Much of that video is obviously AI generated, like the one with the two story tall firefighters with a yellow hose that loops back on itself or anything with moving cars (scale is all over the place even in single shots and at one point a large...

Caveat: it's mountainous, so digging a canal would be a monumental undertaking. And given the enormous size of current tanker ships, it would seem to pose an even greater challenge to create a canal that would accommodate them. There's also the...

So, Trump said recently: TRUMP: "When you have energy and when you have gasoline less, everything else follows. It's such a big category. So when you have lower energy prices, which I think you admit we do, substantially, that means everything...

Yes, it's bunk.

The tallest mountain range in the Arabian Peninsula run down that peninsula, I'm not sure even Operation Plowshare could run a canal through that terrain, there's no convenient plateau lake to take advantage of. There's a spot around that weird...

Are you suggesting a canal here, for example? Along that path, the elevation gets up to ~4,600 ft (~1,400m) and is about 21 miles long (33.8 km) For reference, the Panama Canal is about 51 miles from ocean to ocean, but only half-ish of that...

Unfortunately, the whole theme setup for Metabunk is a bit of a mess, I'm tempted to just reset it all to defaults and start over.

Hmmm... I concede all of your points, while noting that Panama is also mountainous (and digging a canal there was a monumental undertaking, which, being much more useful, was undertaken anyway.) The utility being limited, the effort is not worth...

FWIW the current focus on Iranian use of missiles, drones and mines to close the Straight of Hormuz glosses over the physical limitations of the waterway itself. VLCCs (supertankers) and large container ships can be easily ten times the size of...

This thread has veered off topic. Perhaps a new thread if there's a new report?

Looking at that map, I am struck by the opportunity presented by the peninsula on which UAE and Oman sit.. A canal there would have little use during normal times, but might be handy when anybody, Iran or somebody else, might try to choke of...

Perhaps she was trying to manage nausea or was anticipating it, as it is a common side effect of Cymbalta. Consuming grated ginger might have helped her mitigate or prevent the symptoms. Nausea was the most common side effect reported in...
