well well well look who ' s back <| sep |> Thanks for the more detailed info . I definitely agree we probably don ' t see parallax in this or any other nebula . I was just saying that distance is the factor that determines parallax , rather than field of view . <| sep |> Now I am sad . . . that gatdam Butcher . <| sep |> With a cool environmental theme , from a company that ' s swamping the world with garbage . <| sep |> Yes . She did ok didn ' t she ? No , she didn ' t . That ' s part and parcel to my point that shethey made mistakes , which is exactly what you would expect from someone in a situation like I described . I ' ve been at this a while now , and that ' s one thing I ' ve never gotten a satisfactory answer to why anyone would expect them to have done a great job . Not only over tired and possibly a bit drunk after a very long Christmas day , Which would not be conducive to proper behavior . but also able to jot off a 2 . 5 page ransom note after murdering her daughter Back to Ron Walker again . while remembering obscure quotes from kidnap movies she never saw . One , she SAID she never saw them , and we know what that ' s worth . Secondly , and this is something I wanted to bring up , she DIDN ' T remember them exactly . If you compare them , you ' ll find a lot of them are MISquotes . Which suggests to me that they were just memes , something you hear in daily course . Even people who have never seen Dirty Harry know some variation of make my day . Without realizing that Eastwood didn ' t say that in Dirty Harry he said it in Sudden Impact . Stayed up all the next day after doing her hair and putting on her makeup second wind at 5 . 30 am ? Maybe so . then putting in an Oscar performance in the morning , climaxing with a stellar one when they bought the body up . I ' m not cynical enough to say that it was ALL a performance . I think it was genuine emotion . Although , the forensic psychologist , Stephen Pitt , used those words Oscarworthy . Nobody who saw her portrayal that day as the motherinanguish believes she was guilty . That ' s how good an actor she was . That ' s one thing I ' ll agree with . I ' ve said it before the Ramseys may not have been great at crime scenes , but they were EXCELLENT at bullshit . He made millions as a salesman , and she was a beauty queenjournalist with a dramatic background . So that IS something I ' d expect them to be good at . Later , heavily medicated , but still being repeatedly interviewed by police who stayed with them over the next 48 hours wait wut ? the police lied about no interviews ? . And never giving the game away , even though she was doped to the eyeballs with valium etcOne , I imagine that ' s WHY she was doped up to keep her in no shape for interviews . Two , NO , the police did NOT lie about no interviews . IDI loves to twist that one beyond recognition . The police were there those days as PROTECTION . What few questions were asked were as victims , not suspects . And most of that went along the lines of Patsy ' s not up for it , and suchlike . I don ' t see a formal interview in there at any time . It wasn ' t until April 30 that formal interviews were performed , and only then after a ridiculous amount of negotiating . You are rightI know that . Frankly , I don ' t think anyone in the world could come near to what you think Patsy achieved on that day . Recently , Stephen Pitt himself said that it ' s that kind of mindset that is one of the big problems in this case . Make of that what you will . But convincing John her husband to stay with her after she brutally murdered his daughter . Now that is some kind of feat . I wouldn ' t think anyone could do that . I don ' t think he had much choice .
