Lesson 1:

If you want to quote someone in a message board such as this, there is a "quote" feature you should use instead of the unreadable copy/paste method you used. You can enclose the text to be quoted with the pair of tags [.quote] and [./quote] (lose the periods)

Am I the only one who’s thinking the bigger concern is ATT keeping recordings of all our phone calls


Call records are not recordings. Just a timestamp, source and destination numbers, call duration.

Our Generation's Winston Churchill is ready for peace negotiations all of a sudden


Did you read the interview, or just "Tyler Durden's" take on it?

quote:

The only possible negotiations Zelensky envisions would be talks based on his own peace plan calling for full withdrawal from Ukraine, reparations and justice for Russian war crimes.

But what about Trump, who wants to cut off military aid to Ukraine and says the can war can be over in 24 hours? The GOP presidential candidate has said he’d demand a cease-fire from both sides and force them to “negotiate,” effectively giving Putin what he wants and preventing Ukraine from taking back more occupied land. Not to mention that Putin has broken every accord between Russia and Ukraine in the last three decades.

“If Trump has such a model [to end the war in 24 hours], well, everyone would like to finalize the war. Maybe even in one hour would be better,” Zelensky joked. “But if the idea is to give up our territories, no, it will not solve the issue. It will not work; it will not lead to peace [globally] or between Ukraine and Russia.

“What is needed is to give us security. Membership in NATO is good not only for Ukraine; it would provide security for Russia,” Zelensky said. The Ukrainian border would be fixed, no further Russian invasion could cause another war, and “the world wouldn’t be afraid that Putin would come back again.”

why is Joe Biden in quotes on that rant?


Because the ranter is dismissive of the idea that Biden has any decision-making capacity. The Clusterfricker supposes that the real head of state is instead "Barack Obama and his witches’ coven"

roughly how far is morrison from denver? do you recommend staying in morrison or denver? in other words, is there anything worth a shite in morrison aside from the concert?


I worked on a show there a few years back, stayed in downtown Denver. I think it was a 15-20 minute drive every morning.

ETA: I recommend Switchback Smokehouse up in Kittredge for some barbecue.

Weird, archaeology never told me that. I always read we got to that point through thousands of years of development.

Red and cyan are complementary colors, and the image is filled with so much cyan that when you see the area that's devoid of cyan, your brain interprets it as red.


I'm not sure if i explained that in the best way, but it's a similar mechanism as the negative afterimage. Remember the optical illusion where you stare at a weirdly-colored image for thirty seconds and then look away at a white surface and you see the image appear in normal color? Same idea as this gif—it looks like there's a green dot moving around the circle when you're focused on the center, but if you shift your focus to the green dot, you see it's really just the magenta dots blanking out.

"Opponent-Process Theory" explains it.

My guess is the "Coca Cola" label tricks your mind into adding the red color?



Curious minds would like to know the reason for this optical illusion.


Color theory is the answer moreso than branding. Red and cyan are complementary colors, and the image is filled with so much cyan that when you see the area that's devoid of cyan, your brain interprets it as red.

For me, it's clearly black and white when viewed straight-on but seems red in my peripheral vision. I saw someone in the thread try to explain that the "white" areas were actually red-tinted but I did not find this to be the case in my own analysis.

You seem to offer these two images as proof of "nothing to see here," but you neglect to provide the additional context from the source:

Low res imagery of Morozovsk Air Base that came under aerial attack last night. Left shot is today, right is yesterday. Low resolution limited in what it can show. Some aircraft have moved or are not visible. No signs of smoke etc. High-res needed for detailed analysis.

And there could be multiple damaged or destroyed aircraft or none at all, just macro details can be gained from low res.
