I could start bringing in photos showing shadows being cast in multiple directions, clearly indicating studio lights from multiple angles.
You've already misidentified shots, astronauts, etc. The location and deployment of the LEM MESA camera was well documented and consistent mission to mission.
Meanwhile, you think Hollywood fakery would place a photographer in the studio taking pictures from an implausible location just so they would have to concoct a detailed explanation as to how the photo was created. That makes absolutely zero sense.

Neil Armstrong. I guess they had another remote camera there to film him taking the first ever steps on the moon?
That is Buzz Aldrin.
Neil Armstrong is the photographer!
Armstrong was filmed by a prepackaged apparatus attached to the LEM. While standing on the platform at the top of the descent ladder Armstrong pulled a lanyard that released a swinging mount, positioning the camera to face the ladder. Aldrin activated the camera with a switch inside the LEM.
The camera had to be mounted upside down and at an 11-degree angle to fit the space. Technicians at ground stations on Earth flipped the electronic signal before broadcasting it.

Again, Tarantino lifted that prayer from a 1973 Japanese film. The Japanese writer likely lifted it from similar US D-Day prayers in the WWII Pacific Theater.

And I don't buy that. There will have been a 2.6 second loop delay for anyone operating the camera from Houston. What you see on the film is too fluid for that, imo.

5 Things to Know About New York’s Proposed Second Home Tax
Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to tax second homes in New York City that are worth $5 million or more. Here’s how the proposal might work.
By Ronda Kaysen
April 15, 2026
City and state politicians are lining up behind Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to tax New York City second homes worth $5 million or more. The proposal, to be included in the state budget, aims to help close a city budget gap and to address growing income inequality by targeting the ultrawealthy who do not live in the city.
Similar ideas have been floated before, most recently in 2019, after Kenneth C. Griffin, a hedge fund billionaire, purchased a $238 million apartment on Central Park South. That effort was derailed by the real estate industry, which lobbied heavily against it.
But the political climate has shifted. Mayor Zohran Mamdani was elected in part by focusing on affordability and calling for relief for New Yorkers struggling to get by in the city.

What is the pied-à-terre tax?
The tax on second homes, or pied-à-terre tax, would be a yearly surcharge on any New York City residential property worth $5 million or more that is not the owner’s primary residence.
---
Who opposes it?
There was swift pushback from the powerful Real Estate Board of New York, the lobbyist group for the real estate industry. A banner across the top of its website reads, “Stop the pied-à-terre tax” and urged members to contact state representatives to voice opposition.
Critics argue that a tax would dampen demand from wealthy buyers who could instead decide to take their money to states with lower taxes, like Florida.

Apparently, this is what they're kicking around:
Property Value => Potential Annual Surcharge => Estimated Annual Tax
$5M - $6M ===> 0.5% ===> $25,000 - $30,000
$10M ===> 1.0% - 2.0% ==> $100,000 - $200,000
$25M+ ==> Up to 4.0% ==> $1,000,000+

quote:First, you are mixing metaphors. Obama paid Iran pallets of cash and a $1.7Billion total to settle a dispute whereby Iran had paid the US $400M for weapons in 1979, but after the Iranian revolution, the US never provided the weapons.
But when Obama unfroze their assets 10+ years ago
There were a half-dozen ways around that issue, not the least of which is the owed counterparty no longer existed.
Instead, Obama decided to pay not just "the frozen asset" at $400M, but also an additional $1.3B in interest.

elease of $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for Iran giving up its stockpiles of enriched uranium.
quote:No. They can talk around the irrationality and do it in seemingly academic terms, but they can't legitimately explain it, because there is no legitimate explanation. The closest you'll get is "We think the HepVax lasts for decades. It's 'low risk.' So why not get it early and get it done?"
Can anybody explain this to me?
The problem is "Low Risk" does not equate to no risk.
