It might seem good hearted, does it not imply giving all your wealth to the church is your most ideal option? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser, "Communications" and "space exploration" Since it is at a different frequency than light, different materials are transparent to it / it will be absorbed by different things than visible light. I suppose you could use it to beam power from place to place, or maybe cook food from over a mile away... "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

They caught a big break when people saw this guy go into a FedEx store. But I gotta wonder about the FedEx guy. With the whole city on high alert for suspicious packages , a guy walks in wearing pink gloves and this ridiculous wig to mail two packages whithin Austin. What does the FedEx guy do? He logs in the package bombs and sends them on their way. One of those two bombs blew up in a sorting facility, but thankfully no one was hurt. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Not defending this particular FedEx guy, but I can only imagine the strange and unusual clients they get sometimes. I'm guessing they have a corporate policy to serve the customer, not be suspicious of them. But you would still have to hope, if there had already been at least one explosion in the area from a package, they MIGHT have questioned his weird disguise. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

At least one? There had been FOUR at the time , three in the previous couple of days. Since the bombs were being delivered in packages, I think if I was in the package business I'd be a little more aware. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

I'm on the same page as BBB. I'm not sure if you can target oddly dressed people. Maybe it's from living in too many big cities. It's just not unusual enough. I wouldn't be shaking any boxes though. However if the police told workers to put aside any packages from any people they found suspicious, that might be useful. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
