Nuggets of Truth

[Mike Gorman]

The acid reflux chest pain reminds me of the time I thought I was having a heart attack, the pain went up my left arm just like the stereo-typical symptom they speak of, I went to the ER & a heart specialist looked at my EEG, he said I would like your heart, it is fine, you have acid reflux eh? Some types mimic heart trouble, so yes I can support that one at least.

Well this is certainly close to high-strangeness. Moneypenny on X isn't usually prone to hysterics, or fabrication, so quite what to make of this is, well....

🚨 I JUST WATCHED A PLANE DISAPPEAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES

Now this is hardly MH370, but it is pretty spooky. And I am no plane expert but I am hoping somebody has a plain explanation

I saw a small speck overhead, no noise and no trail. With my smartphone I zoomed in thinking it was a glider initially. And I checked my plane radar app and the only plane recorded nearby was a Piper Cherokee on a training flight - which I don't think fits this image?

But then mysteriously it suddenly disappeared right in front of my eyes, which I have slowed down on this video and you can clearly see a circular 'puff' or darker circle of cloud that appears to cover it as it disappears.

Tell me I am just being silly and that it just went behind a perfectly circular cloud?! I'm simply trying to get more eyes on this little video to get a better understanding

Please share so that I can try and get a few opinions on it... And do ask questions if you like. And of course I'm copying in the expert

To my photographicaly trained eyes this looks very much like an optical, technical "illusion".
Camera is focused on the plane in the far distant, but some movement of the framing puts the
dark objects (top of fence ?) from under to well into the frame, and focus change rapidly from
far away airplane to close by objects, and airplane is blurred out optically in that process,
and possibly disappear into the clouds before focus is restored to its distant location.
Look at the dark objects from right before airplane "disappear". Change of camera focus
is very clear, and is most likely to create the visual effect of a vanishing airplane.

Yes, it's quite suggestive to me that this plane (to me looks like a Boeing 757) simply went out of focus.

The River they tried to erase

And evidently the River Fleet isn't the only river hidden under London . . .
Some of the best known are:

River Fleet – The largest and most famous. It runs from Hampstead to the Thames at Blackfriars.
River Tyburn – Rose near Hampstead, flowed through what is now Regent's Park, past Buckingham Palace and into the Thames near Vauxhall Bridge.
River Westbourne – Still flows beneath west London. One remarkable section actually passes above the platforms at Sloane Square Underground station in a large iron conduit.
River Walbrook – Flowed through the heart of the old Roman City of London. It influenced where the Romans built parts of Londinium.
River Effra – Once ran through Brixton and Herne Hill before reaching the Thames at Vauxhall.
River Neckinger – Flowed through Bermondsey into the Thames.
River Falcon – Ran through Clapham and Battersea.
River Peck – Still has a few short open sections around Peckham.

Kailasa Temple - Entirely carved out of rock with just hammers and chisels

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hfldD22-xXE

This really deserves a longer video than the above short, so here's a link which gives a better, fuller account:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrB5rvEMyo0
11.23 mins
The Kailasanatha Temple in Ellora, Maharashtra, stands as the world’s largest monolithic structure, carved out of a single hill of basalt rock. Sculpted over 1,200 years ago by the Rashtrakuta dynasty, this rock-cut masterpiece leaves visitors in awe of its scale and intricacy. Spanning 300 feet in length and rising 96 feet high, this ancient temple complex has astounded generations with its artistry and ambition.

Part of the UNESCO-listed Ellora Caves, Kailasa Temple is a breathtaking example of ancient Indian architectural ingenuity. It showcases elaborate sculptures of Hindu deities, including many depictions of Lord Shiva, alongside other figures from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Bhagavad Purana. Despite its immense size, the temple was not built with imported materials but was carved directly from the mountain, removing an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 tonnes of rock — a process still shrouded in mystery.

Throughout the video, we explore the incredible craftsmanship of the temple’s creators and the enduring legacy of this architectural wonder. Questions about how the temple was conceived, chiselled, and completed persist, with some even suggesting that this could have been the work of extraterrestrials. That's a testament to the remarkable ingenuity and skill of ancient Indian builders and sculptors who created this unparalleled monument of devotion, artistry, and teChapters

Similar amazing structures exist in Ethiopia - the 'monolithic' Churches of Lalibela, hewn from solid rock. It's actually held in Ethiopian legend that most of the work was done by 'the angels' overnight. And who knows. It's hard to imagine that hammers and chisels alone accomplished this amazing engineering feat.

There are eleven such churches in total, dating back at least eight hundred years -- and they still hold daily services.

Missing a Tooth? Maybe a Nesbit will suffice

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MNI4QBLpcMU

Great idea given the negatives of root fillings, but not cheap by any means. I found this info on costs in the UK:
A single-tooth partial denture, often called a Nesbit or flipper tooth, costs £332.10 on the NHS (Band 3, the highest band) or between £400 and £1,200 if you go private. However, even if you're prepared to go for it, it's rarely available on the NHS :/

As the above short is of a dentist in Texas, a Nesbit partial denture in the USA typically costs between $350 and $1,600, depending on whether you visit a traditional dental office or use a direct-to-consumer lab.
