  1. Past hour
  2. Nile shipwreck discovery proves Herodotus right – after 2,469 years
  3. Anyone ever tried to track certain thoughts by writing down the topic? I think that the laziness that comes after you make this a practice where you say I don't want to track thoughts is a good technique to avoid having frequent negative thoughts? like you replace the angry thought with laziness and avoid the thought? Sort of have to track the topics thought that make you negative first before you can feel that laziness.
  4. Not that it makes Herodotus any more of a reliable source, or not, but he was called the "father of lies" by Plutarch centuries after the fact for largely personal reasons namely because Herodotus did not portray Plutarch's people in a favorable light. Father of History or Father of Lies; the Reputation of Herodotus. p14.
  5. I have never heard an episode where they ridiculed anyone.. even though I thought they should have! Have you ever listend to an episode? Try one that has nothing to do with your favourite belief, that way its probably easier to be objective. There is nothing wrong with debunking, God knows there is a lot of bunk out there.
  6. It exists but isn't that wide spread. There are some companies like: American Hemp | Animal Bedding, Mulch, Composites, & Textiles – American Hemp LLC Farmers organizations: Hemp Fiber and Grain Association (hfga.io) And even college publications: Industrial Hemp Production (psu.edu) Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but some of the links above are educational and have further links to other sources of information.
  7. Oversword..vanity is everywhere. We're all guilty on some level at some point. However the repurcussions are not as severe in my opinion when used with a religeous backdrop. It influences people and they will follow. People are sheep...remember?
  8. Will your argument was for the UB, you were not referencing the NT. You changed goal posts. With that being said, I want to hear from 8ty, Piney, Cormac and Hammer too.
  9. That's exactly the goal of both NASA's Artemis programme and the Chinese space programme... a return to the Moon before 2030 followed by exploration of Mars. Both the International Space Station and Apollo programme would suggest differently. There is plenty of research going on in orbit, as we speak, that would be difficult or impossible using automation. As for the Moon, most of what we know about it comes from the Apollo missions, not from the small samples that were returned by Russian robotic missions.

  11. Of course, my most trusted source about cruxi-fiction lore comes from the experience of a survivor as told in the Havamal. I know that I hung on a windy tree nine long nights, wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin, myself to myself, on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run. No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn, downwards I peered; I took up the runes, screaming I took them, then I fell back from there
  12. Joe Biden probably wouldn't even be able to type them into Google! Zing. Got him.

    I've tricked myself into a schizo belief tonight

    Access to the DNA of a person's memory may one day lead to something that can interpret it and possibly dream recording and investigation? Maybe a person's memory lights up on a toposcan image of the brain when they have a memory of something, and doesn't light up if they don't?

    Trump ordered to pay over $350m For fraud

    Shussssh! I know, but I don't want deluded MAGA to figure that out yet. So the moment before the real Christ.arrives to smote them all, and the rest of us will get to see that priceless look on their faces.
  15. A postal carrier was among four people killed when a man went on a stabbing rampage in a northern Illinois city, authorities said Thursday. The attacks in Rockford on Wednesday also left seven people injured, and a 22-year-old suspect is in custody. A 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man and a 22-year-old man were killed in the stabbings. Police said three of them died where they were attacked and a fourth died at a hospital. Authorities have not released the victims' names, but the United States Postal Inspection Service, a division of the United States Postal Service, confirmed Thursday that a USPS letter carrier was among the dead. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/a-mail-carrier-was-among-4-people-killed-in-northern-illinois-stabbings/ar-BB1kHoTF?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=a19286ebb5184d15fee6341124b54d7f&ei=7
  16. I don't contest that humans could do a better job and you need humans eventually for space exploration and not just robots and AI. At the moment I don't think we can explore space the way we want and robots are the best possible way to do it indirectly. A mission to Mars could be possible but a colony on Mars is more of a dream. We haven't even visited the moon since 1972 and that should be our first objective and see how it goes.
  17. Had to google a few of those words 🤷‍♂️
  18. It's also worth adding that Prof. Rees' area of specialisation is gamma-ray astronomy, particularly GRBs and black holes, NOT planetary science. By it's very nature his area of astronomy requires robotic space telescopes and no doubt he would like to see more spent in this area... so would I, but all the time that space agencies (or any scientific research for that matter) have limited funds then difficult choices have to to be made.
  19. And just think of all the starving Greeks when they wasted precious resources on such vanity projects. Get real.
  20. @Sherapy @Piney I think they were more than just priests..... John R. Donahue, SJ, PhD, is the Raymond E. Brown Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies at St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore, Maryland. Daniel J. Harrington, SJ, PhD, (1940-2014), was professor of New Testament at Weston School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and general editor of New Testament Abstracts. He wrote The Gospel of Matthew and was the editor of the Sacra Pagina series.
  21. I'm no expert but surely there must be something between one person or family and tens of thousands. How about hundreds of people for a medium length of time? Or thousands for a short time instead of "very short" time? Or maybe just dozens? How do you know there is not a cultural reason? There is an actual megalithic archeological site there and no one is sure what the cultural reason they built that was either....
  22. Not necessarily. There was an article I read some time ago (which unfortunately I can't find). Fossils were randomly placed on a simulated Martian surface and experts had to find them using a rover. They missed every single one. As soon as the experts were allowed to search for the fossils using their own eyes they found them all. As of yet there is no robot, no AI as versatile and adaptable as a human being. Why do we send scientists to Antarctica, with all the danger that entails, and not robots? The simple answer is that humans are still better at certain thing than robots. For space exploration to achieve it's maximum potential it needs a combination crewed and robotic missions.
  23. The son of gains. Okay, I'm done now.😋
  24. Hidden from the public 😄 It took me 20 seconds to find this... You can bet your little tinfoil butt that everything he says is checked and re-checked again... and should he get something wrong (other skeptics are watching) it is emediately corrected in the next podcast. His background is in computer science and he is a member of the National Association of Science Writers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Science_Writers Science writer Brian Dunning is the host and producer of the Skeptoid podcast (skeptoid.com) with a weekly audience of 150,000+ listeners, and the author of seven books on scientific skepticism. He is the writer and presenter of the documentary films Here Be Dragons (herebedragonsmovie.com) and Principles of Curiosity (principlesofcuriosity.com). He has appeared on numerous radio shows and television documentaries, and also hosts the science video series inFact with Brian Dunning (infactvideo.com). A computer scientist by trade, Brian uses new media to showcase the rewards of science and critical thinking. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers and lives in central Oregon with his family. https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B001KHI68K/about
