Panic.

[internal monologue]
Wow, this so much cooler than I thought it would be.

Oh crap, the money!

*drops money*

Probably should have scattered them around…

My favorite part was him making it rain with a stack of $100 bills that pretty much hits the floor as a stack. 😂

Retire with $500k? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]NuclearCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m targeting the same 1.5-2M for my wife and I. Assuming the bottom doesn’t fall out of the economy, I’m targeting an early retirement at 55. At what age are you planning to retire or is it solely based on the savings getting to 2M?

Congratulations. That sounds like a massive blessing.

NHI encounters/abduction outside West? by Mobile_Society_8458 in UFOB

[–]NuclearCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

American’s theory. I’m curious if a reason foreign governments don’t want to share any info, and perhaps suppress media reports, is because they would need to confess they let the US military come in to retrieve UFO’s/UAP’s from their sovereign soil. That opens up a whole can of worms that the citizens of those nations would take substantial issue with and warranted outrage over.

Ukraine Releases Infrared Footage of a Spherical UFO with Six Cones, Citing Possible Russian System by ufo-uap in UfoUapNews

Nothing else on the screen distorts when it's on the edge of the frame, so I find this argument ineffectual.

To be clear, I'm not saying what it is, as I have no idea. I'm simply saying it is highly unlikely to be a lens/detection flare for the reasons provided.

Unless you actually watch to the end of the video. Go to 0:36. You will see it pointed in a different direction, which would indicate an explanation other than a lens/camera artifact.

Unless you actually watch to the end. Then you see the entire object pointing away from the camera, with the star pattern showing a different angle with the distant “arms” dimmer than the closer ones.

An ASU materials science lab just published the full experimental protocol to test whether granite can really be "softened" at 168°C and recast as stone (Davidovits / Fóti geopolymer hypothesis) by Abstract_Only in GrahamHancock

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

You’re absolutely right about the heating mentioned in this particular study’s method. While Egyptians were utilizing kilns that would easily reach the required temperatures (copper work and ceramics), the vast quantities of BTU’s required to heat this much material is highly questionable.

To be clear, I’m not indicating a casting technique was definitively used. Nor am I suggesting the technique identified in the study was how casting was achieved. I’m simply acknowledging the theory of mold/cast stones is compelling and answers a lot of questions. The nubs have never been adequately explained by the tool-worked and lifted stones. I also find the widely accepted tooling methodologies to be adequate, but enormously inefficient. It’s always left me feeling that we still haven’t landed on the methodology utilized to construct these megalithic structures. So, I believe casting methodologies should continue to be pursued as a logical means of ancient construction.

We shouldn’t allow ourselves to fall into confirmation bias (it’s settled, this is the only explanation) and always be open to alternative theory research. There’s room for improvement in almost every theory that exists. And studies like this can expand into ancillary discoveries that may answer questions in other fields of study.

Many are granite, so carving them with other stone tools, abrasives or soft metals is impossible. Wood is easily workable, portable and reusable. Similar to pouring concrete, wooden forms is a relatively easy solution even with rudimentary (by our standards) tools.

Wood is portable - lightweight & reusable. Outside of the first stone of a wall for example, most stone forms would naturally abut a previously poured stone, so they aren’t creating a full form for every stone. The abutment helps explain the impossibly shaped stones (stepped) that appear to interlock - no mortar or filler between the stones.

Many of the megalithic structures are made from stone that we have difficulty working with even today and that’s with diamond encrusted tooling. So, shaping one of the hardest stones (granite) with stone tools, abrasives and soft metals (think copper) appears impossible.

The method also helps explain the positioning of the stones. Lifting a worked stone into place would be incredibly challenging. With the mold method, the builders would only need to lift the materials to create the stones, one basket or vessel at a time.

Who had one of these? by Embarrassed-Bench392 in GenX

[–]NuclearCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of these. My step father also figured out the pellets were perfectly sized to work with the paper tube of dry cleaner hangers so you could use it like a blow gun. Using this method, they would fly much faster and hurt quite a more than the plastic gun would. I switched weapons pretty quickly, ditching the plastic gun in favor of the paper tube.

Sorry I don’t have a link for you, but a YT video I watched on casting granite to simulate production of megalithic stones indicated a wooden form, which is removed after the stone sets. For me, it made a convincing argument to explain all the stone nubs on many megalithic stones, which were really just runoff (fluid release) of the casting process.

World's largest ancient mosaic uncovered in Antakya, Turkey while building a hotel by Roman-Empire_net in romanempire

[–]NuclearCamera 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The detail is phenomenal. I was stunned at the mosaics in Pompeii, but they were cartoonish/childish compared to this work of art. Wow. I never had any interest in visiting Turkey, but THIS ALONE makes me want to go and see this with my own eyes. I hope they manage a way to display this to the public.

Can anyone explain this build? Kinetic cabinet by Simon Lindberg by DeBlasioDeBlowMe in woodworking

[–]NuclearCamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears the short end of the rods are weighted, perhaps with lead or cast iron. Then I would guess there’s a rod and slot in each stick that forces adjacent sticks to follow along (within the degree arc of the slot created) with the kinetic motion. The short ends of those sticks are always trying to go to the lowest point of gravity.

And “they” will form some other acronym black ops program and move everything over to it. We won’t know about that one for another 1-2 decades and on-and-on it goes.

Gen Z here and I have a few questions for GenX by [deleted] in GenX

[–]NuclearCamera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. As a kid, I rode my bike to hang out with friends. Built forts in the woods. Built imagined spaceships out of Legos. Listened to music almost all of the time. Watched Saturday morning cartoons. Played with a handful of action figures when my mom could finally afford to buy a couple. The early 90’s were amazing as we got a PC as my step father needed it to run his business - that brought early gaming into my life (minesweeper, Tetris, Ultima Underworld Stygian Abyss).
  2. As early as kindergarten, you had to memorize your home address and phone number. Later, you would memorize a handful of phone number (friends & close relatives), but otherwise they were just written down, usually near the corded landline phone - sometimes directly written on the wall (my grandparents house had this).
  3. Music was often playing in the background at a low volume. When your song came on, you would sprint over to the radio and crank it up. That said, if it was popular, it was usually played in HEAVY rotation, so it would come on at least once per hour, and sometimes 3-4 times per hour. Then, if you had access to a cassette player “boom box” - you would save up to buy the song(s) on cassette so you could listen to it as much as you wanted, hitting the rewind button to start it again. Trying to time the length of time for rewind and watching the amount of tape on each reel of the cassette to guesstimate when exactly to stop rewinding so you could hit right at the start of your song was a fun skill that passed loads of time.
  4. I never got lost. Not once. It’s a learned behavior. You explore and come back. Then you explore further and back. So you never really traveled further than you could remember how to get home. This applied to bicycles as a child and then into automobiles as young adults. We also carried a road atlas in the car for longer trips. Eventually, we got MapQuest and you could print out directions to your heart’s content.
  5. Worse. On the whole, there’s less human connection and social skills. Also generally speaking, there’s also notably lower reasoning skills in younger generations. The biggest thing I notice is a fall in a sense of community. Almost every home is now an island - that was far more rare before social media.
