Related: While he's talking about the full height core, I think it would apply even more to the heavily damaged "spire." In his book, Freidman (a structural engineer who worked at the WTC site from 9/12,) made observations about the welds:

Now I think, that putting in the View∠ -box the value "horizontal FOV * sqrt(2)" resolves all my problems. I get the correct HorLftRgtDrop∠ and other values seem to be correct as well. The odd looking horizon curve in my previous picture is not...

Great context pics, thanks!

Really I just set out to investigate this slide, and associated commentary: The implication is that A) it's something other than a hairdryer burn, and B) it's related to a UFO sighting 9 months later. The claim is Vallee's. We don't know what...

You're raising a strawman. The claim generally isn't that aliens made the marks — in fact, I don't remember any of the marked people explicitly making that claim. The most common claim by far is that they don't remember how the marks got there...

actually, until we have evidence to the contrary i believe the young man who doesn't remember burning his stomach either. But thanks for [ex.]plaining my wrong think to me.

This video shows two things. Firstly that the outer ring (that's part of the shell of the hairdryer) gets hot, but not hot enough to burn (temperature in F here). Secondly, I switch it off a few seconds in, and it remains at dangerous...

Those are great, very like the kind of full and partial marks we see on the forum thread. The outer ring probably would not be so hot as to contribute though.

Example of a faint mark that's noticeable because it's geometric. About half an hour ago I pressed the scalloped end of a flashlight into my arm firmly for about ten seconds. It left this typical indentation, like a sleep mark, of simply from...

i used paint and put a cloth over my shoulder. unfortunately the only whitish clean cloth i have right now is thin linen so there's a pretty big bleed factor. and i dint really try to get the paint super even on my grill...but was only curious...

If anyone does, I suggest using a meat thermometer placed right at the grill, and don't do it if over 80°C, 175°F unless you actually want to damage your skin. Even then be aware you are taking a risk. I did <0.5 seconds with a thermocouple, and...

Day 2, small mark nearly invisible, just slightly raised skin. Large mark faded somewhat. I think the faintness is a little deceptive, as I've said before, if this were a geometric pattern, then it would be very apparent, even when faded.

It's essentially this thread: https://touraine-insolite.clicforum.fr/t987-tranges-traces-circulaires-cutan-es.htm There's also some pdf files with more details - but because they contain some limited personal information, I can't share them...

Yeah, I was thinking more of metal as being a dense material with high thermal conductivity. But you and @DavidB66 are correct, they DO hold a lot of heat. Heat Capacity by mass: (J/(Kg C))...

Nice, seems very close to what I got here: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/gimbal-derotated-video-using-clouds-as-the-horizon.12552/post-275771 Overlaid: Some divergence at the end, but it's very noisy there. The smoother parts are...
