victoria Nuland has the power to influence hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to revolt against their president in this way, why on earth hasn’t she been sent to Moscow?? Since the Euromaiden Revolution there have been two elections in Ukraine, in 2014, shortly after Yanukovych fled the country Petro Poroshenko was elected, in 2019 Zelinsky was successful when he stood against Poroshenko, comfortably defeating him. Poroshenko is currently actively working against the Russian aggression, both in encouraging Ukrainian’s and calling for more international support. The figure of 14,000 dead is from the UN observers, that figure includes military and paramilitary on both sides and civilian deaths. By year the civilian deaths are: 2014 2084 2015 955 2016 112 2017 117 2018 58 2019 27 2020 26 2021 25 So total civilian deaths on both sides is just over 3,400 up until the February 2022 Russian invasion. It should be noted that the level of conflict reduced substantially after 2015 and again after Zelensky was elected in 2019. The civilian deaths from active military operations in 2019 -2021 was less than half those total civilian deaths, most of the deaths being caused by explosive remnants of war and land mines expended and planted in the earlier years of the conflict. Since the February Russian invasion Russia has killed over 10,000 civilians in the Donbas through their indiscriminate shelling, which utterly destroyed Mariupol. Boyd W, your claim the Nato has pushed Ukraine towards Nato membership is nonsense, in fact Nato has done the exact opposite. It has not invited Ukraine to join and has made it clear to Ukraine that under the situation that existed between 2014 and 2022 Ukraine COULD NOT JOIN NATO. Your claim that Nato has pushed for Ukraine to host Nukes is beyond ridiculous. There are no nukes in any of the countries that joined Nato after 1990 and the only Nato nukes based in Europe are in 6 bases that hosted them prior to 1990, all of those bases are over 2000km from Moscow and the only nukes that are there are B61 free fall bombs to be carried by the aircraft of the host nations. The Crimea "referendum" happened after Russia gained control of Crimea and has been ruled illegal by the UN and is not considered to have been honest, there were no international observers permitted and there were irregularities. "Russian intel discovered Ukraine was about to launch a major offensive to attempt to steamroll the Ukrainian breakaway regions & Crimea." That claim is complete nonsense the only party that claims there was such an offensive planned is Russia, while Russia lied about it's own planned offensive right up until it was launch.

Molyneux said nothing to dispute Dr. Flynn's arguments, so I'm surprised that in this interview with Rubin that Molyneux claims that no one has a comprehensive non-genetic explanation for the differences in IQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ0W5Efp8N0

    1
  2801. @Ruetz Sven  name them, if they're B61's they're not missiles and Germany has control on their use.
    1
  2802. @Raps  the aircraft designated to carry the B61 free fall nuclear bombs in Europe are Belgian, Dutch and Turkish F16's and Italian and German Tornados, so yes, it's the host countries that ultimately decide on their use.
    1
  2803. @Raps  I'll also point our that all of the bases housing B61's are over 2,000km from Moscow and that the F16's and Tornados could not make such a journey in less than 2 hrs as that distance would require traveling at subsonic speed. The F16's would be all but out of fuel by the time they got to Moscow. This means that the B61 is little more than symbolic as a deterrent to a Russian nuclear attack, they wouldn't get off the ground before those aircraft and bases were destroyed by Russian IRBM's
    1
  2804.  @giggleparadise  as I said, the host nations aircraft would carry those bombs if they were to be used, so while they are under US control in peace time (as is required with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty) in the event of war that treaty is scrapped and those bombs are attached to the aircraft of the host nation's.

I assume that Musk's (or is it the US government that is the contractor supplying starlink?) objection is that the Russian naval base at Sevastopol has the same legal status with Ukraine as the US naval base at Guantanamo bay has with Cuba, so effectively Russian territory.

  2831. @maximusvaliant8597  if you had any brains, you'd refute the points I've made rather than just putting on a display of ignorance. Likely, as the US government is financing Ukraine's use of Starlink, it's the US government that dictates where it's used and what it can be used for.

  2833. I had a look at the article you refer to. It takes just a few minutes on the internet to find the information to address the claims made. After TLI, the C/S module disconnected from the interstage, turned around, docked nose to nose with the LM, and pulled the LM from the interstage. To do the calculations for fuel requirements requires using the rocket equation. The LM and CM were depressurized each time someone exited to space, then repressurized after they were back inside.

More like colonialism is the reality of technological disparities, if the technologies that enabled intercontinental colonialism had been developed in Indonesia instead of Europe, it would have been the Indonesians who were the colonists.
    1
  2845.  @Pulo747  colonialism, in terms of the surrender of sovereignty to a foreign country, didn't occur in New Zealand until 1840. The transfer of European technology to the Maori occurred earlier. The technology the Maori chose to import most was muskets. The Musket Wars devastated the Maori population in intertribal warfare. Those wars ended when sovereignty over New Zealand was surrendered to the British in 1840. The technology itself, even without colonialism, is a disruption that can cause massive conflict.
    1
  2846. @Pulo747  you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you introduce technology without colonialism, you get to guns as well as the plows. If you have colonialism, you get the suppression of local intertribal conflicts with the introduction of colonial power. It's not about goodies and baddies. It's delusional to judge the interactions of cultures of centuries ago by the culture that you've been brought up in. I'm not going to make such self-serving judgements, I'm not going to go around condemning the Maori people or people of PNG of centuries ago because they practiced cannibalism, I don't expect them to live by my standards.

  2866. @user-xp9ry8yh9z  after watching a lot more video, including that directly released by the police, I've had to amend my position. She did throw the pot, it's visible, upside-down on the black chair behind the end of the counter after the shooting, it can be seen steaming. When she threw the pot, she was acting instinctively. We saw a classic case of flight then fight reflex from someone who had become convinced by another person, through their threats and actions, that they were fully committed to killing her. Initially she ducked down (flight), when he started coming around the counter there was no where left for her to hide. When she threw the water, it went everywhere, including landing on her (in one shot you can see a splash of water escaping upwards as she throws). Through aggression, malice, and stupidity, Grayson forced her into a situation where she had no options other than to act desperately to try to survive.

At 28;30, immediately after the shooting the pot is steaming away on the black chair. At 16;16, when cop2 goes in after the shooting, the pot is still upside down on the black chair. At 16;20, you can hear what sounds like the pot falling to the floor and bouncing. At 16;22, you can see him picking up the pot from near the victim and passing it back between his legs, in the same frame the pot is no longer on the chair, there is a small metallic looking bucket under the chair.

  2869. @empresspoobah  when I first looked at the Sangamon Sheriff's video I was looking for the pot near the victim, I thought case closed as I first saw the 16;22 frames of it. Later I backtracked and saw it initially on the chair, then not on the chair.

  2876.  @CartoonMashupManiacs  so you're one of those that buy the narrative that Victoria Nuland used her mind control powers to persuade hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to revolt against their president forcing him to flee the country. Here's a narrative that actually makes sense: Victor Yanukovych was elected on a promise of building closer ties with the European Union to eventually get Ukraine into the EU. His government was achieving that goal with an association agreement having been drawn up with the EU, this association agreement had been endorsed by the Ukrainian parliament, all that was required was Yanukovych's signature, but Yanukovych spoke to Putin who persuaded him to ditch the agreement with the EU and instead enter into an equivalent agreement with Russian. Ukrainian's had witnessed other East European countries enter the EU and benefit from considerable economic growth as a result. The prospect of again being a Russia puppet state, like Belarus currently is, held no appeal to them so they revolted against the corrupt president that had betrayed them. The Ukrainian parliament endorsed the revolution against Yanukovych, and ensured new elections were held within 3 months. In those elections Petro Poreshenko was elected president, four years later, in the sceduled 2019 elections, Zelensky defeated incumbent Poreshenko in the first round. Now there's a narrative that fits reality and doesn't require Victoria Nuland to somehow mind control hundreds of thousands of people to revolt against a presumably popular president.
    1
  2877.  @CartoonMashupManiacs  if Russia withdraws its army from Ukraine the war ends. Perhaps that's what you should advocate for if you think nuclear war is close. To me it's you with your support for Russian aggression that's leading us closer to Armageddon.

  2878.  @CartoonMashupManiacs  sometimes I agree with US foreign policy sometimes not, what I don't do is take up positions based on what US foreign policy happens to be. Russia has launch a war for no good reasons, it's a conflict that's killed over a hundred thousand people. You don't give a damn how hollow Putin's justifications are, for you it's just "America bad" a mindless knee-jerk reaction. I've hunted through all of Russia's justifications, they're all as nonsensical as claims of Victoria Nuland mind controlling the Ukrainian people.
    1
  2879.  @CartoonMashupManiacs  the truth is that Yanukovych ran away in the face of a popular revolution, it wasn't a coup, with a few armed men, it was hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian civilians. If what you imagine had been the case the supporters of Yanukovych across the country would have supported their democratically elected leader, in fact Yanukovych only had popular support in part of the Donbas and Crimea and even in those regions it was really a military coup against the popular revolution with Russian military support. If the overthrow of Yanukovych wasn't popular why was there no support for him outside of such limited areas - then and now. Fact is that Ukrainians have resented foreign rule for hundreds of years and that was reflected in the 1991 independence referendum in which a clear majority in all oblasts voted for independence except in the Donbas and Crimea and even there a majority of those that voted voted for independence.

  2910.  @Timepiece80  the original 35 minute film was broadcast live, elements of that original footage was incorporated into an internal report film that wasn't intended for public distribution.

  2911.  @Timepiece80  "not for general public distribution" means just that, it does not mean "confidential", "secret" or "top secret"

  2912. @Timepiece80  how about you go to "newest" comments, scroll back to where many of my comments are that you're not seeing under "top" comments, and go look at the original broadcast footage?

  2914. @Timepiece80  thanks for checking, most wouldn't. The footage is recorded at the mission control end, this means that the delay is heard after the Capcom speaks to the astronauts, he has to wait the 2 seconds for the delay, then he speaks, and is heard, speaking immediately after he hears the astronauts.

  2915. @Timepiece80  I think I heard the missing word, it was fainter than on Sibrel's version, I had to hunt for it, it sounded more like "touch" than talk, and after hearing it and going back and listening to Sibrel's version, it sounds more like "touch" than "talk" when I ignore his telling me what the word is.

  2916. @Timepiece80  in his original "documentary", a funny thing happened .." and in his interview with Bett-David several years ago, Sibrel claims that the image seen is the Earth, a small portion of it from low earth orbit. With the rest hidden behind the window frame and walls of the spacecraft. It was subsequently pointed out, by several people, that in such a shot the movement of the spacecraft over the Earth's surface at the LEO speed of about 8km/s would cause the small section of the Earth visible to rapidly change, which isn't what we see. So, as is the case with the above interview, Sibrel has quietly introduced a "transparency", claiming we're not looking at the Earth, but at a transparency over the window illuminated by the Earth behind it.
    1
  2917. @Timepiece80  in the 35 minute broadcast the Earth should rotate about 7⁰ between the first and last shots we see of it. It does (though it's hard to spot, I picked a spot of cloud near the equator at the limb of the Earth on the left side of the image, it was touching the limb in the first images, was detached from the limb in the last images).

  2918. @Timepiece80  there is no one who has studied the Van Allen Belts who says that they were impassable for the Apollo missions.

  2923. @Timepiece80  I've read some of the transcript. A spacecraft can launch into any orbit that passes over the launch site. Polar orbits, which travel from pole to pole, can be launched to from anywhere between the poles, i.e., anywhere on Earth. The Apollo suits had multiple layers of dacron for protection against micrometeorites. The number of micrometeorites might be as high as some claim, but not the size, think micrograms, not milligrams. The multiple layers of dacron acts as standoff shields (look up standoff shields) the first layers vaporize impactors, so lower layers only have to deal with vapor.
    1
  2924. @Timepiece80  the shape of the Van Allen Belts is easy to look up. Also check South Atlantic Anomaly, a product of Earth's magnetic field being offset, bringing the Van Allen Belts down to low earth orbit over the south Atlantic, creating a part of the Van Allen Belts that the ISS regularly passes through.
    1
  2925. @Timepiece80  electromagnetic radiation (rather than partical radiation) is ony dangerous to humans if there's so much of it that it heats the body so much we become hyperthermic (body temperature rises, think microwave oven) Or if it's of such high frequency that it damages us (ultraviolet and higher frequencies, all the way up to xray and gamma ray). UV and lower frequencies are easily blocked, and there aren't enough of the higher frequencies to cause serious harm in a few days.
    1
  2926. @Timepiece80  the tortoises survived, they lost about 10% of their body mass compared to 5% in the control group on Earth. I was replying to the claims regarding electromagnetic radiation. I didn't say the astronauts were exposed to none of higher frequency, I said they were well short of a lethal dose in their few days in space. In fact, electromagnetic radiation isn't blocked by Earth's magnetic field, so years of exposure are not a serious issue. The particle radiation, from the Sun and cosmic rays, are a separate issue.
    1
  2927. @Timepiece80  the radiation exposure the turtles experienced was not more than 3.5rad according to the scientific analysis done on them. They were alive when they landed, but didn't survive the autopsy done about 20 days after they returned to Earth.
    1
  2928. @Timepiece80  my comment that they didn't survive the autopsy was tongue in cheek. The only information we have on the turtles is from the Soviets, the information they provided was that the turtles survived the voyage. Rasaviharii states that he doesn't believe the Soviets, he offers no justification for his disbelief other than his own opinion.
    1
  2929. @Timepiece80  Kelly Smith isn't talking about protecting the astronauts, Kelly Smith is an engineer specializing in radiation proofing the electronics aboard Orion. The Apollo missions didn't have silicon chips, it was all transistors, transistors are much cruder, and their performance not subject to degradation by radiation. Smith's job has nothing to do with directly protecting the crew from radiation, but indirectly has everything to do with protecting them - by ensuring the electronics aren't affected. Again, the full video makes his meaning clear - he talks about the effects of radiation on electronics and protecting the electronics.
    1
  2930. @Timepiece80  I've tracked down the time and distance for when the word "talk" is heard. It's on day one at about ten 33 am (so a different video to that of the live broadcast discussed earlier) the spacecraft was about 93,000km from earth.
    1
  2931.  @Timepiece80  93,000km gives a round trip signal delay of about 0.65 seconds, so Bart's 4 second delay is way off.
    1
  2932. @Timepiece80  there are no scientists that have studied the Van Allen Belts that say that they were impassable for the Apollo astronauts.
    1
  2933. @Timepiece80  of course Rasaviharii's story makes more sense to you, you're convinced it was all a conspiracy. The evidence from Indian, Chinese, South Korean and Japanese spacecraft that the landing sites exist doesn't convince you, and nothing will.
    1
  2934. @Timepiece80  you mean if I prefer to believe everyone in a position to reasonably assess whether or not men landed on the Moon. Sibrel stated, over 20 years ago, unequivocally, that men did not walk on the moon. Such certainty, along with his never acknowledging evidence contrary to his "knowledge," (verification of the existence of landing sites by spacecraft of other countries), means he's not reasonable.

  2939. Main problem is that Russia has so far been fighting with one hand behind its back, with Putin denying its even a war. Putin can use this effectively as propaganda, in fact it could even be a false flag operation by Putin to justify the real mobilization of Russia for the war against Ukraine. Putin is always willing to dial things up and this is the justification he needs to do so.

  2940. Over 92% of Ukrainians voted for independence from Russia in the 1991 referendum, a majority of those that voted in every one of the 27 administrative regions including in Crimea, Luhansk Oblast and Donetsk Oblast voted for independence. Those outside of Ukraine that oppose Ukraine independence and sovereignty support that country's subjugation.

  2941. Scrubbing the CO2 makes the difference, the pressure also affects things, the Apollo suits worked at less than 4psi, a diver 10 meters down is at an ambient pressure of 30psi. The deeper a diver goes, the more quickly his tanks run out, at a depth where the pressure is 60psi they last half as long as at 30psi.
    1
  2942. @gives_bad_advice  you'd better Google apollo spacesuit plss. I've never really understood why with increasing pressure an increasing proportion of the oxygen is wasted, you'd think scuba divers could just breath more slowly, given at twice the pressure there's twice as much oxygen in a lung full.
    1
  2943.  @gives_bad_advice  the Apollo plss used compressed O2. I've never understood why the O2 use is less efficient at higher pressure, but that's how it is.

  2949. The lander had a form of suspension made of an aluminum honeycomb, designed to crumple to soften the impact of touchdown - without rebounding. Because the touchdown was softer than anticipated, less of the honeycomb became crumpled, the result being that the body of the lander, and the ladder, sat several inches higher above the surface than expected.

  2950. Interesting that He uses the societal/electoral transformation process as an argument against moral relativism, though I don't think in themselves those brief comments are much of an argument against it. Technology and wealth levels change and affect social morality, and if much of social morality is a product in changes to our society wrought by changes in technology and wealth, does that make societies with less technology and wealth less moral in an objective sense?

  2952. A couple of weeks ago, Sibrel did an interview with Bob Frantz. Four and a half minutes in Frantz brought up the suggestion, made by Rogan at the end of his interview with Sibrel, that Sibrel debate someone more expert in Apollo and things space. After dodging and wriggling for several minutes, Sibrel claimed that debating anyone but (89 year old) Charlie Duke would be beneath him.

  2953. @katong1953  Yanukovych was ousted after he announced that he was withdrawing from an association agreement with the EU. The agreement had been finalized. He made that decision after consulting with Putin, he announced that instead of closer ties with the EU, a promise that had been part of his election campaign, Ukraine would have closer ties with Russia. That change in his position was what initiated the protests immediately prior to his fleeing. The Rada (Ukraine parliament) was also opposed to his unilateral decision. So, despite the mythology, Victoria Nuland does not have super mind control powers that enable her to turn millions of foreigners against their president.
    1
  2954.  @katong1953  the conflict in the Donbas was not initiated as Russian propaganda claims. In Igor Girkin's ('Strelkov's) words: "I'm the one who pulled the trigger of war. If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out, like in Kharkiv, like in Odesa". He explained that "nobody there wanted to fight" Girkin (a former FSB colonel) had entered the Donbas from Russia with a force of 50 Russian military personnel. They seized several government buildings, and murders some people, including a town councilor, who tried to oppose them.
    1
  2955.  @katong1953  Russia was positioning forces in preparation for the invasion of Ukraine from November 2021. The Donbas separatists increased their attacks across the line of control in coordination with Russian preparations to increase the overall level of conflict, so that the elevated conflict could be blamed on Ukraine. A strategy used in many previous conflicts, including by Germany against Czechoslovakia prior to Germany invading that country.
    1
  2956. @katong1953  another point that is often overlooked, or outright denied, by pro-Russian advocates, is that Ukraine had elections in 2014, a couple of months after Yanukovych fled the country, Petro Poreshenko was elected president in those elections, then in 2019 Zelensky challenged Poreshenko, defeating him to win the presidency. So, yes, Zelensky is the democratically elected president of Ukraine.

  2958. There are no experts on the Van Allen Belts who agree that with your claim that they were impassable for Apollo. It was over 40 years between the first and second successful expeditions to the South Pole. It was over 40 years between the first and second successful expeditions to Challenger Deep. The US passed the Soviet Union in the space race in terms of capability in the mid '60's.

  2960. @kpec3  the higher the heat capacity of a hot object, the more quickly the heat will be transfered. Water at 100C will burn in an instant, air at 100C sea level pressure will take minutes to burn you, in air at near a vacuum won't have enough heat capacity to melt anything, in fact the rate of heat transfered to the spacecraft would be lower than the rate at which heat is radiated to deep space by the spacecraft.

  2961. @kpec3  if I take a gram of matter at 4000 degrees, spread it out in a volume of 500,000,000,000 km³, then put a 30 ton spaceship into that volume, will the spaceship melt?

  2962. ​ @vladivanov5500 she didn't throw it, when she saw Grayson coming at her, preparing to carry out his threat to execute her, she did the last thing her instincts told her to do, she put her hands up, as she had previously. With oven gloves on she was unable to control it. When she pulled her left hand down it was unsupported and it started to tilt. From Grayson's perspective her right hand was on the left side of the pot, the only direction she could have pushed the pot was to her left, Grayson's right. The claims that the water and steam appearing from behind the counter are evidence of it being thrown are nonsense, which anyone can demonstrate in their own home - or on another hard flat surface. Hold a pot or small bucket with (I estimate) 3/4 of a gallon of water 4 feet above the ground on your hand, rotate your hand so the bucket falls off. I did this an hour ago on rough concrete pavers, the water washed 9 feet across the pavers. Hot water on a linoleum floor would have gone at least as far.

  2974. At the end you do raise a valid point, "equality of opportunity", if only such a thing existed within a country such as Britain, it doesn't. I suppose in theory it could be achieved if we built a society free of hierarchical systems, perhaps some form of communism, the problem is that social hierarchical systems are part of human nature, I've seen no evidence that human societies could be stable and efficient without social hierarchical systems.

  2978. There are two distinct ways of looking at international relations. There's the position that countries are sovereign entities, entitled to make their own choices in regard to their foreign policy. And there's the position that small countries are at the mercy and beholden to more powerful neighbors. Mearsheimer is in the latter camp, and that camp is unambiguously supporting the concept of imperialism over the concept of democratic liberalism. (liberalism in this sense meaning the principles that the US was originally built on, not what's now called "liberalism" in the US).

Obviously the above statement would instantly be seen by the woke as proof of me being racist and trans-phobic, even though a considered analysis would conclude that what I say above is actually a criticism of and only of the woke mindset that's created this special protection from criticism, not and not of itself a criticism of the most protected and revered people of today.

  2997. @masterxofficiel  oh, the power of suggestion. Before reaching a conclusion, an objective person would look at the film in its entirety and search for evidence of similar features in the film to those he claims are wires, but that he ignores because they don't suit his preferred narrative. Watching just the short clips he offers, there were many such features, lines, and brief flashes that were not above the astronauts at exactly the right time for them to be interpreted as wires. I suspect that if I were to look at the entire EVA video footage, which would be about 100 times as much as he shows, there would be thousands of such imperfections in the film, the vast majority not above the astronauts and so not wires supporting them.

And prior to that, he had been talking about his experience going to the moon. So you and the grifters are quote mining, taking a short few words and using them outside of the context that they were placed in. To honest people, it is obvious that Aldrin was trying to answer her question, "Why haven't we gone back?" You're so desperate to have evidence to support your beliefs that you lie, including to yourself.

  3029. @giannislainas5187  in the real world we do have a rules based system. For over 70 years countries that challenge that rules based system - by attempting to conquer other countries, or enforce policy through violence in breach of those rules, have usually been defeated. Very few nations have found that expanding their territory or power through aggression has been profitable.
    1
  3030.  @giannislainas5187  so you've had to resort to Israel conquering territory that it already controls? Can't find too many other wars of expansion? Are you going to resort to Russia's wars of reoccupation against some of its small neighbors, which, in reality demonstrate just how difficult wars of conquest are in the modern era? Obviously
    1
  3031.  @giannislainas5187  you are aware that over the last 70 years about a hundred countries have become independent? That several larger states have ceased to exist, being replaced by multiple smaller nations? You're aware that with the end of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact countries regained their independence?
    1
  3032. @giannislainas5187  the Warsaw Pact countries were one hundred percent subservient to the Soviet Union, which Russia is the main successor nation of. That subservience is the reason why those countries were so quick to align themselves with western nations, including joining Nato when they had the opportunity. The end of European imperialism was a product of there no longer being any advantage to the European powers in maintaining their empires. Probably hard for you to grasp, but freely trading with other countries is more profitable than enforcing colonialism. Israel maintains its occupation through force, which is subsidized by the US. Inevitably, that strategy, peace through oppression, will fail. In past centuries subjugation of conquered lands could be as violent as necessary to enforce that subjugation long term. Over the last couple of centuries such violence has become steadily less acceptable. A century ago Russia could have murdered, or threatened to murder, as many millions of Ukrainians as was required to destroy resistance, today such campaigns of violent subjugation are rare because they're not acceptable to the population of countries around the world. If you think you've seen bloody conflict in the last 70 years, we'll, you have no idea of what occurred in past centuries.

  3033. @giannislainas5187  the Warsaw Pact countries were entirely under the thumb of Moscow, and twice during the Cold War the Soviet Union used force to put down revolts against Moscow's rule.

  3035. @giannislainas5187  there remain disputes, peace through oppression still exists, but it's at 1% of the level it was a century ago. The rules based system is the norm today. The existence of crimes in every society doesn't mean peace and order aren't the norm. Fewer countries are subservient to more powerful countries today than in past centuries.
    1
  3036. @giannislainas5187  the European powers relinquished their colonies because it was cheaper than retaining them. Similarly many Russian's think that the West wants to destroy Russia to get their hands on Russia's natural resources. Reality is the cheapest way for the West to get those resources on through peaceful trade.

Perhaps they mean a 20 percent pay gap, but whats the diff, 20 cents causing a pay gap of $10,000 sounds far more unjust.

  3058. The moon doesn't exactly cover the sun in a solar eclipse. If it did, the shadow of the moons path on the Earth would be a very thin line and the eclipse would only last an instant at any one location. In fact the angular size of the moon is larger than the angular size of the Sun, and because of the moons elliptical orbit around Earth, it's angular size varies.

  3062. Why does the air pressure decrease as you increase altitude?
    1
  3063. ​ @DivergentDroid you haven't explained why there's a gradient in pressure. My explanation for the pressure gradient is that gravity pulls all matter towards the center of an object, if matter is underneath other material, the weight of the stuff on top creates pressure. Over each square metre of the Earth's surface there is 10 tonnes of air, so the pressure at Earth's surface is 10 tonnes per square metre. High up in the stratosphere 7 tonnes of that air is lower in the atmosphere, only 3 tonnes above, so at that altitude the air pressure is only 3 tonnes per square metre (about 5 PSI).

Then she saw him coming menacingly towards her, angry, gun in her face, in terror and instinct taking over, she tried to put her hands up.

  3089.  @theeraphatsunthornwit6266  here's an easy challenge for you, I won't ask you to do it in your kitchen, outside on the concrete will be fine. Take a pot with about 3/4 of a gallon of water in it (I just used a small plastic bucket - and broke it), let it fall from your hand from 4 feet, rotating as it falls, and measure how far the water washes across the floor. With a plastic bucket, rough concrete pavers and cold water, in my experiment it went 9 feet. That's just holding it on top of my hand and rotating my hand to make it fall. I've no doubt that with hot water on a linoleum floor it would wash at least that far.

  3155. ​@rl7012 now you've created an argument for yourself, you say sex is determined at birth - this is done on phenotype, you also claim sex is only determined by genotype. In many intersex conditions phenotype and genotype are opposite, a person can be XY but have female anatomy. So your two absolutist positions contradict each other.

Keep in mind that only 5 - 20% of people are infected with the flu each year, likely herd immunity for covid is around 70% infected, so if Covid were to run unchecked through the population in a year fatality rates would be between 7 and 84 times that of the flu in one year, not 2 - 6 times (using the IFR Ben offers).

  3174.  @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism  nothing personal but the fable of pre-agrarian peoples living peaceful happy lives is a myth, populations were kept in check by death, if the natural environment was super kind and allowed populations to grow death came in other forms; in war with competing tribes, or through the use of infanticide to keep the population within the limits that the resources available in the environment imposed. That's how it always was: in pre-agrarian Europe, in Australasia, across the Polynesian Pacific, in Africa, in the Americas, and in Asia. The myth of the "noble savage" is just that; a myth. People can and will breed unless there's effective contraception, and in pre-agrarian societies there wasn't such a thing. For some societies this is the reality that we don't want to see or hear: https://quillette.com/2018/07/27/burying-a-child/ For other societies if the struggle against nature was harsh (in the Australian deserts) warfare with the neighbors wasn't required to keep population in check, in other places, where nature was kinder, (most of North America) it was tribal warfare that did the job.
    1
  3175.  @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism  the reason I used quotation marks around "noble savage" is because it's an established term referring to a popular portrayal of pre-agrarian peoples that's a fiction. I'm not using the term as a pejorative label. We're all descended from pre-agrarian societies, in none of which the people lived up to the "noble savage" ideals as portrayed by naive dreamers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_savage Quote: "A noble savage is a literary stock character who embodies the concept of the indigene, outsider, wild human, an "other" who has not been "corrupted" by civilization, and therefore symbolizes humanity's innate goodness. Besides appearing in many works of fiction and philosophy, the stereotype was also heavily employed in early anthropological works."

  3183. I go with science and faith are incommensurable, shouldn't be compared. As an example of Sibrel's creative techniques for the evidence he offers, do you know that the "secret" video he offers in his "talk" and "faking Earth while actually in low earth orbit" claims is originally from 15 and 35 minute public broadcasts sent down on the first and second days of the mission?
    1
  3184. The lengthy broadcasts prove that it's Sibrel, rather than Nasa, that's doing the creative editing. When the word "talk"(?) is heard, the spacecraft is only 95,000km from Earth, the round trip radio delay is about 0.65 seconds, not the 4 seconds Sibrel claims, and throughout the rest of that particular broadcast, the communications delay IS obviously less than a second.

As an example, it's easy to show that shadows often don't appear parallel: stand with your back to the Sun and hold your arms up in a 'Y', the shadows cast by your arms aren't parallel. Go look at some footage from the ISS looking down at Earth. The planet appears to rotate rapidly below the space station.

I understand only one bullet hit, that it struck in her lower eyelid on a downward trajectory exiting though the back of her lower neck. Such a trajectory could entirely miss the brain (pretty much back and downward from the lower eyelid is the top of the mouth). A bullet could exit through the neck missing the spinal column. If so she could have been alive for minutes after being hit. Have you any information about this? Thanks.

Corruption (in terms of exploiting everyday people) is far more prevalent in state institutions than it is in businesses in competitive markets, Africa still has a long way to go to make it as easy to set up and run a business as it is in the richer countries. South Korea now ranks 5th in the Ease Of Doing Business, in 2006 it ranked 27th, Singapore, which made the transition to wealth a decade before SK ranks 1st, Georgia is a big mover up the EODB rankings and has a fast growing economy as a result. Only one 'African' country ranks in the top 30 in the index - Mauritius in 13th - which is by far the richest country per capita GDP in Africa, most other African countries are near the bottom of the list.

    1
  3242. @23WarinWest-El  the US constitution is irrelevant to international law (you might as well site the Iranian or Ghanaian constitutions), which is the purvey of the UN.

  3244. @23WarinWest-El  your repeated references to the US constitution are nonsense. I've not claimed that international law is universally enforceable. As you acknowledge, the international law that exists in codified in the UN charter. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine Russia is in breach of its obligations under that charter. In this conflict, no other country has breached their charter obligations.
    1
  3245. @23WarinWest-El  de facto law is a law or regulation that is followed but "is not specifically enumerated by a law." The UN charter is enumerated, it's written in black and white. It is not enforceable as law within a sovereign territory is enforceable because the UN is not collectively sovereign. We do not have a world government. Russia has failed to meet its obligations under the UN charter. As a member of the UN, Russia has made a written commitment, it's signed up to those obligations in writing.

    1
  3247. @23WarinWest-El  I thought I was clear. Your claim is false, and I've said why. International law has the "status" the International community gives, in the GA votes the Russian aggression was condemned several times, with the votes being around 140 voting against Russia to about 5 in support of Russia. Russia hides behind the threat of its nuclear arsenal. Without that threat against the International community, Russia would have been defeated, and Putin would be dead or on trial.

He eventually gets his answer. I think we can say that Frantz doesn't himself claim to have the knowledge to address Sibrel's claims, so yes, the balance of the discussion very much followed the same course of all the other discussions Sibrel has had, with him appearing convincing only because of the interviewers lack of expertise, and Sibrel's certainty. If someone were to be able to confront Sibrel with solid evidence, they could label him a liar and fraud to his face.

An analogy is any differences between two crop plants in the same field are likely due to differences between the individual plants, because the differences in environment are minimal, but the differences between two crop plants in very different fields, one in a well fertilized field and the other in a mineral deficient field are likely overwhelmingly to be due to the different environments.

  3289. @bruceparker6142  I've done a bit of investigating and have discovered that of the 62 world-wide top selling digital singles 60 are sung in English (1 in standard Chinese, 1 in Spanish). So clearly English speaking people (OK, I admit a couple are sung in English as the artists second language) are more "musically intelligent" than speakers of other languages. It's also noticeable that many of the most musically intelligent artists are from poorer Black American backgrounds. Not a single German language song made the list. So, I guess it's roll over Beethoven. I admit a few of the top sellers were rap music and not to my taste, but I'm not so arrogant as to judge I'm the greatest expert on music (the only rap song I fondly think about is the "throw down" on YouTube between Hayek and Keynes, a video that also features my favorite boxing match (between two white dudes), even though the challenger, Hayek, was robbed).

My criticism is directed at the minority cultures that tell young minority people that their ethnicity is a handicap, and that they need to be loyal to their race and that to do that they mustn't "act white". That message, espoused by the people influencing minority culture, that racial apartness is a desirable practice, that emphasizing race identity over individualism and over individual agency and responsibility, is, I think, the reason blacks in America who are immersed in black culture are too often failures compared to black immigrants to America and the children of those immigrants that haven't bought into that (racist) black American culture. Esther rejects such black identitarianism, as do other black people who are successful in wider society through their own efforts.

  3314. ​@ianhale4466 if you're referring to the lunar lander, the engines were cut when the contact probes touched the surface, the probes were 1.5 metres long, so the lander dropped 1.5 metres in lunar gravity, the equivalent of 250mm, or 10 inches on Earth. So, yes, despite the aluminum honeycomb shock absorbers in the struts of each leg, I agree it's likely dropping the landers 10 feet on Earth would cause damage, but then, dropping most technological objects that size 10 feet would cause damage. So, despite you thinking you've made some great revelation about the strength of the lunar landers, you've just, once again, demonstrated a high level of silliness.

  3315. ​​ @ianhale4466 regarding the construction of vehicles. No, people have not built submarines in jungles out of car tyre's to smuggle cocaine. The media like to describe the semisubmersables used to smuggle cocaine that way, but those vessels are not submarines, and they're built in well equipped engineering facilities. Building items that use liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen powered fuel cells isn't something anyone does in their backyard. So again you reveal your ignorance. Apart from the challenge of simply handling cryogenic liquids, both of those highly cryogenic liquids are difficult to engineer with. Both being highly reactive with most metals, LOX being such a strong oxidizer, and liquid hydrogen penetrating into the structure of metals and causing embrittlement. So once again you imagine you have an understanding of issues that in reality you are completely ignorant.

  3335. @ihartsacto  I haven't seen any photos that appeared staged to me. Sibrel's shadows and rocks photo can be easily reproduced by anyone with a backyard and morning or evening sunlight, and has been, many times. The claimed secret footage in low earth orbit was actually taken from tv broadcasts done at the time, a 15 minute broadcast on day 1, and a 35 minute broadcast on day 2 of the mission. Those unedited broadcasts make it clear that Sibrel's claim of faking being in transit to the moon is false. When the word "talk"(?) is heard it was the day 1 broadcast. The spacecraft was 95,000km from Earth at the time, the round trip radio delay at that distance is 0.65 seconds. Throughout the rest of that broadcast it's obvious, in the conversation between the astronauts and Houston, that the delay is indeed less than a second, not the 4 seconds Sibrel claims. When the flag was waving it was in contact with an astronaut. Sunlight reflected from the lunar surface and other objects helped illuminate shadowed areas.

  3349. @londonbabe2467  I have looked, as I said, I've reviewed all of Sibrel's claims. For instance, the footage that he describes as not being released to the public was taken originally from 2 recordings of live broadcasts, on day 1 of the mission at 93-95,000km from Earth, and a longer 35 minute broadcast on day 2, at a distance of about 250,000km. That footage was incorporated, in part, into the internal video report that Sibrel was boasting about getting his hands on.
    1
  3350. @londonbabe2467 Sibrel's claim that the word "talk"(?) Was spoken by a CIA man is without evidence. That piece of footage was on day 1 at 93-95,000km, at the time they were having communications issues, with fading and communications from mission control not being heard by the astronauts, (all this video and audio is on YouTube). So the voice of a technician trying to fix the issues being in the loop is no surprise. Also it should be noted that at that distance from Earth the round trip communications delay is only 0.65 seconds, not the 4 seconds Sibrel claims. In the other parts of the conversation, after the problems were solved, that delay of 0.65 seconds is there, but barely noticeable.
    1
  3351. @londonbabe2467 at 95,000km, a quarter of the way to the moon, given that the Earth is 3 times the diameter of the moon, means that the Earth would, at that distance, appear to the naked eye to be 12 times the diameter of the moon as seen from Earth. It would be about the size of the 10 inch diameter windows on the Apollo command module when viewed across the width of the command module.
    1
  3352. @londonbabe2467 Sibrel claims that the spacecraft is in low earth orbit at that time, but when you're in LEO you're passing over the Earth at nearly 8km/s, at that speed, if you're looking at a small part of the Earth as Sibrel claims, the motion over the Earth would be obvious, the part of the Earth visible would be rapidly changing.

  3353. @londonbabe2467 want to talk about shadows on the moon? It's easy to make nonparallel shadows: go outside on a sunny morning or evening, stand with your back to the Sun form a "Y" with your arms. The shadows caste by your arms won't be parallel, they will be diverging, switch from a "Y" to an "A" and the shadows of your arms will be converging.

  3354. @londonbabe2467 Sibrel claims Aldrin punched him because he asked Aldrin to swear on the Bible, another Sibrel lie. Sibrel pursued Aldrin, cornered him, got in his face and called Aldrin a coward and a liar. Sibrel got what he wanted.
    1
  3355. @londonbabe2467 the "we should get the CIA to wack him" was after Sibrel lied to get into Mitchell's home, he then accused Mitchell of working with the CIA to fake the moon landings, Sibrel persisted in his interrogation after being asked to leave, causing a considerable ruckus. The words spoken after he was finally ejected from the home were sarcasm, a lot of people would make the same sarcastic remarks after facing the accusations of working with the CIA and after Sibrel's aggressive intrusion.

  3356. @londonbabe2467 Van Allen Belts? There isn't a single person who's studied the Van Allen Belts that says that they were impassable for the astronauts. The radiation levels, and type are not that high nor that penetrative (helium nuclei, protons and electrons), all mostly stopped by the centimeters of the shielding of the command module.
    1
  3357. @londonbabe2467 temperatures on the moon? The 6 landings all landed and departed in the local lunar morning, soon after sunrise, when temperature were mild, and, of course, those temperatures are only the top inch or so of the lunar regolith, the vacuum has no temperature and is very good insulation from temperature variations (as is a vacuum flask).

  3358. @londonbabe2467 Sibrel lies through his teeth, people just don't often encounter someone like him who doesn't give a damn about the accuracy of his claims, and never shows doubt about his claims. He appears to be without a conscience.
    1
  3359. @londonbabe2467 I saw one youtube video in which Sibrel was confronted with a replication of his favorite "rocks with intersecting shadows" image. I've also replicated the image, so can you. The shadows cast by the rocks to the left and right of the astronauts' shadow could be seen, as anyone familiar with perspective would expect. The replication shown was very good and demonstrated how shadows can appear not to be parallel. Sibrel's reply was that cellphone cameras have fish eye lenses, he was firm and his certainty very convincing, sighting his expertise as a film maker (I can only find his name linked to his two anti-Apollo films). But you can easily test to see if your cellphone has a fish eye lens: Use the camera to look at straight lines, eg the join between a ceiling and a wall, the join between 2 walls. If it has a fish eye lens, those lines will look curved. Cellphones do not have fish eye lenses, Sibrel was lying again.
    1
  3360. ​@londonbabe2467 another one of Sibrel's lies is his claim that to get into a polar orbit a spacecraft has to launch from one of the poles (to avoid the worst of the Van Allen Belts). This is crap, a spacecraft can launch into any orbit that passes over its launch site. A polar orbit is a high inclination orbit that passes over both poles, traveling north to south and back again over the entire Earth. Which means that spacecraft can be launched from any launch site on Earth into polar orbits. Sibrel has never taken part in a debate with anyone qualified to challenge him on his nonsense. Certainly not Rogan or Owens, who are political people, not science, or engineering people.

    1
  3391. @J P I am going to deny it because your claim is simply untrue, natural forcings have not changed significantly in recent decades, solar forcing has been declining since 1960. "Insulation". No analogy is perfect but the fact that an increase in GHG concentrations slows the rate at which energy in Earth's atmosphere escapes to space thus increasing the temperature in the lower atmosphere - in the same way that increasing a houses thermal insulation will slow energy escape from the house (to a colder outside) is sound. If you don't agree state your reasoning.
    1
  3392. @J P you haven't "studied" it, to do so you'd need to read and understand the literature, not go visit a few youtube channels and web sites that say what you want to hear. "You're the type. . ." Lots of people are "the type" to think that, for you to not think that you must be avoiding even the standard skeptic sites like Spencer's, Curry's and Watts that at least understand that CO2 is a GHG, even if they believe climate sensitivity is at the low end of the possible range. ". . . to think the most prevelant GHG (CO2), causes warming, which it does not." You contradict yourself inside a single sentence. If CO2 is a GHG it has the effect of making Earth's surface warmer than it would otherwise be, so saying it's a GHG that doesn't cause warming is nonsensical. And it's not the most prevalent GHG water vapor is - but now I guess I'll have to explain to you that water vapor is a feedback, and then I'll have to explain what that means . . . Go back to your Flat Earth sites or where ever it is you get you fix of nonsense.

That the study somehow supports your belief that increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations isn't a significant contributor to the enhanced GHE?

So I think electorate committees select better candidates than the US primaries system, I think committee members are more expert in sorting out the big mouth BSers.

    1
  3418.  @Mythoughtsoutlouder  "so she would have spilled boiling water on herself" And that would be worse than being shot in the face? Because Grayson threatened her, then drew his weapon and aimed at her with her having made no threat, it was Grayson whom acted as the assailant. Sonya was legally entitled to defend herself against an aggressor in her own home. That is why Grayson is charged with murder 1. Grayson had given Sonya good reason to believe that he was about to carry out his threat to "shoot her in the &^%$#% face!".
    1
  3419.  @Mythoughtsoutlouder  it was Grayson who needed to calm down, to Sonya he had gone berserk, defending herself with whatever was at hand was reasonable. A bullet in the face is often fatal, any burns to her not, you're overstaying to try to support your initial poor premise. There is indeed a reason for the force escalation continuum, it means the officer is justified in that his actions are the response to aggression, rather than him becoming the aggressor. "Calm down" Interesting that you should attempt to portray me as excitable, when all my points have been so measured and you're the one trying to suggest a bullet in the face is less deadly than a falling pot of hot water. Sonya Massey was not instantly killed, the bullet entered immediately below her eye, traveled through her mouth on a downward trajectory, then traveled through her neck, severing arteries but missing the spinal column.
    1
  3420.  @Mythoughtsoutlouder  "symbolic profanity" Again an attempt to portray me as unreasonable. No, I said nothing profane, symbolic or otherwise. When Sonya Massey lifted a pot of very hot water above her head in an attempt to ward off her attacker, do you think she was aware of the risk of harm to herself from that water that her action caused? So why did she do it? Because she recognized that the armed and berserk Grayson presented a far greater risk to her life and wellbeing. From cop2's BWC it's evident that the water was spread from where Sonya was standing to where the pot came to rest in the chair, almost certainly some of it did land on her. Your logic is faulty in that the taser, like a gun, is primarily used as a threat of force, rather than actually fired. With Sonya, holding a pot of hot water, the threat is greater, and the greater the threat, as long as not elevated to the point that the target sees it as inevitable and mortal, will more likely force compliance with commands. So when it came to choosing between a taser vs firearm, the taser was still the more reasonable choice. But I doubt Grayson put much thought into that choice, Grayson chose the Glock because his natural preference was for the more deadly weapon.
    1
  3421.  @Mythoughtsoutlouder  "throw boiling water" As near as I can judge (and I've looked closely at the dimensions of the objects in the video to get as close as I can to the correct scale). The pot came to rest about 5 feet from where Sonya was standing, about 4 feet from Grayson who was at a significant angle to the actual trajectory of the pot. Grayson first fired at very close to the time the pot left Sonya's hands, given the short distance the pot wouldn't have been moving at less than 4m/s horizontally, (4m/s is a soft throw, a lob) after each shot Grayson has to resight his weapon on the target due to recoil, that's why there's half a second between each shot, a full second between his first and third shot. The pot would have taken less than half a second to reach the chair, Grayson would have seen it moving left to right and downwards across his line of sight, disappearing behind the counter before he could reposition for his second shot. We can see Sonya at the time, and for a fraction of a second after Grayson's first shot, we know it missed. Grayson's subsequent shots were fired after the pot had disappeared from his view behind the counter. Sonya had no more pots to throw. A half second doesn't sound like a lot of time, but it's enough time for Grayson to know he was out of any danger from the pot and to choose not to continue firing.

In fact, given the impact that gender disphoria has on some people's lives, it seems insulting to them to suggest that gender is just a social construct rather than a deep part of their being.

Neither of those were even close to being economic substitutes for fossil fuel just 20 years ago and they both continue to have huge issues around their intermittent nature. Biofuels? They're not even close to being an economic substitute for more than a tiny fraction of today's energy needs. To suggest that there are not huge efforts going into developing the technology to make "clean" energy viable as an alternative to today's energy mix is to ignore reality. Of course there is the option of nuclear power as a low carbon alternative, and molten salt reactors can be made fail-safe and are far cleaner with regard to radioactive waste than older pressurized water reactor designs, if the world were to invest as heavily in future nuclear power on the same scale as France has done carbon emissions could be cut in half. But the obvious and sensible options aren't acceptable options for the watermelon sect.

  3456. 1. Claim: Gender is a social construct. Valkai states that there are female and male brains, that that's a physiological fact. I will accept that claim as there are papers offering support to that position. So how is it that various authorities claim that it's a social construct when the current evidence is that it's a biological fact? I think the explanation is that there was a narrative called the "Blank Slate" that became popular 30 or so years ago, it was a narrative being pushed to support supposed widespread misogyny, that girls were disadvantages by what was an imposed cultural aspect. 2. Claim: A woman is an adult human female. For nearly a thousand years, man and woman referred to the two recognized human sexes, ditto for boy and girl. If we're distinguishing gender from sex (which I obviously agree with given I accept the existence of male and female brains) what is being asked of society is not an expansion of the meaning of such terms, but a redefining of them. That might be socially acceptable - except that as terms referring to sex rather than gender their utility is too high, there simply are no other words even remotely well established that mean adult human male and adult human female. So I think this attempt by those with an agenda to change the meaning of those words will inevitably fail, the gender use should be abandoned, and other words with less existing utility used. I suggest "femme" and "masc." 3. Claim: Sex is best defined by phenotype. I think for social purposes, this is correct. We can get too carried away discussing gametes and chromosomes, for practical and reasons of "common sense" the physical equipment is what counts. This does not mean that when it comes to things like competitive sport, where past sex can be relevant to current abilities, the same rule of thumb need apply.

  3459. Throughout most of human history and prehistory human populations were fairly stable, this despite having the theoretical capacity to grow exponentially, doubling every 25 years. Such stability in population is certainly a product ofthe population running up against resource constraints. Few people in ancient history would have died from old age, so the constant death rate required to maintain a constant population (assuming no birth control) would have been due to disease (rare, I expect, in small hunter-gatherer communities), starvation, accidents (including hunting accidents) falling victim to predators, and human violence - within and between tribes. I expect if deaths from non-human agents became low there would inevitably be greater competition for limited resources resulting in more deaths from human violence. I see no merit in the assumption used in the video that a lack of evidence of human violence is evidence of an absence of human violence. Especially as we go back in time the more common weapons (sharpened sticks) wouldn't leave a lot of evidence of the soft tissue damage that would be caused, and also leave no evidence like stone spear and arrow heads in the victim. Another point that appears to have been overlooked is that crafted bone and stone spear and arrow heads are valuable items, and would usually be recovered from the body of victims.

  3484.  @nlorand9033  "killed civilians since 2014" The civilian death toll in the Donbas since 2014 is around 3,500 on both sides. The intensity of that conflict has dropped substantially since the first year; In 2014 it was about 2000, in 2015 about 900, in the last three years it's been around 20/year, with half of those deaths being caused by from mines and explosive residue of war planted or expended in the earlier years. "Ukrainian democracy is silencing jailing and killing critics" In the 2014 Ukraine elections Petro Porashenko was the winner, in the 2019 election Zelinsky defeated Poroshenko. Poroshenko is very much alive and working to support the Ukrainian efforts to evict the Russians from Ukraine. If killing critics is a concern of yours - and it should be - you should check out the situation in Russia where critics are routinely imprisoned and killed. "Ukraine government Kill list" You're referring to the Myrotvorets web site run privately by former Ukraine politician George Tuka. It is not a "kill list", though it's described as such by Russian propagandists, on the site it's described as a list of people: "whose actions have signs of crimes against the national security of Ukraine, peace, human security, and the international law". If it were a "kill list" one would expect at least one person on the list to have been murdered as it's been up for 8 years. "Negotiations . . . for peace" The time for negotiations is when Russia ends it's imperialist invasion of its neighbor and takes its army home. At this stage negotiating with Putin would be as pointless as negotiating with Hitler in August 1944. You go on to mention US military actions/invasions of other countries in the past while defending the Russian invasion. This is a logical inconsistency I've pointed out numerous times on this site: If you condemn US military invasions because of the many thousands of deaths they cause, morally you should also be condemning the Russian invasion which has also caused many tens of thousands of deaths. Compare the tens of thousands killed in Ukraine in the last year to the approximately 10 deaths a year (UN observers mission reports) on both sides in the Donbas in recent years from shelling. How can anyone justify the Russian aggression when it's taken so many lives?

  3497.  @walterplessen1883 the velocity change of about 2.5km/s for translunar injection was provided by the Saturn V third stage. Translunar "flight" is just a highly elliptical orbit with the perigee (lowest point in an orbit about earth) being couple of hundred miles above Earth's surface and the apogee (highest point in an orbit about earth) being about 240,000 miles above Earth's surface (ie, at the distance of the moon). If the moon weren't there, and the spacecraft remained unpowered, it would remain in that orbit, which takes about a week to complete, for many years, just going around and around, traveling to and from that apogee.

  3499.  @walterplessen1883  I was a little out when I was relying on memory for the delta V for translunar injection, it's actually 3.2km/s. On achieving low earth orbit, the total mass was 133.4 tons. Of this, 73 tons was propellant. This gives an M0/M1 for the burn of 2.2. Using the rocket equation, and knowing that the LOX/LH2 burning J2 engine has an exhaust velocity of 4.13km/s, it is easy to calculate the velocity change achievable, which works out at 3.26km/s. So yes, the third stage of the Saturn V, even after burning a third of its fuel for the final push into LEO, had the delta V necessary to achieve TLI.

  3501.  @walterplessen1883  apollo was certainly done on narrow safety margins, the lunar module wasn't much sturdier than a coke can, internal pressure being a significant structural consideration (the same applies to several launch vehicles, without the pressurization of the internal tanks for greater rigidity, they'd fold up when accelerating after launch.

  3502.  @walterplessen1883  as I said before, once the spacecraft are given that initial velocity at the translunar injection, they just coast to their apogee, then, if they didn't do a burn to enter lunar orbit, they'd fall back to perigee. Numerous objects in the solar system travel in highly elliptical orbits, moving fast when close to the Sun, much more slowly when at their most distant from the sun.

  3507. @walterplessen1883  it's the second stage that leaves it just short of low earth orbit, the third stage uses about a third of its fuel getting it into LEO. It then uses the rest, after the crew has done a systems check, to do the TLI burn.

This is the dance that's been going on between the superpowers for about 70 years. During that time the only occasion when NATO/American military personnel actually fired at or were fired upon by Soviet/Russian military personnel was over Korea in the 50's - and the Soviet pilots weren't even officially there, their involvement was kept a secret until the USSR collapsed.

  3534.  @farzana6676  As long as the West continues to pump in the munitions Russia will not prevail, people keep overlooking the fact that Ukraine now has north of a million men underarms, the Russian active duty ground forces number (wait for it) 280,000. To rope in reserves and conscripts means involving the entire Russian population in a war that isn’t a war, Putin’s lies will be revealed, Putin has already burned through a substantial proportion of his frontline men and equipment. I expect the small local gains made in recent days by Ukraine forces to grow. Putin is increasingly relying on bombardment with artillery and missiles, nations, even Russia, don’t keep huge stocks of guided missiles, and soon he’s going to find the Ukrainians getting the munitions and surveillance to take out his artillery. The West must limit its involvement though because if the West gets directly involved Putin will use it as propaganda to the Russian people, claiming the country needs defending, that Russia needs to go to war in its own defense. Better to leave Putin hanging on his own lie that it's not a war, a minor military operation on behalf of people in Ukraine, that way all of Russia will not commit to the conflict. For now Russia fights with Putin having tied one hand behind its back. It's going to get difficult for Putin to get out, without further escalation, I fear he might escalate things by launching a false flag chemical attack against a Southern Russian city (after all, he's told Russians that Ukraine has chemical weapons) , that would then be used to justify a full Russian mobilization.

  3545. @HeWhoisHim.  the Van Allen Belts are created by charged particles from the Sun being captured by Earth's magnetic field. This is a continual process. There's always leakage from the Belts towards the north and south poles, when those particles escape and strike Earth's atmosphere at the poles, a fluorescent effect is created which we see as the Aurora Borealis around the north pole and the Aurora Australis around the south pole. If a major solar flare strikes Earth's magnetic field, there's a substantial increase in the flow of charged particles, and as a result, the aurora can become quite impressive and be seen at lower latitudes.

  3549. What the Apollo program did differently to other proposed strategies was to dump hardware along the way. We launch rockrts using multiple stages to get rid of mass, so that, after each stage is separated, there is less mass to be accelerated by the remaining fuel. Apollo took this strategy to the absolute limit. The Saturn V had 3 stages, the lunar lander had 2 stages, the service module was another stage, and, the command module that reentered Earth's atmosphere, was in effect the final stage, and the only piece that Nasa got back. Calculating the changes in velocity required and achievable, using known values for rocket mass ratios and propellant exhaust velocities using the rocket equation isn't that difficult, any year 10 student proficient in math could do the sums, I've done the math.
    1
  3550. We use staged rockets to get into orbit so that extra mass can be thrown away rather than expend fuel accelerating that surplus mass. Apollo took the staging strategy all the way to the moon to reduce overall mass: Saturn 1st stage Saturn 2nd stage Saturn 3rd stage Lunar descent stage Lunar ascent stage Service module stage Command module stage. The other strategies you refer to don't use staging beyond LEO.

Hamas, which is supported by the Palestinians living in the open air prison of Gaza, launched the attack to mark the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war.
    1

  3597.  @mrghettodaddy7245  a physical container does not cause the observed pressure gradient. So why is there a pressure gradient?
    1
  3598. @mrghettodaddy7245  that's a ludicrous claim, to maintain such a pressure gradient vast quantities of air would need to be produced at ground level, there would literally need to be hurricane force winds coming up out of the ground, spread a tarpaulin over the ground and it would fly into the sky. The lowest barometric pressures ever recorded at sea level are around 860 millibars. When such low pressures occur, hurricane force winds are created by the pressure gradient of 150 millibars over horizontal distances or hundreds of kilometers. Between sea level and an altitude of 10km, there's a pressure gradient of 750mB, 5 times the difference in pressure across a tenth of the distance. As I said, such a gradient would cause hurricane force winds. Gravity, compressing the air lower in the atmosphere with the weight of the air above is what allows the stable pressure gradient we observe. And from what are these vast quantities of air created at ground level created? As all this created air flys upwards into the sky, from high to low pressure, where does it disappear to? It can't remain under a dome, or air pressure would be rapidly increasing as a result of all the air created at ground level.
    1
  3599. @mrghettodaddy7245  pressure gradients at sea level of 150mB over distances of hundreds of kilometers create hurricane force winds. Between sea level and 10 kilometers in altitude there's a pressure gradient of 750mB. Without gravity pulling air down, that altitude pressure gradient would generate hurricane force winds.
    1
  3600. @mrghettodaddy7245  there would need to be a hurricane coming out of the ground to maintain such a pressure gradient. And where is all this air created supposed to go when it hits your dome over a flat Earth?? The vast quantities of additional air would cause a rapid increase in air pressure in your enclosed world.
    1
  3601. @mrghettodaddy7245  I see the effects of gravity all around me, it pulls everything towards the center of the Earth, including air, air molecules traveling upwards follow the same ballistic trajectory as a ball moving up, they slow come to a stop and then move back downwards. We see the same pressure gradient in the oceans as we see in the atmosphere, and for the same reason: the weight of water/air above compresses the water/air below it.
    1
  3602. @mrghettodaddy7245  you're also entitled to believe in your fairytale. But the fact is you can't explain how there can be a pressure gradient in the atmosphere and in the oceans without gravity causing the water/air above to weigh down on and create pressure in the water/air below it. With gravity, air, like everything else, is pulled down towards Earth's surface, air molecules moving upwards follow the same trajectory as a ball moving upwards, and are no more able to escape into the vacuum than the ball.

  3620. @Aramiji994  In 1841, Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters’ Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all” Without free speech in media, the government is no longer accountable to the people. The press is therefore of the utmost importance in a representative democracy. In Russia, the government owns the media. Only approved opposition survives, "approved" being no political threat to the current ruler.

  3622. @Aramiji994  I was watching a YouTube channel doing street interviews in Moscow recently. A couple of people expressed their opinions that those supporting Putin were those dependent on television for their information. I know a lot of those sympathetic to Putin are very anti-woke, as am I, the woke try to suppress free speech to advance their narrative, but I'm just as anti those suppressing free speech to advance other narratives. Politically, I define myself as classical liberal/libertarian. Libertarian with a recognition of its pragmatic shortfalls.

  3623. @Aramiji994  Vlad Vexler takes the position that there's a social contract in R that most people intuatively understand, that the government will stay out of their everyday lives and business and that they should stay out of the governments business. (That's his gist as I understand it). The result is the Russian public are far more accepting of government authority and far less politically engaged than in western democracies. In the street interviews on another channel, 1420, it was noticable that many of those approached expressed the view that it wasn't their place to question the governments decisions.

  3627. @davidlum2001  your logic is: If person A assaults person B (a bad thing), that makes it's perfectly fine for person C to assault person D. No, that's not how morality works. If A assaulting B is a bad thing, other things being equal, C assaulting D is a bad thing. Your reasoning is morally bankrupt.

  3628. @davidlum2001  I haven't invaded anyone. I'm not endorsing any country invading another country. The Monroe doctrine doesn't endorse the US using force against its neighbors in the Americas. It warns the European powers not to meddle in the affairs of countries in the Americas. You're probably under the impression that the 2014 Ukraine revolution was a US orchestrated coup. It was not, Yanukovych was confronted by a revolution of Ukrainians for reneging on election promises on signing an association agreement with the EU, instead he was threatening Ukrainians with closer ties to Russia, a relationship most had already experienced and something they preferred not to repeat.
    1
  3629. @davidlum2001  the Monroe doctrine is not the US giving itself the right to meddle in the affairs of other countries in the Americas. The 2014 Ukrainian revolution was a popular revolt against a leader, Yanukovych, who had betrayed his country by refusing to sign the association agreement with the EU, instead attempting to tie Ukraine to an agreement with Russia.

  3630.  @davidlum2001  Russia had agreed to respect Ukraine sovereignty several times. The Warsaw Pact countries that joined Nato did so as a defense against the possibility of future subjugation by Russia. They'd already experienced that from 1945 to 1990 and weren't interested in repeating the experience.

  3631. @davidlum2001  "sovereign state" Your endorsement of imperialism is something you and I are not ever going to agree on.

    1
  3632. @davidlum2001  for me, there are no "great powers", sovereign countries' power stops at their borders. It's the belief that larger countries have the right to use the threat of force to bully and manipulate their smaller neighbors that is a recipe for eternal warfare, dependent on the thuggishness of the stronger nations leadership. Despite what you imagine, the stronger nations will always see their rivals as threats, so long as some are governed by authoritarian regimes.

  3635. @davidlum2001  authoritarian because it's easier for authoritarian regimes to start wars of conquest, the US hasn't annexed territory in over 150 years, Russia has annexed territory several times in the last 30. The US and other democratic countries have to sell going to war to their voters. To stop an invader, to stop a civil war, to stop authoritarianism, to stop ethnic cleansing, to punish a nation for supporting terrorism. We can agree the excuses used can be overblown, but there has to be a level of justification that can be sold in the face of domestic media, some of whom will be skeptical. The bar to initiate hostilities is lower for authoritarian regimes.
    1
  3636. @davidlum2001  authoritarian regimes have a lower bar to clear when it comes to initiating war, a democracy has to sell war as the better option to the voters: to stop a genocide, to end a civil war, to deal with terrorists, and sell the excuse to a public, many of whom will be skeptical.

  3637. @davidlum2001  if you think Russia (or the Soviet Union) and China never see each other as threats you don't know history. (Sino - Soviet war). There's an amusing story that when Nixon went to China, the Chinese expressed concern that the US was downgrading it's military capacity from being able to simultaneously fight 2.5 major wars at once to being able to fight 1.5 major wars. Their concerns were muted when it was pointed out to them that the second major war was envisioned to be against China.

  3647. It's a bit technical, but it comes down to the number of stages that are used throughout the mission.

Apollo had the 3 stages of the Saturn V, plus 4 more stages to get them to the surface of the moon and back to Earth. Only the tiny command module, is returned to Earth.

The state has taken the duty of looking after those less fortunate away from family and the community, creating a bloated bureaucracy to do a job that people would otherwise do themselves.

Also keep in mind those are the temperatures of the top inch of soil, as there is no atmosphere, there is no atmospheric temperature. Things not in contact with the lunar soil were heated only by absorption of heat radiation from the surface and sunlight, the latter kept low by the spacesuits white color.

Why was it held there? My belief is that: 1. She'd put the pot down on the counter when told to "put the pot down" 2. After it was placed on the counter she was AGAIN told to "put the pot down" 3. She interpreted that as meaning move the pot to the floor. 4. After picking it up she turned, saw a huge angry cop advancing menacingly towards her gun pointing at her, and in a totally unsurprising panic, tried to signify her surrender by raising her arms. In her last seconds she was utterly terrified.

  3702. @J P The warming over the last 60 years is certain, it's obvious in both the surface and satellite data, the ocean warming is certain and the ice melt is certain. The only rational conclusion is that the Earth is absorbing more energy from the Sun than it is releasing back to space, causing it to warm up. There are no observed mechanisms that can explain that observed radiative imbalance other than the enhanced GH Effect, and the warming observed is in line with that calculated by scientists as far back as a century ago.

  3716. @BananaJunior11  if gender is a social construct it becomes a simple choice for people what their gender is, rather than something forced on them by their psychology.

  3717. ​@BananaJunior11 If gender is a social construct, it has nothing to do with an individuals gender disphoria. Clearly there must be a genuine belief in someone that their gender doesn't match their sex for them to go through the process of reassignment surgery.
    1
  3718.  @BananaJunior11  so gender disphoria is a medical condition. We are in agreement. Though I'd describe it as a psychological condition rather than medical. The theory that there isn't a strong innate tie of gender to sex goes against the weight of evidence. There is also an innate tie between sex and sexual orientation.

  3720. @BananaJunior11  humans are a product of evolution, like other mammals, do you think that males and females of other mammalian species act out gender roles because they're social constructs or as a result of biologically directed instincts?
    1
  3721. @BananaJunior11  this discussion has become pointless. My position is that humans, like all other mammals and all animals, are shaped by evolution, and instinctive behaviors are an inseparable component of that. Gender is clearly instinctive in mammals and inevitably so also in humans. To argue otherwise is also instinctive, a drive to conform to accepted group beliefs.
    1
  3722. @BananaJunior11  another silly analogy. Who said it is inherently the case that mammals can't fly, or that birds can? Humans have human instincts. You (and many other humans) might chauvinistically imagine that Human actions aren't under the control of instinctive behaviors like all other animals, but they are. Humans have a million years of evolution during which women and men were molded by evolution to optimize them mentally for the roles that they were also optimized for physically.
    1
  3723. @BananaJunior11  your desperation that humans are so different from other animals is almost religious, but that's what happens when ideological reasoning (tribalistic thinking) is promoted above clinical reasoning.
    1
  3724. @BananaJunior11  and now you try to strawman me, implying I've argued something I have not.
    1
  3725. @BananaJunior11  you probably should start with a better understanding of evolution and of the meaning of the word "trait" in evolutionary term. Humans evolved recently in evolutionary terms and traits change slowly to improve a species ability to survive, 100 million years of core instincts that are advantageous to survival of all mammalian species aren't going to disappear with human evolution unless their continued existence would terminate the species. You don't want gender to be instinctive in humans not because you offer an evolutionary reason for Humans not to have such instincts but because it doesn't suit your ideology. Even after you've admitted that there are obviously deep internally created gender characteristics in people with gender disphoria. Or would you like to dismiss their claims that their gender is from within them, and not a "social construct"?
    1
  3726. @BlarglemanTheSkeptic2  the only comment of yours that I see which is addressed to me is your question whether I believe human sexual attraction is instinctive. My answer is yes, without doubt.
    1
  3727.  @BananaJunior11  so being a certain gender is instinctive (as I've said) but gender is a social construct. As I see it if something is a social construct it doesn't exist as an instinct, which isn't to say that between cultures there aren't different cultural expressions of gender, differences in customs and broader gender roles.
    1
  3728. ​@BananaJunior11 when you say "influenced by biology" are you including evolutionary psychology? Using an analogy: humans have evolved social instincts, so we live in societies, those societies are held together with the support of man made (socially constructed) institutions, laws, governing systems etc. It would obviously be an error to look at this huge amalgamation of "social constructs" and be blind to the instincts that motivated, in fact required, their construction and continued existence for society to function, and conclude that there's no evidence that humans are instinctively social animals - in fact more accurate to say their existence proves that we are instinctively social animals.

  3730.  @dangallagher6176  you claim gender is a social construct but then talk about biological males with "female brains", clearly an argument that in cases of gender disphoria that the disphoria is biological and not a social construct. Perhaps you should consider the possibility that the vast majority of males have male brains, and that is the reason they are male by gender, and the vast majority of females have female brains and that is the reason they are female by gender.
    1
  3731.  @BananaJunior11  your reply doesn't even address my observation that a person's race can be determined by examining their DNA. Do you think that the breeds of various species of animals, including wild animals, is a social construct?
    1
  3732.  @BananaJunior11  it sounds like you're determined to claim that gender is a social construct, no matter how strong and obvious the evidence is that there's a biological difference that drives people to one or the other gender.
    1
  3733.  @BananaJunior11  I think we're going to differ on the definition of "race", I'd define it in terms of ancestry, but I also attach no importance to it, unlike many who see it as an important aspect of ones identity.
    1
  3734.  @dangallagher6176  I'm starting to appreciate in these discussions people might be using different definitions of "social construct". To me if something can vary from one culture to the next it's a social construct, if it's a common trait across all human cultures it's almost certainly genetic, the smile is genetic, so not a social construct, the handshake not common across cultures, so is a social construct. Though different societies vary in the details, gender differences are universal.

  3735.  @dangallagher6176  Stephen's use of the semantics of the word "castle" I consider the epitome of playing semantic games.
    1
  3736. @dangallagher6176  the traditionalists say a woman is an adult human female, for a very long time that's been the definition, Woodford argues that "woman" can include people with penises, and that is only the accepted definition for some people in the last couple of decades. The traditional definition is straightforward. Those who advocate Woodford's position aren't expanding the definition, they're creating a new definition, the traditionalist focus on mind and body, this new definition completely removes body from the definition. That's completely different to the definition of castle, more like removing "large strongly constructed building" from the definition, it's removing the core of the definition, do that and any building is a castle. So it's two definitions that now exist, traditionalists are not wrong, they're using a different definition, and as it's the established definition they're entitled to do so. All a bit like arguing that people who use the old meaning of the word "cool" (cold) are wrong as the word really means great or fantastic.

    1
  3741. @vansen-qod  I have pointed out that up until very recently the definition of "woman" was "adult human female", if it disturbs you that I haven't said that until "man" was defined as "adult human male", and analogous to terms like: buck, stag, bull, drake and rooster. . . Well fixed. In this discussion haven't said that the modern definition of "woman" and "man" are wrong, just as I haven't said that the modern use of "cool" (great, fantastic, rather than cold temperature) is wrong.
    1
  3742. @vansen-qod  if with "your definition" you mean "adult human female" and "adult human male" those definitions are based on phenotype. I haven't been arguing the phenotype vs genotype issue. People with intermediate sex characteristics I consider intersex, in my opinion it's up to them how they label themselves sex wise. Transgender I think of as gender disphoria. Psychological gender not matching physical sex.
    1
  3743. @vansen-qod  so you acknowledge that the castles analogy Woodford uses is false and deceptive. That the traditional definition is different to the new definition, that it's not that the traditional definition was so vague that women could include people with male genitalia. Two distinct definitions are now being used.

  3746.  @BananaJunior11  I've decided in terms of sex I'll got with binary rather than bimodal. There's male, female, and many intersex conditions, most of which are infertile and so are not sexes they're intersex. The analogy I'll use is with two equine species. There are horses and zebras, each is a species, but between those two species you will find infertile hybrids, zorse (progeny of male zebra, female horse) and hebra (progeny of a male horse and female zebra). These infertile hybrids are not species, so wouldn't be included on a graph showing equine species populations. Not being included on a graph does not mean they do not exist, it just means they are not equine species, but they're still equines. So in my opinion on a graph of human sexes intersex is not a sex, so not included, on a graph of human beings intersex people obviously are include. The inclusion of intersex as sexes is not about science and logic, it's about affirmation.
    1
  3747. @vansen-qod  I think Woodford said in his opinion you can't change sex. As I personally place more importance on phenotype in this (social) regard, it's the equipment you actually have that counts, even if it doesn't work, and because surgery can change that equipment, I accept that a sex change operation is exactly that. I know that doesn't square with what I said above regarding intersex people, that was more from a logical and scientific perspective, the phenotype issue is, as I say, more a social and psychological issue.
    1
  3748. @vansen-qod  you appear to be under the impression that I care about your private life. I do not, I don't and I know nothing about it and want to know nothing about it, it's not relevant to the discussion. I've repeatedly acknowledged that I think gender is about the brain and mind and not body, that gender disphoria is a condition in which the gender of the mind doesn't align with the sex of the body. You appear to be projecting your hang-ups onto me.

What Russian soldier wants to fight in such a hopeless army? So while I'm skeptical, I can't dismisses your theory as a possibility, we do see leadership in business organizations that destroy those organizations through similarly appalling strategies of attacking their own top people, trying to get the foot soldiers to hate those immediately above them. If you are correct to me it might be Putin laying the ground for a Russian exit from Ukraine, with Putin pushing the blame onto the generals, the army, nato whomever he can to shift the blame off of himself.

    1
  3816. ​​ @ChristianCzekus the pressure at ground level is created by the weight of gas above it. As we move up through the atmosphere there is less gas above us as altitude increases, so there is less weight of gas above us pushing down on us, less weight of gas equals less pressure. We see the same in the oceans, as we descend the amount of water and therefore the weight of the water above us increases the pressure, the deeper we go, the more water above, the higher the pressure.

  3827.  @CynicalHistorian  I agree the axis hypothesis doesn't hold water. There is another geography based hypothesis that might be more sound. For every organism to survive it needs a shell or similar barrier to protect it's body from invasion from other predatory organisms. The same principle applies to the cradles of civilization, go to Google maps and turn on the Terrain function. Each of the cradles of civilization were protected from conquest by terrain; Mountains, rivers, deserts, seas. Greek, Roman, Persian, Inca, Aztec, Japanese, Chinese they all had the defense of a natural geographic shell. Where those natural barriers were inadequate to protect a developing civilization they were often boosted with artificial barriers. Now look at Africa, Australia and North America: relatively flat lands not broken up into smaller pockets (apart from the very North of Africa, which was protected to the South by desert and the North by sea). The geography of those three continents made them very easy for invaders, hard for defenders - as we saw with their colonization by the more technologically developed powers.

  3879. @Skarr30  in the Illinois state police youtube video of the incident, dated July 6. We can see all the coverage from both BWC's. The pot can be seen steaming away where it landed in the black chair at the end of the counter immediately after the shooting in Grayson's camera. In cop2's camera, we see it there later, when he finally gives assistance to Sonya. As he goes past the chair, the pot is knocked to the floor, that can be heard. Cop2 picks it up from near Sonya and passes it back between his legs. In the same camera frame of him holding it with a cloth, we can see the chair has moved and the pot is no longer in the chair

  3880. @Skarr30  it's very hard to put an argument together that the pot managed to get into the chair so quickly, several feet from where Sonya was holding it, without her having thrown it.

  3881. @Skarr30  the pot is in the chair. It was thrown at about the time the first shot was fired. She is still visible after the first shot was fired (judging the timing of the shots by the recoil of each shot pushing up Grayson's arms). So it wasn't the first shot that hit her. If it was the last shot that hit her, she would have been all out of pots of hot water, so unarmed, when he shot her. The time between shots is about 0.5 seconds, after each shot Grayson had to re-aim due to the recoil. He had time to realize she was no longer a threat when he fired the fatal shot. Human reaction times are about 0.1 seconds.

  3889.  @Memovox  you're clueless, the revolution was a result of Yanukovych refusing to sign an association agreement with the EU that was supported by most Ukrainians and the Ukrainian parliament. Ukrainians had seen other East European countries become wealthy join the EU, after conversations with Putin, Yanukovych decided to rip up that agreement and enter a similar agreement with Russia. Ukrainians could see where that leads - becoming a Russian puppet state again, so they kicked Yanukovych out, with the Ukraine parliaments endorsement. The narrative that Victoria Nuland used mind control powers to manipulate hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into overthrowing a popular president doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny.

  3892.  @savanthsunnyt  the mindset "America bad so anyone opposed to the American position good" is a decision to not think for yourself.

  3893.  @Ali-hu8jr  have to look at the merits case by case. With Korea and the first Gulf War (kicking Iraq out of Kuwait) I think justifiable, the rest more questionable. Vietnam especially so as Ho Chi Min wanted the US the support Vietnamese independence from France. The US made an appalling mistake and drove the Vietnamese towards the Soviets. The Russians have repeatedly made the same mistake trying to bully and scheme to control Ukraine.

  3895.  @JBFD64  Russia recognized the independence of Ukraine in August 1991 and pledged to respect Ukraine sovereignty and territory - that includes the territory of Ukraine that Russia invaded and pretends to have annexed. In 1991 Ukraine had a referendum, the majority of voters in every oblast voted in favor of Ukraine independence. The February 2022 Russian invasion was condemned by the then pro-Russian parties in the Ukraine parliament, the successor to those parties, with the same leadership as then, under a new political banner, still in the Ukraine parliament, now support Ukraine joining the EU. The only supporters of the Russian invasion, with rare exceptions, are people that didn't live in the territory under Ukraine government control at the start of February 2022. For almost everyone in the invaded territory the invasion was unwelcome.

  3898. The pot of water probably weighed around 8 lb, from a crouched position a small woman could only throw it in a lob. He would easily have been able to dodge it had it been close to hitting him, which it was not. It wasn't even close enough to cause him to hesitate in his advancing into a position from which he could shoot her. Likely it was his last shot that hit her, by which time she was all out of pots to throw.

  3915. @AnimBoy  I don't know what you mean if they're too close, the kinzhal comes down, the patriot goes up, the patriot is more maneuverable than the kinzhal and gets in front of it before detonation.

  3916. @AnimBoy  you're desperately trying to come up with justifications for why the patriot can't intercept a kinzhal, but the version of the patriot being used, the PAC-3, is designed to intercept hypersonic missiles. There is no theoretical reason for it not being able to do so.

  3918. Why does air pressure decline with increasing altitude?
    1
  3919.  @CapricaSoul  "gas is produced at ground level and goes up"?? So if I spread a tarpaulin across the ground it will catch all the gas being produced at ground level and rise into the air?? Should wind turbines be pointed at the ground to take advantage of all this gas rising from ground level??
    1
  3920.  @CapricaSoul  the atmosphere is contained by the oceans and land at Earth's surface and gravity at the top of the atmosphere. Like you jumping, gravity pulls air molecules towards Earth, those molecules aren't fast enough to escape that gravity, so are trapped within a couple of hundred kilometers of the surface.
    1
  3921. @CapricaSoul  no, try not to project the narrative you've learned onto me. The gases in the atmosphere move around with the winds, the annual turnover, with the oceans, plants, and respiration is a tiny fraction of the total atmosphere. They're trapped, they're not in freefall towards the ground because the pressure at ground level is high enough to stop that. The rate of pressure decline from surface to space is stable, the pressure gradient is in equilibrium.

  3927. Why does air pressure get lower with increasing altitude?
    1
  3928.  @Romanperro  you reply does not answer the question: Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with increasing altitude?
    1
  3929.  @Romanperro  a follow-up question is: at what altitude does the pressure drop so low it's essentially a vacuum?
    1
  3930. @Romanperro  if you're acknowledging that air pressure declines with altitude, that at some height, a couple of hundred kilometers or so, it will drop to zero, there's your container. The container doesn't have to be a material object as long as it stops the gas. The pressure at Earth's surface is 10 tonnes per square metre, that's the pressure because the weight of the air over each square metre is 10 tonnes. If we go to the stratosphere where the pressure has dropped to 3 tonnes per square metre, the majority of the molecules of air are below us, it's only the air above that altitude that's pushing down, creating the pressure. At that altitude, there are only 3 tonnes of air over each square metre still above us. The same thing happens in the oceans. The pressure at any given depth is a result of the weight of water above.
    1
  3931. @Romanperro  where does the "weight" of the air and water come from? That's gravity, that's what holds everything on Earth down. The velocity that anything needs to escape from near Earth is 11km/s. That's far faster than air molecules in the atmosphere move, so, like you, if they are moving up at their maximum possible velocity, even if their trajectory is unimpeded at the top of the atmosphere, gravity will bend that trajectory and pull them back down into the atmosphere.
