Yes, all true. You could also say that we are able to travel back in our observations as far as the time it takes light to get here from distant locations. I was referring to the sort of time traveler Hawking invited to his famous party.

So where are they?

That’s an if without a reality.  If it were true then where are they?  Flecks on a Navy radar?  Let’s just say I’m not convinced.

Right, so where are they?  It’s like the argument that time travel may be possible.  Fine, so where are the visitors from the future warning us about coming catastrophes, or cashing in on billion $ lotteries?

That wouldn’t overcome the fundamental limit on the speed of light, which both restricts how far our radio signals have traveled in a hundred years so they’d know to even bother with us, or how long it would take them to get here from wherever they are.

Probably not, but if they’ve even detected our existence they’re likely really into social isolation either by choice or the sheer hurdle of the mote of many light years distance.

Pretty much nonsense post. The vast majority of the “common” people are complying with the factual information being provided by medical experts out of fear of catching a potentially fatal disease, and those actions are most definitly saving lives. Fear is a normal human reaction to a perceived threat created by…

The denial was as bad or worse than the original idiocy, just a different form of abject lunacy. I’m not smart enough to realize injecting dinsenfectant is a horrific idea, or that when speaking in public at a press conference about a pandemic that has killed 50,000 of our citizens I need to be careful about what I say…

I’m constantly reminded of Rex Tillerson’s phrase for describing Trumpty Dumpty’s “intelligence”. This episode recalibrates the scale.

Yeah, puzzling. I guess I can only say there’s no accounting for taste. For me close to the least fantastic percussion I can recall.

Yeah, in and out of the freezer is bad. Also best to take the vacuum sealed bag out of the freezer the day before needed to let them reach room temp before breaking the seal. What you really don’t want is condensation on the beans. I keep the beans being used in an airtight jar in the cupboard. 

I totally see why some would think it’s satire, which is why I put the “nuts” comment in. It’s 100% true. Coffee is one of my great pleasures so I try to maximize it, and the effort pays off every day. I’ll offer a couple of suggestions. Don’t know where you’re located but in the US there are numerous roasters who…

I use a Behmor Brazen brewer primarily because it allows adjusting the precise brewing temp in 1 deg increments from 190-210. Mostly I leave it at my preferred temp, but for some beans changing it makes a very big difference. Also, I use a 1/100th gram scale. Not because I measure to 1/100th but because that allows…

I’ve been eating these. Very mild flavor.

So a Dr. has lost his sense of taste and smell.  Pretty sure that’s a symptom...

If not already mentioned in the comments, I saw an article that said those blackout masks the airlines hand out turned upside down can be used over the mouth and nose. I just happened to have one and it definitely fits the bill. The key being the main purpose of the mask is to keep you from blowing out virus laden…

As if. Shut down Trump, Paula White, Jim Bakker, Alex Jones, et al? They’d drink Jim Jones kool-aid first.

What harmful radiation?

What harmful radiation?

I value one person one vote. The EC as currently constructed distorts the infuence of one person’s vote over another. I don’t accept that if most people want to live in cities they should be subject to the will of the minority in our politics. Right now there’s about a 20% chance that a President will be elected by a…
