It can't be a Trabant. There's no new Trabants. Indeed, if there turns out to be a warehouse crammed to the rafters with long-term stored mint Trabants in packing grease, whoever owns it could make a mint today on the nostalgia market.

I reckon the car we're looking for is a Trax.

That sounds like a Tesla then.

The rules are you say if we get it right but otherwise you get to keep it secret, and we only get one guess per post.

I have heard of narrowing of the holes through bone that initially allow nerve bundles to channel within the skeleton, and the progressive restriction it places on nerve function. It could extend to ligaments - perhaps not fully enclosed but sufficient to harm their function. A skeleton is a ...

That's ideal, I'm glad we finally got the system open to you again. Welcome back.

Does Florida feel much different this year than ten years back? It's generated a lot of news, what with Senators and Governors and people standing their ground and such.

Although in my first post I wrote about the Father of cosmoses, it could be that the Father refers to a single cosmos, and each cosmos has its own separate Father. In that case, of course, He wouldn't be eternal, but was born with the cosmos and will die with the cosmos. The act of creation could ...

The choice of the "Conspiracy Theories" forum is deliberate, but not as an analysis of the film.

The cast list is what matters here. This film is a declaration of civil war in America.

Donald Trump’s latest plan for ending the war in Ukraine would see territory ceded to Russia, Russia readmitted to the G8 and Ukraine banned from joining Nato, according to drafts of the proposal seen by Axios, AFP and the Associated Press.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expected ...

That sort of behaviour is not what the English team should be about. It's only a game, there are higher priorities.

In an interview with an online betting company Panesar had urged England’s players to: “Say something like, ‘I don’t think it’s ethical that he’s the captain. I don’t think he played the game fairly.’ Really get into him and make him feel guilty about it. Make him feel like, ‘They’re probably right ...

And I quite liked In November 2018, after Trump indicated the U.S. would not sanction Saudi Arabia over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, Gabbard tweeted at Trump, "being Saudi Arabia's bitch is not 'America First.'"

It's still echoing down the years though...

It was far more than a simple ...

US president Donald Trump has urged his fellow Republicans in Congress to vote for the release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, reversing his earlier resistance to such a move.

Trump’s post on his Truth Social came after House speaker Mike Johnson said earlier ...

It is not easy to achieve ten times your own intelligence, but it is possible.

I have no doubt of it, that sees eminently doable. My challenge was that if you redefine your IQ scale to a linear rather than the present logarithmic increments it is necessary for you to publish your revised ...

Hitler resides in the spiritual plane and is likely currently incarnated at the age of 12. In the future, he will attempt to seize power in Russia and initiate a nuclear conflict.

This relates well with Saint's observations. He reports repeated incarnation in the same country, speaking the same ...

If all volumes of that size involve the effect which prevents anything smaller from existing, it would be difficult to extract any "image" of the volume - the probe would be too insensitive. So any feasible representation which adds to physics by enabling mathematical modelling of interactions on ...

As for estimating the number of universes, we can use the galactic model - that is, the number of galaxies in the universe - to estimate the number of universes at 400 billion. However, the actual number may be fewer, around 50 billion.

It's an interesting choice of vocabulary.

We can easily agree on a featureless label "God" and recognise there is a moment in the past when a creational event became apparent, prior to which we have no evidence on which to extrapolate our understanding of prior events. I might ascribe that event to ...

Songs with meaningful lyrics can truly resonate and evoke deep emotions. They have the power to shape our thoughts and memories in profound ways. Do you believe that lyrics hold more weight than the melody itself? Could a song's message be so powerful that it outshines its musical composition ...

Yes, the effect each slight change in shape might have on the operation. Rather like tuning a radio, perhaps. The shapes are relevant to the operation presumably, and their positioning in respect of each other.

Here's an interactive experiment - can you describe the effects of using the controls? You may have to decrease the screen magnification to fit your monitor. Tell me if you'd like me to delete this post.

It can be said that the Atlantis ring is a powerful tool for developing consciousness and paranormal abilities.

Trial by newspaper seems to be stock in trade for the tabloids. They ought to be made to compensate Mr Jeffries handsomely. Slightly eccentric he may be but to paint the picture of him that they did and to post his photograph on as may available pages, was a disgrace. His life may never be the ...

Democrats pulled off nearly a complete sweep in Tuesday’s major contests, notching big wins in races largely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is the projected winner, according to the AP, in the New York mayor’s race. He ...

And this:

“Never ran anything,” former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo charged, as he dissed his opponent on Fox News. “There’s no time for on-the-job training when any given morning, God forbid, you could have a mass murder or a terrorist attack.”

It needs expansion:

Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money ...

Should anyone wish to recognize the most improbable blowback on current White House practice, New York will today vote a Ugandan Asian Muslim aged 34 into office as city mayor. This on a platform declaring the city should enable free Internet and urban bus transport to counter the dreadful rises in ...

I note this as a birthday week. Randall is 94, and one of the mods is spending the weekend on his boat to celebrate his own natal anniversary. I used to do something similar with a week of cross-country skiing but that seems to be in abeyance recently. And an ex-mod, the third of the week, Koan.

Wednesday, I note, is the Supreme Court hearing of oral argument for the legality of the White House tariffs imposed as emergency measures. Bonfire night.

We will recall Trump packed the Supreme Court to a 6-3 Republican-leaning majority and counting. On the other hand, the emergency is self ...

Members of a US congressional committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case have intensified their calls for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to answer questions about his links to the late sex offender.

Hey folks, I’m new here too! Guess we’re all figuring this out together 😄

I’m starting to plan my garden layout for the upcoming season and thought I’d share a bit of what I’m working on and hopefully learn from all of you too. I’ve been experimenting with spacing, crop rotation, and timing, and it’s amazing how much difference small adjustments can make.

If you imply a paradigm then yes, that's the overarching assumption which informs the science. And I agree they are infinite in variety, and that the science is entirely subject to it while drawing its boundaries experimentally. And each is as powerful as its consequent analysis achieves.

It's a broad category. Philosophy can focus on society or instead on the nature of the universe. They have little in common.

It's a month since, I think we're due an update. I hope matters are in hand? All those self-injections must be aggravating.

Gosh. Movement after all these years.

It's an unsavory matter but it deserves a thread.

Many nihilists have asserted that to be the case, yes. But they view it as an end point, while you offer it as the initial state from which things emerge. Your nothing loses its perfection before anything else can enjoy it.

Prince Andrew is giving up his titles, including the Duke of York, he has announced in a personal statement.
