@AlecLace Sunday news at 7 PM vs a late-night show around 11:30. Imagine if they were switched.

🚨 Trump vs Colbert on CBS Trump’s 60 Minutes interview: 14 million viewers Stephen Colbert’s star-studded finale (with Paul McCartney & celebs): 6.74 million Same network. One was a normal Sunday news show. The other was a hyped farewell event. The audience doesn’t lie.

@stockbella @mlsp1976 @realDonaldTrump Did you hate Biden? (Obama?) Did you stay?

@mlsp1976 @realDonaldTrump No one is forcing anyone to "move out." But if someone spends years broadcasting how awful, racist, fascist, or irredeemable America is, the natural pushback is: then why are you here?

@Suzierizzo1 God would your elevator get to the top of the building someday. Jesus Christ. Waaa. Waaaa waaaaaa. Drone on. Could you be more boring?

This man saw Michael Flynn at the airport on Miami & when Flynn saw him looking at him he wanted to talk to him & tell how he’s the victim of what happened on January 6th & acted like he knew nothing about the Capitol Police being injured or killed by the J6ers he calls Patriots.

@gaborpribek Yes please

@anthony_d2825 @GS_VCactivist Oh btw I missed your question about bouncing back, the reflector isn't a single mirror, it's like the inside corner of a cube. Light bounces around in it and comes out the same direction. You've probably seen this in a bathroom with two corner mirrors.

@anthony_d2825 @GS_VCactivist Ah I saw all the links the other user posted to explain how it works. But basically (it's nowhere near as simple as Palmer made it sound), they use a powerful telescope laser, it spreads out to something like a mile by the time it hits the moon. And have to do many pulses.

This is the best arguments I have heard against moon landing hoax. I love this.

@anthony_d2825 @GS_VCactivist Brother, I mean no offense, but your profile says learning. There's a lot to learn here.

@nickolaspeter @GS_VCactivist not one that far away

@anthony_d2825 @GS_VCactivist No one's ever shot a moving target before huh

This is also absurd... light takes 1.2 seconds to travel the distance from Earth to the Moon and vice versa. So if you fire a laser from Earth toward the moon, at that exact moment, the moon is 1.2 seconds further in its path than the light we see, so you're already aiming behind the moon. The laser takes 1.2 seconds to travel that distance, so by then the moon is 2.4 seconds further in its path. ASSUMING you actually hit the reflector, the Earth is spinning at 1,200 miles per hour, so in the 2.5 seconds it took the laser to reach the moon and bounce back, the exact spot on Earth where the laser was fired would have spun about a mile from that position... SO NO!! There are no laser refractors on the moon that perfectly bounce back like he's describing... PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!

@_ChaoticGood42 @NoLieWithBTC @Kathleen_Tyson_ So what are we talking about here? If it were state owned and state managed I'd probably agree with you. But that's not what's happening. They're planning on making more timber. And I like those forests.

@nickolaspeter @NoLieWithBTC @Kathleen_Tyson_ It’s only federal because they took control away from the states.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

@grok @ItsAliess @NoLieWithBTC Boost timber output. There we go.

The U.S. Forest Service is still fully in charge of the 193 million acres of national forests. It's undergoing a reorganization announced March 31 by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins: HQ moving from DC to Salt Lake City (closer to the actual forests), all 9 regional offices shuttered (staff shifted to state-level hubs), and 57 of 77 research stations closed (research consolidated in Fort Collins, CO). The goal, per the agency: cut bureaucracy, boost timber output, save taxpayer money, and focus on local management. Not abolished—just streamlined.

@_ChaoticGood42 @NoLieWithBTC @Kathleen_Tyson_ The land is federal

As salacious as this sounds, there’s really no reason not to let each individual state’s parks departments handle it. There’s so much waste at the federal level, that if the same amount of money was just given to states to take care of the forests, it would probably go a lot further and be spent with in-state contractors 🤷‍♀️

@joekanyou @einzie @PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele Here Joe I'll walk it out for you. (•) (?) (open) 👆 =You switch, lose. (?) (•) (open) 👆 =you switch, win (?) (open) (•) 👆 =you switch, win You'll win more by switching. You can do the same thing and not switch and you'll see the reverse.

@joekanyou @einzie @PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele Please try it!

In 1990 I wrote a letter to Marilyn vos Savant, Parade Magazine in support of her proof on the Monty Hall Problem. I ran an AI (expert system) test on it and she was right and just about the entire academic community was wrong. They could not accept it. Now they do.

@joekanyou @PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele Yes exactly, you go from a 1/3 chance to a 1/2 chance. It doesn't mean you'll win but it increases the odds Seriously try it with cups, it's what got me to understand it Do three rounds. Ball in #1, 2, 3 Always pick first cup, and turn over an empty one. Decide to stay/switch

@nickolaspeter @PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele I'm trying! I'm imagining blindly picking between stripes or solids billiard balls. The striped ball wins $1M and three balls remain. The host scuffs one of them, and tells me it's a solid. Either smooth ball could win, but I know the rough one is wrong. I have a 1/2 chance!

@joekanyou @PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele Joe you can try this for yourself with three cups and a ball (or any thing)

@PretzelLogic @BrianRoemmele Probability expresses how many successful outcomes are possible (1 door) out of your total choices (2 unknown doors). There aren't 3 unopened doors, so the probability can't be 2/3. But if you DO count the open door, you still have 1 choice out of 3 (with one known bad choice)!

@GLabsPlus @TheCinesthetic He could circular breathe

@nickolaspeter @TheCinesthetic Energy production is easy. We all do that when we eat. Mass production is a much bigger problem. According to Einstein's famous equation, E = mc² Producing 1 kg of mass requires 9×10¹⁶ J of energy.

Clark Kent gaslighting Lois Lane into believing he’s not Superman.

@GLabsPlus @TheCinesthetic So you're ok with him being able to "produce energy" (We don't have any real physics explanation here do we?) But you're not ok with him being able to "produce air?"

@nickolaspeter @TheCinesthetic As long as Superman can produce enough energy, he should be able to make high powered lasers. Given that he has super speed, it's reasonable to assume that he can use far more energy than a typical person.

@GLabsPlus @TheCinesthetic How much laser power should he be able to store? According to physics.

@TheCinesthetic Physicist here. No matter how strong Superman's breathing is, he can't exhale more air than what fits in his lungs. So, a few long breaths wouldn't be enough to slow Lois down. Clark would need many strong short breaths, acting like a pump to redirect air upwards from the side.
