    Clearly some folks here like simple answers to complex problems.

    It’s a positive thing thay she recognises that she is being irrational at times, does she?

    I think framing it as ‘her’ problem is not useful. It may be a trait of her’s but the problem is something you both experience. To see it as separate to you is a hint that you might being seeing yourselves as 2 people living together rather than a single unit. This may be cause or effect, either way it is not sustainable. However, walking away is not the answer, yet. Deal with this together, get help together. Start soft with an appointment at Relate or similar,
    If you both want to get better.

    As for the history, there’s not much sign of the place being used for blitzkrieg practice, is there something I missed?

    Only for Picasso’s painting. as a place of significance.

    Ok, Guernica sounds historically interesting.Why not stay? Bilboa?
    And you get to walk across a border.

    I like your idea Edukator. But some real life constraints apply too. Will probably only have a week, maybe a day or so more. Also some sympathy with fasthaggis, don’t want too much grim in pilgrimage.

    Was thinking of starting from San Sebastian. But am more open to not thinking about where to end. Take a tent?

    Not looking to do it on a shoestring, but a bit of a budget. Don’t’ really fancy sending 1500 for a week as some operators seem to charge

    No, i don’t think they are false, i really think they don’t like them!

    I’ve always had a curt email when being banned. hth

    Really? I never know which one of them sent it

    We’re writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (moderator) may not exist,

    Hmm brought to you by the same people who deny ‘conspiracy’ theories?

    Were there any crumbs left over that you could eat?

    No! I don’t know where they went!

    Jam Doughnuts, Ring doughnuts, sprinkles? All of these will make a significant difference to their structural integrity.

    Well, they were these new ones. They are like ring doughnuts, but more triangular, but still with a round hole in the middle, anyone else tried them?

    & I’m out of doughnuts….

    Me too. I had a pile of 20 of them ready for this as well. But just as I picked up the first one,it slipped out of my fingers and just crushed the whole lot into tiny pieces.

    Depends how specific you are about the term ‘weigh’ but if you mean overall reaction force at the road/lorry interface, then on average ‘yes’. Assuming there are enough pigeons.

    How did I do Charlie? Any obvious holes in that?

    Absolutely, perfectly correct for the 1st paragraph!

    In the second, you appear to agree with Malvernrider that the atmosphere moves with the earth? The third seems entirely reasonable, but start at the surface of the train and it is not so different to the earth

    CharlieMungus
    Free Member

    No, not at all. Just want you to explain it. How come you can stand on a train and feel wind but not feel the same when you stand on the earth

    The atmosphere is not all moving at the same speed as the Earth

    So a bit higher its slower? The same as the train.?

    CharlieMungus
    Free Member

    So the air above the train does move with the train?

    Keeping it simple for you,

    Velocity x Mass = Force

    Now your turn.

    Actually it’s
    Acceleration x Mass = Force

    F = MA

    (Velocity x Mass is proportional to Energy)

    Wtf? We got folks banging on ‘because physics’ and question the intelligence or scientific understanding of others, then we get this!

    Wait, shouldn’t you first be asking why the air ‘above’ Earth doesn’t float off into space?

    No, I imagine you know the answer to that. But it doesn’t help answer the question I was asking

    Graham, I appreciate Poe’s Law is in effect here but I believe CM is employing a debating technique known as [trolling] devil’s advocate. He knows as well as you do, he’s positing the flat Earthers’ position.

    I’m not positing any position regarding the shape of the Earth.

    The air in the atmosphere is moving along with the Earth as it spins. So for us, standing on a spinning Earth, that air is still, even though the surface of the Earth is moving at ~1000 mph (depending where you are).

    The train is pushing through that still air. It’s the needle, only a few billion times smaller, it’s not big enough to get all the air on Earth to start moving along with it! It can only shove against a minuscule part of it, which can just get out of the way.

    So how come the air above the earth moves at the same speed as the earth but the air above the train does not move at the same speed as the train?

    CharlieMungus
    Free Member

    The same reason it doesn’t happen inside the moving train – all the air is moving along with you.

    Yeah but how come it moves with you on the world but not on a train?

    CharlieMungus
    Free Member

    No, that would a much worse comparison because if you are on top of a moving train you are rushing through air that it stationary relative to your motion.

    Yeah but why doesn’t that happen when you are on the surface of the world?

    CharlieMungus

    Clearly this person has never tried jumping up and down in a moving train/plane.

    what about ‘on’, which would be a better comparison

    What? after 23 pages, you want to start all over again with another ‘compelling’ video?

    I long gave up trying to work out what Charlie things he is smart but he wastes it IMHO with odd arguments I dont care much for and cannot always follow – sorry I meant to say it appears that he

    Really? I really thought my points here were pretty clear and conciliatory. No, really i did. You constantly see me as trolling and i never do. I may occasionally post ironically, because some folks in here seem to have normalised some pretty way out / unacceptable views. but most of the time, i’m being serious

    For my benefit, tell me what odd arguments you mean?

    No, specifically he said that the video was compelling, some videos are convincing, but this one, as he reminds us on this page, he said was compelling

    CharlieMungus

    ok, so I’ve seen some of the conspiracy videos on youtube and some of them can be quite convincing.

    just said that the video was quite compelling.

    Looks like he was right, amedias

    If you’re gonna be picky, expect others to be equally so.
