"The times of the flares were 21:28:03.5 and 21:30:26.6 UTC"
So, if you could see our Sun at those times (+- 5.25), or you could see the moon, you could see it. Other reports indicated that it was clearly reflected off the moon also, which would be expected.
Check the star chart for that time. If Sagittarius was visible, it's likely the flash was too.
Your repeated question of where are we looking is kind of redundant. We have a full view of the sky at all times. The location of the observer is key to this though. I have no idea where you are, so we may be standing on opposite sides of the planet looking up. For the galactic center, check the star charts for your location and local time, for visibility of Sagittarius A. From my location, I'll be able to see it on Dec 21, 2012, around 2pm, low to the south. It'll be kinda bright, so unless the sun happens to burn out I won't be seeing much other than blue skies.
The difference between that and say a bullet? Not too much, except for the gravitational influence it would have. Kinda something along the style of Tunguska incident. The hole would be trivial at that point.
There will be some very upset folks in the future. Eventually, we will meet up with some ancient space traveling race, and they've already mapped 10x our visible universe. We'll find out that the the magnetic alignment of North and South, universally South is considered "up", and our solar system is on a weird tilt compared to other populated systems. Because of that tilt, it's knocked all of our planets on weird axis tilts, and has made humans deformed by universal standards. They'll also explain that because of these deformities, we had been a tourist attraction for millennia. 90% of the UFO sitings were actually visitors taking pictures. The other 10% were just nutjobs misidentifying other natural things. And, the Roswell incident was a huge practical joke, where they dropped something resembling a weather balloon with funny writing on it, just to watch how we'd react.
Oh ya, and they never made any crop circles. Those were all just humans playing practical jokes on each other.:)
Wait until you see the practical joke they have planned for Dec 21, 2012. It'll have people talking for years.:) They've had that planned for a while.
But, back to your topic, if a star directly up from the South pole did the same thing, then the southern hemisphere would see it. (obviously).
Actually, the example of my friend was to demonstrate that a civilian possessing a weapon is not in itself hazardous. In a situation like that, it's more likely that hand to hand methods would have been more appropriate. I'm guessing no one saw what he was doing, and/or the were accomplices.
The El Al incident referenced didn't happen on an aircraft. It happened at the ticketing counter, in the "unsecured" area of the airport. The good ol, "anyone can walk through here with a gun" area.
Actually, I have walked through there with a gun.:) I was transporting a weapon to carry on a later cross country drive. The trip wasn't just to transport it though.
"The buildings that comprised the Soldier Family Readiness Center sit on top of a hill. Civilian police officer Sgt. Kimberly Munley, who was nearby doing routine daily maintenance on her patrol car when the gunshots rang out, was able to approach the scene using one of the buildings as cover. "
"Mark Todd, another civilian officer, rushed up the hill and began firing at Hasan."
"Around this time, Fort Hood Police Sgt. Kimberly Munley got the call of "shots fired." The SRP isn't on Munley's beat; she was in the area because her vehicle was in the shop."
So, yes, an armed civilian, who was in the area. Munley wasn't on duty, providing security services to that location. She was with her patrol car at the shop.
I looked around a little. I didn't find what Todd was doing. If I remember right though, he was doing traffic control nearby.
New York reduced their subway crime by increasing the uniformed law enforcement presence there.
I've only seen a few air marshals that I positively identified as such. One of them, I only knew because I was sitting beside him on a long flight. I think they intentionally sat me there, because I was pissy about the flight. Instead of a direct cross country flight, the rebooked me on a nice long circle around the country. 5 hours in the air became 18 hours on 3 different flights. I was very much less than entertained for obvious reasons, and was trying to negotiate (fairly politely, but still pissed) for better seats. On the last flight, I got an exit row seat beside him. No, it was not a formal escort.:) It could have been a coincidence, but I kinda doubted it. My request to be moved up to first class with the gate agent was answered with a price tag of $10,000, so I said no, and they reassigned my seat to there. If that was punishment, I didn't really mind. I was in a decent seat. Well, a crappy hard seat, but it was probably the safest one on the plane.
Thats why I said out of the context of the airplane. Ya, one of the places you wouldn't want an object flying near the speed of sound through the wall is exactly there.:)
Unfortunately, that's a completely ambiguous term. Did you, or could you, scare someone with you plan or action?
I won't argue that it wasn't a bad thing to do on an airplane. It was. Fire in a confined space is always bad.
When I was in school, I knew of kids who lit small firecrackers on school buses. They'd get in trouble, and usually suspended for a few days. Now, with the current state that we're in, they could be considered terrorists, and spend the rest of their life put away somewhere. Why? For a mostly harmless prank. I say mostly, because it could cause harm, but usually didn't.
I agree with your method to mitigate the situation. For us to stop being the enemy, we'd have to stop being the enemy. As long as the United States has military operations or is funding actions outside of the United States, we will be considered the enemy to someone. That would also break some of our ties to other countries who we are currently supporting which in itself would make new enemies. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
If the situation was different, would we act any differently? What if there were a military superpower, who had troops and equipment at our borders, and was running military operations in our country? What if they decided that the way we did things was wrong, and that they had a prolonged military campaign inside of our borders to enforce their ways? Some people would stand up and fight. Some people would passively accept it.
Or, the simple summary, one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
I don't see an action like blowing up a firecracker (i.e., very small explosive) on an aircraft to be a justifiable method for any side. Those were innocent civilians, who had nothing to do with any action. Unfortunately, others see anyone who resides with or agrees with their enemy to be their enemy.
Take this argument out of the airplane context, and think about it.
At the Fort Hood shooting, who took out the shooter? He started the shooting in the middle of a group of well trained, but unarmed individuals. Who took him out? An armed civilian. When you take away the ability of people to defend themselves, they are left defenseless.
Not to say a shootout on an aircraft would be a good thing. That's the last thing anyone would want to be involved in. A very dense population, with no place to run to, in an environment that is more dangerous to shoot in. Anyone who would consider such a thing would already consider, their odds of success are much smaller in any group of people who can defend themselves.
Before 9/11, I knew a guy who worked personal security. He brought his sidearm on board a couple times. Once was accidentally, where he forgot it was in his bag (he thought he moved it to checked luggage) and discovered it in his carry-on mid-flight. The other, he discovered he carried it to the checkpoint, but with his credentals, he was told to bring it on with him. He was asking to be allowed to check the bag, and was told "oh, you're clear, go."
Neither time did he create an incident, but if an incident did happen, he would have been the armed civilian who could have ended the situation.
It isn't just on the aircraft where the situation is amazingly dangerous. Consider the 2002 LAX shooting at the El Al terminal. He was shot by an airline security guard, who was one of the few armed people in the area.
As someone who's spent a good bit of time in airports, the ratio of people I'd actually want to see naked is pretty slim most of the time.
And, consider if you're sitting beside the 400 pound guy. His fat rolls may only be contained by his pants. Do you really want *that* in your lap for the entire flight? [shivers]
This does not take into account his advanced distribution network, planetary time dilation field generator, and bag of infinite holding.
With those tools in place, every present can be delivered in what would appear to be a fraction of a second to us. He doesn't do it all by himself. The "Santa Claus" image is actually a generalization of the appearance of an advanced species. They handle the delivery, assigned sectors based on population of "good" children. They stopped the "bad" children delivery of coal decades ago to optimize the delivery patterns.
The reindeer are a common question posed. They are not in fact reindeer. They the antigravity and propulsion systems, simply shaped to look like reindeer and a sleigh.
Did I mention that the entities known as "Santa Claus" is also not of this world, but brings happiness and joy to the juvenile population of the planet. It is, of course, a conspiracy where the children are being educated to be "good" obedient servants for when the harvesting time comes. When that happens, they will take the "good" children between the ages of 8 to 18, and put them to work on the alien masters ships.
I for one welcome our alien Santa Claus overlords. More over, I hereby request a ride off this rock.
I sent the link over to someone who said "You wouldn't believe what I did the other night". That was a couple months ago, but I'm sure she'll appreciate it.:)
Myself, I don't have a lot of call for plugs nor dildos. Maybe a TENS powered cock ring would keep things interesting, but that kinda scares me. I was reusing pads on my back, and one lost adhesion, and gave me a nasty shock. I'd hate to feel that in more sensitive areas. I may as well taunt a cop with a taser.:)
Well, "pagan" is a blanket term for anything not judeo-christian, typically all those "other" polytheistic religions. But yes, kind and loving isn't exactly the best way to describe most of them.:) The same can be said of the old testament "God" too. Well, unless catastrophic floods, plagues, and vengeance is "kind".
For the sake of the *nix and open source context, it is true though.
The false gods (Microsoft VAR) are all among us. Fear them not, for they hold no real power.
So say the gods. So say we all.
Actually, ascension isn't a Stargate creation. It's common among many theologies, that in death you will join your god (or gods) in their plane of existence. For the sake of keeping this simple for everyone, in Christian mythology, the good will rise (ascend) to heaven, to spend eternity with God. The riff-raff would be sent away to other less desirable places. This would be the idea of being in a dark tunnel at death, and walking towards "the light". Some theologies believe in reincarnation, which is simply spending time with God (or gods) after death, and then they will be placed in a new body to live life again. Ahh, a good old infinite loop, rather than a defined path (born new, live life, die, be with "God").
Stargate simply removed the mysticism of dying and going "somewhere", to leaving the mortal bonds to a body, and going to a higher plane of existence. They didn't remove the precise mystery of how it's done, but eluded that the ancients did understand how to do it. They just failed to leave the textbook "How To Ascend 101".:) That would make it too easy for the sake of the show. Everyone would ascend when they wanted to, rather than taking years of introspect and meditation to do it "right". Obviously, if the entire culture could ascend, they did speak of it to each other, and shared that knowledge.
That's one I hadn't heard before, but I'll be sure to remember it.:)
Of course, it's all a complete mangling of the meaning of Nietzsche's quote, but hey, taking a single sound bite (or quote) out of context is fun.:) I'm surprised some particular mainstream news organizations don't piece together individual words to make something to talk about. There's a conspiracy newsletter that I ended up on, that does this all the time. They'll take a single factual event, and wrap a huge conspiracy around it. I got on the list when I wrote to them to question their credentials, which were obviously bogus.
The original statement was regarding the Linux universe, and Linus created the core of it.
I won't argue that there were others who came before him. That's the wonders of polytheism. You can recognize the gods and goddesses for what they've done, and respect them accordingly. You obviously understand the older gods, and respect them accordingly.
Actually, Linux would be related closer to "pagan" or polytheistic religions. We believe in multiple gods (software authors), although there is a high deity (Linus) who created the universe (Linux) where the rest reside. Some of the other deities work not only in his universe, but in others as well (other *nix's, and even Windows).
The gods are kind and benevolent. Not only do they bestow their gifts upon us (software), but they show us the way (source) so we can ascend to their level.
Not only do they welcome ascension, but the know that no being, god or mortal, is without flaw. They listen when we say there is a problem (bug report) and accept our suggestions (patches) to make the universe better.
Praise be to the gods and goddesses.
And to you, on the cusp of the celebration of the Winter Solstice, I wish you and yours the best. May we help educate the nonbelievers (monotheistic computer followers) into seeing the light (the world which is *nix).
If I recall correctly, yes. There was some work on electrical stimulation on spinal injury patients, and one slightly wrong setting would give women orgasms. Oops.:) The doctor is selling the device, now named "Orgasmatron", for women who can't climax. Of course, it costs a fortune, but hey, for mind blowing orgasms on demand, some people would pay for it.
I've known some women who report similar results with a "TENS" unit. That's external stimulus, but the same idea. I have a TENS unit for my back, and it creates a pretty weird sensation. Well, unless you consider involuntary muscle movements normal. I don't know what the placement of the electrodes is, for an orgasm. I know what makes my back feel better though.

I guess you could say "Some people" use it that way.
