    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    EVP is one of many things that "paranormal investigators" will truck out, with absolutely no factual basis to support it. When you get to the point of amplifying background noise to that extent, you're almost certainly going to pick up stray signals from other sources. Radios are just tuned...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    OTOH you clearly would touch said person with a 10' pole, if you were able.

    Spoilers 3 Body Problem

    I just finished rewatching it, myself, now that a second season is on the way. I'm left wondering how many times this might have played out and how much obfuscation the aliens have engaged in, if one of their species has enough experience with this sort of thing that they expect Earth to be...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    I wanted to post a GIF of Daniel Jackson demonstrating Pi in Thor's test, in Stargate, but all that I could find was Dom DeLuise saying that he wanted to experience the universe and eat pie. I keep thinking back to all the pictures of "orbs" that we get from investigators, who neither...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    This is where I was yesterday afternoon. It's how people traveled on the Great Lakes, in Edwardian times; The Steamship Keewatin, which was in service until 1970.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    One word, and now I've got this stuck in my head.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Today it's "aliens." Two hundred years ago it was "Fairies."

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    UFOs? Yes. Aliens? Questionable. They aren't the same thing.

    If I remember correctly a few of the affected products even made it to Canada.

    Today I learned +

    You would have been in heaven where I was yesterday; on the SS Keewatin, a lake steamship that was commissioned in 1907 and in service until 1970. They had set up a series of staterooms (it only had First Class accommodations) with clothing from every decade that it served. Sadly, I didn't get...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    I have not, at this point in my life, seen credible evidence that ghosts exist. I have friends who believe and one who is a medium. I do not try to disabuse them of their beliefs and, should I one day see evidence that supports it, I will change my position. Open mind ;)

    I am reminded of Irish "beef."

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Ink for me, three times. For the licenses I had to go through interviews with the local Firearms Officer, prior to my initial application even being accepted. Fingerprinted at the first interview for background checks. Two more visits just for the basic FAC, then had to go through the whole...

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Former Canadian Grand Prix motorcycle racer Michelle Duff has passed, at the age of 85. No news article yet. This comes from a friend who owns/operates a motorcycle racing series here in Ontario, Canada :(

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    If this was the case, I'd have a rather large file on me somewhere. (I likely do.) NOTE - Me doing anything criminal would be supremely stupid, as my fingerprints have been on file with RCMP for decades (government job application and firearms/restricted firearms certs).
