Norman, can you hear me?
We lost video here. Can you hear me?
- That tears it.
- What, sir?
We're on internal power.

(from internet transcript)
WEIR: Alright, well, how much time do we have?
McKAY: It's hard to say. Hours, maybe days if we minimise power expenditure.
BECKETT: What about our own power generators?
McKAY: We're working on that, but even with our most advanced naqahdah power generators, the equations are coming up far short.
WEIR: So we need to find more ZeeP.Ms.
SUMNER: Now how do we do that if we can't search the city?
McKAY: If there were more here, we'd be able to detect them.
SUMNER: Can we use the Stargate?
McKAY: There's nowhere near enough power to open a wormhole back to Earth.
SHEPPARD: Maybe somewhere in this galaxy.
McKAY: That's relatively easy. (He leads Weir and Sheppard over to the console that acts as a D.H.D., where Grodin is already working.) Fortunately some Ancient technology still uses good old-fashioned push buttons, so we've been able to access the Stargate control system and a library of known Gate addresses in the database.
GRODIN: That's not all. Look at this.
(He pushes a button and a shimmering force shield appears across the Stargate.)
SUMNER: Just like the iris on the Earth Gate.
McKAY (quietly but pointedly): Using power, using power, using power.

Religious scholars are experts only in circular reasoning.
I keep watch for the so-called "religious professor" - notable graduates of the clown-colleges infesting the United States of America - for those intelligent persons who learn enough about the subject to finally figure out that monkeys invented their god. Bible-thumpers are too weak- and lazy-minded to ever put in any serious effort at understanding *why* the human psyche *needs* a god.
So in their delusions they read such news article about discoveries and in their idiocy they think that somehow equates to proof of their delusions.
from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

I walked down to a lake, but the lake was fenced off. There was a chain link fence surrounding the lake and I could only look at it. The lake looked familar, Greason maybe, but I also recognized some CDA features. Some other stuff happened around the lake I can't quite remember. There were a few people there I didn't know, the people I think of as familiar strangers, they look like they know me but I don't know them.
