2016,.. "I really would consider autonomous driving to be basically a solved problem," Musk said. "I think we're basically less than two years away from complete autonomy."
As an MD,.. would need a very intricate knowledge of anatomy and physiology…
I saw posted on another forum from an apparently learned person that there are errors in the physiological descriptions. From what I recall in particular was the discussion related to looking for the olfactory bulbs inside the nasal cavity. The quote is “ There appears to be no equivalent to the olfactory bulb in the nasal cavity. “ As an MD you’d know that the olfactory bulbs (plural) are part of the forebrain and not located in the human nasal cavity.
I think that smell is part of ufo lore, which kind of points towards this being written by somebody more familiar with the lore than the facts.
This from another forum…
The primary named witnesses from Varginha Brazil emphatically stated the alien they stood a few feet from did not smell of anything, and the mother who went to the spot shortly after also denied a smell:
My search of the literature concerning this case reports the following episode, pertaining to the mother of the two girls who were sisters, Luiza Helena Fatima de Silva. It states she saw the alien creature in Jardim Andere district on January the 20th and reported a peculiar smell when she went to the park at 4:00 PM. I personally questioned Mrs. Silva in reference to this statement and she denied it. I believe this is an important issue, as the rumors of strange smells have become associated with this case. I questioned Bira about this story and he told us the case was filled with rumors, which totally disregarded the facts.
Valquiria: No. There was no smell.
Dr. L: Are you absolutely sure? I am asking this because there are many rumors about this case and some of the witnesses have claimed there was a foul odor.
Valquiria: I am absolutely sure there was no smell whatsoever.
Some of you in Sydney mentioned Aldi had “Belgian syrup waffles” better known as Stroopwafels for a few dollars per packet, which are heavenly when microwaved for about 30 seconds and sat on top of a hot beverage. Being a fan I went to Aldi in Adelaide, didn’t find any but left with one of these telescopes for $129. As you do.
@bigjsl lol, mission failed successfully. I’ve seen the stroopwaffles in Woolworths or Foodland in the Dutch section of the international foods area. Nice idea with the microwave though, I’ll have to try it.
Yea that makes more sense. The mass media isn’t that organised worldwide but possibly independently boosting hot topic stories like UFOs. Unfortunately I don’t think everybody sees beyond the clickbaity headlines, YouTube video comments are full of things like, “ so the US gov is admitting to aliens being real now?”.
Elon ‘vaporware’ Musk will be first to ride the Hyperloop, Robotaxi, Cybertruck, Tesla Truck or fully self driving Tesla. As soon as they’re ready, any day now, really, honestly. He announced in 2017 that he would be sending two rockets with human colonists by 2022 and four ships carrying 200 people by 2024. Hmmm, I’m starting to doubt his honesty.
Lol, it’s the same claim they’ve been making since Roswell at least. Still no hard evidence to be seen, just what some body said they’d heard from someone else. These so called officials were true believers before hand. This is the exact outcome you’d expect when you give a true believer a job that aligns with their preconceived notions in regards to extraterrestrials and UFOs.
Yes, music is in the ear of the beholder, it has a way of connecting to your deeper self if you let it. The lyrics of a song can be very meaningful when you’re feeling depressed, maybe because your brain can put a spin on the lyrics meaning thats relatable to your personal situation. Music itself can connect to you in a way that reflects your emotions and so the song becomes personal to you. A favourite song can be a friend and partner when dealing with life’s complications
I guess they couldn’t find any stock footage of an Aussie school bus. They did manage to find footage of a US school bus driving on the wrong side of the road though.
” The lamps were lent to the white house in 2019, before Trump took office.
What? He took office in January 2017.
ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
ISRAEL LENT SEVERAL antiquities to the White House in 2019, including ancient clay lamps for a White House Hanukkah event. Unfortunately, Donald Trump was president at the time, which means the artifacts are now at Mar-a-Lago, and Israel can’t figure out how to get them back, Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
The artifacts were only supposed to be in Washington, D.C., for a few weeks. Israel Hasson, then the director of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, told Haaretz that because they are so valuable, he wanted someone to pick them up instead of having them shipped overseas. The pandemic derailed these plans, and the artifacts remained in the White House. Israeli authorities learned several months ago that they wound up at Mar-a-Lago.
Eli Eskozido, who took over for Hasson at the Israeli Antiquities Authority, has solicited the help of the Israeli government and Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the nation in his efforts to retrieve the artifacts — to no avail.
Somehow, the former president stealing ancient Israeli artifacts isn’t surprising. Trump all but ransacked the White House on his way out of office, most notably absconding with hundreds of classified documents. Trump was criminally indicted for his handling of the documents in June, and yet still thinks he’s entitled to the sensitive material. Rolling Stone reported late last month that he was demanding his lawyers figure out how to get “my documents” back after the government retrieved them, even as it became clear he would be indicted for hoarding them.

On my last trip to the Aussie desert I saw a large flock of Dewies (Budgerigar) hanging out at a billabong (natural spring). They’re mostly green and yellow in nature.
