oh - so not a place then -- ty - haven't heard that term before
10:42 am
cybernan

cooling down in AB welki?
10:43 am
welki

yep, and we've had snow - time to head south!
10:43 am
cybernan

oh - a lot of heavy frost on the roof a few times, but no snow yet.
10:44 am
cybernan

not heading south though - doesn't get that cold here other than for a couple of weeks in January
10:45 am
welki

we should have relocated to b.c. instead of toughing it out here - my inlaws lived in victoria and i did envy my father-in-law being able to golf year-round
10:45 am
cybernan

that and have reached the age where travel insurance is sky high - especially for the states
10:45 am
welki

yeah, it's expensive, but necessary.
10:46 am
cybernan

It's never too late -- read the chat earlier and I think you are 10 years younger than I am.
10:48 am
cybernan

housing is much more expensive here than where you are, though
10:48 am
welki

and taxes are sky high
10:49 am
cybernan

don't know about Victoria taxes. Here they are about the same as Lethbridge. We do have the PST however.
10:49 am
welki

we think about it from time to time - and of ontario (to be closer to the kids), but i can't see it happening. i'm too lazy to pack everything up :)
10:51 am
cybernan

I know what you mean -- we waited to late to downsize making it a bit of a chore. I do love my gated community, however - just wish I had two guest rooms instead of one.
10:52 am
welki

we did the downsizing and it was more than a bit of a chore - still trying, years later, to fit what we "salvaged" into the small house we now have. the old 'trying to fit five pounds of shit into a one pound bag'
10:54 am
cybernan

lol - you should see my garage and it is 8 years later!
10:56 am
welki

i have to get some stuff done before heading out to town this afternoon - later, nan
10:57 am
cybernan

nice chatting - hagd
11:07 am

12:14 pm
UntitledDocument

Surprised only 1/3 planets counted
12:14 pm
hokie carla

I think only ours counts because it's a word also not proper noun (dirt)
12:14 pm
hokie carla

whereas the other 2 are only proper nouns
12:15 pm

that would make sense
12:19 pm

do you usually not have turtles?
4:26 pm
Atalante

noooo
4:26 pm
hurshy

i thought turtles lived pretty much everywhere except the poles
4:26 pm
Atalante

we're pretty much the poles :P

4:28 pm
hurshy

well of course we are also living in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, so there's that to consider
4:29 pm
72 Temple Owl

gee hurshy, you have a phd in biology as well?
4:30 pm

hurshy

73% average decline in wildlife populations since 1970 in a report that came out about a year ago
4:32 pm
72 Temple Owl

trouble is, it's like the law of motion. for every pundit there is another espousing the opposite
4:32 pm
hurshy

it's not a pundit
4:32 pm
hurshy

it's the world wildlife foundation report
4:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

pardon me, if i used a word incorrectly. i think the meaning is still clear
4:33 pm
hurshy

but pundits, the point of pundits is to offer commentary. other things, other organizations, offer statistics, information. it's not the same thing at all.
4:33 pm
Atalante

wwf is still an ngo with an agenda
4:34 pm
hurshy

so do you think they are incorrect? that it's not as bad as that report suggests?
4:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

4:33pardon me, if i used a word incorrectly. i think the meaning is still clear
4:35 pm
Atalante

I'm sure its about as bad as they say. but all conservation organisations do have agendas
4:36 pm
rolin

Just weighing in here... if the WWF can be dismissed as just another ngo with an agenda.... and a 'whatever' espousing an opinion..... is there any documented and supported work to show species either have increased or even not declined?
4:36 pm
hurshy

TO, if you have a specific criticism of a study's methodology, or a reason to think an information source is untrustworthy, by all means bring it up. but don't do the whole "nobody knows any facts, everyone is just saying their opinion" thing.
4:38 pm
Atalante

It's fairly easy to provide any trend in biodiversity if you try hard enough. But its such a shitshow now that the declines are absolutely obvious and documented
4:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

hurshy, i have no idea where this is coming from. somethin else is going on here that i will not engage.
4:38 pm
hurshy

well then you are confusing me very much.
4:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

i twice apologized for misusing a word
4:39 pm
hurshy

but you also said your meaning is clear (ie the same meaning applies whether it is a pundit or not)
4:39 pm
72 Temple Owl

give it a rest
4:40 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am just a player in an online game
4:41 pm

my last comment - was that accurate or did i misunderstand you?
4:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

who is trying to get in a few before dinner, but must now give that my full attention
4:48 pm
MollyL

Conversations about things like this with alarmists generally don't go well.
4:50 pm
hurshy

well to me the important thing here is to state that not everything is a mere opinion. facts do exist. science can make MISTAKES about facts, but one needs to argue those on the merits, not say, "well i just don't believe that" for no other reason than that you don't want to believe it. if people have info that i don't have that suggests we don't have species loss, i would be beyond thrilled to hear it. but i think it's very important to defend the simple idea that facts exist.
4:51 pm
Atalante

we have species loss, we have species gain. but overall we have species loss for a number of types of animals and plants. now whether this is related to human action (probably) is another question, but climate change is a big issue in extinction
4:54 pm
hurshy

i heard jellyfish are expected to do very well
4:54 pm
Atalante

oh yes, very well.
4:56 pm

4:56 pm

are they edible? nutritious?
4:57 pm
Atalante

:(
4:57 pm

too bad, i like tasty
4:57 pm

does anyone have a clue for the tu 7 please?
6:26 pm
Lizlin

Difficult for me to clue - tu + consonant + misspelling of a girl's name (miss out consonant in the middle of the name) Clumsy clue. Sorry
6:28 pm
Lizlin

Didn't even get the clue right! What I said, then add another consonant at the end. Sounds like someone "reaching for the stars"
6:30 pm
Lizlin

Google says -adjective
adjective:
serving as a protector, guardian, or patron.
6:37 pm
