You aren't cute when you throw yourself at the cross you know.
It's all in the perspective, those are not adoring fans behind me and the noise is not cheers. Nuff said, ouch, I hate splinters

Please post them in the fiction sub forum, where it belongs.
Considering where I am that leaves the board wide open unless there is a kiddy section, then most of you are in the wrong area.
Later.

You lead a pretty sheltered life if you have never heard of that site before. It carries the same topics that pop uo here but they have a million more visits a day more that here.

I'll PM you the link as it is to a different forum, no sign up required.

That's not what I'm asking about. Previously you posted a picture which was a screenshot of the photo posted on a forum, and another one that looks like Facebook, with comments from the forum etc. I want to know where the actual photo is. What's the URL where that screenshot was taken at the very least.

Because conspiracy theories are all usually completely made up, at some point someone has to sit down and say "I'm just going to lie about this", which means somewhere that photo exists outside the context of the conspiracy theory. The photo here doesn't seem at all significant. It's just police cars on the street. And when I ask for where the photo came from, you just redirect me to links with people reposting the secondhand story you've posted. If it is a lie, your only evidence is more people believing the lie. Where's the source of the photo?

BadaBing! And there are just enough whackos who'll believe it and keep the fire burning.

But it's important to recognise that there's lying, and then there's just plain crazy. Though both should get the same reaction: a rueful head-shake and change of subject (unless you can walk away entirely).

Naw I got a job so I just don't have time to see how tinfoil sales are doing every day. I just wait for my quarterly dividend cheque to come in.

For every degree of longitude you live west of the center of your time zone, add 4 minutes to the sundial reading to adjust to clock time. If you live east of the center, then subtract 4 minutes for each degree.

Using the lamp standard in the photo as a reference.. 10:45 - 11:00ish

I don't have that info myself, that is why I gave you a youtube as the vid is a guy filming the photo. Did you want me to forward that question? The thread on glp might have an answer to that question. Last update I was was page 4 The vid in question was the OP. Post as an AC 9anonymous coward instead of the 'other one'

Nothing in all that writing? (on the screenshot) What would happen if he did a screenshot of the youtube page where he posted a vid of a photo he got. Who had the red pen? The comments would show if it was from a vid he posted.

You guys know Ottawa well.
Somebody could feed it into a sailboat navigation program, that is what they used to plot the meteor in Russia.

Your math is pretty good, Petros!
If you have a watch with a dial you face the sun with the hour hand pointed at it and noon will be due south. Works the same for AM or PM. Have no idea if that is helpful with shadows but it can't hurt.
