« on: December 15, 2024, 08:12:54 PM »It would be nice if more experiments were performed on Antarcica. However, some here will recall the last trip to Antarctica experiment turned out to be a scam perpetuated by the RE'ers organizing it. People paid a lot of money to go and the organization just disappeared with the money.Well, it looks like this one is happening for real (assuming you don't think that the whole thing is being green screened).

If you tried to pull this shit in Norway, or even Canada, and were caught, you will definitely get fucking deported.Perhaps not on the flat earth, but on the round earth there are a number of countries, including Canada, with birthright citizenship.
Every Country with Unrestricted Birthright Citizenship (jus soli):
The following countries have unrestricted birthright citizenship: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chad, Child, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Lesotho, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

The last time Trump tried tariffs on China, he wound up having to bail out American soy bean farmers.
After a series of tariff increases on Chinese imports, the government of China retaliated against U.S. exporters, as predicted by trade analysts outside of the administration. As a result, U.S. exports, particularly of agricultural goods, dropped significantly. “Losing the world’s most populous country as an export market has been a major blow to the [U.S.] agriculture industry,” reported the New York Times in August 2019. “Total American agricultural exports to China were $24 billion in 2014 and fell to $9.1 billion last year, according to the American Farm Bureau.” In 2018, U.S. farmers’ soybean exports to China declined by 75%, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Key Findings
The Section 232 tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum raised the cost of production for manufacturers, reducing employment in those industries, raising prices for consumers, and hurting exports.
The jobs “saved” in the steel-producing industries from the tariffs came at a high cost to consumers, at roughly $650,000 per job saved according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
A recent report from the U.S. International Trade Commission found that the tariffs increased the average prices of steel and aluminum by 2.4 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, disproportionately hurting “downstream” industries that use steel and aluminum in their production processes.

I'm wondering if children hitting puberty earlier and earlier has them trying to come to terms with their sexual and/or gender identities before they're really ready for it.
Summary: Study reveals 11-year-olds who question their gender identity or express a desire to change their gender enter puberty earlier than their peers.

Do you really expect a fast food franchise with a high employee turnover rate to keep employee records from 40 years ago?

Ah, yes, of course. The government of the Soviet Union. Well renowned for their trustworthiness and guile. How could I possibly claim they made something up? It's impossible.

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Circumnavigation World Record Sailing Discrepancies
« on: October 04, 2024, 09:08:02 PM »We know that hundreds of people are trying to beat world records, and there are even yearly races around Antarctica (which we are often pointed to, but the details are rarely discussed). This represents the best boat, so your arguments are pretty invalid.Most of also know that many world records, including circumnavigation records, have any number of categories based on the particular type of craft and crew size, so context matters. Picking one record and saying that the rest don't matter is nothing more than cherry picking.

« on: October 02, 2024, 09:08:58 PM »Not only is the Antarctic circumnavigation a shorter distance on a RE than the distance circumnavigation around a RE (or 21,600 miles), but it is known that the winds are anomalously fast in the Southern Hemisphere. A number of quotes can be found which suggest that the winds in the South are of an anomalous nature as compared to the North. They become more anomalous as you travel Southward:Not anomalous, just different. Given the uneven heating mentioned in your BBC quote and the fact that, except for the southern part of South America and New Zealand, there is little to no land mass between 40 degrees and 65 degrees south latitude to get in the way, one should expect the prevailing winds in the south to be significantly faster than in the north.

A lot of cultures eat dogs. It is normal for them.

"Trump did wrong thing, therefore they can do wrong thing too" is not a very rational thought process, markjo."Trump did the wrong thing" is why the nonprofit organization representing the Haitian immigrants who have legal status is filing criminal charges against Trump, even if the local authorities won't.
