MollyL

Worth 250 billion and gone into space. Is there anything else the man wants?

8:31 am

governess

there is plenty to dislike him for, but i don't include going to space on that list.

8:32 am

Shirlockc

ditto on that governess

8:33 am

mael

eh, if we taxed them properly we'd actually have a functional space program

8:33 am

mael

so billionaires going to space for fun makes me cranky

8:33 am

governess

we should tax them, agree.

8:34 am

governess

but all the same i like seeing progress in space in any way it comes.

8:34 am

Deeha

Just come in to the middle of this. If you are talking about billionaire Branson, the Tory donor, he claimed he

8:35 am

governess

oh branson was what a week or so ago? this one was bezos.

8:35 am

Deeha

during lockdown he couldnt afford to pay his employees and got government help

8:36 am

Deeha

okl sorry. I just thorpoughly dislike the man!!

8:36 am

mael

9:33 am

MollyL

That's funny. I just read a very funny article called STOP Telling Me To STAY SAFE!!
: D

9:33 am

hokie carla

sounds good

9:34 am

rururocks

coming from Monty though.. it's just nice.. he's such a good person

9:34 am

BzznBea

I love it when I am the only one in the store wearing a mask.

9:35 am

MollyL

The psychology of buzz phrases and how/why they catch on is fascinating. Look at LOL, still being used after all these LONG years. Even when no one was ever really laughing out loud.

9:35 am

rururocks

I think I'm going to start wearing mine again.. numbers are going up in Nor Cal.. although not too bad in Napa yet

9:36 am

hurshy

10 left!

9:36 am

governess

bzzn bea yes...like i know less than 50% of you is vaccinated.

9:36 am

MollyL

Are vaccinated people getting sick?

9:36 am

BzznBea

Hasn't CA mandated indoor masks again?

9:36 am

hurshy

vaccinated people are getting sick, but not dying

9:36 am

governess

vaccinated people can catch the delta, they're just far less likely to die or be hospitalized

9:37 am

MollyL

Then this will never end. They will just keep coming up with new versions of it.

9:37 am

hurshy

much like the flu, we get flu shots every year

9:37 am

MollyL

I have never gotten a flu shot

9:38 am

BzznBea

I can't run the risk of bringing it home because someone didn't want to get the vaccine.

9:38 am

governess

which would be fine if the long term effects of the disease weren't so much worse

9:38 am

MollyL

I have never gotten the flu eithyer

9:38 am

hurshy

i get the flu shot because i know it helps others who are unable to get it

9:38 am

hurshy

i consider it a part of my civic responsibility

9:38 am

Aloyisius

stopping in to say hi to my Babble friends; we are in Denmark, enjoying a visit with daughter and family. Travel here was complicated by documentation/covid tests but I'm glad we came.

9:38 am

governess

or for example, my god daughter is vaccinated, but immune compromised. the vaccine won't save her.

9:39 am

governess

people who don't vaccinate hurt innocent people like my god daughter. she should have been protected by herd immunity from the measles, instead she had the measles about a year and a half ago.

9:39 am

BzznBea

SE Missouri and Arkansas hospitals are overflowing with patients with Delta. They are young and dying.

9:40 am

BzznBea

Enjoy your trip, Aloy.

9:41 am

hurshy

phantom: dragon

9:42 am

Aloyisius

BzznBea

9:43 am

hurshy

ok thanks bea!

9:45 am

hurshy

does it use the J? i'm having trouble seeing how to get around that

9:45 am

BzznBea

No. Salmon stage

9:45 am

BzznBea

plural

9:46 am

hurshy

whew, monkeyed it at last. salmon stage, eh? which stage is it?

9:47 am

BzznBea

The first year it goes back to spawn.

9:47 am

hurshy

how old does it have to be to do that?

9:49 am

BzznBea

One to two years

9:49 am

hurshy

mk, thanks for the info :)

9:50 am

hurshy

6 to go now

9:50 am

hokie carla

9:51 am

MLFAN17

is the ci 4 a babblet?

9:51 am

hurshy

it's italian...

9:51 am

BzznBea

yes

9:51 am

hokie carla

phantom lager

9:51 am

hokie carla

I missed that one yesterday too, thx

9:52 am

MLFAN17

ohh ty both

9:52 am

hokie carla

I actually always miss that one

9:52 am

hurshy

is there a ce, or just Co from that one?

9:52 am

hokie carla

the lower one? ci4 is from upper

9:53 am

hokie carla

I only have 4 co's, need the 5th

9:53 am

hurshy

the lower one is what i meant, i was being self-referential rather than building on the ci comments, sorrry

9:53 am

mael

I'm learning things about salmon! "Most zombie fish die within days of spawning, but some can last up to a couple of weeks."

9:53 am

hurshy

"that one" as in "the one that could have a ce"

9:53 am

MLFAN17

i need a clue for the co 6 pls?

9:53 am

hurshy

wait wait zombie fish?

9:53 am

hurshy

they have to die after they spawn??

9:53 am

hurshy

ok then that co6 is the word we need

9:53 am

hokie carla

I guess I need co6

9:54 am

mael

apparently salmon start deteriorating and decomposing after they spawn but before they die. Fun times!

9:54 am

BzznBea

co6 is UK spelling of a narcotic

9:54 am

hurshy

that's awful, why on earth

9:54 am

hurshy

thanks bea

9:54 am

mael

I had no idea they even died after they spawned

9:54 am

hurshy

me neither

9:54 am

MollyL

Interesting. When you look up stages of salmon, that word is not used

9:54 am

hurshy

now i'm depressed

9:55 am

hokie carla

I think a lot of animals live to procreate and then die

9:55 am

mael

I can't find it either, that's why I was looking at salmon life stages haha

9:56 am

MollyL

Don't anyone tell Hurshy about black widow spiders and their mates

9:56 am

hurshy

but i don't understand because earlier someone said "returns to spawn for the first time" which sort of implies there could be a second time

9:56 am

MLFAN17

not getting the co6?

9:57 am

rururocks

it's true.. they die so they don't use up any of the food source for the young ones

9:57 am

BzznBea

morse co4 + two vowels

9:57 am

MollyL

The definition of the gr7 is...a young Atlantic salmon as it returns from the sea to fresh water for the first time

9:58 am

MLFAN17

ty got it

9:58 am

hurshy

ok so it appears that Pacific salmon die, while Atlantic do not, from spawning

9:59 am

rururocks

I guess if you have to go it's best after an orgasm

9:59 am

MLFAN17

c words are done

9:59 am

saanichcat

we have the gr 7 on the west coast as well, small ocean salmon

9:59 am

hurshy

atlantic salmon are actually more closely related to trout than they are to pacific salmon

9:59 am

hokie carla

my last A from the left was unexpected

10:00 am

hokie carla

which g is this GR7 from?

10:00 am

mael

oh there you go. Atlantic salmon!

10:00 am

hurshy

oh but spawning still takes a big toll and MOST do die, and don't get to spawn more than once, just SOME do

10:01 am

MLFAN17

hokie the 14 or the 18?

10:01 am

mael

now I know

10:01 am

BzznBea

I'm glad my guests have left. I'm pooped!

10:01 am

mael

it's the middle G, hokie

10:01 am

hokie carla

18, mlfan

10:01 am

hokie carla

thx, mael

10:01 am

rururocks

I have another guest coming to my house next tuesday.. it's been constant

10:01 am

MLFAN17

i am looking for it

10:02 am

MLFAN17

i gtg will be back

10:02 am

MollyL

Well Hurshy, we can't all be Michelle Duggar

10:02 am

hurshy

i'm not saying i want them to, i just think it sucks that they DIE

10:02 am

hokie carla

thank goodness

10:02 am

BzznBea

Here too. But, unless someone else decides they want to visit.

10:02 am

hokie carla

(duggar)

10:03 am

MollyL

*Opens the lead balloon window

10:03 am

hokie carla

sucks for who that they die? that's what they know, that's their life cycle. why put human things on it?

10:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ethnic slur of the day

10:04 am

hokie carla

guess I haven't found it

10:04 am

hurshy

because i'm human, haha

10:06 am

BzznBea

Guess I will go strip beds and do laundry. Bye.

10:06 am

rururocks

that's why bears feast at spawning areas.. they eat the fish that are dying... kind of like a sushi restaurant for ursines

10:06 am

hurshy

and also stuck

10:07 am

hurshy

well that's good at least ruru, they don't go to waste

10:58 am

cybernan

2:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:03 pm

governess

2:03 pm

hokie carla

2:03 pm

2:05 pm

2:05 pm

HarryHood

I'm "meh" on KK

2:05 pm

MollyL

WOW! Carla must be gluten-free. WHO KNEW????

2:05 pm

hokie carla

I'm meh on DD, and I really don't like any grocery store doughnuts

2:05 pm

MollyL

Me too Harry. I don't get the Krispy Kreme appeal.

2:06 pm

HarryHood

it's all about the little hats, molly

2:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

not custard

2:06 pm

governess

krispy kreme had a good marketing thing going, then they started selling them in stores. just like most brands, they kill the brand to make more money.

2:06 pm

hokie carla

I've found people either like one or the other with DD or KK

2:06 pm

MollyL

That is funny, I have a picture of one of my kids in one of those hats.

2:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

KK too sweet for me
