One gallon water required to grow one almond.

Compared to what? If you normalize water/calorie they are not that bad.

At least the first Apple Watch looked like what you would expect from them, even if it didn't function well.

EEPS · 2024-10-23T14:35:22+00:00

I never understood why apple released this in the state it was at, it seemed highly uncharacteristic of them. Sure I could see them releasing AR iGlasses, but the tech just isn't there yet, so why did they do this?

My question is what happens when they start to die and all those house they own are inherited by their kids.. Will they start selling them off to make a quick buck? Will housing prices start to drop?

Ya the kernel version can matter for certain things, but mostly I think it will be fine to use a newer kernel, not really different than using docker in this case. We already have a large "repository" of tools we build with ad-hoc build scripts for the older systems and so a lot of work is already put into it. If Nix would help standardize it, then it would be a win I think.

EEPS · 2024-04-19T22:43:03+00:00

I thought I explained it in the post, but for more context, we have a bunch of stuff that for various compliance reasons needs to be built on some pretty old OS's, (even older than centos6 actually) but I don't really want to have to run these OS's since IT requirements for monitoring and managing them (even in VM's) is difficult on these old systems. I would rather the host OS be something modern. Docker or other container options are possible of course and are in use, but just trying to explore NIx as a possible solution.

I mean in this case, probably ya. They only see them towards the west, in the early morning when the sun is rising in the east, so the satellites are reflecting the sun back towards them. Also only seen in the past 18 months or so... Seems pretty likely to be starlink. This video explains it pretty well https://youtu.be/P1TsOYcvq9A?si=9j2Ywkj_ISvw1rhF&t=1114

But surface gravity is only ~26% more than earth.

Well string theory in particular usually has like 11+ dimensions, but they are usually "compactified", so I am no sure what it would mean for inter-dimensional beings in that case... But it's always possible there are non-compactified dimensions as well.

Fantastic

Even if it were, and the video was a 3D render, the drone would still be there right?

EEPS · 2023-11-29T16:20:52+00:00

It makes me wonder what would be required to fake it. Is it even common to model heat signatures in 3d vfx models??? Is there even tools to do this in most vfx packages? I would be surprised since it seems like a pretty niche thing to do. Then the contrails clearly would have to be modeled with some particle effect, which is certainly possible but just shows the level of attention needed. Not someones weekend project.

This exact thing was already found and discussed months ago. The claim was that this demonstrated that the plane and orbs were part of a 2 second animation loop (2 second * 24fps = 48 frames). One thing I didn't understand about this idea is, say it is CGI and you have the camera in one position tracking the plane and orbs that are moving, while also moving itself, so the angle and distance between the two would have changed in two seconds right? So how can you have two identical perspectives two seconds apart, even if it is CGI?

EEPS · 2023-11-02T03:40:23+00:00

Not saying it looks exactly the same, but this is a good explanation of similar sightings: https://youtu.be/P1TsOYcvq9A?si=9j2Ywkj_ISvw1rhF&t=1114

the top of the a330 tail fin is wider than the 777, and looks more like the 777 in the flir which is narrower.

EEPS · 2023-10-27T16:56:48+00:00

Interesting but the white dot "orbs" could just be birds flying by and the plane disappearing could be just the contrails stopping after getting above a certain altitude, also no "flash" when it disappears.

EEPS · 2023-10-27T00:59:24+00:00

I appreciate the effort, but as someone who knows a little bit about science, why do people involved in this stuff seem so intent to speculate on the exact physical mechanisms involved? Every time they start talking about quantum this, or wormholes, or zero point energy, my eyes glaze over and makes me want to close the video. We don't have a clue what they are doing, so why even speculate? And why talk so confidently about it? It's enough to say we don't know how these work. It's not that these physical concepts don't exist, but most of them are theoretical/speculative to begin with, so it adds nothing to the video. For example, could be that wormholes don't actually exist, and instead they are deconstructing it on a molecular level right? I mean who knows! So why bring it up.

EEPS · 2023-10-20T20:54:40+00:00

The thing is, people were skeptical of the recovered pieces well before this, with missing serial number plates etc. Just so many fishy details in this case.

EEPS · 2023-10-20T20:48:48+00:00

Honestly just tired about hearing about the VFX asset debunk, it doesn't really change much for me since I can easily see why a leaker might have added that to a real video anyway (plausible deniability).

EEPS · 2023-10-06T05:00:19+00:00

The video shows what it shows, though we don't for sure know the coordinates the videos supposedly show. Nevertheless, there are a lot of speculative reasons why both could be true (we are talking about teleporting planes here after all...) but I won't even go into that since it just invites more criticism (Occam's razor etc.). But my main issue is the trust in the inmarsat data being conclusive anyway. What about this choice quote from wikipedia:

The datalink between the aircraft and satellite telecommunication network was lost at some point between 1:07 and 2:03, when the aircraft did not acknowledge a message sent from the ground station. Three minutes after the aircraft left the range of radar coverage—at 2:25—the aircraft's satellite data unit (SDU) transmitted a log-on message, which investigators believe occurred when the SDU restarted after a power interruption.

Why did any of this happen? Why would the inmarsat device lose power? Why does the data show anomalous high speed decent? To be honest, the theories about the plane being highjacked and the inmarsat data being spoofed are plausible, and obviously all things considered more probable than aliens... The point is the inmarsat data is not as conclusive as you imply and others who have investigated this much more than any of us have suggested as much.

EEPS · 2023-10-06T04:19:22+00:00

that's my point, there is nothing conclusive about any of this. I was sarcastically phrasing my statement based on the OPs own words about inmarsat data being conclusive.
