We have neither the understanding or the technology.

K2-18b is an exoplanet fairly close to us, at 'only' 124 light years and it has been of interest because of potential 'biosignatures'. It's 2.6 times the size of Earth so it could be a water covered terrestrial type planet, one of the so called super Earths. On the other hand it could be a mini...

Drop the I, it will be only be BRCS

The PRC have got the Yanks in a bit of a tizz by debuting 2 tailless 6th generation fighter prototypes in 24 hours. These are pretty big birds, more akin to a fighter bomber. https://www.twz.com/air/china-stuns-with-heavy-stealth-tactical-jets-sudden-appearance

Great show, always thought the string vests should have been black. Then a few nipple rings....

More anchor dragging. Finnish authorities have taken the ship. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/26/finnish-coastguard-boards-eagle-s-oil-tanker-suspected-of-causing-power-cable-outages

Bravo to the pilots. They kept control until the very last. Could easily have lost all the souls on board. Well done. I haven't heard if they survived. Looking at the final seconds of the aircraft, I'm really surprised anyone survived.

This article suggests a reason why the homo family formed species far quicker than other large vertebrates. I need to think about this one a bit but it may prove the old quote I keep repeating, 'technology changes the rules'. https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/reverse-human-evolution/

After 30 minutes as an 'independent researcher' I think this is a pretty good story. In fact, it's such a good story with some pretty good back up evidence that I wonder if there is a gradual release of information. The main players- ?LBJ V CIA David Atlee Phillips - Controller for Oswald who...

Thanks for posting. It's a good story, he is very convincing and it's got the ring of truth. BUT Prisoners can be very, very convincing story tellers. Do you know if any of his story has been confirmed, even simple things such as his war service or other information that's credible.

Nah. Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude. (IIRC then repeat about 10 zillion times)

Back to the Strix! First flight, albeit a little one. I thought it 'transformed' with the motors/wings changing orientation between VTOL and normal flight, but it doesn't look like it does. I'm confused how it changes its flight profile form one to the other.

In my experience, psychiatrists and madness often go together. I used to work with this bloke, he was part of a psychiatric crisis team. https://www.theage.com.au/national/psychiatrist-case-totally-bizarre-20070206-ge45ur.html

Full size skeleton reconstruction of a Thylacoleo carnifex skeleton has been completed by Flinders University Palaeontology researchers, led by Professor Rod Wells (pictured above, the Prof is the one on the left)...

This one caught my eye because it is similar to an event I witnessed in 1974 as a teenager. I've recounted it before somewhere in this forum, but for convivence sake I'll repeat it. My friend and I were walking through Mill st park in Aspendale when we saw two big bright lights, one form the...

"Stress reaction" didn't really exist before MRI, much like bone bruising, you just didn't see them on plain X ray.

According to this investigative report by the ABC about mullets in the AFL, we came second (30%) to the doggies (33%), not a bad achievement, but we can do better. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-23/afl-mullet-count-data-analysis/103850072 It's clear where our list priorities must be, more...

A few more twists in the tale of the monster, Dominique Pelicot. He may have been a murderer as well as being responsible for a number of other rapes. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-21/dominique-pelicot-murder-investigation-gisele-pelicot-rape-trial/104753226

Here are some older anatomical and paleo prints. These have all had significant surface works - jointing compound and acrylic paint. For an outdoor work you can replace the jointing compound with acrylic cement render. First an adult and kiddies hearts These skulls are printed in 3 pieces and...

I couldn't find a 3D printing thread so thought I'd start one. My friend, The Sugarman and I have a couple of 3D printers, a small Up Mini and a large Rostock. We have used them for many years and sadly the results often were poor and unreliable. Very hit and miss. We noticed a big jump in...

Cosmologists have been forced to 'make stuff up' to explain a number of inconsistencies between their observations and theories. Dark matter and dark energy are the 2 most notable. I have discussed my dislike of dark matter in previous posts and I am a little hopeful the physicists may have...

I'm glad you have a skerrick of decency to acknowledge the barbaric nature of Putins invasion. BUT. No one made him do it. His choice. His decision. His responsibility. WRT the Russian soul, I can only recount my own experience teaching Russian docs. I have looked after foreign graduates from...

More stupid sh*t. Poor Mr P. All NATO's fault, they made me do it. It's always someone's else's fault, never take responsibility for their own actions. In the 1990's I worked a lot getting foreign doctors up to Oz standard, including many Russians. I never worked with a group of doctors who were...

What does that mean? More meaningless dribble. I have a strong scientific compass, if you care to look at the science board. I'm probably the biggest poster. Russian Imperialism gets it's own page in Wikipedia and many of those actions described have been taken by the Soviets and Putin. You...

How can anyone understand the nonsense you sprout. Russia is an imperial power and has been for hundreds of years and yet you deny it. It is a textbook definition of an imperial power.

No surprise. Gets away with it because large parts of the media are Lib fan bois. These guys got away with the Sports Rorts, Robodebt, the minister for the multiverse, climate change denial and all the sexual misconduct episodes in parliament house. If Labour had been invoved in anything like...

Not me sport, I wanted the Wiz from the start. There were a few of us.

There was a cracker of a graphic in the comments.

Horrific, utterly horrific at every level. I guess the perpetrators will face robodebt levels of accountability. I expect the NSW government to settle out of court as it's indefensible. Added - there is more than a little irony in NSW refusing UN prison inspections, especially when the ex...

Did he really say that? That's bizarre. Trumps got more documented lies than even Lavrov. Truth clearly doesn't matter, believe fantasies. Guns make you safer, America has the best health care system, climate change is a hoax, vaccines are killers, HCQ works for covid, Trump is a good leader...
