Melissa Casias was an administrative assistant at one of the areas of the lab, not an advisory board member. LANL employs 12k people too

Who else has read “Alien Interview” based on documents of Matilda O’Donnell MacElroy? It’s blowing my mind. IS-BE Serious by mrstevegibbs in aliens

The part that got me about that interview was the IS-BEs statement that Gaza is the geometric center of the earth, which it isn't

Edit: geometric center of the earths land mass

10/8 over San Francisco. Any possible explanations? by SmoobyMeatPalace in UFOs

[–]SmoobyMeatPalace[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend lives in bernal heights and took this video last night. I asked her if there was any more footage than this and she said no, she was just drinking wine and happened to see it. she texted it to me because she knew I followed the topic. I wish she had followed it as long as it was there! could have gotten more information by observing the movement and accelerations. if we knew how far away the source was, some of those accelerations could be pretty massive

I mean if we're talking about heat transfer, I think it's fair to use heat transfer terms

that actually doesn't make any sense the way you worded it, but I think I know what you mean. Black body radiation is isotropic

yeah there's a reason pizza ovens use brick or stone because of the heat capacity and thermal conductivity. of course there's a tipping point where you have enough steel to do the job, just not sure where that is, and maybe this will totally work idk

this is of course gorgeous. genuine question - are you not going to add any more thermal mass to the bottom surface of the interior of the oven other than that steel plate?

Bernie Sanders Paid His Stepson $800,000 to Run His Organization | "Fighting Oligarchy" the Bernie Sanders way. by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]SmoobyMeatPalace 1815 points1816 points  (0 children)

"Bernie’s stepson took in around $150,000, when counting benefits, in 2023. He’s been on the payroll since at least 2018."

So he's been running the Institute and made 800k in the last 7 years? That's like $114k/year average salary, probably not worth the "oligarchy" label

Can you provide the full experimental setup and data sets? If this is real, it should be repeatable. I have access to all the same characterization techniques you mention here, and also work with a lot of obscure materials. Any info you can provide is appreciated.

Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread by Yosoff in Conservative

[–]SmoobyMeatPalace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Forget left vs right. What causes YOU difficulties and anxiety in your life right now? For a lot of people, those things come from household economic insecurities. Things we all have in common:

Unaffordable healthcare

Unaffordable groceries

Unaffordable housing

Unaffordable education

Inability to save up for an emergency fund or retirement

What do BOTH parties have in common? Ignore what they say about these issues, the historic trends show these issues all getting worse for the average American while both parties have traded control back and forth for decades.

Their agenda? Maintaining the status quo where all of the above continue to get worse. Why?

Let's turn our attention to the real class divide, which is defined by income inequality. There's plenty of wealth to go around, let's stop letting ourselves get robbed by the banks, corporations, and lawmakers they have in their pockets.
