Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

[Wind Gypsy]

I think it's a matter of lots of hours, lot of fuel, and lots of wrenching on junk to keep it running.

My uncle owned a resort for a few decades on Mille Lacs and plowed a road out from his place which ended up being the main road out of that corner of the lake. I think multiple resorts chipped in and I don't recall there ever being an issue with others linking up to the road as long as doing so didn't eff up the road. I just know that maintaining that thing was a PITA and if it wasn't earning him money in access fees he wouldn't have dealt with it.

What I find interesting is the double standard of claiming scientific agencies/tests/test equipment are poor sources for info, yet the side that makes these claims then uses these things to support their theory.

The military told the US that it had a crashed UFO in 1947, the next day they said whoops, it is just a weather balloon. Since then any mention of UFO's were met with "crazy conspiracy theorist" mentality and those people have been publicly shamed, scientists that mention UFO's were de-platformed and shamed amongst their peers.

Today we hearing from whistleblowers (that have nothing to gain and much to lose) speak of secret UFO recovery and craft reverse engineering programs our government has secretly been running this whole time. Skip the little green men mentality, think of how profound the impact is that we finally answered the question of "are we alone in the universe" and yet science helped keep it hidden for roughly 80 years while ridiculing anyone that believed. There are many examples of this from cigarettes to using fossil fuels where science has deliberately told us lies. Science is great until it is manipulated. The Florida professor that faked 6 studies on racism, those studies were the proof of racism, now we know that they were faked which means racism in the US is not what they have led us to believe. Lead Paint... no problem, asbestos... put it in literally everything from brake pads to fake snow. And Covid was all science... just one side of science they wanted to acknowledge the other side was silenced, stripped of their license to practice and pharmacies refused to fill their prescriptions.

I agree with much of what you say, I just wanted to point out that things aren't always as they appear to be so if one is curious about the truth, prove it to yourself is all. Again, I don't think the Earth is flat but I can't explain why the science didn't work for me.

It is a big shit show every year on URL, One year, when there was little snow, I was out with a portable shack, and and there was 2 others with us. We left 2 vehicles out there, and went to the bar for a few beers, and some chow, to come back to our vehicles being blocked in with 8 foot snow banks. They must have had to plow a half mile square of the lake to get that much snow, because there wasnt more then 3 inches of snow on the lake then. Some people in a permanent shack told us which resort guide it was that did it. Luckily I had the phone number to the resort we stayed at, and called them out to plow us out, we all laughed. We saw the guide at the bar that weekend, and he saw us, and walked out. Bitch!

Did you go off the wrong side of the road?

Have any of you tried to prove the 8" per mi squared works? I see a lot of comments that don't appear to prove him wrong, having said that I think it is always important to do the work instead of just dismissing because something is considered common knowledge or settled science. SD keeps offering to do the experiment with others, take him up on it and report back here with the findings. Either SD is wrong or he isn't.

For the record I am not a flat Earther, but I did this experiment on a lake a couple years ago on a calm morning with no waves and 3 miles of line of sight. from the water to the top of the dock we used was 5 roughly feet. The curvature calculator says in 3 miles it should drop 5.95 feet so we shouldn't be able to see any of the dock. With the tripod in the water on his beach and the spotting scope just short of getting wet we could see the entire dock and we shouldn't have.

I felt like there was a flaw in his experiment which gave flawed results (because I am not a flat Earther lol). Water seeks its own level, so I looked it up and science says that you can measure the curvature of the Earth in a bucket of water if measured with the right lab equipment. I tried my best to debunk our findings but ultimately couldn't and still not sure why. That doesn't mean the Earth is flat, but it gave me a red flag on the topic that keeps bugging me. It is worthy to note that "trusting the science" hasn't been exactly bullet proof.

I climbed Pike’s Peak once. When looking East across the great expanse that is Eastern Colorado I couldn’t help but think there was a bit of curve. Of course I forgot to bring a straight edge with me to hold up and provide a reference….

Barr trail?

Barr trail?

I don’t think so. It was at a Boy Scout summer camp 20 something years ago. We went up the West side of the mountain, but I think we hooked up with the main trail somewhere up high.

This one should solve the question once and for all.
