Sevco seeing immediate rewards from their meltdown as they are given two first half penalties against The Binos. -
Season 21/22

The bottom line is that Aberdeen have been the better side in both games so far this season, and that Sevco were fortunate to get a point each time. -

A really good signing for you. Our goals against went down when he signed. They went up when he left, then came back down when he resigned. Wins most battles in the air, and can chip in with 2-3 goals. Not too bad carrying the ball out from the back, but his long passes usually go for goal kicks.

It certainly would be! My ice cream is going to get freezer burn. (The jelly will keep.) All Scottish clubs have to realise that English clubs have silly money to spend on potential, and should be holding out for as much as possible. The bottom line is that Sevco needs the money a lot more. Also, Ramsay is only 18 (and already playing for the Scotland Under 21's). Aberdeen have a bidding war coming. On the back of 2 record breaking sales last season (3M+ for McKenna and 2M for Cosgrove) Cormack has to hold his nerve.

Meaning that the lines of latitude on the flat earth model are flat and circular, as opposed to the curved lines of latitude on the globe model (but you knew that). -

Yes All I was saying is that that you can control a vessel to travel in any direction on a compass. Probably not. Why don't you just say what it is you have to say? -

My 'booster' was a full shot of Pfizer, so not sure why they're referring to it as such. -

The vessel would be on a 'circular' course. The 'circular' course would occur because the vessel had a power source (wind, etc.) and a compass. As kids, we were taught that Magellan circumnavigating the earth proved a globe, but it clearly doesn't. -

Ontario's numbers have been hovering around 10,000 because of testing capacity. The real number is thought to be over 100,000. -

The model would be similar to a dart board lying flat on a table. The lines of latitude would indeed be circular. It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; Isaiah 40:22 -

The experiment with the sticks and shadows ASSUMES that the sun is 93 million miles away. However, Flat Earthers know that the sun is a lot smaller and a lot closer than we've been 'taught'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the most common alleged proofs quoted for the spherical Earth theory is the Eratosthenes sticks and shadows experiment. Many people may remember NASA spokesman Carl Sagan presenting this experiment by using a map of Egypt with two obelisks attached and showing their resulting shadows. The story goes that around 250 B.C. a Greek mathematician and philosopher named Eratosthenes noted that at noon during the Summer Solstice in Syene, the Sun cast no shadow and the rays could reach straight to the bottom of his well, yet meanwhile in Alexandria a vertically standing metal rod cast a significant shadow. Eratosthenes, Carl Sagan, and other globe proponents reason that this result is impossible on a flat Earth. To quote Carl Sagan, "If at a certain moment each stick casts no shadow at all, that is perfectly easy to understand provided the Earth is flat. If the shadow at Syene is a certain length, and the shadow at Alexandria is the same length, that also makes sense on a flat Earth. But how could it be, Eratosthenes asked, that at the same instant there was no shadow at Syene and a very substantial shadow at Alexandria? The only answer (he claimed) was that the surface of the Earth is curved." After reaching this conclusion, Eratosthenes then famously factored the length of the two shadows with his assumed distance to the Sun and recorded a measurement of the globe Earth's circumference close to what heliocentrist astronomers still use today. The fact of the matter is, however, that Eratosthenes, Sagan, and others are simply incorrect in their assumption that this would only be possible on a curved Earth. In reality, the exact same results occur on a flat Earth with a local Sun. Eratosthenes’ calculations were made assuming the Sun to be millions of miles away so that its rays would fall perfectly parallel even in points as divergent as Syene and Alexandria. Anyone familiar with the phenomenon known as crepuscular rays, however, knows full well that the Sun's rays simply do NOT fall perfectly parallel, especially at such distant points, rendering the entire argument moot. Furthermore, using sextants and plane trigonometry, by measuring the Sun’s angle at two points on Earth simultaneously and factoring their distance from each other, the Pythagorean theorum reveals that the Sun is NOT millions of miles away, but instead less than a few thousand. High altitude balloon footage has also filmed lighting hot-spots on clouds further proving the Sun to be local and acting as a spotlight. Therefore if globe believers wish to be honest, they must admit it is their faulty assumption that only a distant Sun with parallel rays could produce such results which has led to their faulty conclusion of a curved Earth, because Flat Earthers have always maintained that the Sun was local, and the very existence of crepuscular rays render the entire experiment invalid. -

Now, I know that you're not a fan of Eric Dubay, and I know that you don't subscribe to his flat earth model... but humour me. If the earth was 'flat' and stationary, does this model work? Thank you for your time. (Only 15 minutes... )
