why does a cause need an omnnipotent creator? that just demands more complex questions
who made the creator? where did it come from?

anyways Im pretty sure humans were created by RA and there is a portal under egypt pyramids to another world
he banished humans he didn’t like to our world or something

yea i know the story of contact because physics nobel laureate kip thorne talked about it because kip wrote the original script for interstellar before christopher nolan entered the picture, he didn’t want another “contact” situation

interstellar is such a great film

LOL! I shouldn’t have said, the only “LOGICAL” conclusion. I do believe there must be a cause. I believe someday, we’ll find it. I do NOT believe in spontaneous combustion.

??? Everyone knows those are space ships hovering over Mount Shasta in northern Ca.

I’ll have to ask google where I can watch that! Gotta be on some network on Roku. I take it you didn’t like Contact?

Apparently the sequel is in production now, and set to be released in late '26. The original is on Paramount. Guess what I’m watching this weekend?

Last week scientists discovered there are trace amounts of female hormones in beer. To prove this, they gave 100 men, 12 pints of beer. Soon, they all started talking gibberish and were unable to drive.

@Stankhammer RE the big honey jar with the cap that has a controlled pouring membrane…I was looking around and apparently I saved the cap from my Maple syrup bottle and it fits a liter bottle of VG as well as a gallon jug. Don’t imagine I’ll be using it on the gallon, lol.

have you ever heard of the double slit experiment?
they shot individual photons through 1 slit or both at the same time

the waves interfere with each other when shot through both and you get an interference pattern like ripples in a pond

when they shot 1 photon through 1 slit they got the same pattern
logically this should not be possible. its as if the single photon went through BOTH slits and interfered with itself

there is also quantum tunneling etc. spontaneous combustion dosen’t seem that craZy relatively speaking but i remain agnostic
maybe there is a god but he dosen’t seem to care much about us

I went all out. I got like 5 no trespassing signs, a 4g solar powered security camera, and 2 solar lights. Since the tech has come a long way now, it all wasn’t really too expensive. After hearing the owners voice and talking to her on the phone, it really just compelled me even more. Its just gut wrenching to see what those animals did to that house. It made me even more motivated after talking to her. I always would sit and imagine what it would be like being out on a little getaway with family right on the river. I never felt unwelcome there. Every time I went to visit, I would imagine walking up and seeing the family there. Now it just feels kind of sad and empty. But still with a glimmer of all the good times that they had there in the past. I can only imagine how it feels for her. All the memories.

Even if we don’t find justice, we can at least rest a little easier. May as well try to protect what’s left. I don’t expect anything at all from her. The karmic circle is real. It doesn’t really come back to you from the people you help or do the good deeds for, it manifests from other people and in all kinds of different ways.

When I go back I’m going to pick more up and try to make things look better. I’m gonna focus more on the outside. Since I can’t actually take the broken things out, I can at least try make stuff look a little more neat. I don’t want them to get some kind of fine for all the stuff that got tossed off the deck. The more I do, the more it’s clear there’s a presence, and hopefully the less likely people will try to approach.

I also wanna try taking out the electric hedge trimmers and knocking down some of the brush out front. Before the paper wasps build a massive colony in the tangles.

Y’know… I just got a very bad feeling. So there was a shovel in the house, and a garden rake. They were no doubt used to destroy the house, but now I’m scared. What if destroying the house was a distraction for someone who hid a dead body nearby? After I got all the windows covered with plastic, the West room began to smell strongly of skatole and musty. It smelled like the dead deer that I found by the railroad tracks, minus the clear death odor. I figured it was just mice, but the other rooms don’t smell. The reason it wouldnt be super permeating would be that it was during winter. The house was just recently destroyed as daytime temps began to rise.

Good Lord. I was using that shovel to clean up the glass and debris because I couldn’t find a dustpan. Ithe property is literally at the end the of woods between the lake. I hope to God I’m overthinking, I just have a bad feeling though. If I find evidence that something more sinister happened there, I’m so calling the police immediately. I don’t see any blood anywhere, but that doesn’t mean anytthing because someone could have hid a body wrapped up in plastic. Especially during the winter when it was much colder.

I just know that smell very well, it kept unsettling me. It’s a nasty smell. Smells like shit, literally.

What blows my theory apart would be, why TF would someone hide it inside a house instead of just burying it right away? Maybe my imagination is getting away from me. I’ve just seen such horrible things in life. It’s easy to believe.

Ffs I need to stop. I just looked at missing persons and a 15 year old girl that’s been missing since
October of last year. It’s intensifying my worries. Ok… Until I find concrete evidence I’m just going to continue my business as usual. I’m definitely gonna take a much deeper look at the surrounding area now though.

Yes I have. I think a show was called Cosmos? Carl Sagan hosted the first series and somewhere around the mid 2010’s, someone else took it back up again. Never remember his name. Hmmm… Might have been in a movie I have by Stephen Hawking. He was talking about the theory of everything.

This I am unaware of, but I bet google knows more than me. I’d like to be agnostic. Seems like a safe bet. :vulcan_salute: My pa died of Alzheimer’s. When he was diagnosed he turned agnostic. Can’t say as I blame him. I just can’t imagine, when the time comes.

These early stages of dementia are fucked up. Short memory? Can’t find it. Was at some cardio vascular surgeons office. He was talking about some test wherein they were gonna run some dye through my blood. Cat scan, or some shit? LOL. Don’t recall exactly.

Asked the wife why I was there. She said My GP found some odd readings on my EKG during my last physical. I said, “What physical? I don’t recall an EKG.” Says I was hitting on all the nurses. “When am I not hitting on anything edible? I don’t remember any of that!”

She’s a wonderful gentle woman. Says, it’s okay, we all forget… I have other “mental” issues. “Tardive Dyskinesia” Uncontrolled muscle movements, that I have a neurologist for. Sent me for an MRI and found some issue that can cause dementia. I’m okay with that. I won’t remember I’m gonna die. Obviously, I’m going to follow my dad.

My point? Y’all have brought tear to my eyes. I actually DO remember shit. I’m not the dumb ass I thought (think?) I am. Doc said to challenge my noodles. YOU all have done that! I’m sure I am not all the way up to the challenge, but I know I’m not far from it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Or am I all wrong? :slight_smile:

I’ve been a member of many of forums, but this is THE best! Where else can you drop the F-bomb so often and not be sanctioned? I feel so at home here! :innocent:

If you wanna see another “Conservative” forum, check out modelshipworld.com. You only need to see the home page, We build model wooden tall ships. Authentic replicas.

Again, thanks, and unlike, me, hugs and kisses,

I think you should call the police immediately. That’s some scary shit and you may have contaminated a crime scene. I think you mentioned meth heads? They don’t use gloves. There may be fingerprints the cops could use to locate them. They’re the type to have met the po-po and have been fingerprinted.

Being such intellectuals (Who else would do meth) there may very well be something scary in that room. It’s not like they’d be smart enough to toss a body in the lake.

Oh, and I’m scared of you! You be brave! :sunglasses:

We’ve just had our first hummingbird sighting for the year. A male naturally. We’ll see the female in a couple weeks. :+1:

They were spotted in Michigan a week ago so we made up some 3:1 food in anticipation, and there he was, perched on a bare honeysuckle vine.

Hummers are cool! Spent the first 60 years of life in Michigan. Hardly ever saw one. Here in Central California we see them year around. Boy are they territorial!

We have a bottle brush bush in front of our porch. I swear I’ve HEARD the thump when one dive bombs another’s head.

Oh the job, it’s fantastic. I work with great people, and it doesn’t seem to be as labor intensive as my last jobs were. It’s really cool I get to work around construction equipment, I’m gonna be learning a lot about it.

I’ve been busy this weekend. I caught some of the idiots who destroyed the house. I hope the police can do something. I got the MF on video saying he threw the TV, (was inside the house, meaning they broke in and threw it off the deck.) I have 0 doubt theyre the ones who destroyed the house and threw everything off the deck. As soon as I said I was calling the police, they started leaving!!! I just lost it after he said he threw the TV.

Good to hear, it. Sounds like a place to retire from!

Wanna borrow my .45? Hollow points, baby! I wear tri-foculs. Can’t see to aim, so it’s got the laser too.

You turn the little red dot on, point it at the ground in front, slowly go a foot, up the leg, pause at a knee cap, then continue onto the nuts.

Just toss him in the lake.

Yes, definitely.

I’d much rather him be in handcuffs, behind bars and made to pay for the damages. He sure would be a lot more miserable for what he’s done that way.

Some people wouldn’t understand why anyone would help a complete stranger. I don’t see it that way. I immediately felt compelled to do something rather than just walking away. It was like the house was a part of me despite never actually living in it. I had first came upon it during a time in my life where I just felt lost. I remember sitting up in a chair on the deck to rest and just daydream about what it was like being there with family. I couldn’t just stand there and watch it slowly rot away. I immediately felt like I needed to protect it.

I always thought it was such a cool place to have. I also immediately felt a kind of connection with the owner as soon as I talked to her on the phone. It didn’t feel like I was talking to a stranger.

This is a picture I took of this really neat massive click beetle I found on the deck that very day. I will never forget how beautiful that place was before.

Yeah, if he can afford meth, he can afford restitution. Get his sorry ass out there on work release to fix his mess. He can meet his victim and apologize face to face. AFTER the house is pristine!

First year we moved here, our home alarm went off at 4:00am of a Sunday. Grabbed the 12 gauge, ran downstairs, saw some punk looking around like he was stoned… Racked a round into the chamber. This boy, RAN! Right into our 6’ privacy fence, full body slam. Backed up, went at it again and jumped it. Now THAT’S adrenaline!

Cop came out, showed him video… Ass looked right at a camera. Cop is “describing” him over his radio. Shorts, t-shirt, 5’9" or so… I’m like dude, it’s 1080P, in color, lot’s of light. Brown Kaki’s, olive green t-shirt, thick black rim glasses, goatee… I’m describing the punk, the cop’s telling it little by little. I’m going WTF?

Put signs with his photo on all the cluster mailboxes in the hood. Some 2500 houses. We have an “Incident” feed for our city on facebook that I posted in. Got a reply. Address, phone number, employer…

The story is considerably longer, involving the officer being on vacation and has to be the one to follow up? Turns out the kid’s parents were friends of the cops family. Got away Scott free.

Shot gun in the closet. Hadda take a detour to grab it. That’s when I got the .45. On the dresser next to the bedroom door.

Wife got me a t-shirt what say’s, “Now I lay me down to sleep. Beside my bed, a gun I keep. If I awake and you’re inside, a coroners van will be your last ride.”

Like you, I’d rather he/she/it get on the ground to wait for the cops to show, but if another one’s carrying? I’m double tapping. Center mass! No questions asked!

Edit: I googled clicker beetle. Never heard of one, much less seen one. Pretty wild! NICE picture! That’s you’re Minolta? PLEASE tell me I remember something short term. Hell, lie to me:)
