Yeah. Again, the GAN struggles with the backgrounds, which often don't make sense unless they're very out of focus. Collars and shoulders seem odd,...

The GAN has done a good job of reproducing the sky as it appears in astrophotographs of the Milky Way, I'd say, presumably because there is fairly...

That might well serve to drive the local mice indoors in a house with no cat. My parents once lived in a tenement flat, with cat owners on the floor...

One story about the cancellation of Invasion is that it suffered by comparison with Lost, which was gathering viewing momentum at the time. But I...

For sure. My regular forays into UFOlogy come from the shelves of the local charity shops. Stuff often arrives in boluses as people clear their...

My Wife The Professor had a Chinese PhD student, many years ago, who was very earnest about trying to understand Scottish culture. So after Easter...

Isn't it a feature of the sky, that it's cut off at the horizon? As for fat and blobby, that would depend on the simulated field of view, which we...

I found it interesting, to the extent it's still on my shelves somewhere--a useful chronological narration of who was saying what to whom. But it's...

No, I didn't "dismiss them out of hand". I didn't even mention them in my little summary. I just pointed out that most of his work is a rather...

Difficult thing to do well, the pork chop, but a fine thing when done well. I give you joy of it. (I deliberately say "done well", not "well...

What seems "wonky" to you? Grant Hutchison

I've been revisiting the TV series Invasion (2005), which is yet another member of my long list of "stuff I really enjoyed that some crazy person...

In this context, I'm not sure I do. But to paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart, I'll know it when I see it. ETA: On reflection, I guess there are...

By the nature of GAN and the training images used, we'd necessarily deduce that it was a view of a galaxy very much like ours, from a vantage point...

Looking back through the thread I see, Grant Hatch is probably referring to one or both of Dolan's volumes entitled UFOs and the National Security...

Well, thanks for the apology, but there wasn't really any confusion. I'd been misguided enough to ask for some clarification on the "amuses you"...

It would have been, wouldn't it? But those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat dumb stuff on the Internet. When I was a kid, we...

Yeah. There's a fairly widespread perception that Britons call their country "Great Britain" because of some sort of pathetic post-imperial...

Thank you. I see it was so on the original thread. I was misremembering and treating "Girl Scout" as if it had become a generonym. Grant Hutchison

I'm guessing that's not addressed to me. Grant Hutchison

Likewise. I very, very rarely ask factual questions here, either de novo or as a "matter arising", because I generally prefer to search out...

I didn't even want to know what her last name is. I just wanted to know who she is. Solfe's post provided very little apparent traction for an...

The peninsula of Britannia Minor (now Brittany); the island of Britannia Major (now Great Britain). In Roman times they were a cultural unit, sharing...

My question was really "Who is this famous Adele of whom you speak?" But like an idiot, acting on the assumption that most people do actually have a...

How is this even remotely my doing? I asked an honest question about the Adele-who-didn't-know-she-was-famous; I clarified that the Redditgate person...

Did I wander into some sort of Random Association thread by accident? Grant Hutchison

That'd be Brittany. Grant Hutchison

Did you have a particular book in mind? I've read three--two he coauthored with two different UFOlogists, and one for which he's the sole author--and...

Adele who? Grant Hutchison

Minor British public figure. (This has been a public service broadcast on behalf of the punctuation police.) Grant Hutchison
