I lived in TN. I live in TX. And a few other states. I've been through east Missouri many times. I like corn I just don't wan to live in it. Truthfully they are all kinda shithole states, along with about 47 others plus a couple protectorates. :LOL:

If you've been to Missouri and the thing you took away from it was corn you definitely were in the wrong part of Missouri.

I like southern Missouri myself. There's big deer up north, but I've never been a trophy hunter. You can't eat horns. I prefer medium/small size ridge running, acorn eating does.

I actually want to get up to that area for a look around one of these days. The eight pointers I took here weren't much bigger than a good sized northern MN doe. The does here are like long legged dogs. Also not a trophy hunter but I'll still shoot 'em, eat em, and save the rack unless it's so big and gross it's inedible. Last buck I shot was a med 8 pointer and was really good eating

Well if you come up, hit me up. I'll show you around the joint.

Right on, thank you for the offer Floyd! Def will, except I've had @JackBootedThug sending me beautiful videos of WV today too, lol. Been wanting to see the Ozarks and WV for a couple years now but I'm mired down with property taxes upcoming. Pretty much my biggest yearly expense plus I just paid 2k out of pocket for dental work. If I was working full time I could swing it, then I'd have the money but not the time.

One of these days maybe. I'll take you down to Kimberling City. If I'm not still persona non grata down there. 🙄 :dunno:

See my previous examples of water that didn't settle to a flat plane.

You're right, but the mechanism by which it didn't isn't gravity. Gravity doesn't settle water into a curve, except theoretically (and notwithstanding photo 'proof').

How precise is your ruler or your eyes? E.g., how small of a deviation can the measure? That's my point. It's a restatement because in once case you're saying "I can't measure a curve in the earth around me with my eyes" and "I can't measure a curve in the water with my eyes." They both amount to the statement that according to the precision of your measuring devices you can not detect a curve. That is a fine statement I think. I take issue with you then extending that statement to "with any precision measuring device or any measurement method, we will detect no curve", which is what you're doing when you insist that water will always be perfectly flat because your ruler and eyes tell you so in the bathtub.

As you know, physics changes at the infinitesimally small level anyways so I don't think it's worth arguing this point. The fact is there are only dubious methods and evidence of detecting the supposed curvature of water.

Yeah, I see what you did there. Keep in mind my pic was a screenshot from my phone uploaded to imgur and the original could have been a phone too. I've seen some very good quality cell phone pics of space lately.

Point being - all these people cannot be "in on it" and I'm still not sure how most all of the governments on Earth are "in on it". :dunno:

I suppose it could sound like that if you're skeptical and unfamiliar with the relevant physics

You think I'm just uniformed, and that could be true. But I encourage you to likewise question whether the myriads of 'scientific' explanations for why the world we live on is not as it appears are in fact leading you astray from the truth. Unless you believe everything taught in a university is infallible, it is a worthwhile intellectual exercise at least.

I don't think the vast majority of people are in on anything. I suspect that a handful of people realize that the common understanding of our earth and solar system isn't entirely true or maybe is even entirely false.

Gravity settles water to equilibrium. On a round earth, equilibrium is curved

Well the second part of that is certainly true but I thought you were saying before that it is Big Gov that was hiding the fact that the Earth was actually flat and proactively creating loads of fake pictures and videos so we would all think it is a globe. For some reason. :dunno:

Or were you more saying that we should trust our visible surroundings only, and because neither of us have actually flown up high enough to confirm otherwise, we should hold to the assumption that everything is flat?
