Did you read any of the cherry picked quotes which I am deliberately misrepresenting or wilfully misunderstanding?Fixed your post.
Even if that were true about making it easier to compel people to testify, none of it suggests that those people have agreed to "flip" or testify negatively on Trump. They have only agreed to testify truthfully in the agreement.And why the utter fuck would a deal be made with them if what they had to say was going to exonerate Trump? Holy shit, dude! The mental backflips you do to argue black is white are ridiculous.
You wrote "Either criticizing them is bad or it isn't...", then closed the same fucking paragraph with the words, "Try some nuance."Ok. Well allow me to clarify.
Are you struggling with logical consistency?...Either criticising them is bad or it isn't,...^This doesn't sound polarizing at all...
On the contrary, it sounds extremely well thought out and reasoned...
AATW says it's a cult. Lord Dave points out that Trump's followers rejected his promotion of the vaccine. This appears to debunk AATW's claim.As Lord Dave says, this isn't really a contradiction. On that particular issue Trump wanted to take credit for the vaccine but he'd conditioned his disciples to distrust the mainstream. So he had to give somewhat mixed messages - saying how safe it was and that people should take it but also saying it was up to people to decide. So I understand why they were conflicted when their glorious leader was telling them contradictory things. I guess that explains why 55% of Republicans took the vaccine.
Health Canada's response so far is essentially "this is fine"Probably because they're basing their conclusions on evidence and expertise rather than screaming headlines from sites which pander to their particular biases?
They boo for the covid vaccine.Ha. Yes, that was an interesting one. Quite a difficult one for Trump to know how to pitch.
So....
Obama <military<Trump<Covid vaccine hate.
So basically cult of personality overrides respect for others.It is scary but is it really news?
Ie. They love Trump more than they respect the military.
Kinda scary.
I know more about it than you.Is your dad also able to beat up my dad? Seriously, dude. You sound like a 5 year old.
And provide all the other missing info that I pointed out while you're at it.I have asked you multiple questions several times which you have failed to answer, you are in no position to demand answers to anything.
And provide the math model for the 830 mile test too.The ways signals can propagate that distance have been explained. If you don't understand them or refuse to believe them because they don't fit your worldview then I don't know how else to help you.
it's obvious to me that it has to be line-of-sight assuming it's a directional antenna and assuming no curvature or else it doesn't work, does it?It's ironic that you above said that I "don't really know anything about the subjects that you involve yourself in", and then you say stuff like this which shows a complete ignorance of how these signals actual propogate.
Your problem is that you're always talking out of your ass and you don't really know anything about the subjects that you involve yourself in.Your problem is you'll leap on anything which you think backs up your worldview but you don't look in to the wider context.
No, the gateway is the endpoint in this case. You ASSuming that there was an unmentioned third transmitter acting as a relay on some unspecified mountain is just wishful thinking unfortunately.It wasn't an assumption, it was something I saw about this which made me think that. But having looked again I would concede I've misunderstood.
The conductive surface of the sea makes an excellent aid to propagation, and from amateur radio experience we’d guess that tropospheric conditions aided by the summer weather would have something to do with it too.
Radio amateurs on those coasts and islands chase those conditions and live in hope of making a rare UHF contact across the ocean to the Americas or the Caribbean. The difference in their respective frequency allocations notwithstanding, we wonder whether the same might be possible using LoRa given a fortuitous atmosphere.
There's a bunch of reasons for that that have nothing to do with the shape of the EarthDo go on. What reasons? On a FE two buoys at sea level would always have line of sight between them. Why is it news or noteworthy that this occurred?
One called AATW presumes that with no evidence. The company clearly states everything was done at sea level using line-of-sight.The evidence is in the articles you posted.
LoRa’s range depends on “radio line-of-sight.” Radio waves in the 400- to 900-MHz range may pass through some obstructions, depending on their composition, but will be absorbed or reflected otherwise. This means that the signal can potentially reach as far as the horizon, as long as there are no physical barriers to block it. Elevating LoRa devices—placing them on rooftops or mountaintops, for example—will maximize their range
he new world record was set by installing LoRaWAN trackers on a fishing boat Estrela de Sesimbra and on its buoys on the Sesimbra coast, Portugal. The tracker was able to make contact with a gateway in the Canarian Islands
If you think so provide the blueprints as evidence. Not stories. Real blueprints that we know for a fact were used to build real things.And how on earth could anyone do that? Even if they were presented, how would you know they were used? LIGO mention accounting for the earth's curve on their website.
lol The "Turning Torso globe proofsie" is one of the most cherrypicked observations in history.Cherrypicked is your get out of jail free card for any observation which doesn't match what you want to believe.
You can even clearly see how it seems to get compressed not only due to perspective but due to atmospheric conditions as well. Otherwise damn, did the curvature do that too?I didn't notice that but feel free to demonstrate that. But yes, the atmosphere does have an effect on observations. Certainly at the furthest distances the building is less clear because of visibility. What's your explanation for where the rest of the building has gone? Why does more of it disappear with increasing distance?
If things were really following the imaginary exponential curve that globers desperately believe exists, things would gradually tilt exponentially as well along with it. There are zero observations that show any tilt whatsoever. I wonder why?Indeed. At the furthest distance the building would be tilted away from you. At an angle of...0.45 degrees. You're surprised that's basically impossible to discern?
Not to mention that they desperately have to dimiss the many long-distance observations that match FECan you provide an example?
You think the horizon is caused by obstructionI don't know if I'd say "caused". It's the result of the earth being a globe. That means the sea slopes away from you which limits how far you can see.
You lack an understanding of what's being saidI'd invite you to consider who I was replying to. He has a habit of declaring things without explanation or evidence.
This discussion concerns the horizon.Dual1ty didn't use the word horizon. He said
Nah, sorry. You saying "ok maybe you're right about X" and then coming back to make THE EXACT SAME BUNK ARGUMENTIt's not the same argument because the two discussions are about different things.
You claim to value logic and evidence. However, you routinely demonstrate utter contempt for these things. That's why I dislike you.I routinely come to different conclusions to you. You seem to struggle when I don't immediately come to think you are very very right about things.
You provided examples of two things - obstruction and limitations of camera sensorsI'm not sure what you mean by limitations of camera sensors. The images both showed a boat where the bottom was clearly not visible.
I'd ask you a similar question: you've got a guy that's just saying things over and over, without even attempting to appeal to logic, and you're giving him a good portion of your time.Fair question. As I've told you, I post here partly because it's a diversion during downtime at work and partly because I don't like to see bullshit go unchallenged.
you go months at a time of constantly repeating the same nonsense and constantly being corrected, with no acknowledgement on your end.Well obviously I don't regard it as nonsense and therefore don't accept I've been corrected.
Even with the cost of living crisis, I do find it remarkable that you haven't been able to justify the £50 expense in the literal years you've been whinging about not understanding this simple experiment, and that you haven't otherwise found yourself near a lake or sea in all that time.Literally in the post you're replying to I outlined some work I did on this at a recent trip to the seaside.
