News:
Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

As per the article:
"LOS ANGELES – A YouTuber pilot was sentenced today to six months in federal prison for obstructing a federal investigation by deliberately destroying the wreckage of an airplane that he intentionally crashed in Santa Barbara County to gain online views."
And, further along in the article:
"On November 24, 2021, Jacob took off in his airplane from Lompoc City Airport on a solo flight purportedly destined for Mammoth Lakes. Jacob did not intend to reach his destination, but instead planned to eject from his aircraft during the flight and video himself parachuting to the ground and his airplane as it descended and crashed.
Prior to taking off, Jacob mounted several video cameras on different parts of the airplane and equipped himself with a parachute, video camera and selfie stick. Approximately 35 minutes after taking off, while flying above the Los Padres National Forest near Santa Maria, Jacob ejected from the airplane and videoed himself parachuting to the ground.
Using the video camera mounted on the selfie stick and the video cameras he mounted on the airplane, Jacob was able to record the airplane as it descended and crashed into a dry brush area in Los Padres National Forest. After parachuting to the ground, Jacob hiked to the location of the wreck and recovered the data containing the video recording of his flight and the crash of the airplane."
And, still further along in the article:
"In the weeks following the plane crash, Jacob lied to investigators that he did not know the wreckage’s location. In fact, on December 10, 2021, Jacob and a friend flew by helicopter to the wreckage site. There, Jacob used straps to secure the wreckage, which the helicopter lifted and carried to Rancho Sisquoc in Santa Barbara County, where it was loaded onto a trailer attached to Jacob’s pickup truck."
It's incredible the lengths some people will go just to get views on YouTube.

To be honest, I have been off and on forums decades ago, this is my first forum in years. To encounter prejudice at the first is weird, but whatever.
Prejudice? You were rude to Altered. This is what you fucking get.
Try not being a fucking dickbag, and see where it gets you.

I know next to nothing about the Official Discordian Document Numbering System. But, it appears you have put a great deal of effort into the development of your number generator. So, I am definitely interested in reading about the lore behind your system.
Hail Eris!

"Japan’s JT-60SA tokamak will test technologies put to use in ITER"
As per the article:
"The long trek toward practical fusion energy passed a milestone last week when the world’s newest and largest fusion reactor fired up. Japan’s JT-60SA uses magnetic fields from superconducting coils to contain a blazingly hot cloud of ionized gas, or plasma, within a doughnut-shaped vacuum vessel, in hope of coaxing hydrogen nuclei to fuse and release energy. The four-story-high machine is designed to hold a plasma heated to 200 million degrees Celsius for about 100 seconds, far longer than previous large tokamaks."
And, as per the end of the article:
"By 2050, Japan also hopes to build DEMO, a proposed demonstration power plant that would provide a stepping stone from the research of JT-60SA and ITER to commercial fusion power. Shirai says he is well aware of the competition from alternative approaches to fusion energy, fueled by an influx of private money into the field. But with competition comes opportunities for collaborations among those with new ideas. “Having many people coming into this area is a very good thing,” Shirai says."
Developing fusion power has been a long slog. But, it appears that some progress is being made.

It is irritating being treated as an enemy by Discordians, considering a lifetime of devotion to Eris.Your faith is too weak, or whatever. Go on a pilgrimage to a fetid swamp with no communication with the outside world and meditate for a couple decades, that'll sort you out.

Only Maybe Arts Lab / Official Discordian Document Number Generator
« Last post by ein Gefrorener Würfel on December 03, 2023, 10:04:27 pm »Hi Comrades,
Recently I needed an Official Discordian Document Number, but I couldn't find my android app. So, I wrote a new generator. This time it is pure HTML/JavaScript so you can all use it.
Find it here:
https://odd.keks.li/
Find the source code here:
https://github.com/0x1cedd1ce/UODD
If you have ideas for improvement or see problems please speak up.
The Updated Document Numbers have some lore which I might publish later.
I'm not a robot

High Weirdness / Re: Will NASA Diminish the UFO High Weirdness Factor?
« Last post by Brother Mythos on December 03, 2023, 09:43:32 pm »To boil it down a bit, Daniel Sheehan is offering the intelligence community who oversees maintains the secrecy of this phenomenon the opportunity to have controlled disclosure and he is threatening to bring what he has in the way of evidence to the intelligence committee if they refuse to take him up on it. This would be rather catastrophic for the gatekeepers. Within this discourse he mentions that we are being visited by non-human entities, we have recovered several of their crafts, and we have captured and possibly interrogated live aliens. He states that they are observing us and attempting to warn us that we are polluting and destroying the life sustaining potential of our world. <---Nutshell.
Thanks for the synopsis.
