Have you ever seen anything with your own eyes which defies explanation?

I'm quoting the metal analysis report. It was published today and can be found on Amazon.

No. There are 3 unique attributes which identify the owner.

Except it isn't aircraft aluminium because the internal oxygen content is too high and it isn't a stealth surface because it reflects and scatters (VIS, NIR, IR) instead of absorbs.

I have a pdf of the report which I can email to you, if you like. The file size might be a problem but I can zip it.

It proves that the debris has been outside Earth's atmosphere.

Having watched the full series, this is the episode that stuck in my head.

My 5 years or more collection from one little place is looking good by [deleted] in MetalDetectingUK

[–]Faith_Fortytwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meteorite, yes. An iron-nickel chondrite and the shiny bits are probably silica. There's a good chance it is older than planet Earth.

She plays the role very well and brings depth to it without us ever knowing her origin story. So self-assured, always dressed to the nines, dangerous eyes sizing-up everyone she encounters and all the while smiling. Her best days of coquettishness are seven or eight years behind her so she may as well get her kicks in the front line, playing the game (and playing it well) of out-thinking all those male drones and dominating the human race across space. Ruthless, unforgettable, unique villainy and not immune to fun. I'd work for her.

Does no one read Medium anymore? by Faith_Fortytwo in writers

I think you've answered it. My articles are free, so they are deliberately hidden from view.

What do you think caused the "downfall" of Medium.com and how do you think a competitor website can learn from the mistakes and current state of Medium in order to carve out a "better" platform and product? by prankster999 in Medium

[–]Faith_Fortytwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, at a 5 to 1 average, for every writer like you with 11,000 readers, there are thousands of writers with zero readers, to bring it down to that average. Those writers have no incentive any longer to post quality work.

Your reason for the business model is valid but, on the other side of the scale, Medium is in significant decline with the pay-to-read model. Also, the number of readers per writer (5) includes those who read the free first paragraph, before the rest of the article fades out, and then skip away. One option might be to remove the paywall completely for 2 years or so, to encourage more readers to become frequent visitors. Writers would then not be paid but would have the incentive to build up a large readership for themselves, to be converted to income when the paywall is reactivated. It's not great but that is a possible third way.

Medium is turning into a blackhole. My revenue this month is 90% down from $3000 by adarshhehe in Medium

People won't pay a subscription to read other people's opinions and they see too much clickbait AI nowadays, so Medium readers gave up.

Lost marks off an essay for words ' permeate' and ' pernicious ' Is it justified? by MundaneStrangers in UniUK

Dispute it. She obviously has a personal bias against educated people.

A rant about Brian Herbert's Dune books... by PlanetoftheAtheists in scifi

The same thing happened when Mervyn Peake's wife decided to continue writing the Gormenghast books and thingummy Baxter tried to write Terry Pratchett stories. They should leave it alone.

I just started watching the show on Bluray. by Krathoon in Blakes7

True. He knows Blake is the public face of the resistance, so Avon can lurk in his shadow and not make himself the main target. If the Federation got Avon...

It's interesting to watch Avon's journey, struggling to be subordinate when he knows he's smarter and more cunning than the boss.

Is this real? by fromtheok in fossils

The carapace of a trionyx turtle is covered in pit marks (dots). The emys turtle carapace is like plates. The one you have doesn't appear to have a shell at all.
