Political analyst thinks voting for the loser is a "wasted vote". Does she believe her vote was "wasted" now? How can you be a "political analyst" but misunderstand the point of voting so badly? And when she realises she got it all so wrong… it's because of "racism and mysogyny"?

This is why the word "intellectual" just makes me chuckle nowadays.

Whoa. Either I'm really crap at geography or they moved Japan recently. Was it really that far North before?

Same latitude? It's not even the same hemisphere.

That's what I'd like to know. Are we just meant to take this guy's words at face value? Or is there something I'm not seeing because Twitter is so difficult to navigate effectively?

There used to be a lot more skepticism and care on this site. Now I have to scroll to the bottom comment to find someone asking questions.

This video is old - 2012 - and the law he referred to has already been amended (see http://reformsection5.org.uk/ ) - fat lot of good that did though considering current events. Looks like we need another campaign.

I'm reasonably sure bird flu exists but the bird flu "pandemics" sure seem like a fraud based on three lies:

  1. That bird flu will spread like wildfire throughout wild and captive bird populations and most catch it and die. (Films and TV really help to sell this idea.) Unless they're claiming there's a new genetically engineered version (they're not), this isn't how viruses spread in the real world. Bird flu is nothing new.
  2. That there is a bird flu "pandemic threat". Look at the "case" numbers. Very low. The only actual threat is government overreach: ordering people to kill their birds.
  3. That the best way to save birds from bird flu is by killing them. Millions of them. I don't know if they even bothered to try to make that one make sense.

  • Claim that life arose spontaneously from basic organic molecules that somehow were able to replicate.
  • Detect an organic molecule on another planet.
  • "It can only be produced by life!"

Guys… I'm sorry but… I don't think I trust the science anymore.

Right - the distance you can communicate is mostly determined by the antennas (both ends) and the frequency. Modulation mode does play a part because some modes are more efficient than others, e.g. a good SSB transmission concentrates all the transmitted energy into intelligible vocal frequencies while AM wastes a lot of energy on a carrier wave and a duplicate of the audio. FM has superior noise rejection but very poor weak signal performance.

They get mixed up a lot though, because AM is used on the short, medium and long-wave broadcast bands and FM on the VHF broadcast band, so terms like "FM radio" or "the FM band" are used.

The "AA" in the yellow circle is the old logo for the Automobile Association (breakdown service, etc.). The statue on the top of the grill is the "Spirit of Ecstasy" on all (most?) Rolls Royces. Don't know about the others.

The whole thing just doesn't make any sense. Take avian flu for example. How does it make sense to kill millions of chickens to prevent them... dying? And it can't possibly be to prevent it spreading to wild birds, unless they're claiming this bird flu is some new invention from a lab, because bird flu isn't new at all. If it were going to kill all the wild birds it would have done so already.

The way nobody seems to even think about it, and just go, "oh dear, now we need to kill them," is the most terrifying aspect.

In the winter it's not so much "waste" heat, it's less work your heating has to do. (I know, gas is cheaper.)

Good LEDs are amazing and last a long time. Cheap LED products (basically most stuff at the supermarket) can be really, really horrible - poor colour rendering, ugly tint, flickering - and are more expensive in the long run because they don't last long (insufficient heat sinking, poor drivers, etc.)

Or a paraffin or butane stove. Much smaller, cheaper and more portable than a wood stove. More power. Controllable flame. No soot on pots.

I think it's two things: they fear being misinterpreted as not supporting the current thing (see "he does not have the capacity...": can't possibly imply Russia has military capability, that would be far right!) And they're obsessed with appearing "intellectual". Short, concise sentences don't appear "intellectual". To them, long rambling sentences appear so, perhaps mimicking their favourite "journalist".

It's a washing machine, starting the spin cycle. You can hear it clunking around through the whole video. It's probably related to his lack of clothes.

All these people are involved in "philanthropy" and "charities" with the obvious purpose of saying, "how can I be bad? Wikipedia says I'm a philanthropist!" No surprise this is waved around now. I do wonder if it'll now lead to "investigating" some of these shady foundations (I put "investigating" in quotes because it seems like Durham & co. already know an awful lot more than they let on.)

Hopefully you don't mean you want government-run sites to be the only ones allowed.

Why would AF2 be travelling at 635mph, shattering its manufacturer stated maximum ability of 600mph?

Ground speed <> air speed.
