    I'm not a metallurgist, so I have to ask...

    Isn't that 20% difference in temperature significant to the claim he's debunking? I mean 20% is a lot. If we're talking about water, 20% is the difference between not boiling at all , and completely vaporised.

    I'm not a truth-er, but I am a through-and-through sceptic. If you're trying to debunk a claim with very specific parameters, knowingly going 20% outside of those parameters doesn't help your credibility.

    Nah the difference is not that huge. You can forge steel down through red hot at 800 C.

    If you took it down 300 degrees, he would have had to use two fingers instead of one.

    I don't know why people bother trying to debunk the conspiracy theorists.  They are not interested in the facts, they are not interested in the truth, they are only interested in making noise.  And it is like a religion to them.  No proof will ever be enough proof for them.  None.  So don't bother.

Non alcoholic cocktails #3

A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml  Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run.

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run. This extraordinary speech (and attendant meme)  is one of them.  The other will be if belowtheline come on-line again.
