Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: What happened?

I've seen every documentary about 370. The problem with this mystery is that no explanation makes any sense. Clearly what happened was due to human intervention. Despite that, we have no motive, no explanation, nothing.

We're being told that once the plane left Malaysian airspace, the pilot did a U-Turn, flew over the ocean between Indonesian islands to the west, then south into the Indian Ocean. Supposedly this was confirmed by Malaysian radar. It just so happens that Australia has a military base in Malaysia (Butterworth). Their radar reported nothing. Weird, eh?

Remember that wreakage that mysteriously washed up on the beaches of some islands in the western Indian Ocean? The serial numbers were sent to Boeing. Of those, 12 did not match the plane on MH370. Airplane wings and other parts also have identification tags. It just so happens that many of these tags were missing. These are removed only when the planes are purposely dismantled. This implies that the parts that wound up in the Indian Ocean are from other similar planes no longer in use. They were clearly planted there by Malaysian government who is desperate to close the case.

We are no closer to solving this mysery than on the first day. NOTHING makes sense.

The Dark side of Science: the Ape and The Child Experiment - Documentary
The Ape and the Child experiment took place during 1932 in Florida with a child named Donald, and a female Chimpanzee Called Gua. The experiment conducted by Winthrop Kellogg sought out to see what would happen if a Chimp and Human Child were raised side by side. What he didn't anticipate was that Donald would begin to copy his Chimpanzee Sister, resulting in the experiment being cut short.

Find the Führer: The Secret Soviet Investigation
In 1940, the Germans were worshiping their Führer. He promised to create a reich that would last a thousand years. The Germans were ready to follow him to wipe out the scourge plaguing society as a whole. Hitler asserted that the Jews were behind Bolshevism, communism and Marxism and ordered Operation Barbarossa with firm convictions of an inevitable German victory, due to his beliefs that Judeo-Bolshevism liquidated Russia's Aryan aristocracy, which in his view, made the country into a failed state. Despite the serious losses inflicted on the Red Army and extensive territorial gains, the mission to completely destroy Soviet fighting power and force a capitulation was not achieved. One of the most important reasons for this was poor strategic planning.
Despite the failure and huge losses of 'Barbarossa', Hitler launched another major strategic offensive in June 1942, this time towards the Caucasus mountains and the oil fields of Baku. Morale was still generally high and German forces maintained the capacity to inflict further massive losses on badly handled Soviet formations. In fact 1942 would be an even worse year than 1941 for the Russians. But the factors that caused 'Barbarossa' to fail now conspired to doom this new enterprise as well. As the German columns advanced across the seemingly infinite spaces of the steppe towards their distant objectives, including a city named Stalingrad, the victory in the East that had once seemed so certain receded even further from sight. In late April 1945, as the Russians were standing 500 meters from the bunker of the Reichskanzlei, the Fuhrer refused to accept defeat. According to several witnesses, he then committed suicide in the Bunker. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet investigations reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fate of Hitler. Did the Fuhrer survive and escaped from the Bunker?

It is connected to lead acid battery for backup power and electricity is from local grid. The inverter is a smart inverter which can function as inverter and pure sine wave UPS.

Just one car battery? Have you checked how many watts it puts out when fully charged, or its capacity in kWh? It couldn't be that much. What do you run with it?

I assume you have an A/C powered charger for when power returns.

You're an engineer. Is it possible to buy 2 or 3 and run them as an array? Lead acid batteries are relatively cheap when compared to other technologies.

As for the inverter, as you know if you're running an electric motor you've go to go with pure sinewave. With a solid state device it doesn't really matter. The A/C input has to be converted back to DC for it to work.

Yes, there's AC power charger.
It can be run as an array. For now, we conservatively use the stored energy since powercuts are very frequent and longer sometimes.

Tonight, another good movie, titled "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane", is available on the forum.

The story: A thirteen-year-old girl, who lives with her absentee father, befriends a disabled teenage amateur magician and invites him, gradually, into her tenuous struggle against a predatory local neighbor.

Tonight, I'm presenting a special dish.
Look carefully at the photo below.



What you see here is a paella. It's very good. You can see some shellfish (some mussels and pink shrimp).
It is generally recommended to remove the shell from shrimps before eating them.

Microsoft Windows / Re: Windows 11

In case some of you guys haven't heard of this, let me go ahead and post it.

I subscribe to PC World's newsletter. It reported there is a weird bug on Windows 11's File Explorer, only this one is beneficial. Open up File Explorer, hit F11 to go to full screen, then F11 again to get out. File Explorer will run as fast as a bullet. I tested it and, sure enough, it works. Give it a try.

Haha nice, but MSFT will fix that soon.

I'm nearing in my mid 30s.
I buy power from local grid and in case of power cuts due to maintenance and rains I use backup power with inverter.
Yes, that's the one which use evaporating water and a fan at high rpm to cool entire room.

I'm not clear about something. AFAIK and inverter is a device that inverts DC into AC. A simple example is a UPS. When you're on your computer and power goes out, the UPS takes over. DC battery power goes through the inverter which converts it into 220v/50hz used in India. So I ask: what power source goes through your inverter.

You're a young man. I'll be 70 next year. I'm in reasonably good health and, unlike many others my chronological age, computers, technology, and science are my passion. I am not old. In fact I refuse to hang around with old people.

Been to the doctor and due to changing weather conditions from rainy -> very humid/hot -> rainy gave me throat infection.

What did the doctor diagnose? You're not exactly and old man. Your body's immune system should be a little stronger than that.

At this point, I'm used to the heat because there's still electricity in hot weather which usually isn't case and the inverter does run out quickly when everyone uses 2 fans i.e ceiling and table fan. I do use air cooler if its too hot to bear.

Inverter? Where does your power come from? Don't you buy it from the local utility?

I'm surprised. In cooling by far the biggest power eater is the A/C's compressor. Ceiling and table fans use next to nothing in comparison. The air cooler you use? If this just a fan or one of those devices that cool the air by evaporating water?
