Agreed. You ask AI the same question twice and it will regurgitate two opposing viewpoints.

I probably would feel more sympathy if I wasn't enjoying warm weather and sunny skies right now. Sorry, I didn't mean to antagonize you with my comment.

I agree with Mr. Russian. Weather has always been subject to extremes, long before technology came about. I don't see a conspiracy here.

Nice to see some well-reasoned statements on this along with some underlying evidence. Musk has become a divisive public figure around here as people tend to paint public figures in black or white...which is ridiculous...nobody is all good or all bad.

I don't know if this will spread to other social platforms. If Twitter gains a competitive advantage with its new policies, it's possible the others will have to fall in line.

No way. Ma Nature is fully capable of doing this on her own...looking for some hidden meaning behind it is too much.

Man, the interviewer is desperately clinging to his Trump worship despite being repeatedly slapped by this woman's argument. I can't continue to watch this unsanctioned verbal beatdown.

I'm going to present my argument, but before I start I am going to childishly shut down anyone who disagrees with me, because I don't have any evidence of the claims I am about to make and I am angry.

That's an interesting take. I don't think musk would have voluntarily stepped down from a rampant AI, something he considers one of the greatest potential threats to humanity.

Could you sue the coroner to have that stricken from his death certificate?

I don't think you have to agree with someone on all the issues. There's value in having someone like Dr. Peterson on the public stage adding to the public discourse because he talks a lot of sense. Too many people on these forums categorize people as all good or all bad... (if you're for this one thing I disagree with, you're a shill!)

Take the good and leave the bad. No reason to "cancel" people because you don't agree with them 100%.

I don't follow your conclusion there, could you elaborate a bit?

This isn't a coded message... it's just Elon trolling the internet again. He does this frequently for laughs. You should see the number of people who were horrified that he has "guns" even though they're just props.

If true, it's concerning that he would lie about it, but a lot of successful tech startups were created by college dropouts.

I noticed this is all being posted by an account called "capitolhunters" - who are working with law enforcement to find and punish people involved in the Jan. 6 "insurrection". Not exactly a source I would go to for information on Elon Musk's past, but the documents provided were pretty convincing.

I suspect people who believe this stuff are looking for a way to avoid accountability for their own actions. Or they can't accept some people are capable of horrific acts because it undermines some part of their belief system. It doesn't make sense to blame the unseen and unknowable for something in plain view.

This is nutty. You don't have a shred of evidence that demons exist, let alone that they are controlling people through music and technology. Everything that is blamed on demons is stuff humans are fully capable of on their own.

Not everything is a conspiracy. What you're attributing to conspiracy is marketplace action at work. It just happens that Musk has enough concentrated capital and leadership clout to make decisions like that. It's kind of nutty to imagine having that much power.

That's a good point. I haven't done the math but my gut tells me the earth's orbit around the sun is almost circular so the acceleration is probably too small to notice given that it takes A YEAR to complete one orbit.

I just looked up the flight path for the Orion capsule and it's pretty impressive. It took off from earth to meet up with where the moon would be by the time it got there, used the moon's gravity to fling it away in the opposite direction, and it's now on its way to meet up with the moon a second time and use its gravity to fling it back toward earth for a landing.

Isn't the official story that they found out about it after the war? It wasn't part of the wartime propaganda.

Yeah I agree. There may be an explanation for it that's not obvious to the average person without knowledge of the limitations of modern cameras. NASA tends to use older technology that they have hardened against radiation rather than the latest and greatest. Still, the moon image was blurry and full of compression artifacts while the Orion craft was crisp. Could be that the craft was perfectly still relative to the camera while the moon was not and the antialiasing software couldn't handle it. I just don't know enough about digital cameras to come up with a theory.

I suppose bandwidth could be an issue, especially that far from earth. I doubt they could livestream it at that resolution. Still, I had hoped the video would be better than it was,

With elliptical orbits like this one the speed changes depending on where you're at in the orbit. The craft slows down as it moves toward the apex and speeds up afterward. Think of it as a car coasting up a hill and having enough momentum to go over the top, then picking up speed again as it rolls down the other side.

Look, I believe in the mainstream stuff about space and even I thought this livestream looked bad. No high-res closeup video of the moon, just blurry wide angle shots. I'm hoping they recorded the back side of the moon when the capsule was only 80 miles away from the surface.
