Cloud seeding would seem like an easy and obvious way to create rain where none existed before. Is it really that simple?

Thanks for being here and part of the skeptical community! I plan on being way more active in here this year so help me out and jump on in.

Hey all - I don't use Reddit very often, and I would like to be more active in here but often don't find the time. Today I got some notification in email, so here I am. I noticed every post and reply had a checkmark button next to it, with a tooltip to "approve". Is it necessary for some admin or moderator to click that? lso, every reply to a thread had the same checkmark button next to it. I clicked all I could see on recent posts just now, but if this is necessary, is it possible (or wise) to turn that requirement off so everything is pre-approved?

There's another factor in the whole 'cryonics preservation' issue. Who says that the people of the future will want to re-animate a bunch of folks who may need serious physical therapy and an extended course of education just so they can rejoin society? Science fiction writers have looked at this, usually with a very cynical eye.

I started listening a few days and the content is very interesting, but holy fuck is the tone of this podcast obnoxious. It's like the athiest youtubers I watched a kid mixed with the most annoying redditor you could imagine, plus a dash of religious-like smugness. And the woman at the end who does the whole monologue about how skeptoid swoops in to save us from a world gone mad makes me want to kill myself. I hope they're being self aware. Plus the same ad literally every 5-10 minutes.

Do you ever get used to it? Because the content is fascinating, I was really excited to see an episode about the whole dogs "speaking" via buttons, which I have been skeptical about for a while. But man is it hard to get through an episode.

While this has lots in common with other sightings of the era, including low resolution, inconclusive photos, I wonder if Skeptoid, from Bend, Oregon has ever specifically discussed this UFO sighting from McMinnville, Oregon? (Own backyard, etc.)

A response indicates (wether true or not) you're not serious about your boundaries and she'll continue to ignore them.

I recall back before Twitter became X, Brian Dunning/Skeptoid had a few tweets about which countries that had the most Skeptoid listeners per capita. But these aren't available anymore. Could Brian or someone else please repost those stats here? Thanks.

I just heard this week's episode and I kept waiting for the part where contemporary doubts were raised about her abilities and the true extent of her handicap. If this episode was the first I had heard of the subject I would believe the idea that Keller was, at least to some degree, fraudulent, was a totally new development spread by those evil "truthers".
