Please tell me that your article was a "scientific study or report". I
need the entertainment. At best, it's a summary of existing

You stated that:
"I have written scientific studies and reports."
If you have written more than one, where are they?
I also wrote papers for NASA and LLRL. But they were classsified.
You were in the USAF in the early 1960's. That's about 60 years ago.
If you had done some classified research during the 1960's, it surely
would have been de-classified by now.
I don't believe you wrote anything for NASA, LLRL and LBRL. The time
span when you were likely to have done any writing for them overlaps
your work history (Jan 1984 to Sept 2014). Other than a gap to
recover from a bicycle accident in late 2009, you worked full time
during this period. You would not have had sufficient time to write
and publish a proper scientific or technical paper. Also, judging by
your writing skills exhibited in rec.bicycles.tech, you would have
required considerable editorial assistance.
I worked for LBRL as well.
That should be LBNL, not LBRL. To bad I don't find NASA, LLRL, LBNL,
Analog Devices, and a few others places you claim to have worked, on
your online resume: <https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-kunich-22012/details/experience/>
And could have published papers on their accelerator but decided that turning my job over to post grads was a better idea because I had been hired there for my extreme high voltage experience and what they really needed was very high voltage and super
Baloney. You hate anyone and everyone with a degree, probably
including post graduate students.

Electrical charge does not move and therefore does not have a delay.

He didn't. If he did, he should be able to at least recall the subject
matter and summarize the abstract of the papers here - and as you note,
it would have been declassified long ago.

Correction - drunken driving accident. Tom may have had a bike accident,
but that wasn't the incident that was coincident with his two year gap.
I'm pretty convinced he did jail time for that since an arrest warrant
was issued for him for failure to appear for his drunk driving charge.
This would explain his lack of presence in forums as well as his
complaint that he had to sell all his bike stuff (to pay the fines).

I also note he claims to have this "extreme high voltage experience" yet nothing in his resume show that experience. Then too he claims they

tommy's alleged credentials wouldn't have a much of a learning curve to

he never actually worked at NASA, LLRL, LBNL, or Analog Devices.

Jeff, you really get tiresome. I'm sure that Flunky and Krygowski will say that those addresses work fine for them when they do not and cannot since they have a trailing ">" that changes the address to something that does not exist. Nothing more
You simply cannot stop yourself from talking about everything you know noyhing about. Does itreally make you feel that good being a fool?
Considering the fact that you fucked up you browser installation so bad >>> that it can't follow links that work for everyone else should make you >>> really proud.
Considering the fact that you work for people that don't give a damn what you do as long as you sign the paperwork tells us just how important your job is.
Important enough for them to keep me on for over ten years now and pay
me a lot of money to do it.
Tell us again how appending a ">" to the end of an adess makes it the same address? You claim to be an EE who can program should have no problem answering that.
Considering I haven't explained it to you yet I wouldn't be able to tell >you 'again', but the answer is simple - it doesn't. First off, Jeffs
link didn't simply put a angle bracket at the end, it put an angle
bracket at the beginning also.
Yep. The angle brackets don't work as delimiters unless there is a
matched pair of angle brackets.
Secondly, any browser app will look at
the link and exclude the common characters like brackets or quotes and >extract the link. All of these examples will work with a simple mouse
click (possible a crtl+click in some mail apps)

All those work as expected using Forte Agent. However, one of the
purposes of the angle brackets is to deal with spaces and special
characters in the middle of a URL. That's also the reason that online
news services replace spaces with "-" dash characters in the URL. For example, trying to use double quotes to deal with blanks results in non-functional URL's like these:
"https://www.hvtechnologies.com/the basics of time domain
reflectometry tdr"
https://www.hvtechnologies.com/"the basics of time domain
reflectometry tdr"
The angle brackets also prevent the spelling checker in Forte Agent
from attempting to spell check words in the URL. It will correctly
ignore spelling issues in anything that starts with http or https and
which is properly delimited by angle brackets. Without these, Forte
Agent will try to spell check everything after the first space in the
URL.
Unless you're tommy who somehow managed to fuck up a default browser >intsallation app.
Tom is not using a browser. There's no line in the header identifying
the software in any of his postings. For example:
User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird
is mising. Instead, he's probably using the news reader from his NNTP service (Newshosting.com).
<https://www.newshosting.com/newsreader/>
Another indication that he's using their news reader is the mess it
makes dealing with upper/lower case replies such as:
Subject: RE: Re: RE: Re: Disc's without power
And even if it is somehow screwing up the address:
- it should be simple enough for you to copy the link and remove the >brackets
- why is it only happening to you?
I think Jeff's right. The notion of cars parked at the curb in Gary, IN
but surrounded by forests of green weeds is pretty weird. So are the
forests of weeds growing through pavement in other images.
The image purportedly from Youngstown has trash containers that don't
match the company that does the collection (Waste Management). There's
bright sunlight on one house, but no corresponding shadow from adjacent houses. The roofs of the houses are amazingly perfect, etc. etc.
As I said, the article contained not one bit of actual data. A young
hack journalist hit on an idea and picked a near-random set of cities to slag. I do wonder how she got the fake images. I doubt a hack journalist would do them herself. Are there people one can hire cheaply to do such
work?

Yes. She designed them using one of several AI engines. For example:

Go to Microsoft Edge browser and Copilot. Ask the AI to:

Notice what the AI though "downtube shifters" look like. Hardly
realistic and on the wrong tube. Similar problems with pedals and

This is my first (and last) attempt to produce a run down

They are! AI while a useful tool tends to be copy/paste so textures etc are uniform, see also fake images of various famous people.
