wcw43921 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I saw something like that in an episode of The Simpsons. Gil the hard-luck guy had one, looked like one of the first cell phones (size and weight of a brick) with a rotary dial. It was, perhaps, the only one he could afford.

My primary 'phone is a land-line. I have an antique flip-'phone, but I literally used it only for emergencies. Most of the time I don't even turn it on.

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Nobody can Drive in Portland Snow. https://www.wweek.com/outdoors/2021/02/12/hey-midwestern-transplants-you-cant-drive-in-portland-snow-either/ And Tri-Met, the local transit authority, has shut down everything. No buses, no light rail, no paratransit -- Nada. And it's better that way. although it bothers me that I can;t even walk oputside without running into visibility and cold issues, much less trying to keep my fotting in this mess.

I'm seeing much information about the composition, properties, and potential uses of experimental materials. So far I haven't found anything that confirms any of these materials are or are based on recoveries from UFO sites. If you can cite a specific passage from this document to that effect, or refer me to such documentation, I'd love to see it. Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yes, it is. That program also used those investigations as a basis from which to explore theoretical and practical ideas for aerospace engineering and security. But the documents still don't confirm any of that stuff came from recovered materials from UFO sites. Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
