gm, may I have a clue for the 1st pe6.24? plz and thank you

4:52 am

lbdawger

nm monkeys found it!

4:58 am

MollyL

People use the ic form of that word here, when they talk about being sticklers for grammar. : D

6:21 am

BzznBea

Wow! This is a tough one.

7:00 am

hokie carla

howdy. just completely guessed an L to close out the first tile. I wish the rest of the grid would be that way but bea said it's tough, so it's tough.

7:07 am

BzznBea

I may have found the grid groove...

7:08 am

MollyL

*Puts coffee and danish out. Some gluten free.

7:08 am

hokie carla

well, I managed 20/23 c's next, so that's pretty good for me. screeching halt on the t though, only 3 so far.

7:08 am

hokie carla

4 now, I can move on ;)

7:09 am

hokie carla

thanks, molly, very kind of you :D

7:10 am

BzznBea

We were out on a county road yesterday on our drive. Standing right in the middle of the road was a black bear. So cool!

7:10 am

hokie carla

wow

7:11 am

MollyL

Did you get a picture?

7:11 am

BzznBea

There were houses all around. Not like it was isolated.

7:11 am

hokie carla

we had one roaming around near here earlier this summer. not sure where it came from

7:12 am

BzznBea

I was in the back seat and he ran into the woods before I could snap one.

7:12 am

hokie carla

wait, I thought you were driving miss daisy yesterday!

7:13 am

BzznBea

Larry was driving. I was along for the ride.

7:13 am

hokie carla

and are you sure it wasn't bigfoot? you should've taken a pic while he was running and it would've been all blurry and you could say it was bigfoot.

7:13 am

MollyL

Do we now have to refer to Larry as Hoke?

7:13 am

BzznBea

We had a most enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to our next outing.

7:14 am

MollyL

I love that movie. And Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn are two famous people that I have met.

7:14 am

hokie carla

sounds good. I got some more painting done, we got our old floor ripped out, cabinet doors back on. going back this morning to finish painting and put new floor down.

7:14 am

BzznBea

I think we might got to Wilson, NC to see the Whirligig Park.

7:15 am

hokie carla

I have to say I have never seen the movie.

7:15 am

hokie carla

what is the whirligig park? (I guess I could google)

7:16 am

BzznBea

Google it.

7:16 am

hokie carla

ooh, finished the other L

7:17 am

hokie carla

well, I have to say, that was exactly what I was expecting a whirligig park to be

7:18 am

BzznBea

They are pretty big.

7:19 am

hokie carla

3 hr drive for me so may have to wait until I'm in the area

7:19 am

BzznBea

Yes, I think it is 1.5 for us.

7:20 am

MollyL

It's right next to the Thingamagig Park

7:21 am

hokie carla

I keep seeing pecan in here

7:21 am

hokie carla

ooh, just found an 8

7:22 am

BzznBea

We are going to batten down the hatches today.

7:22 am

welki

hi everyone

7:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think we're supposed to get rain but it is nice and sunny right now

7:22 am

BzznBea

Good morning, welki.

7:22 am

hokie carla

howdy welki

7:24 am

MollyL

Bea, are you under a hurricane warning? It's a tropical storm warning here, so far.

7:25 am

BzznBea

Probably a tropical storm here. We are expecting 45 mph winds.

7:25 am

BzznBea

We are far enough inland that unless it is a big one, we just get rain and some wind. I hope we get rain!

7:27 am

hokie carla

well, good luck with it. I reckon I better get moving.

7:27 am

BzznBea

See you tomorrow.

7:32 am

BzznBea

Funny that we should have the entire name of the soft drink today.

7:37 am

MollyL

The Babble Gods get cute that way, sometimes.

7:44 am

BzznBea

Just reading about the covid cases among the MLB. And schools want to have team sports when they start back with classes...

7:48 am

MollyL

I think people are anxious to get back to "normal life". Sadly, that may not happen for a very long time.

12:04 pm

they always said that on top gear before trying to convert a pickup truck into an amphibious vehicle or other ridiculous tasks

12:04 pm

12:38 pm

cybernan

12:38 pm

cybernan

I clued them earlier

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

12:38 pm

hurshy

12:39 pm

12:41 pm

cybernan

12:41 pm

cybernan

monkeyed a lot - just going letter by letter

12:42 pm

cybernan

ok - 25 to go - break time

12:43 pm

moolingwa

well, 48 to go now...only 18 of them 4s

12:44 pm

hurshy

so did everyone see the physicists' article about how civilization has a 90% chance of collapsing in the next 20-40 years?

12:46 pm

moolingwa

No, seems on the face of it like something that is designed to capture headlines

12:47 pm

hurshy

well, it wasn't. i'll go get you the link.

12:47 pm

Wow Hurshy, you

12:53 pm

MollyL

are cheery today

12:54 pm

hurshy

i can't help the facts of deforestation. not knowing about it won't make it any less likely to happen.

12:55 pm

moolingwa

Well they certainly refer to a lot of models/laws, though my initial impression is that there's some areas that are perhaps a bit simplistic

12:56 pm

moolingwa

For instance, they reference Moore's law in a way that seems on first glance to be their standard for assessing technological improvement, whereas Moore's Law is narrowly aligned to the ability to double compute power over a period of time

12:57 pm

hurshy

well, if some other scientists publish a rebuttal i will be very interested

12:57 pm

moolingwa

I'm also trying to figure out why they are referring to Dyson at all. Dyson basically put together a model for creating super massive structures to harness energy from a star

12:58 pm

moolingwa

Not sure why that would be applicable here either

12:58 pm

M3

Maws law was the amount of transistorts to a borad i forget exaclty it was quickly out of date though

12:58 pm

hurshy

there was a very cool star trek:TNG episode where they actually found a Dyson sphere, and i believe that was the one where James Doohan (Scotty) guest starred

12:59 pm

moolingwa

Yes M3, though they are using it somewhat more broadly in that paper

1:00 pm

moolingwa

It's also difficult to predict the rate of deforestation, as it's not linear, and nor is it absolute. Even while some areas are being aggressively cleared others are relatively stable (think North America)...

Bolsanaro worries me very much, but i did see that he recently was pressured to dial back his enthusiasm for razing the Amazon

1:03 pm

moolingwa

The Brazilian presidency is also a 4 year term, so given that he's 2 years through his term, it's also possible that in 2 years there's a change there....assuming that a viable opposition can organize

1:05 pm

hurshy

does anyone have da6/24?

1:06 pm

moolingwa

sounds like a chicago fan who likes throwing rope rings

1:07 pm

moolingwa

chicago sports fan

1:08 pm

hurshy

bulls, bears, cubs.. hmm

1:08 pm

moolingwa

well the latter part of the clue is more on point

1:11 pm

moolingwa

it's a homophone that part, not the actual spelling, which is normally with qu :)

1:11 pm

hurshy

lol

1:12 pm

hurshy

i got the word with morewords, but still didn't understand your clue until you added that part

1:12 pm

moolingwa

sorry :)

1:12 pm

hurshy

i was like... lasso, lariat, riata, cowboy, rodeo, bronco (that was the only one whose ending is in the grid)

1:13 pm

hurshy

i have heard of that qu5 game but did not know what it was like, didn't know it used rope rings

1:13 pm

moolingwa

yeah

1:13 pm

moolingwa

bit obscure

1:13 pm

hurshy

there's my learning for the day :D

1:14 pm

hurshy

1:17 pm

moolingwa

even more obscure meaning

1:17 pm

moolingwa

certain types of robbers or bandits in India/Myanmar

1:20 pm

SuzeeQ24

clue for na7,36 please

1:20 pm

moolingwa

Bottom line for me on the paper, it's a bit of a soup of things that they use to quantify very difficult things to quantify, and while it's interesting how they're using them, it means that their conclusions are based on a lot of hypotheticals

1:25 pm

moolingwa

sorry, don't have na7 yet, will look

1:29 pm

SuzeeQ24

k, thx

1:31 pm

hurshy

moolingwa

which is a physics term

2:33 pm

cybernan

hi again

2:34 pm

cybernan

a flower that is a name --- looking - no dahlia though

2:34 pm

cybernan

2:34 pm

Haz1558

I wonder if anybody was ever named Da6/27 Da6/21?

2:34 pm

cybernan

don't have the da 6/21 if there is one

2:35 pm

Haz1558

da6/21 - think Bond, the Timothy variety.

2:37 pm

cybernan

James Bond? -- no idea

2:37 pm

cybernan

oh -- the actor?

2:37 pm

cybernan

ok - that is a proper noun

2:37 pm

Haz1558

Yes.

2:39 pm

cybernan

think I need to consult lickety now

2:40 pm

moolingwa

A lot of physics terms are named after people

2:41 pm

moolingwa

Ohm, Joule, Hertz....

2:41 pm

moolingwa

2:43 pm

cybernan

darn - another da 6 before the actor

2:43 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I clued it earlier today

2:43 pm

moolingwa

the last part of the word sounds like a game played with rope rings

2:43 pm

moolingwa

but it's a homophone

2:44 pm

cybernan

don't know the game

2:44 pm

moolingwa

okay, it's pretty obscure

2:45 pm

moolingwa

trying to think how else to clue it without just spelling it out

2:46 pm

cybernan

homophone for the actor?

2:46 pm

rbud

there's a tower in san francisco on Telegraph HIll

2:46 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, that works thx bud

2:46 pm

Haz1558

Nan, the game was in the grid yesterday, one of the qu words.

2:46 pm

hurshy

how about this: da6 = russian yes + prefix meaning 'together' + he/she/**

2:46 pm

rbud

and it's even spelled the same, add it to da for the 6.

2:47 pm

Haz1558

Or, da plus an eye in the baby bed.

2:48 pm

cybernan

ty -- don't see the homophone reference though

2:48 pm

moolingwa

the qu word, which is the game, is a homophone for the last part of the word

2:50 pm

cybernan

ok - thought you were referring to a word in the list

2:50 pm

moolingwa

sorry, difficult word to clue

2:51 pm

cybernan

thanks everyone -- got confused with all the clues flying at me -- doesn't take much :D

2:58 pm

3:02 pm

cybernan

off the board now -- unless it is the chemical formula which doesn't meany anything to me

3:03 pm

moolingwa

3:03 pm

cybernan

4:20 pm

hokie carla

we had some rain and thunder earlier but partly cloudy right now, so I'm not sure. it looked kinda like straight line storms on the radar so I suppose it was coming from that way.

4:21 pm

hokie carla

I miss The Weather Channel during hurricane season. :D
