  1. A buddy of mine had a Newfoundland dog. Frickin' thing would be outside in -20F playing in the snow. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  2. Uh, yeah. That's why you spend your days airing up airplane tires. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  3. I think I'll add a bit to what jakee was saying, which i agree with 100%. Even the best and brightest engineering students, who get straight A's in high school physics, calculus, and chemistry, spend another 4 years or more at University learning as much as can be crammed into their head. Then, after garduating, they can go on to grad school or enter the work force. Grad school is several more years of studying. Those who enter the workforce need considerable experience before they can apply for and take the PE exams, which must be passed before one can call his/her self a professional engineer. In comparison, high school classes cover the bare basics, i.e. just enough info to get yourself in trouble.

  4. You're right, maybe he likes being beat, starved and abandond too; all laws protecting animals should be repealed. Why would I, I'm an example of both? So we DO have laws protecting animals! That's a relief. From the nature of your OP there were no laws anywhere that had the welfare of animals in mind. I believe you are blue collar. Nothing wrong with that. I am as well, 80% of the time. Watching every episode of Matlock 3 times does not equate to a degree of any kind.

  5. The fact that you see anomalies where there are none is indicative of your lack of unerstanding. How does that qualify you to assess what happened to the structures? I never made that claim. I only asked what your qualifications were. There is much more to understanding the nature of a collapse than just knowing the influence of gravity. I have no need or desire to belittle you. You do a good job of that yourself. Yes, unless you believe that none of the videos posted on Youtube have been tampered with in any way, and that each and every video NIST had access to is posted on Youtube. Face it, rhys. Each and every claim you have made has been shot down numerous times. Making those same claims again and again will not make them factual.

  6. Maybe the dog was just trying to stay warm.........OK, I'm outta here. That's what I think. He was just staying warm himself and protecting his next meal from the coyotes. Go build a trailer, an object that follows and is pulled thru life with no direction of its own. How do you know the dog wasn't just protecting his next meal and trying to stay warm? Did you talk to the dog? Did he send you a text message? Do you find something undignified in blue collar work being done by somebody who has a real degree?

  7. I asked you a VERY simple question, how the debris from the top of the towers hit the ground long before the rest of the towers finished collapsing at what you say was free-fall speed, and you refused to give an answer because you thought it was diverging from the topic. We don't think the whole world is against you. Just the portion of the world that uses common sense.

  8. Now who is diverging from the topic? Dude, you need to stop frequenting those truther sites. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
  9. So you are saying that it is not possible to compare the video to NIST's report and check for continuity? Saying I don't have a clue about what I am talking about is not only unprofessional and arrogant. It is a personal attack. A reaccuring personal attack and as much as I don't expect Bill to caution you on you blatant misconduct, he should do so in all fairness. It would be akin to me saying someone that has much less jumps than me has no clue about skydiving. Where did you study and get your degree in engineering? To say you do not have a clue as to what you are talking about is not a PA, it is an observation based on your lack of an educational and qualifying background in the matters needed to objectively draw conclusions. Is the NIST report perfect? Nope. But it is two or three magnitudes of order closer to the truth than the scenarios put forth by the truthers, whose guesses are based on assumptions rather than facts and often defy the laws of physics. Simple demonstration you can do for yourself to see how part of #7 could collapse at near 1g for a brief period. Get a few soda cans and stack them up. Now quickly pull out the bottom one. The ones above it fell pretty fast! WOW! That is a very, VERY, simple model of what happened.

  11. The only video I would have to go by is posted on Youtube. It is by no means complete and could easily have been edited by whomever for whatever reason. I do not know the complete list of video NIST had at their disposal. Same with Chandler. The only thing I said was that using the videos from Youtube would be inaccurate, not using all the raw footage that was taken that day by many different people from many different angles., including recently released footage taken from a helicopter that was not available to Chandler. For these reasons, and the fact you have no clue as to what you are talking about, I don't have to agree with you.

  12. Ok, just what the hell is going on here?? Have you guys forgotten that this is SC and civil discussions involving firearms are forbidden?? Knock it off!

  13. No, they didn't. You have not the education, the knowledge, the experience, or the qualifications to make that claim or to judge whether someone making that claim is, in fact, telling the truth.

  14. Traces of explosives: Totally false and an outright lie. The only thing that was found even related to that was traces of compounds that are consistent with reacted thermite....compounds which are naturally occuring and can be found in the ashes of any burned structure, even a burned down outhouse. Explanations: Simple explanations have been made for you here on this forum. You have chosen to ignore and discard them becaue they do not fit your wishes of what happened. I do not know if it was just a small section or the enitre building that reached near free-fall rates as i do not have the data at my disposal and do not wish to waste the time trying to determine such data from Youtube videos, which would be woefully inaccurate at best. (But that hasn't stopped your buddies, has it? ) Yes, it is unprecedented but it is not unexplained.

  15. Why is there even any question? From what we know the guy shot the man as a result of an argument, not in self defense or in protecting any property. The law did the right thing by arresting him and he will get his day(s) in court. Hard to prove self defense when you chase after the guy.

  16. It is 'Natural' for a building to 'not' fall at freefall speed, and for periods of time they did not do so, but for other periods of time they did. It is quite easy to answer your quesstion as the buildng stood for decades due to thier design. thery are quite simply too strong for gravity alone to take them down at that speed, or at all. Why don't you tell us which parts of the collapse were at free-fall speed, which were not, and why you believe this happened. What is difficult to explain is how they can manage to accelerate at freefall speed due to random fires and structural weakness. It is not difficult at all to understand. Just because you don't understand doesn't mean nobody else does. It has all been explained to ou before...more than once. digging deep for that one bro, how about you explain it and use a building as an example, and answer my question; Uh, no, not digging. That scenario happens almost every time a building collapses either intentionally or accidently. Some parts accelerate at less than 1 g, some parts at 1 g, others at more than 1 g. Again, jusdt because you don't understand the physics doesn't mean nobody else does. Do you think it is an anomoly that the freefall occurred for at least 2.5 seconds, and if not where has the precedent been set for this before. No, and there is no precedent since no other building of that size had been damaged by fires and two skyscrapers falling on it.

  17. Right, a percentage of change. Tell ya what, you want to make an argument, then post my words in context rather than being too afraid to. For once, trailer mechanic, make an argument. Uh, no....that's not what you wrote. Try again. And yes, I was a trailer mechanic and am proud of that. I gained much valuable experience that made me a better engineer when i got my degree. I still do some design and cosulting work on specialty trailers from time to time. I enjoy the challenge.
  18. They work until about 9k then they don't work anymore. How about the feefall anomoly Bill, you and old belgium boy still have not answered the simple question. Yet you claim to be so sure of the NIST report being so true and complete, it now says freefall of building 7 occured for at least 2.5 seconds. Was the freefall accelerartion of WTC7's colapse an anomoly in you mind, and if not where has the precedent been set for this before? I have asked you many, many times to explain how the debris from the top of the towers hit the ground well before the buildings finished collapsing even though they fell, according to you, at free-fall speed. As far as building 7, it is entirely possible due to a combination of the nature of the collapse and physics for a small area to not just fall but to be pulled down and briefly accelerate faster than 1 G. It can happen briefly but it cannot be sustained for any substantial length of time. To help you understand how this can be, think of a lever with a heavy weight on a short arm leveraging a smaller weight on a longer arm. I'm not saying this is exactly what happened, but it is a possibility and not the only one.

  19. Why do you say the Ruger can never be suppressed? I have seen more suppressed Rugers than any other model. IMO the Ruger is the best of the lot by far, suppressed or not. Best quality and ultra-reliable. Also, my past experience with Ruger factory support has been excellent when I had a small problem of wear in the trigger group in my 10/22 after 20 years and literally several hundred thousand rounds of ammunition fed through it.

  20. Nope, I didn't post your exact words. I didn't even make any up. I just posted a link to the thread YOU started in which the TITLE that YOU WROTE claims the GDP was expressed as a percentage. You even expresssed GDP as a percentage several more times within the thread. So, unless someone else has been hacking your computer and posting here for you, those are YOUR WORDS, not mine or anyone else's.

  21. You can't fly a human into a building. . Wingsuits. That would actually be gliding, but close enough. A person doesn't fly a glider? I guess it is purely semantics and open to individual interpretation. I think of flying as being done under power and gliding as being unpowered (other than gravity, air currents, and the initial energy to get to altitude.) I would call flying a glider "gliding". Others will undoubtedly differ.

  23. Says the acft structural expert who knows < a first year A&P student , yet tries to challenge 25+ year veterans. I never claimed to be an aircraft structural expert, unlike your claim. To be an expert you would need to know the mechanical properties of the common alloys used in aircraft structures, knowledge you proved to lack. You best get back to the tv.

  24. Sure. Too bad you don't have a clue as to what any of it means. Yea: - GDP - Market - Unemp data - Historical tax cut / increase data See, you still can't show me a major federal tax cut taht has led to anything but disaster and supposedly I can't read and extrapolate data. Start your little proff session by doing just that, a MAJOR FEDERAL TAX CUT THAT LED TO + THINGS, other than + deficit and debt. Hey, Dude, you're the one who thinks GDP is expressed in percentage. Point out where I stated that. The change is %. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3788559#3788559 You not only stated (mulitiple times), but you used it as a thread title.

  25. Dude. Not all off-hand ad-hominems rise to the level of "Oooh!! That's a PA!! I'm telling Mom!!" You take this shit much too personally. I will second that. Also, a PA to some (mods) is not a PA to the person it was directed at. For example, I am an ass. Always have been, always will be. I don't deny it.
