    #55 posed one question:
    #57 quoted the question—can't pretend not to have seen it—and then didn't answer it.

    Same here

    There's a new telescope, the Vera Rubin, installed at 9000 ft in Chile with help from the US DOE, it took 10 years to build and install. It has the largest astrological digital camera ever built at 3.2 Billion pixels. One image from it at full res is the size of a basketball court. It has an 8.4 meter reflector with a 3 mirror optical design. Differing from Hubble and the James Webb it has a very wide field of view and it's very fast. An image that took days for the Hubble can be done in 30 sec with the Vera Rubin. It can cover the entire Southern hemisphere in just 3-4 days. It records 10 terrabites of data per night. All this makes it very good for finding asteroids and near earth objects. The first several nights of operation on average with the help of AI algorithms it was finding 1500 new asteroids per night.

    The first pic shows thousands of galaxies in this one image. Hubble took a similar image, it took several days and there were only 500 galaxies.

    The second pic is a 678 image composite of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae

    At least sometimes we get something worthwhile from our tax dollars.

    Are you ever going to provide the source for your "It's a felony crime to mis-report on VAERS" claim that you made in #49 and were asked to substantiate in #55?

    It's an assumption, I could spend time researching it but I have better things to do. It's a pretty minor point and all you legacy media (owned by corrupt big pharma) propaganda believers aren't going to change the fact that the Covid vaxx is a depopulation weapon brought to you by Gates / Fauchi et-al.

    Anyone that looks closely at VAERS knows it's a good indicator and that if it has inaccuracy it's falling on the side of under-counting. That's what university studies have shown. Why don't you spend some time and prove it yourself?

    Swine Flu vaxx ended after 50 deaths, Covid vaxx at 38,000 deaths and still going. What changed between these 2 vaxxine rollouts? Propaganda believers aren't the least bit curious.

    It's like the S&L financial scam of the 80's and the very similar 2008 mortgage scam. 1000 prosecutions of bankers under Reagan and the 2008 scam aftermath under Obama, 10 times larger theft (biggest monetary theft in history) and ZERO prosecutions under Obummer. What changed in the time between the two? Who cares right?

    You espouse the exact same viewpoints as legacy media. There's only 2 countries on earth that allow pharmaceutical advertising on public television, the USA and New Zealand. About 60% of advertising dollars on the big outlets comes from big pharma. Does it bring them more business? Maybe, but more importantly it puts them on their side and keeps them from reporting anything adverse. When you leave out 1/2 the story that's no longer news, that's propaganda. But who cares right?

    Thank you. Back in #49 you had made it sound like "It's a felony crime to mis-report on VAERS" was something you could substantiate.

    Already addressed. Numbers from different sources: VAERS didn't exist in 1976. The process of attributing 53 deaths from Guillain-Barré to the swine flu vaccine was different from an e-portal taking any reports of adverse events that happened after getting a shot.

    It's not necessary for anyone to intentionally "mis-report" on VAERS, any more than people intentionally "mis-report" car complaints on the NHTSA site. But going to NHTSA and reading over a sample of the kind of reports people make, you'd think twice before using the number of those reports to say how many problems the car had.

    It's unknown to me either way, so it's possible it could be substantiated

    Comparing 50 deaths to 38,000 sourced from the best places available at the time and saying it's no big deal is peak head in the sand ostrich mentality

    Sure, but that's the way an honest person says it the first time.

    Looking closer at the Virgo cluster image, and the 2 spiral galaxies at the lower right. If they are of average spiral galaxy size they should be about 200,000 light years from each other, so 1.18 x 10^18 miles or 1,180,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion ) miles.

    If you could see the Milky Way and our nearest neighbor Andromeda like this they would be about 12 times further apart, or 2.5 million light years or 1.47 x 10^19 miles, or 14,700,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) miles.

    It looks like these 2 Virgo galaxies are close to colliding. In fact the Milky Way and Andromeda are speeding towards each other at 110 km/sec or 247,000 mph. At that speed it will only take 4 billion years for them to collide. But don't worry with the vast distances there won't be that many star collisions, it will just form into a massive single elliptical galaxy and the chances of our sun hitting anything are very low.

    The Virgo cluster is 53.8 million light years away, or 316,000,000,000,000,000,000 (quintillion) miles

    Another fun fact our solar system is orbiting the Milky way with the solar plane perpendicular to our galactic plane, one orbit is a galactic year (or cosmic year) and it takes 230,000,000 earth years for one galactic orbit. And in earth's 4.6 Billion year life we've done about 20 galactic orbits.

    Geez, thought I'd check in on this thread, for tire inflation tips.

    Yeah, the first post did say "inflated the tires to max sidewall. Make steering and handling more precise at some discomfort over speed bumps and soon to be pot holes."

    That wouldn't be my tip, though. When I got my first, gen 1, Prius, I was influenced by the higher-pressure advocates here and inflated something close to max sidewall. I didn't like at all how that felt on rough roads, so after a few weeks I compromised on something like 38/36 instead of the placard 35/33.

    That was more comfortable for me, only the car had been quiet inside like a new car when I bought it, but the new interior rattles and squeaks from that experiment never went away again after I discontinued it.

    Likely ages suspension and wheel bearings quicker as well.

    one good thing about over inflation is that you don't have to pump them up as often. i didn't even know the prius was a rattle machine until i got hearing aids :cool:

    "When I got my first, gen 1, Prius, I was influenced by the higher-pressure advocates here and inflated something close to max sidewall."

    Ah memories. Regarding my own advocacy, I was influenced by repeated tread-depth measurements. My goal was to equalize tread wear across 'the patch' and relatively high pressures accomplished that.

    ==
    Not an easy habit to lose. I still see parking lots as displays of how vehicle operators are/are not maximizing their rubber investments. Typical vehicle tire sizes and prices have increased a lot since those days. Uneven tread wear costs more now.

    It is another type of inflation.

    Start with max sidewall and drive over the worst speed bump. I you don't like it, lower the pressure to half way to the jam value and try again. For good measure, lower again to the door jam pressure. The goal is find the highest, tolerable.

    Your car, your ride, and your choice. <GRINS>

    I am also an advocate of pressure limiting, 12 V tire pumps. Set 'em and let them run while you clean windshield, especially the inside. A clean inside can minimize defogging.

    It is just shocking that the covid vaxx doesn't confer immortality!!!!

    BTW, what does this line on the openvax page mean?:
    "Reports are not proof of causality."

    I posted graphs here of CDC weekly all-cause mortality data back in 2020, before the vaxx was introduced. PriusTech's claim that all-cause mortality did not go up befor the vaxx, is simply fiction.

    But at the moment, recovering from severe jet lag, I don't have the time to go searching back for my old posts on this.

    "How to lie with statistics":
    Why did you use a data span of January 1 to March 25, 2020?

    Do remember that the very first Covid-19 death reported in the U.S. in real time (*), occurred on Feb 29, 2020, in a nursing home in my own neighborhood. Within a week, one-third of that facility's residents were dead, but even through the end of your time window, March 25, the overall Pandemic was still in its infancy.

    Many of your other images are similarly suspect.

    (*) Several earlier cases were identified and reported only later, not in real time.
