    It's not that I disagree with you. It's that you lack honest intention. You continually go off discussion and we're just talking past each other. You realize as soon as Montoya reads this, he's going to close it down because you deliberately made it into a liberal rant. I don't appreciate it...

    For a long time I've mused over how to man a Polaris. It's the smallest ship to really demand my attention. The bigger ships seem too much for now. Putting a Polaris in the field seems needs close to 30 characters. First you need 5 bridge crew. You need 1 or 2 players to man the hangar and...

    It's not a good conversation. You think you're winning points in some contest when you constantly redirect to irrelevant issues. I'm unimpressed. I'm a philosopher by training. When I see a logical fallacy here or there I ignore it. When I see pages of distraction techniques I see someone...

    I'm sorry but it seem obvious we cannot have an intelligent and honest conversation on this topic. You are not able. Your politics bias every bit of evidence and you can't see straight. I think we need to end here. None of what you wrote is worthy of response except to say YOU ARE OUT OF...

    No. I'm not taking a position on the science at all. I'm saying what Paul Rand said is obviously, objectively true. Fauci claimed before Congress that there was no evidence the virus came from the Wuhan Coronavirus Lab when there was, and that his advisors said it was not engineered, at a time...

    No. Plasma is electrically charged matter, and matter is constrained to always move below the speed of light. As it approaches light speed the energy needed to increase the speed asymptotically goes to infinity.

    If you know any computing wizards, you might construct a PS3 cluster. https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html in 2010, Sony disabled the ability of these machines to be clustered using other operating systems, but there appears a workaround...

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    Have you had the HH out with 6 turret gunners? It ought to be amazing with a good crew.

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    Lots of positive response to the new combat system online. People are totally digging it and turrets have come into their own. I'm still frustrated it looks like we'll never see 3-5km range on standard guns again. OTOH, missiles seem to be working better. Just seems a shame an S5 laser...

    Space combat: Where does it end...

    High power laser weapons have a beam divergence measured in thousanths of a radian, or mRad; however real world figures are usually classified. Point is the beams always diverge at some angle and so eventually become less useful. DoD is not going to tell us what the state of the art is here...

    If you don't believe DoJ is compromised, you have obviously never read the Nunes Memo nor understood it. 17 separate lies fabricated by the FBI and handed to the FISA courts with the express purpose to decieve the court and spy on a presidential campaign for their opponents--certainly the...

    I think you missed my point. We don't know what happened in Andersen's research afterward. We're not virologists. We're not in a position to accept or deny Andersen's about face. Maybe it is legit and maybe it is merely political. What we do know is that before Andersen reversed course...

    My guess is, as compromised as the DoJ is, it will come to nothing.

    I only looked up the article I posted to provide a source. That is incontestable. Fact is, the actual grants that sent the money overseas list the research as "gain of function". The scientific papers published call the work gain of function. If you watch the CSPAN interview with Fauci...

    I agree with that in general, but with a few provisos. We don't know how many people have immunity because we don't have a good idea how many have had the disease. 50% have been immunized, but they can still carry and transmit covid in any variant. Those who have had the disease can carry and...

    I'm not saying anything about this. I'm referring to last week's CDC recommendation that 330 million people go back to wearing masks because 5 people were hospitalized. That is not good science. Bear in mind that CDC officials don't get in trouble for all the depression and suicide these...

    I am not sure about the distinction you're offering. You're not suggesting it would be okay to tell 330 million people to go back to wearing masks because a few people had a fever? My point is we can no longer trust CDC. Fauci has been lying from the start. We now know he was told at the end...

    I agree. In fact I think much of the world has done better than CDC. The trouble is that CDC is political when it should be exclusively scientific. They make pronouncements without suitable scientific analysis in support on virtually every occasion. The result of Fauci lying repeatedly to...
