GPS is GROUND Positioning System

But how do they see you?

Is the ground magical?

towers

Have you ever experienced radio signal loss?

why all the towers?

🤦

if satellites orbit a spherical earth, why all the towers?

the satellites for GPS move so fast their clocks slow down enough that the position get bad by about 4 inches a day right?

@Pretentieux signal strength

that's the string of lies they would have you believe, yes

Because your phone doesn't have a strong enough antenna to SEND A READABLE SIGNAL INTO LOW EARTH ORBIT

to transmit to space with all the interference requires powerful signals

Jesus Christ

Can't help us anymore

the iridium satellite network phones are still huge bricks

lol you are upset because i don't believe in your space fairy tales

*space fairytales*

I've seen a satellite in a telescope once

The positional drift on a non skew-corrected gps signal would be off by roughly 10km in a day's time.

You can literally watch Sputnik with the naked eye on a clear night.

@Smartyrdom thank you was trying to recall from memory years ago

Firstly, my friend

That's not what a satellite looks like.

I was once told some satellites use pulsars to locate themselves?

That's a cartoonist impression of a satellite

+20 hoax points

Right off the bat

looks like atmosphere/weather thing

^

If I were to venture a guess, atmospheric monitoring equipment

But no, this is all part of the Big Globe conspiracy.

I had to look the numbers up. I'm actually curious now about maintaining the power requirements on a Rubidium oscillator for the timing, the microprocessing to correct for GR, and the signal RX/TX

GPS doesn't receive many signals they mainly transmit location and time

Yeah, it looks like an atmospheric monitor to me too.

The issue with Flat Earth conspiracies is that you've set yourselves up with a religious sort of infallibility

Every counterexample is proof of the conspiracy.

but it works both ways

how long would flights to Australia be on a flat earth?

every example you have proves my point

Instead of God's Plan it's "The government is lying"

***that's why you're wrong***

lol no amount of cute text will make it any different

You've violated every principle of objectivism

just because you happen to be surrounded by people in your life who also believe the same lies as you does not mean that you are correct

It's a closed system. Everything outside the system is just evidence to support it.

I'm blanking on the formal term at the moment.

You're right! That's a very strong argument agasint Flat Earth conspiracies

this is going nowhere but I'm enjoying every second of it

@Pretentieux pot-kettle-black

Dass raciss

@Dawlben what do you know?

The people who believe in them are surrounded by the same dogmatic nonsense

you know who i am and who i know?

@Pretentieux just because you happen to be surrounded by people in your life who also believe the same lies as you does not mean that you are correct

but that is wrong!

nobody believes me!

so you can't do that!

HA!

You just linked to a half dozen YouTube videos filled with ridiculous nonsense

pot-kettle-black = that is the pot calling the kettle black

bet you thought you were clever

no it isn't

Uhuh.

this is you letting on that you are an idiot

Whatever helps you sleep pal

i was talking to dawl

If the whole "I'm the only one who's right!" shtick helps, keep it up I guess.

who found the need to call me out and thought itself clever

Closed ontology, doi.

∫x^2 dx

can you solve that @Pretentieux ?

and yes I know I'm an idiot

Nah man, math is just government lies.

but I'm also a genius

Can trust it.

Government lies are math man.

They teach it in public schools

lol

I learned calc properly from Spivak, like a good goy..I mean boy.

one bit of philosophy I will always stand by
"Because everyone is unique, we are all similar."

I learned trigonometry in the reeducation chamber personally

And then baby Rudin for more in-depth Real Analysis.

trig ouch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxqhU6nEy6c

I learned trig with calc don't force me to remember

At least it wasn't learning something like algebraic topology in the gulag.

matrices were a bit hard too

Firstly, all of those individuals have different facial structures to the crew

Or working through Jackson's electrodynamics solo.

Now I'm having PTSD

But of course, the government just covered it up with plastic surgery

lol math will do that to you

Because that's what the government has time to do

y'all from the US?

I'm a math-whore myself. It's just the problems in Jackson are rough.

Yup

Yeah.

Hey, national survey

Grew up in the same town where Mike Pence is from.

You're shitting me?!

That's wild

first year in bay area Cal then lived in Northern Va

I went to high school with two of his nieces. Their only redeeming qualities were attached to their chests.

they had something there?

Massive.

Nice

>.>

And when you're 15 trying to go through AP Chem with those in the classroom was just rough.

*pics or it didn't happen amirite*

Ha, that was a good while ago.

But one of them was or maybe still is a local news anchor.

http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/nicole-pence-niece-of-vp-mike-pence-leaving-tv-news/186898

that one?

Yeah she was one of them

Oy vey time has been unkind

someone doesn't know how to do makeup on her 😱

But being an outspoken troublemaking atheist was just as difficult as one would expect.

that pic scared people away

atheist, Buddhist, whatever, I don't care so long as you're a kind person who tries to do right 🤷

Welp, so much for me then.

Amen to that

I honestly couldn't give half a shit about someone's beliefs so long as they're a decent person

If I wanted to be pedantic I could go on at great length about moral anti-realism, but that's a long and pointless train.

@Smartyrdom I didn't say nice I said kind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q

Ok, that's amazing.

Oh yeah

Someone posted about that in another server

Cool af

A really cool and impractical extension of the player piano or Jacquard loom.

The maker of that one is trying to build one that he take apart and put back together so it can go on the road

I'm curious how sensitive it is to temperature with metal balls.

prolly not if you look at the way the sit

moisture would be more of an issue

Yeah moisture/humidity warping the wood would wreck it.

part of the reason for the ply wood rather that solid pieces

rube goldberg style stuff can be quite interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Noqms4AhTJA

This is pretty neat to me.

prolly belongs in shitposting

It's a restored USAF training film, is that shitposting?

it's not news or fake news

Fair enough.

Frankly, the last convo probably belonged in shitposting

shitposting is for everything else really.
plus you can actually preview media there

Oh shit

Noice

@Timcast doesn't seem to respond to emails with story tips

any better way of reaching him?

that won't result in a restraining order?

lol yes

Maybe he's doing something like sleeping or working on something else?

i mean, it's perfectly possible that I'm just interested in something retarded taht nobody else will care about

or that he can't understand spergy emails with a shitload of links

I generally give at least a few hours for a response to an email.

it's been 2 days

Ah, well then I don't know.

well, since he doesn't seem interested, I'll just post it here. https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/2018/04/27/san-francisco-public-library-hosts-transgender-art-exhibit-featuring-weapons-intended-to-kill-feminists

long story short, the San Fran Public library has an art exhibit featuring the "degenderettes"

including tons of weapons

"bloodstained" shirts with stuff like "I punch TERFS"

TERFs and other feminists are pissed, mostly because it glorifies violence by men against women

Ha nitpicky point, most violence against lesbians is committed by lesbians, contra article.

and are reviewbombing the library on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sfpl.org/reviews/?ref=page_internal

But interesting story I'm peeking at anyway.

nonstop arguing for several days in those facebook comments, many complaints of 1A violation censorship (since public libraries are gov.)

the library has double posted this in response: https://twitter.com/SFPublicLibrary/status/989219339306811392 but have not otherwise made comment

people are contacting the mayor and other gov officials, but there is no other public response

Also, many of the degenderettes were involved in antifa and the "Battle of Berkeley", lots of screenshots of the same shields, weapons, people, and props.

The shirt has been taken down in response to the complaints, but the weapons have stayed.

Seems like it's still playing out too.

the most notable development since my original email to Tim and Emily was that THE GUARDIAN mentioned it in an incel article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/29/violent-misogyny-not-confined-to-internet-incels

It's relevant for multiple reasons as I see.

I thought so. Almost no mainstream reporting too, so far

Does anyone know how the "exhibition" was funded? Or if, I guess. There's a case that given limited public space in a library for exhibitions that allowing it is in fact a form of promotion or endorsement, I suppose, if they were given the space without paying.

If they rented it or such, then that argument is irrelevant,though

Oh, funded by "Friends of the SFPL"

seems like questions for a reporter to find out

or that

lol

So, they're an external private funding source, that paid for the exhibition. Taking it down (partly) is probably a 1A issue.

Maybe some wiggliness about calling for direct violence to neutralize the 1A issues?

my suspicion is that mass flagging triggers facebook to take out the comments. it's not the admins of the library doing it

I mean taking down part of the exhibition, one of the "bloody" shirts was removed but the rest of the exhibition is apparently still there.

oh

OH

1A double fucked

interesting

Having trouble finding objective information on it though.

https://www.facebook.com/degenderettes/ they have their own post on it as well.

zhey have zheir?

forgot about that

not much drama there that I've seen

Right. Isolated community,rather than the publicly funded institution, so that makes sense.

was just finishing up watching the Timcast from tonight....I think that there is definitely a difference between Left and Liberals...just my 2 cents

Left is near opposite to 'liberal values'

yeah the left now isn't liberal but still attempt to cloak themselves using the liberal label which is why people have been using centerist and other labels

Classical liberal is pretty much current conservatism

Liberalist

The pool's getting dirty.

kind of quiet in here

new Kanye West interview

whooping 105 minutes

Itypically call them progressives, although I don't like giving the label of "progress", sicne it seems to mean something good

all i can think of is 1984

the ministry of truth, the ones who put out propaganda

it's a bit more complicated nowadays though

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/01/us/oregon-deer-arrow-reward-trnd/index.html

you Americans are messed up, lol

someone doesn't know how to bow hunt

Joe Rogan

he's talking about deer hunting all the time on his podcast

either that, or the deers are major trolls and keep moving at the exact wrong time so that they take an arrow in a non-lethal spot, then run away before they can be killed

i mean, at least the 2 in that picture look like shots that just missed their targeted vital, then the deer probably took off before they could be killed

yeah

and there's only 2 of them

there is 3

or at least, there is rumors of a 3rd i believe

You really need to know what you're doing to use a bow when hunting. I did archery in college and I don't feel confident enough to hunt with a bow. Then again, we used recurve and not compound bows

I dislike compound bows. Much prefer recurve.

I haven't shot compound, but I did enjoy recurve, it meditative to go shooting

it is. same with going to the range. At least with a long rifle for me anyway

bows are more fun in that they are not nearly as loud

such a professional title

More stuff about the degenderettes at San Fran Public Library: http://www.feministcurrent.com/2018/05/01/trans-activism-become-centered-justifying-violence-women-time-allies-speak/ https://www.change.org/p/tell-san-francisco-public-library-to-remove-exhibit-of-weapons-intended-to-kill-feminists

"Similarly, the notion that a man offering a women financial compensation in exchange for permission to abuse her is framed time and time again as 'consent,'"

oh boy, isn't this author a ray of sunshine.

"The threats of violence against women, on account of having been branded “TERFs,” are frightening not only because we must fear for our physical safety or because of the way these threats act as a silencing mechanism, but because this violence is not being condemned, by and large, by most."

and now they know what is like to be labelled a nazi when "punch a nazi" is okay

Im curious as to what happened where Joe burned me twice and why he has tons of people in the same realm on his show

Tim, any thoughts on that San Fran Public Library stuff?

dont know about it

good thing your loyal listeners spam you with emails 😛 detailing the story

Is there any group out there that doesn't have someone saying they'll fuck them up nowadays?

Violence. Because words are hard.

I thought Lauren Southern was banned from England

She is

She managed to transfer flights, pettibone got detained again doing the same thing, although she had to leave the customs area I think

I heard she was only denied entry that time

was she banned? or just kicked out?

Banned for life

Isn't she supposed to be speaking in the UK in 4 days, though?

Are they going to be using skype?

Black magic

No wait, that's cultural appropriation. White magic then

which culture are people appropriating when they practice black magic though? 😄

Who cares, white magic has privilege, just use that and get ahead without trying

magic of colour is way more intriguing though
