Technology & Information / Re: Why internet reliant products are bad

There is no reason that any home management hardware needs a server outside of your home.  None.

What about price. It would be cheaper to have one server that controls many houses rather than individual servers.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why a sunrise and sunset?

Flat-earthers have answered questions like this to death. You even asked the same question in two different threads. If you want an interesting answer then ask an interesting question.

So you can't explain it either.

Not proving you an answer is not evidence of an inability to answer. You can read the FAQ or use the search function. Hell, you can probably just scroll down or page back to find your answer.

This cannot occur on a flat earth. To lose visibility of the Sun on a FE model it must become obscured by either
1) Sinking below the flat plane
2) Switching off
Either of these would result in the entire earth becoming shrouded in darkness simultaneously.

False. Please review the FAQ. Thanks!

False. Please adjust the FAQ to reflect facts. Thanks!

Please watch the low-content posting.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: How Clouds Once Again Prove Flat-Earth Theory

How does that in anyway show an inability to address their points? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Since we are talking about an empirical fact (whether or not you can adress their points), absence of evidence is (weak) evidence of absence. You not adressing the points is more likely to happen in a world where you cannot adress their points than in a world where you can. Unless you are not actually interested in honest discussion, that is.

Honestly, I'm simply not interested in discussion. I posted this last June. I haven't seen anything that disproves the post. All the pictures posted of clouds confirm my position (thanks!) and all the pictures of trees just look like they stuck a floodlight behind the tree before snapping the photograph.

So, if my apathy to argue gives your imagination the perception of a perch on which to declare victory, then go ahead. As an aside, it's nice to know that you've turned the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" axiom on it's head, though. You should probably try and get that published in a journal or something so you get credit for it.

Or, perhaps, I haven't been swayed by anyone's rebuttals.

Which would indicate a rather alarming lack of flexibility in your beliefs, since you apparently also cannot actually adress any of their points.

How does that in anyway show an inability to address their points? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I'm getting a "404" whenn I search  on "the flat earth society". Has it been shut down permanently ?

No, it's experiencing technical difficulties.
And no one know when it'll be fixed...

Know.

NASA Ames Research Center.

I have it on strong authority that a leading flat-earth proponent has already infiltrated this facility.

Once again. Same old thing. Ask a flat earther a question. It's been 5 days now and no reply.

More likely no one answered you because the formatting of your question was garbage.

Garbage ?

It was intended as a friendly  debate on whom you would believe as to the distance from the earth to the moon.
I  just stated my opinion and the reason for it and would have been interested in other opinions and  the other reasons for them.
Simple as that.

Which brings up a question.:
Why,  in your opinion , do you  consider it garbage ?

I'll say it again and highlight the salient point for you. The format was garbage. It was inside a quote block. Your question was probably passed over entirely.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Round-earth evidence: the sound from Krakatoa
« on: March 31, 2016, 01:17:59 PM »
So, if reflected by "something at the edge" it would cause echoes at all sorts of times, because the distance from Krakatoa to the edge varies from about 9,000 km to 31,000 km.

Perhaps this is further proof that Oceania is really the center point of the firmament. More study is required.

Pictures can be fabricated with little or no assistance from computers. This picture shows faeries and was created decades before computers. Must it be real?

Simple, irrefutable, proof that the round Earth model is wrong would be for the FE supporters to travel to and document the ice wall.

Unfortunately they don't put any value in proof as it would, ultimately, prove them wrong.

Traveling to Antarctica to conduct an expedition isn't as "simple" as most people think. There is the matter of equipment, transportation, experts, crew, and above all else, the funding to pay for it all. If it's so simple, CableDawg, perhaps you can supply the funding for such a trip?

Can you give me some real evidence of flat-earth theory? All attempts I have seen to explain it have flimsy warrants and a complete lack of accepting the possibility of being wrong. And also, I believe this would qualify as a low-content post.

You can read the Wiki: https://wiki.tfes.org/The_Flat_Earth_Wiki

As you may imagine it gets tiresome rather quickly to constantly provide proof to people day in and day out. It's actually quite common for someone to come here, demand proof, receive a detailed answer, but never stop back by to read it. So, some of the more intelligent and work-averse among us wrote it once and posted it on the Wiki.

If your acceptance of flat-earth theory is contingent on getting a detailed and personalized answer rather than reading the Wiki (which we would likely copy and paste from anyway) then alas, perhaps flat-earth theory is not for you. Research is hard, I understand.

When these roaches scurry into the light I'll be able to personally reduce our welfare budget one bug at a time.

Deport Illegals.

They are by definition breaking the law. ILLEGALS. What do you suggest we do with law breakers?
