I caught some of the silliness that is PBS Newshour and they had a lengthy segment where they let some Palestianian 'academic', 'woman' rave about the Egyptian? Peace Proposal that would simply see Hamas fixed in place as overall Terrorists-in-Charge in both Gaza and the West Bank and also see the 'phased release of the surviving kidnapped Israelis in exchange for violent terrorists and killers currently locked up in Israeli jails and of course this is the proposal that needs to be talked about and not simply dismissed. There's more than a hint of unreality to it.
Last night I got to listen to someone say of Elon Musk that he has no understanding of what damage he is doing to Earth's orbitals with his dangerous Starlink scheme. I did try to point out that the satellites are all scheduled to burn up in the deeper atmosphere in no more than 5 years after deploying and there was much scoffing. "They'll be up there in orbit for hundreds of years." Pointing out that the science is simple and that the satellites are all low enough that they are already experiencing atmospheric drag was dismissed out of hand.
"Satellites accidentally collide and create huge amounts of tiny debris!" Well, not so much really.

I used to say, "Might as well talk to the wall."
Now it seems the wall is talking back - with about as much intelligence as you'd expect a wall to haae.
I had a friend went through 5 alternators. Told him it was a high resistance joint, but he kept replacing alternators. Turned out to be a cracked starter solenoid caused a loose connection. US Education has destroyed common sense. Reality always wins, you just don’t know what it is. Tom
PBS and NPR are nothing but propaganda shops. Not worth the time to listen or watch.
I used to commute a couple times a month from San Jose to San Diego. On the way south I’d start out with Pacifica radio. The sincere arrogant stupidity was mind boggling and on the way north I’d listen to Art Bell pretty much for the same reason, but backward. It was the first time I heard Joe vs the Deer and I must have laughed for 50 miles.
