@Realfinancial2 "Ex" Wall St quant. The rally is less surprising than him no longer being employed on wall st

@Mr_Derivatives We're assuming he sold the account.... hilarious career pivot if not and Sven might still be laughing all the way to the local Norwegian bank

Launceston, Tasmania feels like a secret Australia forgot to advertise.
A riverfront city of Victorian streets, world-class wineries, and a wild gorge that cuts straight through downtown.
You can sip pinot in the countryside in the morning...and hike cliffs above the Tamar River an hour later.

Sir David Attenborough turns 100 next week. "Please make no mistake. Climate change is the biggest threat to security that modern humans have ever faced."

@UGOOOTWEETS Sure it's rare to "be born with a rare condition" but did you know that it's even rarer to be born with a VERY rare condition 🤯

@Atomsmade "Instead we see chaos, suffering, and silence"
LOL dude is convinced he belongs in heaven
English

I'm a convinced atheist and here is my drop:
The world looks exactly as it should if no gods/god exist.
Cold, indifferent, and brutally random.
Stars explode and wipe out entire planets for no reason. Kids get cancer while rapists live to 90. One tiny rock in a sea of deadly vacuum somehow sprouts life that mostly suffers and dies.
Atoms are 99.9% empty space, wasteful bullshit.
Prayers change nothing. Miracles only happen in stories or blurry videos.
If an all-powerful, all-loving God was running things, we’d see order, justice, and mercy. Instead we see chaos, suffering, and silence.
Exactly what blind physics and dumb luck would produce.
No divine architect. No cosmic parent watching over us.
Just a messy universe doing its thing, and us temporary bags of meat trying to make sense of it before we blink out forever.
That's reality. Deal with it.

Convince me that God does not exist.

@loadedline @PathOfMen_ Lol 5am swim with mates before work... yeah nah I don't think so

@PathOfMen_ As an Aussie, I can say half of the list is complete bullshit.

@RM_19844 @Pivotonian1838 🎯 spot on. Was trying to explain aus rules to an American friend. Most relevant points I could think of were: it's rough but more notably it could be the only sport in the world where the official rules get changed halfway through a season

@Pivotonian1838 I wish they’d stop messing around with the rules every year. The game is unrecognisable to what it was 30 years ago.

First time since 1897 that 5 games have been decided by 9 points !

@alexboge @BiggsDarklight6 Yeah I did. You can tell the difference between photons bouncing off a mirror and photons bouncing off a reflective surface that isn’t a mirror.
Okey dokey

@mghardiman @BiggsDarklight6 How about actually reading what i wrote instead of remaining willfully ignorant.

Moon landing denial collapses on one physical fact:
Apollo 11 deployed a precision laser retroreflector at its landing site in July 1969.
TLDR:
Earth-based observatories verified its return signal before the crew left the Moon.
It still returns photons today.
No prior mission landed at that coordinate.
Every translunar-capable launch was tracked during the Cold War.
Multiple rival nations independently range the same hardware.
If Apollo did not place it, produce:
– The hidden launch
– The hidden landing
– The hidden installation
– The hidden tracking failure
– The hidden multinational conspiracy
Absent that, Apollo put it there.
⸻
The Details
What Apollo 11 Placed
Apollo 11 astronauts deployed the first Lunar Laser Ranging retroreflector in Mare Tranquillitatis.
It is a corner-cube optical array designed to return laser light directly back to its source.
It was ranged from Earth after deployment and before crew departure.
It still operates today.
⸻
Why We Know It’s the Reflector
When a laser pulse hits the Moon:
• ~1 photon returns for every 10^17 sent
• Regolith produces diffuse, smeared scatter
• A reflector produces a sharp, time-compressed return spike
These signatures are measurably different.
We aim at a mapped Apollo 11 coordinate and detect a device-specific optical return.
This is not random lunar reflection.
⸻
Independent Verification
Lunar Laser Ranging has been performed by:
United States – Apache Point, McDonald, Haleakala
France – Côte d’Azur (Grasse)
Germany – Wettzell
Italy – Matera (MLRO)
China – Yunnan Observatories
Historic USSR – Crimean Observatory
Australia – Orroral
Independent nations. Independent facilities. Same reflector.
⸻
Why “Something Else Put It There” Fails
There are no pre-Apollo landings at that coordinate.
Every translunar launch was tracked by the U.S., USSR, and others.
There is no missing lunar mission.
To deny Apollo placed it, you must produce:
1. An alternate launch
2. An alternate landing
3. Contradictory tracking data
4. A physical explanation for the reflector-specific photon return
No such evidence exists.
Meanwhile, the reflector continues to return photons from the Apollo 11 site - 50+ years later.
Explain the mirror.
Physically.

@BiggsDarklight6 @alexboge Right, so what bounces back is mostly bouncing off the moon itself
English

@mghardiman @alexboge Over that distance the laser spreads to a quite large area.
English

@BiggsDarklight6 @alexboge Ok. Shooting a laser beam at the moon to hit something the size of a dinner plate. Yeah. Ok.
English

@mghardiman @alexboge He explained that a laser off the reflector is verifiably different than a laser off the moon surface.

@Sasha4602844303 @RooBait @brobson_politic He was a person of interest in silk-miller case in the 90s because he drove a car similar to one seen at the crime scene... a Honda. That was the link. Nothing more. Years of intrusion because he drove one of the most common cars in the world.

@RooBait @brobson_politic Where is the evidence that police are “alleged to have unreasonably harassed him multiple times, often being intrusive without cause”?

I really don't know how I feel about this whole saga.
- I believe that Dezi Freeman needed to account for (be brought to justice for) the killing of the Victorian Police officers - but he needed his day in court.
- I wonder whether Dezi Freeman really was dangerous or whether he was just a guy with some mental health issues, that was handled very badly by Victoria Police - are Victoria Police just as culpable for their officer deaths?
- I now wonder what efforts Victoria Police made to actually arrest Dezi Freeman, or did officers just see a guy who killed two of their own and then executed him?
- I wonder whether Victoria Police or the coroner would ever run a proper review of the whole saga to determine if it could have been handled in a manner that didn't result in the deaths of two police officers and Dezi Freeman.
- I wonder if three people would be alive today if authorities had just left Dezi Freeman alone, in his bus with his family, where he was bothering nobody?
Remember:
When Dezi Freeman shot and killed two officers, Victoria Police were attempting to execute a search warrant based on alleged historical sexual offence - where that alleged offence was to have gone skinny-dipping during a family hike, that was also attended by a 16 year old family friend (the person who made the allegation).
So, essentially, 3 people are now dead because someone swam naked in front of a 16-year-old girl. There is no public allegation that Dezi attempt to force or coerce the girl into doing anything against her will (if he did then he's a c*nt and deserved severe punishment).
The Age@theage
Dezi Freeman has been shot dead by armed police on Monday morning near Porepunkah after more than six months on the run. Read more: theage.com.au/national/victo…
