@HI-TEC99, The test relies on a landmark of known distance. I could pull the sensor from a PXL-2000 and still fail the globe with a lens made from coke bottles. Proving the earth is flat with a P1000 is like exterminating a mouse with a rail gun. Whitney (shot in Pixelvision) PXL 2000 -- https://youtu.be/bSu7NjC51XsThe Fisher-Price PXL2000 toy black-and-white camcorder is superior to your shit P1000. It was produced in 1987, and over 30 years later they still work. Your shit P1000 broke within a month of this reviewer buying it. Your shit camera's lens is probably defective, and that's why it passes your flat Earth "test". https://www.consumeraffairs.com/cameras/nikon.htmlPurchased Coolpix P1000 on Dec 3, 2018 and within a month lens seemed loose. Sent in for repair. Came back after 3 weeks. No problem found and factory reset. After receiving it back still same, lens loose and unable to zoom past 1200mm as picture was blurry and then it started to not turn off or lens retract. The PXL2000 would probably fail your flat Earth "test" because it's not a shit defective camera. Your camera is shit. |

So a basketball is round despite the P900 "evidence", but the Earth is flat because of your P1000 shit camera "evidence"?
The earth is not a globe, it fails a distance to the horizon test with a wide margin of error when a zoom lens is employed Your P1000 only has a big zoom because it has a shit sensor. I bet you haven't even tried your "test" with a $89,579 USD Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhotography/comments/8zk20g/do_you_think_the_nikon_coolpix_p1000_is_a_little/e2jk5g2/The small sensor on the p1000 makes the ridonkulous focal length possible. If the sensor were bigger, the lens would have to be much, much bigger to cover it.
With that said, the sensor is "shitty" in the sense that a $200 D3100 will outperform it Your camera is shit. |

Solution: switch to linux
its own kind of hell I am also about to convert to linux. I was fine with win7. I liked it. It was doing alright. It had everything I would want from an operating system. Tried win10. Didn't like. One bit. Tried linux before but never used it for a long time. It has its own fuck ups I believe but nothing is perfect and I still believe it is better than w10. Hopefully I am not making a mistake. Ditto, but linux is only free if your time isn't valuable. It's consuming a lot more of my time than I anticipated. |

@HI-TEC99, I'm gonna call you out on that one.  So a basketball is round despite the P900 "evidence", but the Earth is flat because of your P1000 shit camera "evidence"? |

I wonder where Trump's team got the idea for superimposing Thanos onto his picture for his new re-election campaign Twitter ad?  https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1204503645607333888?s=20They should have asked xhomerx for help. He did a much better job. Thanks to micg for the original idea, and a huge thanks to xhomerx for translating that into something amazing:  Avatar-sized  |

^ The globe fails a distance to the horizon test with a wide margin of error using a super-zoom camera. The surface of the earth doesn't curve at any distance!
Not only is the earth flat for as far as the eye can see, the earth is flat for as far as the Nikon P1000 can see.
This review says your Nikon P1000 super-zoom camera is shit, so it can't prove the Earth is flat. https://www.cliftoncameras.co.uk/Blog/The-Nikon-P1000-is-the-Best-Bridge-Camera-of-2018---But-its-Not-for-MeI have a hard time imagining exactly who the P1000 appeals to. It's too big to be a travel camera and lacks the requisite discretion for street photography. It has little professional application, besides documentation, and it feels too bulky for family holidays. That sort of leaves us with the birders and the weirdos... Which one are you, a birder or a weirdo? |

Notbatman - can you prove you are not batman? I have never seen both of you in the same place at the same time, you are not in any of his movies. Hmm? Mr Wayne? Hmm?
Maybe he wears one of these to hide the fact he's batman. |

Bitcoin is not going to be a way to avoid reporting to the authorities. Craig Wright has explained/argued how the authorities will be able to pressure exchanges and 50+% of the miners to censor transactions:[/size]
...
So a key insight from Craig’s point is that if mining is not sufficiently in the hands of users (i.e. decentralized) then censorship resistance is going to gradually die over time. Initially governments will focus on coordinating on freezing cryptocurrency associated with major crimes. But of course over time this will digress into a form of abject totalitarianism.[/size]
Umm. What? Craig Wright says buy Bitcoin SV because of "predictions". |

^^^ That's like claiming blocks are round because you can run around them. How can you go around a block if it's not round?
This dictionary defines a block as a piece of substantial material, e.g. a block of cheese. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blockDefinition of block
1 : a compact usually solid piece of substantial material especially when worked or altered to serve a particular purpose
//blocks of cheese Blocks of cheese can be round (like this block of Dutch Edam cheese), so a block can be round (and you can run round them).  |

That dissertation only uses the word firmament because it's been badly translated from Russian to English. Besides that this dictionary defines firmament as a sphere of an interest, so it can't be flat, it must be spherical. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/firmament
Definition of firmament
the field or sphere of an interest or activity

8/8 (from bottom/from left)  I don't know what words like "solvent", "believe" and "expert" are doing there (no such currencies, lol) (top right) is a crypto currency, but it's a shitcoin crypto currency, so it doesn't matter. |
