LOL dude, come on... are you serious?
What is more logical? A guy magically melts through iron bars, or a guy walks through a partially open gate and it just looks funny because of the filming conditions?
YOUR explanation makes zero sense. MY explanation is 100% plausible and you've done nothing to debunk it or counter it. You just said, "it's wrong."
YOU can admit to being wrong, you know.... it doesn't hurt, I promise....LOL...

I didn't give any explanation
I never said it was magical
only that it is unexplained
and your explanation is completely countered and debunked by the vid itself and by the screenshot
all anybody has to do is keep stopping and starting it as he comes thru and anyone can see he didn't come thru the middle
your explanation is bogus - a total joke - lol

one more screenshot
obviously this is a 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚
and it shows him 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴
𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙙
if you look closely at the screenshot you can see that it shows his hand pushing the "metal bar" and the "metal bar" is all bent
the bar is not metal - it's paper
you can also see that the other "metal bars" are paper if you look closely
nobody on YT or on the Travel Channel figured that out -
I was the only one who did
I just posted the explanation one second ago on YT in the comments under the name samuel dudorich - not my real name
.
100% not a ghost or anything supernatural. Completely normal and plausible explanation.
Quote: TigerWuI watched that ghost video again. The only other possible explanation is that he was in front of the fence/gate the entire time; i.e., coming from the left on the property, and the "night vision" of the camera created artifacts to make it look like the bars were in front of him while he was moving perpendicular to the camera. I'm not a video tech guy so I don't know the proper terminology to describe all of that, but I've seen stuff like that happen in other videos before, where people are walking around in front of low light security cameras and they look like "ghosts." One I saw recently was a guy jogging down the street and he looks transparent. Exact same situation as this; a security camera at night.

yes, completely plausible explanation
my explanation 2 posts up
not yours
your explanation of him coming thru the middle with your drawing was total crapola
the "metal bars" are actually paper
don't try to pretend you figured it out
you didn't
I did

100 million fighter jet missing in S. Carolina.
Quote:The U.S. Marine Corps lost an F-35B fighter jet over the weekend. At around 2pm EST on Saturday, the Marine pilot ejected from the jet after putting it into auto-pilot. The jet’s transponder isn’t working, authorities can’t find it, and they’re asking the public for help tracking down the $100 million jet.
“If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600,” Joint Base Charleston said in a tweet about the incident. “Based on the jet’s last-known position and in coordination with the FAA, we are focusing our attention north of JB Charleston, around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion.”

That's an infrared camera with night vision. The man entered through an opening between the gate doors, but his body heat was not fully detected until he was past the gate and closer to the sensor. Which would explain why his image became more solid the closer he got to the camera.

no,
my earlier screenshots got deleted for some reason - so here's another one
take a look at the "metal bars" - you will see that they are bent, or curved -
the "metal bars" are ACTUALLY PAPER
he pushed thru the paper and you can see where he did it that the "metal bar" that is not really metal is bent
that's how it was faked
.
And I don't think it had anything to do with paper bars, which those bars don't look bent to me, they look as they should.
Anyway, I wasted a little time trying to find the interview and could not. Maybe one of you could.

And I don't think it had anything to do with paper bars, which those bars don't look bent to me, they look as they should.
several of the "bars" look bent
but if you look at the "bar" 2nd from our right from the middle - where he pushed in - about waist high - it is very obviously bent - more than the others - because he pushed in there
look about waist high - that 2nd "bar" from the middle is almost touching the first "bar" from the middle
there is much less distance between those 2 "bars" than any other 2 "bars" - because they're paper
.
One of the comments that references the interview and debunking refers to the guy's jumping from the left wall?
Quote: MDawgIdeally if someone cares to find this referenced interview with the Filipino guy who performed the stunt, or the record of how it was debunked, we would know for sure.
it's also possible the guy would lie
to try to make himself appear more talented than he actually is

Target is closing 9 stores because of theft - some of it by organized gangs
it's a blow to those communities where people rely on Target for their discount prices
it's a brave new world - the grab and go contingent is very powerful - disrupting the norms of everyday life
Nordstrom and Whole Foods have also closed stores because of this
retailers call this "shrink" - and it has caused big problems for a great many of them -

We had riots here in 1967 which is a long time ago in a certain part of town that had a lot of businesses and there was a lot of looting they completely cleaned out store after store and to this day 56 years later most of the stores never reopened because they said screw, it it's not worth it. So for all the enjoyment these thieves get out of some TV they steal they just screwed themselves on having a store in their neighborhood.
I picked up something from Home Depot last week and this Home Depot is in a really really nice neighborhood and I asked the guy who brought my items to my car about shoplifting and he said oh it's horrible. He said people come in and load up carts and just walk out the door with it and if you catch them in the store you can legally stop them but as soon as I get into the parking lot they can leisurely load their van and leisurely drive away cuz there's nothing the store can do. He said if you try to stop them in the parking lot you get fired on the spot.

this is also a cause of inflation for stores that don't close because of this
stores have to raise prices to make up for the losses

The funny thing is in 1900 every department store in the United States had the merchandise behind the counter where the patron could not even touch it because they were terrified of shoplifters. And indeed shoplifting was always a problem once the customers could get their hands on the stuff. But now it's gotten totally out of control so those old timer people were absolutely right you cannot trust the General Public because they will steal if given the chance. Even the good people given the temptation will often steal.
A few years ago, CVS removed all their tobacco products, which marketeers had told them were essential to their business. They survived.

Same here, but I'm just saying why not try to make it pointless for it to be sent at all. It still comes into my junk mail. I think the junk mail is the actual mail the service hasn't deleted automatically. There may be a lot more that doesn't even get to the junk mail.

Here's how it works.
Email from spamalot is sent to me. It bounces back once to a real address, then is sent to me with the real address to me. I now block that real address. He can't send any more to me from that real address, but if he changes his email it has to be a real email because anything else will bounce to nowhere, or a wrong address entirely. Spamalot has to have a new real address to keep sending them to me because they all bounce back otherwise. He could easily need thousands of real email boxes just to do a decent return. Because you need thousands of emails (so I hear ) just to get one good return.

I - personally - use a few hundred email addresses. (I don't know what meets your criteria for 'real', but they all accept email from the outside world.)
If I were spamalot, I could create several million similarly real email addresses for about $14, and automatically select one to automatically vouch for the spam I'm sending.
Delaying my autoapproval is expensive; if you block spam because the bounced spam was approved and resent too quickly, that could work.

I assume you don't visit hundreds of email boxes to check them. So, you must forward them automatically. I think that could be easily spotted by people looking to end spam. Maybe?: I'm just guessing.
No letterhead, not once did they say USPS, two words were misspelled and the return email address was not the post office. And I'm sure people fall for this crap everyday that's why they do it.

The email servers I use support aliasing, vaguely similar to forwarding.
I can set up a number of addresses that all go to the same mailbox.
dieter@ and dieter+greene@ and dieter.@ all get there.
(This is absolutely standard on gmail & friends.)
I can manually add about as many more as I care to with different text. (This is standard on most email systems.)
Many of the spam emails I get come from something like asdfghjkli45678$_&+@... which I believe to be an automatically generated alias

I posted the above in February and now we're coming up on the time change again and it'll be a year since I turned my clock 2 hours ahead of everybody else. It's been one of the best things I've ever done in my life, I'm never going back to being on everybody else's time. There's so many benefits I can't count them all. I can never be late for anything, if I have to be someplace to get in line I can get there super early when for me it's not early at all. And of course the biggest asset is the sun doesn't go down till after 11:00 p.m. for me in June July and August. I never have to worry about getting everything done outside, there's always enough time. And of course in the winter in November January and February when it gets dark here for everybody else at 5:20 p.m. The sun doesn't go down for me till 7:20. It's absolutely wonderful, it's like why didn't I think of this 30 years ago. LOL it's so nice in December to be able to eat dinner at 6:45 and look out the window and it's still daylight. Or to go to the store at noon and when I get there it's not crowded because it's really 10:00 a.m.. Or to remember that I'm supposed to call somebody today but they close at 5:00 p.m. And it's 4:45 p.m. But for me it's only 2:45 p.m. So I have lots of time. The benefits are really endless.
Apple has a smallish store in the mall near me where I often take walks
the store is always packed and very often has a line to get in - they will only allow so many customers in at one time
when there is a new generation phone being offered, such as now, the line to get in is often 20 deep
I've never seen anything like that from a small store before
Apple does about $ 394 billion in sales, they're closing in on half a trillion
Walmart has the highest volume of any corporation at $ 600 billion
but Walmart sells thousands of products - Apple sells only a few - it's volume almost doubles that of its strongest competitor - Samsung - it's popularity is unreal

This is one of the stupidest things you've ever said.
EDIT: You're eating dinner at 6:45 "EB time" but in the real world it's actually 4:45. So why don't you just NOT change the clock and eat dinner when the clock says 4:45? Why don't you just go to the store when the clock says 10:00 instead of changing it to 12:00? You're still doing things at the exact same "time," you're just making the numbers on the clock different. Doesn't matter if it's two hours ahead, or 12 hours, or 18 hours. It's still the same time. There are zero benefits to what you're doing. Nothing about it makes sense. Then again, "not making sense" is your stock and trade, so I guess I'm not really surprised.

Time is fluid. Why is it okay for someone in NYC to say it is noon, while it is only 9 AM in Tucson? If I get out of bed right now, I'd be considered an early riser, while a person still in bed in NYC sleeps in late.
What you consider the passing of time is really just the movement of some hands on a watch.
I took Bob's idea and perfected it. As usual, he thinks small and doesn't realize the magnitude of his discovery.

There was one sender that the unsubscribe did not work. I made sure to unsubscribe all my emails. The block email did not work. I was receiving email from a random sender email generator.
The block list was approaching 100.
After the 3rd complaint to the FTC, they stopped completely.
That's unfair, unless you've read all his other posts. Shall I send you some links?Quote: TigerWuQuote: EvenBobQuote: EvenBobHere's the much anticipated result of me turning my clock ahead 2 hours for winter daylight savings time. It's been a resounding success and I'm always going to do it now.

I posted the above in February and now we're coming up on the time change again and it'll be a year since I turned my clock 2 hours ahead of everybody else. It's been one of the best things I've ever done in my life, I'm never going back to being on everybody else's time.

This is one of the stupidest things you've ever said.

There are zero benefits to what you're doing. Nothing about it makes sense. Then again, "not making sense" is your stock and trade, so I guess I'm not really surprised.

DST and our UK equivalent BST is itself a bit daft and pointless. If I was King of the World, we would ALL use GMT, or Universal Time as the Computer techies would have it, all year round.
EB's idea is just as sound as whoever invented DST. But he misses the obvious opportunity. He could use CFT (Cat Feeding Time) and get up when his cats wake him for breakfast. Who needs clocks?

EDIT: You're eating dinner at 6:45 "EB time" but in the real world it's actually 4:45. So why don't you just NOT change the clock and eat dinner when the clock says 4:45?

Because that gives me no advantage. The sun still goes down at 5:15, I don't want the sun to go down at 5:15 in the winter I want it to go down at 7:15. If I have a doctor's appointment at 11:00 a.m., that's too early for me, I'd rather have it be at 1:00 p.m.. In September I don't want to have to rush when I'm doing outdoors to get done by 8:00 p.m. because it gets dark. According to my clock the sun doesn't go down till 10:00 p.m. In September which gives me plenty of time. The fact that you don't understand any of this isn't my fault. I do find it entertaining that you label the things you don't understand as 'stupid', you would have made a great teacher in the 18th century.

Eggxactly. bobs cats don't need a clock to tell them when it is feeding time or bedtime. Why do you? Kool people don't use watches or calendars. Don't need them. Don't want them.

"Hello, Doctor. Can I have an appointment for 1:00 pm please, but can you make it my one pm and not yours?.... Let me explain .... What do you mean you don't understand.... Can I see a different Dr that does understand.... Pah forget it. I don't want to see a medic that can't even tell the time"
"Can I get an Uber for 1:00pm my time?"
"WTF time do you call this?"

Cool people don't wear watches, but they are even more aware of time than we are because being on time is important to them.
