They’re still knocking on doors and slowly getting some to open. Since the last hearings, it seems like a few more whistleblowers have come out as well as more support from officials within to speak on it.

I can kind of understand how this is all behind a ton of red tape and some things can’t be said for national security reasons. But the committee seems to be very interested and dedicated on getting more disclosure and opening up records to the budgets used up for these secret programs.

I will say that everyone testifying assured that they knew UAP and NHI exists, and a few small hints were dropped during this hearing that can help us infer what exactly we might be dealing with. One example is when Rep. Luna was speaking and asked if Mr. Elizondo would agree if they craft “are piloted by some mind-body connection”, to which he said that “…they are being intelligently controlled… in some cases seem to anticipate our maneuvers”, which is super interesting to think about.

(Just my theory here, but maybe some craft exist within a flux of time and space which allows them to react in “bullet time” or phase in and out of time/space while connecting to the observers mind too.)

Also in regards to the report by Shellenberger about Project Immaculate Constellation, reports of the UAPs seem to be followed with things like “shared awareness with the triangle craft.” Excuse me?!

All of this is on record and will hopefully work towards full disclosure about what’s out there, even if they omit how they know or what they’ve learned because of reverse engineering that maybe have occurred.

To be honest, I never considered fusion to be the same thing. But I guess it is. Hmm. Thanks for that insight. I’m going to look into fusions features more.

Swapped to the Affinity suite a few months ago and have been loving it. DaVinci Resolve replaced Premiere. Still having trouble finding a decent After Effects replacement though. I’ve been eyeing Natron but haven’t tried it yet.

The real dystopian nightmare is the one where everyone conforms and acts neutral out of fear. That’s how we really lose who we are and any sense of improving the situation.

That’s a really affordable military.

Just looked them up… holy hell. How does one have so many repos! And all the apps he’s made. What’s the story on them?

Edit: just looked it up myself. Seems to be a well liked person in the open source community. Idk. Regardless, props to them for the work they put in.

Damn. Going from 8 days to almost 8 months must be pretty shitty news for the astronauts. I get that it’s all defined as a test and these things can happen, but it’s not a good look for Boeing at all.

I wonder if the whole brandy bit of info was a hint? They mentioned the cherry seed pits were waterlogged so they’re definitely siting in a lot of liquid. And alcohol would preserve it for a long time I would think.

Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.

This is crazy and scary. I had no idea a system like that existed.

Yeah because it’s that easy right?! Dr tells me I have cancer, I’ll just not accept the diagnosis because it’s unfair. Problem solved, cancer gone!

I used to use the prepaid approach a lot, but recently it seems like some companies are rejecting them. Mainly seeing it happen with subscription based services.

At my last company, we used the scaled TBD. For personal projects I do the same. It’s honestly really nice. Not having to worry about merging issues between a dev branch and main branch was probably the biggest benefit. The code base also felt more accessible to the team. Cherry-picking a particular commit that a teammate worked on that’s been merged but I needed on my feature/bug branch was also painless.

Fun fact. When in danger, Quokka parents drop their little quokka babies from their pouch as a distraction so the parents can get away.

TIL about white noise emitters.

I understand your point. But science has also shown us over time that things we thought were magic were actually things we can figure out. Consciousness is definitely up there in that category of us not fully understanding it. So what might seem like magic now, might be well-understood science later.

Not able to provide links at the moment, but there are also examples on the other side of the argument that lead us to think that maybe consciousness isn’t fully tied to physical components. Sure, the brain might interface with senses, consciousness, and other parts to give us the whole experience as a human. But does all of that equate to consciousness? Is the UI of a system the same thing as the user?

Consciousness might not even be “attached” to the brain. We think with our brains but being conscious could be a separate function or even non-local.

Yeah. Must be a wannabe pizza cult. Real ones would consider that blasphemy.
