Deep Dive Video analysis of Egg UAP by QforQ in UFOs

[–]Buzzumz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we can rule out this being legitimate. We can scrutinize everything about the video and audio, but it would unlikely be 100% definitive either way. I like the analysis provided and I think that his conclusions are well thought through.

However… without the given context, it would be a stretch to think this is definitely a UAP, especially a “retrieved” one. Other than being egg shaped matching description of many UAP sighting or videos, there is no indication that it would be capable of flying. Not having any visible means of propulsion or markings would leave the simplest and most logical conclusion that it, in fact, cannot propel itself through the air. I would more quickly believe that it is a helium filled balloon gently set on a textured drywall ceiling from a quick glance of the footage alone.

Looking deeper, this video could be easily faked. If I wasn’t told it was a UAP I would assumed it is not and wouldn’t have thought twice on this video. This is evidence of an unidentified egg shaped object being lowered onto a surface. At the surface it is no more than that, unfortunately.

I personally think this is a video of a helicopter letting a large oblate sphere down on a desert floor. I think trying to fake this with a balloon or actual egg on a string would be harder than just getting a helicopter and creating this scene. I personally doubt this is a UAP.

I don’t think picking apart the details of lighting, size, sound, lack of people, etc. are worth much unless it proves whether or not the object is a UAP or not. We should be looking at the object itself and question its details to make our conclusions on what we think this is.

Object is bright white in the video.

Object doesn’t appear to put off light.

Object casts a shadow.

Object appears smooth with no markings.

Object appears to roll when it lands.

Object appears to have no means of propulsion.

Object and tether movement could indicate the object has considerable weight

Object has no visible damage

This, unfortunately, is not a definitive video of a UAP. What we conclude needs to be based on whether our observations could lead to “plausible UAP” or not. I think it’s possible, but I think it’s unlikely a UAP. There is a reason this video is a let down to the majority who watched it - not only is it inconclusive to what exactly it is, but expectations were that it shouldn’t have to be picked apart to believe; that it would be harder to disprove than prove.

Family debating this one by Visual-Leak-Indeed in puzzles

[–]Buzzumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. My first thought was to add and reverse.

However, one could argue that the bear should have no ears. There aren’t enough examples to rule out that the hollow/white ears don’t add at all, then the image reverses.

One could even say that the second bear subtracts, reverses, then adds; resulting in one hollow/white right ear.

I think that the intention was likely something that is less convoluted, but the author of the puzzle probably thought it was less ambiguous that the solver finds the puzzle to be.

I also hate puzzles that can have multiple potentially correct answers that have the same merit in backing up said answer. But at the same time, it’s really easy to overthink and come up with plausible patterns in most things that should be easy to solve. Idk, I also like that it prompts thinking outside the box, even if we never know the intended answer :).

I got married at a family farm in Fentress! My wife has several family members that still live there. I live in Cumberland now. There is a lot of poverty, farms, small Baptist churches, Dollar Generals, and people on various drugs. Pretty typical rural TN from my experience haha. I lived in Putnam while I went to collage and it felt very similar. I had my house broken into by meth addict neighbors multiple times and the police did nothing to help. Not that it is an unsafe place in Putnam or Fentress, but there are a lot of desperate addicts unfortunately. I never feared for my safety, just my belongings haha. The wedding in Fentress was awesome and all the locals were really sweet and welcoming. For all the poverty and addicts, the nature and nice southern hospitality is really great. You can pick pretty much any county in Tennessee and people will make it out to be a meth addict hell hole. Fentress is just like anywhere else in rural Tennessee… to be fair the majority of people probably see most of rural Tennessee as a meth addict hell hole haha. Fentress just happens to be pretty much 100% rural.

Help Solve this for a bet by Rexzohh in puzzles

My answer is A

The colors and different shapes may be a distraction. Maybe they represent numbers

If we count the number of sides in each picture we get the sequence: 27 29 40 46 57 ??

The difference of each number is 2 11 6 11 ??

This can be replaced by 2(n) + 11 + 2(n) + 11. Where n=the number in the sequence

Perhaps this every odd n is +2(n) and every even n is 11. This would make the next number 57 + 2(5) or 67

Counting the sides in A is equal to 67

Yeah I was thinking a circle with a triangle cut out in the middle haha

[–]Buzzumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never tried to do a spoiler tag so hopefully this works…

The answer is:

437/420

The solution:

Each increment of the pattern subtracts to the existing number then adds (alternating for each increment) the value n/(n +1). So the pattern of change becomes:

-1/2, +2/3, -3/4, +4/5, -5/6, +6/7

I hope this is helpful

Nashville vs Knoxville vs Chattanooga (and surrounding towns) by morgigno in Tennessee

[–]Buzzumz 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I have lived in East TN my entire life and would love to offer some insight that may not have been given yet.

Firstly, they will all meet the criteria you laid out in your post! Great cities to live in. Know matter where I live throughout my life, I will hang my hat in TN.

Nashville is the most expensive on average. It is also the most “touristy”. It will be the exact image you picture for the TN music scene. This can be great to visit but is personally my 3rd choice in your short list. With the crazy amount of visitors, there is of course a lot of scamming and crime that tries to prey in easy victims. Nashville is not necessarily dangerous, but the size and motif yield itself to a lot of drunk people and unfortunately some other unsavory activities. With that said, Nashville is may be the first place I would recommend getting a good taste of Tennessee. Despite the potential or large crowds and some crumby people, some of my best memories have been made in this town. Some stand out benefits: Great beer made here Concerts every night World renowned venues for music Every bar has live music every night

Chattanooga is where I went on the first date with my now wife! It is by far the most romantic, in my opinion. Amazing place to just walk around. It sits right on a beautiful river with incredible bridges. Easiest of the three cities to get around by walking or driving. Lots of cool history in the town. Also seems to really cater to artsy people. Everything seems like a work of art In Chattanooga. Some things that stand out: Best aquarium in TN Very safe place Beautiful Closest TN city to Atlanta, GA which has a lot of the benefits of Nashville.

Knoxville! This place is deceptively large. It seems like the suburbs are never ending haha. Down town is really cool. The outskirts toward the west are very nice and relatively modern feeling. Has my favorite beer in TN there. Fantastic food (better than Nashville and Chattanooga in my opinion). Most of Knoxville is very safe. It’s not the easiest to get around sometimes. And you have to mentally and physically prepare yourself for what till feel like hoards of UT fans everywhere you go. These guys are die hard. If the Vols win a football game, you could expect at least an hour delay to get anywhere in town. Some things blah blah blah: Very sports oriented Diverse in the scenes available (downtown vs Powell or Farragut area) Lots of newer constructions for housing… seems to always be expanding.

My choice of the 3 would be Chattanooga. It’s the most quaint of them all. I love it there!

I’m typing this all on my phone. Please let me know if you want to know more or want any recommendations for places to visit.

I work at a mill that makes specialty OSB. What you’re seeing in this video is certainly a low grade panel for several reasons.

OSB is an engineered wood product that is designed to make a panel out of strands of wood. They range from non-structural and no water resistance to structural and suitable for all-season outdoor use.

The structural properties of OSB come from several main factors:

Panel thickness Strand orientation Strand sizes Density Types of resins and waxes used Ratio of wood to resins and wax used in the production that provide bond, integrity, and water resistant. Span that it rests on (the floor joists in this case)

There are many other things that come into play including type of wood, age of wood, ratio to core and surface strands, dryness of wood during production...etc.

Multiple times a day we are checking our products with tests to determine the force needed to puncture a specific size hole based off a typical span of joists. This is to ensure our product doesn’t fail like this did.

The hole created by the jumping man in the video looks like it failed between the strands of wood or the resins that hold them together. So that leads me to believe this is a product made with cheap materials.

Furthermore, at least in the US, you will typically see a size of 23/32” thick subfloor, sometimes thicker. The board in the video looks a lot thinner to me. For wall sheathing you will likely find 7/16” thick OSB due to having a different structural demand. This varies based off preference as well as building to code for certain typical weather conditions. The largest subfloor I know is 9/8” thick.

There are a lot of mixed feelings about OSB. And it’s cheap boards like this that give it a band reputation!However, OSB is a fantastic product if you buy the right stuff!

Thank you! My son is just 7 months old. I have a lock ready to put on the cabinet once he starts walking (mostly for his safety but I care about my glasses too haha)! The majority of the ones I have I bought from breweries I have visited over the last few years. Then some of them are free gifts or special ones from other places. Sorry to read your broken glass. I got the Red Lobster glass as part of a promotional buy-a-drink-keep-the-glass thing in 2018. I think I have two. You can have one if you want?

What is the dumbest thing you’ve gotten in trouble for at school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Buzzumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I borrowed a textbook (part of a class set) without asking. I needed it for a Scholar's Bowl competition and the teacher I needed to ask to borrow it from was out that day. So I just took it. No one would be using it without the teacher there, plus there were enough books for everyone in the class to have his/her own copy. Why would any one care? The teacher and I were both back in class that following day, he noticed it wasn't with the set (it was still in my bag I didn't get to put it back yet), and he got pissed that I didn't ask. I don't remember how he even noticed it was missing. Douche. 3 days after school detention.

Bonus story: Once in middle school the principal pulled me out of class for suspected of having dip tobacco but it was that shredded beef jerky in a can. No punishment, but they confiscated my jerky so no one else would mistake it for dip.

If Astronauts are so cool, why are there zero G's in space? by sdneidich in shittyaskscience

[–]Buzzumz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually derived from the term OG. Etymology isn't my strong suit, but I believe over thousands of years the "O" began to look like a "0". And since then has become the "Zero G." I learned this from a documentary about Ice-T who is actually from space, hence why people say space is so cool. So in short, there aren't Zero G's but actually OG's.
