    Ancient Civilizations

    The magnetic poles shift CONSTANTLY. You can look it up, older plans north arrows occasionally had the angle from true north on it. It can and has shifted anywhere between 15 and 100 kilometers annually. The surprising thing it, it is moving in almost a straight line towards siberia. This is due...

    Ancient Civilizations

    well it depends on what they mean by pole shift...if they mean magnetic pole, then it might cause minor issues if it is that large of a shift in a very short amount of time. a pole shift of ROTATION, ie changing the declination of the planet in relation to the sun, now that would cause major...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I wanna know what is At the intersection of the jets on the patch! (Jk) Jimmy does good videos and asks decent questions that make you ponder. The maps one he did a few months ago was good. Why did maps from the ~15th century have the Sahara green with a lot of cities along rivers. Said rivers...

    Avatar: The Last Airbender

    WELL ang looks age appropriate ~15ish year old range. effects look good for the most part, The Kioshi Warriors look AWESOME almost perfect from the original cartoon. now if they follow the story line from the original- mostly- it will rock, appa and the momo look kinda wonky.

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    It was a good continuation of the ORIGINAL Movies. not that disaster that was the remake ~4 years or so ago. if you liked the original 2 ghostbusters, you'll most likely like this one since it is a direct sequel- a few decades later though. it did good enough in the theatres to greenlight a...

    Ancient Civilizations

    until we find it, it is all conjecture. there are VAST swathes of relatively inaccessible land(mostly due to political theatre or lawlessness) that- if those old old maps are to be believed- had cities there,- the sahara. what if all the statues, the vases etc originated from those areas...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I disagree. with a lathe and an adjustable jig 0.001 is possible on wood metal and stone with today's tech, and tech that is 100+ years old. just need that jig to have adjustments that are minute in adjustment scale.. a screw setup would work relatively easily for the adjustment part. it just...

    Ancient Civilizations

    well if you Think about it, there is the possibility that AROUND 10k years ago or so, there might have been a more advanced civilization that had access to more advanced materials and it was destroyed when the ice age ended (lands got flooded due to rising sea levels etc) the difficulty for...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Supposed to be sucky weather in NJ for the jets pats game. The good news is i bet the game before rogers went down. On my bet I have pats+2.5 instead of -2.5 Burrows and Allen have not looked good yet this season. Neither has Kc. Miami is team to beat in the AFC east I think this year. Unless...

    yeah BARRING injuries. miami- week 1 at least- looks like the team to beat in the afc east. though the defense looked suspect. 5 weeks from now we could all look like idiots, or genius's. i am thinking idiots personally :)

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Good QB though. With him most likely out for the season the pats might win another game or 2. I am cautiously optimistic about having a winning record and blowing it week one in the playoffs...if they make the playoffs.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    The issue the patriots had with running is...2 rookie starters on the line, and that group of 5 apparently hadn't practiced together, the pass blocking was fine for most of the night. the other issue the patriots have- hard to harp on it week 1, for the past ~3 years if a team scores at least...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Thoughts on week one.. Preseason is now too short. Most teams were very very sloppy. improved during the games thogugh. Chiefs NEED kelce to play or they are apparently average. How that guy just gets open all the time confounds me. He is their goto guy, double the fucker all the time. Bengals...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    Zappie's locker is not cleaned out so they do NOT expect him to get picked up by another team off waivers and will be able to get him on the practice squad. now the question is, who is the Backup? right now the Patriots only have 1 QB.

    huge if true and IF you can make a lot of this into "wire" relatively inexpensively. that will be the true challenge...mass production. just because it works "small" scale doesn't mean you get a lot cheaply and can it be done in powerful enough wires to be avail for consumer. right now it is...

    raptor is only 1 exhaust though the one above is 4. raptor 2 is rated at ~230 tons of thrust-~269 max recorded in flight raptor 3 was announced at ~269 tons in testing i think as a "base" 4 of those would be 1076 tons. falcon super heavy according to an elon tweet is 8877 tons.

    YES the afc is ridiculous, BUUUT, LAST year the 2 wild cards had a 10-7 record, patriots -yes the schedule is hard- could make the playoffs with a 10-7 record this year, that is a 2 win gain. a COMPETENT offense last year, the patriots would have made the playoffs-28 pts is all they needed...
