@SKINNYTALLS @ThomasKundera1 @TojibaFan9000 @BoogRetard @memeticsisyphus Just test it with less power. That simulates strong signal at long distance. It's physics. You know, math & stuff.

@ThomasKundera1 @TojibaFan9000 @BoogRetard @memeticsisyphus Well how would you test it on the earth if its widest point is only less than 25,000 km?

If you show them pictures they’ll say they’ve been doctored, if you show them video they’ll call it AI, if you show them expert testimony they’ll cry conspiracy, if you show them math they won’t understand it. They’re not skeptics, they’re believers in a falsehood that can’t be dislodged.

Did you never play with a walkie-talkie as a kid? It's like that, but with bigger antennas. And you hold your phone up to the walkie. I mean, you can toggle back & forth between receive/transmit on 1 frequency, but they probably used split upstream/downstream frequencies to permit full-duplex (both sides can talk at once). It's just radio, with noticeable delays due to distance. Old B&W movies show car-phones, ship-to-shore phone links, and hams have done phone links way back. Anyone who's worked with electronic /signals/radio can tell you it's plausible & how it's done.

@memeticsisyphus Now explain the phone call to the moon.

It's a documented technology, which was produced by multiple companies. Can be reproduced if desired or needed and with enough money to engineer & small-lot produce new ones. We stopped because there was no demand; it's not like a mysterious wizard was the only one who knew the secret & he died. We can still produce vacuum-tubes if needed; we may have lost some of the details of high-end complex tubes, but we can produce basic ones with simple equipment & can get tricker with some engineering & trial & error research.

@DrunkIrish_62 @haprho We don’t know how everything was built, because once again with the VCR example; 1. It’s obsolete technology, 2. Nobody makes them anymore, and 3. You definitely will not be able to tell me how to make one.

Aww, poor flerfs — flerfs say we lost the technology to go the moon. We've also lost the technology to: 🔹️Build cathode-ray tube (CRT) televisions and computer monitors. 🔹️VHS VCRs 🔹️Kodachrome slide film 🔹️Floppy disks 🔹️cassette tapes 🔹️high volumn vacuum tubes (also called electron tubes or radio tubes) 🔹️high volume incandescent light bulbs

The fragments remained in his body. It's not difficult to work this out. Some bullets are made to stay solid, for penetration. Some bullets are made to fragment, to destroy tissue & dump energy quickly, and don't penetrate as well. Some are meant to expand yet stay together, but may fragment if say they hit bone.

@michelle_ogno First thing I thought of but still they say there was no exit wound, so where did it go?

If Charlie had no exit wound and the bullet fragmented where did the remaining fragments go? They couldn't have just disappeared....

@jimmy_tho @johnkonrad Shouldn't you guys be angry at Iran for threatening 20% of your oil supply? Especially since you just found out they have missiles that can reach Europe? It's not like Iran's been quiet & peaceful & we randomly attacked them.

@johnkonrad See when you start start a war without telling your "allies" and put 20% of the worlds oil supply in danger, countries tend to be pissed off for crashing their economies. That's what Trump did with this stunt. He's affected the economy of every country on earth.

Trump said we need Greenland because we can’t trust NATO to let us use it in a war. He said we need a battleship 100x more powerful to keep straits open. Europe laughed. Trump was right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@SavvyThaGreat @HotepDoobs Learn such valuable Communist lessons as "kill all the college folks" & "how NOT to farm or feed your people"

@HotepDoobs Well Mao pulled his whole nation out of dirt poverty in a human lifetime so idk maybe you could learn something.

Imagine listening to Mao Zedong or Lenin over Booker T. Washington or Frederick Douglass, and calling yourself “Pro-Black”. Y’all first mistake was trusting this fuck ass haircut.

@mikepratt @AAGDhillon He hasn't threatened them like the Dems did, has he? It was Schumer or Schiff who tried to influence the justices by threatening them.

@AAGDhillon You are an embarrassment. Grow up. You know he trod to influence the SC. You seem to have no problems when he calls the losers. You’re as bad as he is.

There’s literally a chair set up at SCOTUS for our presidents to sit in for oral argument. Your separation of powers nonsense is more imitation pearl-clutching hauteur.

@The_Kyle_Mann It would set the tone when world leaders visited, that's for sure! Perfect backdrop for Trump to rip off a few mags Saddam-style from an M4 at the opening ceremony & every July 4th.

🚨 BREAKING: The New York Times has released this terrifying render of Trump's ballroom. Should Trump be allowed to do this to our democracy?

We do take the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons very seriously. That's why we're destroying Iran's nuclear facilities & missile facilities. The UN preparing what-if scenarios just means they're being prepared. If the USA was planning to nuke Iran, we probably would have done it up-front; it's less justifiable now.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

@wadenstrom @RyanSaavedra It was brought up when this first started. The mention of Iran's negotiators stressing they had a ton of 60% material & refused to stop enriching was mentioned. The combination of building nukes & intermediate-range missiles that can hit Europe was brought up.

@RyanSaavedra This message – that the war was necessary to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons – should have been delivered clearly and jointly a month ago by President Trump, Secretary of State Rubio, and Secretary of War Hegseth. A unified front from day one would have helped.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives an excellent explanation on why the U.S. needed to strike Iran It's less than 2 minutes and is worth the watch

@BladeoftheS Governor Hochul seems to have a different take on that idea & how it plays out.

"If you tax the rich they will leave." "Fine we will just repossess all their stuff when they do."

That preamble is about how it's helpful to have a broad pool of men with their own arms in case you need to form an impromptu militia. Think a sheriff forming a posse; you can't immediately ride out after the bad guy or defend the town if you need to spend weeks buying guns & ammo & training everybody how they work.

The 2nd Amendment clearly states: Shall not be infringed. Every single gun law in the US is unconstitutional.

Frangible .30-06 is not common, but if you want any for some reason, Google finds several vendors with it in-stock. Also hand-loadable. There's odd combos out there; heck, I've got polymer-tip hunting ammo in 7.62x54R for my Mosins & .45 tracers for my 1911. Probably won't find it at Academy, but here you go, in-stock: 20 for $30: cdvs.us/product/30-06-… Pricey here: rtparmor.com/products/a_811…

The bullet jacket fragment was too fragmented to compare to Robinson's rifle. ATF result: inconclusive. The defense calls it "material exculpatory evidence." No exit wound from a .30-06 at 142 yards. The surgeon reportedly described the round as frangible — specialty ammunition that barely exists on the civilian market. Bomb dogs cleared the woods. FBI sent three rookie cops with under 18 months combined experience to "recheck" — they found the rifle. 12 Israeli-registered phones were active at UVU when Kirk was shot. Joe Kent found a foreign nexus. The FBI shut him down. Kirk asked Netanyahu about the October 7 stand-down order. He refused AIPAC money. Shillman pulled TPUSA funding four days before Kirk died. Erika inherited the organization. The audit Kirk ordered was never published. Use your brains.

Are we still supposed to believe the official assignation narrative because Erika is just a grieving widow or are we allowed to use our brains now?

They had a large starting donation from an adult-actress who appeared in a Star Trek TND adult-parody. She got them started. I own the DVD; it has an option to watch the episode "clean", and it's a reasonable low-budget attempt at a TNG episode. Also documents how they found a British guy as Picard look-alike, brought him over for thew production. He didn't want to do explicit scenes, so they used a stand-in.

@hollywoodscifi Why is sex work important to a sci-fi museum? Are you expecting everyone to clap?

We lost some followers who said they weren't going to follow us because we will not shame nor ostracize some of our donors and supporters, because they do sex work. But in one day, we gained over 3,000 new followers. So I guess we're doing something right!

@shivohamnarayan @WhiteHouse To militarily protect an international waterway, so their oil can pass through.

@WhiteHouse Trump literally just told the UK to “go TAKE” oil from the Strait of Hormuz themselfs. Not a joke. Not satire. The President of the United States just told allied nations to militarily seize a waterway. let that sink in for a second 🧵👇

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

@Arkasiraee @WhiteHouse We are not very affected by the closing. Europe & Asia are heavily affected. Trump is pointing that out. We don't need their help; they could use ours, and should step up themselves to defend their interests.

Day 32 of the war, we have an update. My war, your Hormuz problem:- 1. We need NATO help. 2. Not surprised NATO not helping. 3. We no longer need NATO help! 4. Actually we never needed NATO help. 5. We need Japan, Aus, Korea help. 6. They’re not helping either. 7. We are the most powerful country. 8. WE DON’T NEED ANYONE’S HELP! 9. NATO is a Paper Tiger without USA 10. The USA needs nothing from NATO, We will never forget. 11. Build up some delayed courage and go to The Straight of Hormuz.

@Angry_Staffer As a hypothetical, would this apply to say targeting civilian hotels un 6 unrelated countries? Pretty sure those were not military targets. Or the holy sites in Jerusalem.

Because it was superseded by newer technologies & became obsolete. Vacuum tubes faded away as transistors came in, discrete individual transistor faded away as integrated-circuits came out, digital-logic ICs faded away as larger-scale microprocessors came out. Mostly just thrown-out when they needed room for other stuff that was more useful.

@LostTman1093 @osgamer74 Nasa, northroup, boing and lockheed all claim specificly to have distroyed the apollo tech.

When people mock Nixon’s call to the astronauts as not possible because LANDlNE TO THE MOON LOL, what they are displaying is a perfect example of how small they think You can logically copy/paste that shallow thinking onto all their other claims that the moon landing is faked

For a sillier version of this comparison: in the 90s I used to enjoy blowing off early 4-cyl Boxsters with my V6 Dodge Shadow 4-door. But even in the 90s, I didn't claim my Shadow was better. Cornering & higher-speeds were more the Porsche's forte. Was amusing every time though.

@XFreeze This only seems cool because like most Tesla owners you're not a car guy and you don't understand that a 911 Carrera isn't a 911 Turbo.

The Cybertruck did not just beat a Porsche 911 in a quarter-mile race... it did it while TOWING another Porsche

Even if everyone "complies", they won't get them all. Assuming some warning confiscation is coming (law passed/politician elected/X-videos posted of raids): Some will be tucked away, some buried, not always on the owner's property. You'd have to tear apart houses to check inside walls, scan yards for buried guns & ammo, check forests for caches, etc. If you have a registry or sales-list: they won't all be where they're su1pposed to be. Plus, take them all & people will make more. Machine shops, 3D printers, plumbing supplies can all be used...
