@Knesix Then why are you so bad at doing it?

[Blundon @emymitch]

@OleOines @keloland They really messed that one up. "Remains of missing man found"

[Blundon @emymitch]

@Rightanglenews I wonder why your politicians and media are lying to you about what is happening. Getting you all riled up and hating strangers. Atleast the Rep in the video is honest about what's happening. Blue wave.

@rekt_lord @PalmeriPatriot @Rightanglenews Are you really trying to dictate what one Black person can call another Black person? Do you even understand what was actually said?

[Blundon @emymitch]

@TakaishiObata @Rightanglenews Sadly, the only ammo you have is the lies you spread. First your party has to change and add to its platform to get votes. Now you lie to people to get votes. What does that say about your party? Pathetic!!!

@rittenhouse2a Conceal carry. Huge difference.

[Blundon @emymitch]

@clerpatriot Thats what therapy is for. If you go through something traumatic at work when you are in law enforcement, you should be required to get therapy so things like this do not happen.

@manly_mentor So you think women should continue being kind even when he is abusive? More blaming the person that gave it all just to be treated like horse crap.

Ancient Giant Trees Found Petrified in Thailand 🇹🇭

Fossil trees that approached the heights of today’s tallest redwoods have been found in northern Thailand. The longest petrified log measures 72.2m (237ft), which suggest the original tree towered to more than 100m (330ft) in a wet tropical forest some 800,000 years ago.

The trees appear to have been closely related to a species alive today called Koompassia elegans, which belongs to the same family as beans, peas and black locust trees, explained lead author of the study, Marc Philippe of France’s University of Lyon. That is to say, the ancient trees are not closely related to today’s tallest trees, which are the Eucalyptus (gum trees) of Australia and Sequoia (redwoods) of California. Both of those living trees can reach about 130m (425ft) in height. Interestingly, there are no trees living today in Thailand that approach the size of the ancients.

“Highest trees nowadays in Thailand are almost 60 meters (200 feet),” wrote Philippe in response to my email query about his new paper coming out in the April issue of journal Quaternary Science Reviews. ”To my knowledge the highest tree yet recorded in Thailand is a Krabak tree, belonging to Dipterocarpaceae (‘tropical oaks’), 58m (190ft) tall.”

The sediments in which the fossil trees were found suggest that they lived in a wet forest at the edge of a lowland plain. Today the fossil trees are at an elevation of 170m (550ft) above sea level and the climate flips between wet and dry seasons — what’s called monsoonal. Philippe says it’s possible there has been some uplift of the region since the trees fell.

Just how these buried trees were found is an interesting story in itself. A small section of a large petrified log was found ten years ago by a villager in a reserve forest at Ban Tak District, Tak Province. The discovery was reported to officials of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department and so an official came out to examine the log and surveyed the surrounding area. The log was then excavated to a length of 21m (70ft) without reaching the end. Ground penetrating radar was brought in and found that 30m (100ft) of trunk were still unexposed. In 2005, funds were found to excavate the whole trunk. At present, seven of nine discovered petrified trunks have been excavated, mostly in 2005.

“The result was the appearance of what is considered the world’s longest piece of petrified wood, with a length of 72.22m” (236.9ft), the researchers report. “In 2006, the name of the park was changed to Petrified Forest Park because of the fascinating discoveries.”

As to why there were big trees in the past that are unrelated to today’s giant trees, it appears to be just another case of what’s called convergent evolution. That’s where similar environmental factors lead to traits that are similar in unrelated species. Think rheas (South America), ostriches (Africa) and emus (Australia). All are large, unrelated flightless birds that evolved on different continents. I’m not sure what drives trees to grow taller, but a dense forest and a competition for sunlight is part of it. It seems likely that over hundreds of millions of years that plants have been around there have been lots of very tall tree species, probably from every family of plant. It’s just an extremely very rare thing to get an entire petrified trunk to confirm it.

@Girtsum @AnaelDiary @LeadingReport Comments like yours make me giggle. Its completely the opposite of logic and reasoning. 🤣🤣🤣

If you don't want to be called a fascist, don't act like a fascist. It's really simple.

@tylenol @Jen_in_TX Trump is a moron however even a broken clock is right twice a day. And just because he is on the right side of this, doesn't mean he always is. Thats how it works; tell enough truths and people will believe lies. Im glad the truth on this is coming out. Signed- leftist y'all hate

@realdogeusa Cutting the fat is good but don't hurt the farmers and those feeding the poor in the process.
