But when things disappear from the bottom up at the horizon at see it indicates curvature. Maybe not enough curve for a perfect sphere, but no one's claiming it's a perfect sphere. If there was no curvature at all the whole image would dwindle to a point, but we clearly see objects disappear over the horizon at see from the bottom up.

Our of curiosity, what would you need to see in order for your view to change?

I'll tell you mine. I would need to personally see either the ice wall from an elevation that makes it possible to see that it is not simply an iceberg or a continental shelf cliff, or I would need to see the armature that holds and moves the sun or moon.

Why does the sun sink below the horizon at sea? On a flat plane where the sun orbits a central point, it would never set like that - only shrink to a distant point in the sky.

Yes, you can use a digital camera to see boats out at see that have disappeared to the human eye. What you leave out is that if you keep watching through the camera, the ship continues to disappear from the bottom up. What would cause that?

Edit: And as already discussed, 8 meters per square mile is a calculation for a smooth ball and not an oblate spheroid with many variations in elevation.

That's what I thought

It's an oblate spheroid with irregularities in height, not a perfect sphere. What rate of curvature should be able take into account all differences in height between mountain and canyon? Ok, that's unfair. But seriously, is there a rate of constant curvature that would account for even slight changes like rolling hills?

This is a distinction more people should contemplate. We are anchored to the physical by bodies, so it's easy to forget that we are not simply what's contained in flesh.

Personally, I'd put this one down to alignment of interests. Tavi & co wanted programs that challenged public/cultural opinions, and those guys wanted to make a sketch show that poked fun at normative cultural behavior. That said, it's not impossible they could have received directional nudges or important themes to incorporate occasionally. But outright proving it is going to be difficult.

Utterly stultifying that so many can apply that level of discernment to what is ingested but not to what is injected. I could not find upper or lower toxicity levels for internal exposure to aluminum, which is worrying because there's no difference in manufacture of vaccines for adults and vaccines for children.

I probably do worry a little too much about things like that.

But you're right, there's an odd amount of "news" recently with cannibalism in it. And remembering all the zombie articles that came out in the past few years makes it even weirder.

My speculations on a potential targeted food shortage weren't really new information - just remembering food processing plants catching fire and extending the idea that the average American might be ill equipped to handle sudden, unprovoked violence. But then I remembered that lots of people are waking up, getting armed, and in general ready to stand their ground. Maybe even fight to take some back. So I deleted partly because I was wrong, and partly because even if I wasn't it still plays into the fear narrative that's constantly getting pushed out.

The sun drives our climate.

The entire argument of emission driven heating assumes solar output is a fixed constant and cherry-picks pieces of data to support a link between temperature increase and C02.

Currently the CO2 level of the atmosphere is about 0.04%. If it falls to 0.02% most of the plants on the planet would quickly starve.

Sequence of years on the x-axis suggests each data point is a total of known murders to happen in that year. This is corroborated by the black line that marks an average of 23 deaths per year from 2000 to 2019.

Label at the top of the graph indicates the victims should be classified as residents of Portland (probably both legal and criminal). It's possible that the numbers could be inflated by guesswork about the number of residents in '22 and '23, but without a source it's impossible to say for certain.

I understand your confusion. Often times data is intentionally presented in a way that makes it difficult to interpret meaningfully, and it takes considerable effort to train oneself to put it together coherently.

Oddly enough, influenza wasn't killing nearly as many people as bacterial pneumonia in 1918. Of course, lots of experts say the virus somehow primed victims to be infected by the bacteria, while others say the mandated masking ordinance was to blame.

Interestingly, MJ Rosenau began a series of experiments regarding transmission of influenza that year. While he was focused on Pfeiffer's bacillus as a cause, it's worth noting that methods of diagnosing the flu did not change after the blame was shifted to the influenza "virus," and his methodology should have resulted in transmission of infection regardless of bacterial or viral causation. The fact that none of his experiments resulted in transmission of illness should be taught on day 1 of med school.

I'm pretty sure he was an early Mesopotamian king. Iirc, there was also a stigma of defying God somehow attached to his story.

Just from that glaring spelling error, I'm betting this page is extremely low quality (probably internet 1.0 with excel style frame tables) and likely has a matching quality of information.

Do you know where I can find another?

It's so baffling how the childhood vaccine schedule skyrocketed in 1989, the same year we see the massive surge of autism beginning. So weird that this happened shortly after legislation was introduced to make vaccine manufacturers immune to prosecution for the injury their products cause because vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe."
