    The earth is flat !

    I'm doing some research on his page. His main problem is that he links this page as a source. The writer makes it clear that these are all projects that are "alternatives to the terrestrial and satellite telecommunication systems." Businesses are always trying to come up with ways to make...

    The earth is flat !

    My point is, on a flat earth, no matter what "map" you use it is impossible for those flights to happen. I don't know if you can book a flight now due to Covid, They were expensive Direct flights from Qantas airlines back before the Pandemic. Not according to this map. The ASPA area takes up...

    The earth is flat !

    I said that there are scientific research facilities that you can't go into. Which is all that article references.

    The earth is flat !

    I want to know what earth model you do subscribe to that would allow the Travel from Australia to South American in the Southern Hemisphere in 9-12 hours. I don't care if it is pizza shaped or not.

    The earth is flat !

    You've obviously never had to setup DirectTV. You have to have a clear path to a certain point in the sky and then you have to adjust the dish to point to the satellite. And please don't try and tell me it was a balloon. A balloon would never be able to remain still enough for communications...

    The earth is flat !

    First, Satellites are expensive to launch and maintain. In the mid-2010's companies were looking for ways to bring internet to rural/remote areas. Project Loon was one of several projects exploring ways to make the internet more accessible. It didn't work and was shut down. When SpaceX...

    The earth is flat !

    I work in I.T. and have built computer networks for almost 30 years. Satellites are real. Also, when you put point to point microwave transmitters on towers and you have to adjust for the curve of the earth. It is part of the equation when planning microwave networks. How to cruise ships...

    The earth is flat !

    The Space program started in earnest in the early 60's. CGI didn't exist at all until the 90's and even then CGI looked faked. Star Wars in 1977 was the first movie that didn't look like spaceships were hanging from a string (just look at the original Star Trek and Lost in Space TV shows)...

    It's too hot!

    If the heat index is over 90 it is too hot for comfort. The past week the heat index has been around 110f/43.3c in my area. (actual temp in the high 90's with 90+% humidity). The perfect outside daytime temp is 75f with low humidity.

    Youth Group Gatherings

    Yes and no. We have a large and active Youth Group but they do not go to a state or national conference. They do, however, go to summer camp. As a matter of fact, they left this morning to go to camp.

    Boris Resigns

    They seem to think so, since it was his own party that booted him out. If American Politics is like boxing then British politics in like unrestricted cage fighting.

    A fetus

    I don't think it is purely by DNA. The DNA shows it is human The fact that it is growing and maturing show it is alive. Therefore, it is a living human.

    Other people's life choices

    Very few choices we make don't effect someone else or at least have the potential to effect someone else. If I choose to do drugs then it effects my family and employer as I'm not going to be as responsible and work as hard If I choose to drink and drive then it effects the other people on the...

    Presidential Race about to kick off

    Yes, but it is very early. Bill Clinton got less than 3% of the vote in the Iowa caucus in 1992. As long as DeSantis doesn't pull a Gary Hart then my guess is that he will be the nominee. It depends on how loyal Trump supporters are to Trump. The republican party is made up to two factions...

    Coming to Faith/Baptism in early teens Getting married in my early 20s Having my first child in late 20's My mom passing away in my late 40's All of those things have a profound meaning and change in my life and, in some ways, who I am.

    When you see a homeless person,

    At our local Walmart I've been hit up for "gas money" several times. I usually tell them to pull their car to the pumps at the Murphy station that is in the Walmart parking lot and I will buy them some gas. Of the 3-4 times this has happened only one person let me buy them gas. The others...

    Top Gun Maverick

    I thought it was great. Like most movies, you have to accept absurd facts as true, but it was a fun movie that had great camera work and was surprisingly emotional, especially if you liked "Top Gun". I was a teenager when Top Gun came in out in the 80's so Maverick was nastalgic for me.

    Presidential Race about to kick off

    Nikki Haley is also an ethnic minority. Her parents are from India. That could peal not only the "we only will for a woman vote" but also the "we will only vote for a minority vote" away from Harris. I don't know how great a president she would be, but I think in a head to head with Kamala...

    Presidential Race about to kick off

    Traditionally, the Presidential race kicks off after the midterm elections in November. Several Republicans are already doing the leg work to prepare for a campaign. I read that Trump is planning on starting his campaign this summer. I you believe the papers, there is a growing contingent of...
