Wrong answer. "It would be your fault for not interviewing properly. Hiring is risky, and you don't know what you're going to get. I can assure you that nothing like that has ever happened with a company that has hired me, as you can see from my resume and verify on your own. I feel my skills and experience are an ideal match, and I would suggest that you should think seriously about the risks of selecting a different candidate."

@lymanstoneky yep

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@ToraBrinn hell yeah dude

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

i already conceded that it's possible. i'm not interested in your presupposition that it therefore did occur; there's zero evidence to support that except that you Want It To Be True

you can no more prove the efficacy of S-band transmission from the moon than i can. it's a stupid thing to argue about. it's perfectly reasonable for someone to not find it credible.

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@Lordmiles I know exactly what treasure you should seek, and where it is

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

as for Neil's general comments here: you asked for a photo, I gave you a photo, the conversation is over!

well, no. no it isn't. in a court of law you don't just throw photos at the jury and say CASE DISMISSED

the jury want to know, and should want to know, what are these photos? where did they come from? who took them?

if the answer is "opposing counsel took them" -- well, you have a problem here, Neil, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. the chain of custody of this evidence is a problem.

it's not crazy to ask this question, and it's not crazy to object to the evidence provided. it would stand to reason, Neil, that if this Definitely Did Happen, you'd have more to go on than just insulting people who don't take your word for it.

so, that last point isn't evidence of anything other than: the most high profile defenders of the official story here are transparently acting in bad faith.

it's a lot of smoke. there's probably a fire.

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

what i will say about this, and i honestly don't care either way, is that the official story seems to be extremely unlikely.

if you want to believe the official story, that's fine, i can't go to the moon and demonstrate the signal scattering of S-band microwaves. but it's certainly not kooky or strange for a person to not find that credible.

in other words, you don't know, and you're not gonna know, so just let it go

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@CoachNapierRUSH you got it

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@chrisboettcher9 good advice. a perspective i'll remember this summer

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@HawkEmDownChris Eddie Gaedel. 3'7". one plate appearance.

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

it's actually quite a good question. there are no radio broadcast towers on the moon, and if you look at the range of broadcast towers on earth, they're about 250 miles.

it's easier to believe radio transmission, though, than video transmission. not only is there insufficient broadcasting infrastructure, there are also pretty obvious problems related to battery capacity. not to mention the analogue reel-to-reel technology available at the time.

occam's razor would certainly suggest the broadcast was not live, whether or not it came from the surface of the moon.

go ahead larry, tell the people

@comoncentz @JillFilipovic probably no one who has already had an abortion. it's possible it might reach someone who hasn't yet made that horrible mistake

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@MightyM14415610 @n3ckf @VigilantFox @ShannonSharpe @neiltyson i agree, there's no convincing evidence either way, and it's perfectly fine to simply not have an opinion

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@Gramsterwheel @JillFilipovic I'll just leave this here

@SModjesky @allie__voss my wife was a special education teacher when we met, and the first time she brought her class on a field trip to visit me at work, I knew I wanted to marry her. people with Down syndrome are wonderful, and pure-hearted souls

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@euios_of_nysa @JillFilipovic I think we can both lob the claim at one another of malicious dishonesty -- but only one of us can mashall, as evidence, the existence of a body count

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@euios_of_nysa @JillFilipovic if you are more upset about twitter comments than you are about the slaughter of a child, we have very little to discuss

[Calder Venn @CalderVenn]

@Gramsterwheel @JillFilipovic that is a terrible and tragic error in judgment
