Please be aware that for the most part UT has no clue what he/she is posting. This was on full display in the Ukraine war sub-forum. Don't expect anything with links that back up their posts from any reputable source. Due to his/her inability to post anything other what amounts to nothing more than speculative opinions he was summarily bounced out of there permanently. I have found it far more effective to place them on ignore and let them spout their BS into the void. Seagull posters don't deserve time wasted on them.

Bigger boats, more nets, people arrive in Zeballos, B.C., for new orca rescue attempt A large seine fishing vessel capable of casting a net strong enough to hold a nearly 700-kilogram killer whale calf has arrived in Zeballos, B.C., to participate in the latest attempt to rescue the young orca stranded in a remote tidal lagoon. The flat-bottom aluminum vessel has a built-in crane-like device for lifting heavy nets, and it's expected to be deployed as part of a rescue effort that could happen any day now in the lagoon on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. https://www.cp24.com/news/bigger-boats-more-nets-people-arrive-in-zeballos-b-c-for-new-orca-rescue-attempt-1.6853701

How do you not see that in this sentence fragment you restate your belief that there is in reality a continuum between them and that Egyptology must be right and I wrong? You are assuming the conclusion even after I point out that Egyptology assumed the conclusion. You want to believe that a continuum exists as was invented by Egyptology by the way they collated ancient writing. You must believe it because otherwise it would be bad methodology to translate and interpret the PT in terms of later works. Then after the PT are interpreted in terms of later works it is announced that sure enough the PT look like the BotD because they are an earlier version. How many times do I need to say that Egyptology is wrong about every single thing as it relates to the great pyramids until people quit throwing Egyptological beliefs in "cultural context" and a "3000 year civilization" at me. I already agreed the PT looks like the BotD but I disagree that Egyptologists are right about anything or that these two corpuses bore anything except superficial resemblances because the later Egyptians venerated the earlier Egyptians and tried to COPY them. It is still you with the fantastical claims that any book of incantation can be understood sufficiently to deduce the nature of the culture and how it might change over time. Every translation of the PT is revolutionary and the most modern English translations DON'T EVEN USE PROPER ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every language has rules and Allen tries to circumvent these rules in order to give the flavor of the superstitions and gobblelty gook. He takes an untranslatable language and renders it into no language at all. But he hardly addresses the act that he and every other translator has no choice but to use the BotD as a template to understand the PT. It is remarkable that people tolerate this. Meanwhile no progress can be made as PROVEN by the fact each new translation is revolutionary and not one of them makes any sense. We get lines like "the way goes over the flames under which the Gods create" or "a child the intelligence of osiris N is not". But every line changes over time with seemingly no one noticing that none of them really make any sense and if think they do that very concept will be contradicted in the next line. It is clear what the BotD is and it is clear what it means. So how in the world can you say that it is based on nonsense? The PT were the "Rituals of Ascension". They were read to the various crowds at ascension ceremonies that occurred primarily on the east sides of the great pyramids. It's hardly surprising a few of these rituals were adapted by later people for use in conjunction with funerals. Why wouldn't they be and why wouldn't Egyptologists gather these up from numerous sources and call them the "Coffin Texts"? This doesn't create a continuum and doesn't magically make translating the PT in terms of the BotD sound methodology. It is abhorrent methodology. It is right there for everyone to see that instead of solving the PT in terms of the PT and the culture of the great pyramid builders Egyptology instead chose to solve the PT in term of a book from 1200 years later. You have semantics, tradition, belief, and doctrine on your side. But you have no facts, no logic, and have solved no mysteries like how osiris arose and why the king is often called osiris N. I have AMNSWERED these questions and shown my work right here in this thread. You merely choose to reject it. I can support it a great deal more with a lot more lines from the actual culture that built the great pyramids rather than a later one that wrote a superstitious treatise called the BotD. Why bother? Nobody can get through to those with all the answers and tactically this is not the ideal thread for me to try.

Wolves killed several yearling cattle in north-central Colorado this week, bringing the total number of wolf kills of livestock this month to six. Colorado Parks and Wildlife on Thursday confirmed that wolves killed three yearlings on a Grand County ranch between Monday night and Tuesday morning. The carcasses were discovered Wednesday, agency spokesman Travis Duncan said in an email. On Thursday, wildlife officials investigated a fourth yearling killed on the same property and determined the animal was killed by a wolf. https://phys.org/news/2024-04-reintroduced-wolves-yearling-cattle-latest.html Related:

Too bad that distinction was not being made by protesters as well when they were threatening and attacking fellow students who were Jewish.

You’re correct, and that’s why I used the words ‘appears to now be playing out’. As Jesus said, “No man knows the hour or the day”. I’ve always found it embarrassing when someone claims to have studied scripture and pinpointed the exact day of Jesus’ return, but judging by what I see happening in the world today, it now appears to me that many of the conditions spoken of in biblical end-times prophecies are gradually falling into place.

He never claimed there was no redeeming NPR or that it had no value. He just said that it had taken a turn and now represented only the viewpoint of a very narrow swath of America and that it needed some reformation in it's methodology to be more inclusive or representative.

What pretense? Is recognizing antisemitism really that difficult? But yeah sure, by all means then, explain how chants like 'death to Jews', 'from the river to the sea', 'resistance by any means necessary', and 'globalize the intifada', are not antisemitic. If you're not clear on what some of these terms mean, here's a crash course. Opposing Israeli government policies or advocating for the rights of Palestinians is not inherently antisemitic. A line is crossed, however, when such views and opinions intersect with antisemitic myths, symbols and chants. Another line is crossed when Jews (individually or collectively) are held responsible for Israel’s policies and actions. Criticism of Israel almost always veers into antisemitic territory, and I have yet to see a pro-Palestinian protest where it didn't. You are aware are you not, that the punishment had nothing to do with a mere expression of opposition? Silly me, of course you are.

Awesome, can't wait

Tears, shouts and interruptions marked residents' comments Wednesday night over a proposal to exterminate geese in Bristol, Conn., parks. As the city's Board of Parks considered a proposal to kill resident geese that are causing excessive waste that is marring Veterans Memorial Park, dozens of residents shared conflicting opinions on how the city should proceed. https://phys.org/news/2024-04-mass-geese-conn-city-outpouring.html

I know exactly what you speak of... Sometimes though prodigies who have no equal,become either lazy or arrogant,buying too much stock into their own hype. Iron sharpens iron anyway...I'd rather have a friend who played like s*** with me playing in a bar,than some prick who'd just run away the moment pool cues started snapping 🤣

Wait, wut? Weren't you on here a few weeks back screaming about the "poor Palestinian chirren"? So now if Rafah is crushed, erryting be ayrie?

For me, it's because of blinded controlled experiments suggesting such an ability as well as the anecdotal sense of being watched in paranormal cases followed up with unexplained phenomena. Also going into this side subject as a believer in ESP from other evidence, I can see why the ability to detect an unseen presence would be highly favored by evolution making this ability more likely. From Sheldrake's Paper: The first kind of experiment involves direct looking, using versions of the Coover procedure. People work in pairs, with a subject and a looker. In a ran domizedseries of trials the subjects sit with their backs to the lookers, who either stare at the back of thesubjects’ necks, or look away andthinkofsomethingelse. A mechanical signal marks the beginning of each trial. The subjects guess quickly, in less than 10 seconds, whether they are being looked at or not. Their guesses are either right or wrong, and are recorded immediately. A test session usually consists of 20 trials, and takes less than 10 minutes. In the second kind ofexperiment, thelooker and subject are in different rooms connected through closed circuit television (CCTV), as discussed in the follow ing section. Direct-looking tests are far easier to perform than CCTV trials, and have now been carried out with many thousands of participants, both adults and children. Many tests have been conducted in schools. This research has been popularized through New Scientist magazine, BBC TV and Discovery Channel TV, and test procedures have been published on these organizations’ web sites, as well as on my own (www.sheldrake.org), enabling numerous people to participate in this research. At least 20 student projects in schools and universities have involved staring experiments; several have won prizes at science fairs. Altogether, there have been tens of thousands of trials (Sheldrake, 2003a). Theresults are remarkably consistent. Typically, about 55%oftheguessesare right, as opposed to 50%expectedbychance.Repeatedovertensofthousandsof trials this result becomes astronomically significant statistically (Table 1).

And yet Liebour won't remove Rayner following her property deals. Vote reform.

Dole Pineapple. 100 percent stolen ground. No offense. My first stepfather was Issei from O'ahu. Born in the very camp nobody wants to talk about that Obama finally recognized. No Gaijin should live there and they should give every inch back. The Mormons should be driven right into the ocean to swim back to Utah. And they should confiscate every inch of what Oprah owns and give it back to Native Hawaiians. And the Honolulu School System makes Camden, New Jersey's look like Eton.

How do you know they actually do? (The answer is not, actually especially not, that Rupert Sheldrake of all people said so...)

Israelis are far too strategic and tactical to care about appearances.

No doubt,I was a bit surprised after doing a little digging around a few years back... That said,the rotten food part may not have been entirely her fault... "That's all these starving kids need, someone like Sally standing there saying,"Are you going to finish that?"...Al Bundy talking Sally Struthers 😆

Do Brits have access to the AP? It was an AP article anyway. It's probably worth investigating things oneself if one's backwards country blocks them from certain Internet content. Pretty hard for someone located in the best country in the world to assess the myriad geographic blocks that might affect others consumption of the Internet. https://apnews.com/article/trump-manhattan-stormy-daniels-michael-cohen-b514cb52bb31a82579cb827c40166173

Just because Birmingham made ****ty swords and zischagges doesn't mean you have to fault him for razing the smithys along with the rest of the area. I think you need to grow up and get over your burnt city, dead friends and relatives. You still have a Dominoes Pizza and in his defense at least he wasn't a Catholic.

I'm just a dumb Brit. Neither opens for me: This content is not available in your country/region.
