There is concrete proof that trained fighter pilots saw and tracked something, and their ship's radar did too, and our gov says they don't know what it is.

This got buried too fast. It's not like this is some fringe subject based on bullshit. There is concrete proof of something and it's a current topic of wide interest. Personally I like reading what others here think about this. No

I'm not leaping to conclude there are aliens in "tic-tacs" flying around harassing fighter jet pilots for shits and giggles but I don't think it's entirely impossible they could be controlling drones from a distance

If you can't build and manage a campfire that will not ignite that tent you really shouldn't ever build a campfire anywhere because all campfires are flammable.

> 4-season tents are made to handle wind and snow accumulation, which this thing definitely would fail. I have to say you're mostly wrong about that. That tent design is a few hundred years old and about as proven as any design can

In the first video I used my hiking poles in the front corners of the tent and I think I used two short sections of old tent poles, probably fiberglass from an old cheap tent, in the back corners. In the 2nd video I didn't use any pole

I think this experiment offers a glimpse into an area that might deserve looking into. For example, a breathable weave of that reflective coating on the inside of a tent might make it warmer rather you use a campfire or not and reduce conde

You can build and manage a fire to burn slow, but yea, you do have to get up and add fuel as needed. Depending where you are, if you can orient the face of the tent towards the sunrise that might warm it up some (so you could snooze a littl

Thank you for the suggestion. Sounds like my kinda place!

Yep. The sun will warm it too.

The fire is about 4ft feet away from the tent. As you can see in the video with my grandson the fire is a small, wide, low, fire. There is no way a properly built and managed fire like that will set that tent on fire. And I did point out at

That plastic really doesn't burn too well. It's easy to test with bit of it and a bic lighter. And I did test it a lot and read up on it.

I can say without any worry of being proved wrong that it is very easy to warm that tent to 80+ degrees with even a small campfire like the one seen in the video with my grandson bouncing around inside it. I use a layer of thicker branches

Without a nationwide Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Infrastructure to Vehicle (I2V) communication system the answer is probably "No" and that's the elephant in the room no one is really talking about yet. That's because th

I can't say it was the right choice but when Apple announced their dev tools, demands, and "App Store" I read it over and decided I rather not get involved with that. I focused on web apps that can run on most any platform an

Wow... that was not what I expected. The author shares a very interesting and insightful perspective that is well worth taking in.

I'll call it a win for now. Hopefully it never comes back up for consideration but I wouldn't bet the farm it doesn't.

I've been working from home programming for about 25 years now. I first heard about the concept of "telecommuting" back in the 1970s while sitting in gridlock traffic on the 405 in the Valley and decided right then I wanted t

I was sitting in gridlock in LA traffic when I calculated how many hours a year I'd been doing that. I did the math in my head and figured I must be wrong. So I did it with a calculator when I got home. I was not wrong. It was pretty c

Hmmm.... personally I never saw any ambiguity in who qualified when and where for that vaccine so it's pretty hard for me to buy into anyone using that for an excuse to jump in a line they didn't belong in. This is a moral charac

I'll probably get beat up for pondering this, but it looks like this may begin to explain the "UFO" thing. Either way it's still a pretty interesting read.
