Apparently the real problem is the Firewire hardware in the scanner fails.

If you read back in the thread you will see that you have tried to change the subject at every point, and I have each time steered it back to the actual topic. I do not know why yo…

That, anyway, is not a mystery. Heinlein had a medical condition that progressively blocked blood flow in his brain. He increasingly needed themes that would increase his blood pre…

Maybe read up just a bit? It is the biggest open question.

Comparing scripts is the only way to identify similarities and differences. We can be confident Korean is not an influence just on geographic grounds, but all Mediterranean scripts…

It is called TFA, around here. I have copied the link for your convenience. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/sensational-runest...

There is plenty of old evidence. We call them runestones. The glyphs on them have disputed origin. Nobody seems to imagine they were made up from whole cloth. But they don't resemb…

It is right there at the top of the window you are looking at right now. They call it TFA around here.

At issue is that there is now new evidence . It should be obvious that conclusions reached in its absence do not incorporate any evaluation of the new evidence. The conclusion migh…

The origins of the runic script are not established. If they resembled something else strongly enough to say there was just the one, we would not be discussing this.

Denmark is at the threshold of the Baltic sea. Anyone who, like the Carthaginians, could have sailed to the Baltic sea would get there via the North Sea (or down the Oder River). S…

That work was all done without this new evidence. New evidence might reinforce old conclusions, or undermine them. Nobody knows without the work having been done.

It is new evidence. Previous conclusions formed in its absence are obsolete. The new conclusion might be the same, or not, but not without checking first.

I read most it in lockdown after finding it on my mother-in-law's shelf. The article is a fair assessment. Read it to see just how fanatical devotion and violence may share a mind,…

If you are certain that comparing the oldest runes to semitic glyphs won't show up a closer match than more recent runes do, what is wrong with comparing them, or talking about com…

Then what are you worried about?

Yet, in just a few years all the French reactors will be mothballed because they cost several times as much to operate as buying off the grid.

Apparently, assuming it was "influenced by" only one "older writing system". But there is no basis for any such assumption. It appears to be purely a matter of their own convenienc…

Are you aware of the article your post is attached to?

And it would start to come online in 2035. They would burn coal the whole time until then, while renewables cost continued on down below $10/MWh.

Either new evidence changes the picture, or it doesn't. Objecting to checking is not science.
