Note that none of my friend were below me when I looked down so it wasn't them. We eventually made it back with a few seconds to spare.
That image is one I took from the top of the ship when I was there.

IMHO the best in the genre is "A Canticle for Leibowitz"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Canticle_for_Leibowitz

Miller later wrote a sequel called "Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman", but had enough sense not to publish it as it turned out awful. Poor guy, after he died the family put it on the market, just not right. Avoid part II at all costs.

It's undefunkable. Probably THE undefunkable paranormal event. Mirin Dajo would be close if he didn't die.

Can you into dates? Also, no modern equipment can disable the enemy's instrumentation.

I am not talking about losing radar lock or having your shit jammed. The report talked about actually losing controls.

We need know this 'cause why?

That's why cosmologists tends to believe in a primal wish/idea that provoked the universe go from state 0 to 1.
The big bang.
Those scientists now believe in a "god".

I myself believe that we have created the universe ourself. Within one point everything imaginable in the universe was condensed. Even the time itself. Everything happen at the same time and what we wish now can influence something in the past.
Somewhere, sometimes, someone will/have wish/wished the existence o the universe. Like putting the dvd in the player.

>>17242803
You believe that we are God, then.

And that we created the universe that existed before we did.

Pretty dopey.

Now, I'd like to switch gears for a second. As far as we know, consciousness does not operate in the realm of Newtonian physics--"Free Will" stems, not from the absolute fatalistic determination of Newtonian physics, but from the quantum oscillations of micro-tubules near our neurons. Theoretically, even with a perfect computer, one could not determine the precise outcome from a series of given inputs, when dealing with consciousness; otherwise, the robots (back to the movie now) could have foreseen the rebellion.

(If anyone has any input or sources relating to scientific feasibility of free will, please let me know)

In the movie, the Matrix is reality as you and I know it. Something that you're familiar with, I'm sure, is that existence is suffering. (Not all the time, of course.) The Buddha called it "dukkha", and this is the First Noble Truth.

He proposed that the wild swings from joy to misery, happiness to sadness, comfort to discomfort--clinging to the "good", aversion to the "bad", and the suffering all of this causes--could all be eliminated by, among other things, equanimity.

In my own personal studies, I've found this word, equanimity, repeatedly stressed. "Let the emotions be as water off a duck's back", "do not react to
these fleeting, hollow sensations, whether they be pleasant or painful." Seeing life and existence as ethereal, false, refusing to become tangled in the web, conscious to stay unmoved...

Originally the Wachowskis wanted to use a different analogy, the proccesor one , but the studio tough that would be too complex for the American market.

Does anybody recall an advert, from around the late 90's / early 2000's, it was with American Express I think. Basically, it showed a blue Amex card, then all of a sudden a red Amex card, with spikes on it. I think 'cars' by Gary Numan was playing. That advert always used to scare me.

Once my crawlywhipper got lost in me old crumble bin had to use me skidget to pry the whip whopper out of the old "how do ya do"

It was about the village and that very same forest we went to explore. People in the medieval avoided those woods, because those venturing it during dust or after dark went missing. People believed that something unnatural was living in those woods. At some point during the 16th or 17th century a family went home after a fair in the neighboring village. To get home faster, they decided to go through the forest. Bad idea. The next morning their neighbors recognized that they were not home. The villagers formed a seachparty and when they wanted to move out the young daughter walked into the village coming from the forest. She was covered in mudd and blood, her dress was torn apart, scratches all over her. She collapsed right in the street. That girl never spoke a word again in her entire life, lost the ability to speak completely, screamed while sleeping. The villagers and guards tried to find the rest of the family (father, mother, older daughter and son). They searched the woods for days without success, all they found was dried bloodstains. People were freaking out about this incident and the local nobleman grew sick of people getting missing and occupieing his men with searching that fucking forest, so he had his men and the villagers disafforest huge portions of the woods to be converted to farmland and to put a stop to the occurences once and for all. The longest paths through the forest had to be not longer than 100 meters and straight. Also he oredered all bushes in the entire forest to be removed every few years completely, so everyone could see deep inside the forest with ease. From that point on noone went missing in those woods again - well until those stupid local eco-warriors put and end to the forest-dwindling some decades ago. K.'s parents told us, that two girls went missing in the last two decades near the forest.

Continues with part 2 soon

Bigfoot comes from portals, they're demons or aliens that trap us and eat us. Why do you think so many people go missing in the forests and a Bigfoot is never found?
