As a nitpick, the radius of the earth in (in #18) is about the same at any latitude. You have the right radius, but by bringing in latitude it implies that you are measuring the radius of the smaller latitudinal circle.

Dane's House is about 10 miles east of the fire, and it was not spreading in that direction last I checked. I have a friend in the same general area who is nervous and packing emergency gear. Also two friends who are evacuated and may have lost their homes. I'm in the Sacramento area now.

Is there going to be a transcript? It's a lot to listen to.

I guess so. It is defined in DSM5. Does it fit the above criteria? To some extent at least, it does. https://mentalhealthregimen.com/signs-of-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-and-treatment-options/ Although PTSD is not considered a hereditary disorder there is a strong genetic component to the...

The Motmans study has two serious flaws. First, it has a self-selected study group, consisting of the people who returned the questionnaires. It is more likely than not that the 37% who did not return the questionnaires had worse health outcomes than those who did. Second, it represents one...

In listening to the video, I hear Shapiro saying there is no biological basis for classifying these people as women, but I don't hear him saying that there is no biological basis for the problem of gender dysphoria. His position is not unreasonable. The Y chromosome, which determines...

Skeptic Magazine has weighed in on this with an article supporting the mass hysteria theory. https://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/state-departments-claims-about-sonic-attack-diplomats-cuba-dont-add-up/ Since June, FBI agents have been on the Caribbean island conducting forensic analyses of the...

I don't have any experience with the AR 15, but they are supposed to be easy to take apart to replace components. The standard model with 20 inch barrel is 39.6 inches total length, too big for any suitcase that could be easily checked on an airplane. He could have spent some of his three days...

This is from the Mayo Clinic Definition of Mental Illness: Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. . . . Causes By Mayo Clinic Staff Mental illnesses, in general, are thought to be caused by a variety of...

One approach that might work with some is a direct appeal to their bottom line. ie, OK, I know you have doubts, but fossil fuel energy is not cheap. Most, although not all, of the ways we can reduce our consumption will help our bottom line. If you drive a compact or intermediate four...

"Data from Cold Creek show a substantial decline in the abundance of numerous forms of aquatic life over the last few years. There have also been instances of high aluminum content in water samples from this creek. It must have been caused by a secret government geoengineering program." (This...

Since I moved and changed to Comcast, my internet reception in general has been worse, with a lot of short duration crashes or pauses. Metabunk in particular seems harder than other sites to navigate in, and more likely to freeze up. Is there anything that I can do other than change service?

e The spillway flowed in March, 2016, a year when precipitation was 16% above normal according to CDEC. Before that, not since 2011. http://www.abc10.com/news/local/california/oroville-dam-releasing-water-over-spillway-for-first-time-in-five-years/101137863 2010 was also very wet year...

A panel of outside experts partially confirmed the observation/guess I made last month. Notably, the panel expressed concern that the concrete chute is only a foot thick, and less so in some places. DWR built the spillway on an uneven mountainside and in some spots used compacted clay to fill...

Here is an interesting documentary on spillway damage and repair at Glen Canyon Dam. The part relevant to this thread starts about 5:20 in part one of three. It describes the cause of spillway erosion as cavitation. This occurs when imperfections in the surface cause the flow to raise above...

Looking at the photo at the top of #18, it looks possible that the softer brown material eroded away from underneath the spillway, becoming semiliquified as the soil saturated with water. This would create a void where the spillway was not supported from underneath, leading to the failure.

Meanwhile, Shasta Lake as of noon was 8.66 feet from the top. Releases are 38,000 CFS, only 55% of maximum, with 104,000 CFS coming in, but they will probably have to increase releases to the maximum by tomorrow morning. I could foresee a flooding problem in Sacramento if this is combined with...

It is hard to see a credible motive for CIA or Mossad involvement. A random attack by a Tunisian Sunni muslim, would not likely affect Germany's foreign policy toward shiite Iran or its degree of involvement, if any, in the Syrian conflict. If anything, it would affect Germany's refugee policy.

It appears that what is bunk is the location, as well as the phrase "declaration of war." What is not bunk is that there are two ethnic rival gangs of muslim refugees who are at least potentially threatening to continue fighting the Turkish/Kurd civil war on German soil. Conflicts over...

Patrick Minnis said once that he had been an active debunker, posting under an alias on chemtrails sites. (Can't remember the source for this. It was several years ago.)
