Actually, the Daniel's library is up and Daniel claims to now have 10 times as many documents as before.
Interesting. Well, we most likely will update to reflect that - the more public the resources, the better.

Interesting. It does say you deleted it, Vauxy. I think Parsifal should be able to restore the thread, and I notified him of the issue (by way of linking to this thread and providing no explanation whatsoever), but obviously I'm not gonna make any promises on his behalf.

Out of curiosity, will you be copying over updates and new finds that Daniel uploads?
I think that scenario is very unlikely either way (given they don't even have a library right now), but we haven't decided on that.

It is my pleasure to announce that our Flat Earth Library has now been restored, at least in its simplest form. We may be trying to improve it in the near or not-so-near future, but the content is now easily accessible for all to enjoy!

But shouldn't entertainers and artists have the freedom to charge what they want?
They're not me, so fuck their freedoms.

IV - Good
IV wasn't crap. What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you, Vindictus?

The Expanded Unvierse was always a thing, and in this exact format. If anything, they now made Clone Wars canon... which is a shitty decision, but okay Lucas.

Larger time spans are necessary to view the overall changes in climate over the years.
Then why did you present a graph with a significantly shorter timespan?

Distances above/inside the equator are shorter, below/outside they are longer.  Please explain.

No.


Please read the FAQs.

No, but I'll ask you to keep your crap out of the serious fora. This is your third and last warning.

With all due respect, Kanye West was actually contributing to the conversation with real content this time around.
I see contributive posts and I see derailing posts. I am objecting to the derailing posts, and the contributive posts have no impact to that. Since we're dealing with a repeat offender here, I'm not interested in being lenient.

Will you DERAIL this NIGGA for DERAILING this THREAD?
No, but I'll ask you to keep your crap out of the serious fora. This is your third and last warning.

Sadly, I can't even drive.

Wait what?
I never needed a car, so I never considered getting a licence a priority. I should get around to it at some point, but I keep finding better uses of my time and money.

Oh good, another troll with a one-dimensional personality trait.

As for piracy, I tend to download stuff for free to get an idea of what they're like, then buy the album/ boxset/ game/ whatever if it's any good.
I used to do that, but as I started earning more money, it eventually started feeling like it's not even worth the effort. I just find it easier to buy stuff, and I can afford it, so meh. Therefore, the only way to solve piracy is clearly and objectively to lower the prices.

Also, I would totally steal a car if I could get away with it. Sadly, I can't even drive.

This would never have happened if he'd never been allowed to own a gun in the first place.
Nonsense. Guns don't kill people. Drugs kill people.

I understand the basics now.. the ISPs would be like Microsoft/Sony making you pay to use online on their console.
You could argue that Microsoft/Sony are not quite as bad, since they simply make you charge for their own service. ISPs could make you pay extra for the right to use someone else's products.

How long have ISPs been able to do this? Why haven't we seen it in practice yet?
My understanding (which may be flawed - I have some interest in American politics, but I don't follow it too closely) is that there is currently a debate as to whether net neutrality is the legally enforceable or not. There was a court case in DC Cir. in early 2014 that concluded it's not enforceable due to the FCC's limited authority. This largely popularised the subject.

I imagine one of the reasons people haven't been abusing this potential loophole yet is that it's not common practice - many countries of the world have specific laws protecting net neutrality, so general industry practices tend to follow. However, since the topic is fairly fresh in the US, the situation could change any moment, which is why securing legal protection of net neutrality is important.

The flatness of the Earth is evidence of the conspiracy.

Exactly. What other proof do you need??
To play devil's advocate for a moment: the flatness of the Earth could be evidence of there being a conspiracy, but it's not conclusive. There could be other factors. Perhaps some external phenomenon (can't say I could name one right now, but hypothetically) causes legitimate widespread confusion.

I've still got it saved both in chapter and complete forms somewhere if we need it.
I'm thinking of adding a miscellaneous resources page to our website. I think it'd be great to include The Book et al there, ideally as a PDF. Would you be interested in doing that?
