The Base Camp

I don't know cricket, but if they had a bar I'll gladly 'join'

@CharlieBrumbaugh Hi Charlie - I apologise on behalf of the mod group if it feels like "nothing happens" - things do happen, but not necessarily for public consumption. And tallies of bad behaviour do add up to suspensions of increasing length, so flagging really helps us with that.

but please don't let an individual stop you posting good content

We have been having discussions over that user's behavior for years now, is it really worth the trouble they cause?

At last a question about poo!

For hiking western ghats are the best

bot people

@CharlieBrumbaugh it's an easy thing to do, that doesn't take anything away, and can help gain acceptance with a slightly wider audience.

@EverythingRightPlace as opposed to 'sick' meaning the equivalent of 'cool' or 'rad', yeah?

@Liam they are much better at heights than me tbh :-)

@anderas: Fitness is just another phase of life :-)

If there was anything that bothers me, then it is the poverty among Native Americans living in the Navajo Nation. A lot of people standing along the road with tables or pick-up trucks selling handmade jewelry. Even if I was interested in buying some, I wouldn't stop 50 times...

@WedaPashi we've had the best chats ever :)

Agreed. I would keep it civil irrespective of what I get from others. A choice :)

I'm a woman who is not offended by words like chairman that have a -man in them. I'd rather be called a chairman than a chair -- I really object to being called a piece of furniture. Anyway, feminine words and phrases like aviatrix or actress or female mathematician are falling out of favor, and a good thing1

Ah a record player :)

This site would be way more interesting if dinosaurs were still alive

You could even say nomenclature may not be the nomenclature we want to use for nomenclature :)

Somebody got his world time under control ;)

Remember when a user was posting 6 answers and 4 would get deleted? No help there.

With the pics from animatedknots.com it's actually not even the usual gray area, there is a copyright notice on that page and by reproducing the pics on SE, it gets published under some CC license (don't remember which one), which is definitely not compatible.

Lets just say this too shall pass.

@WedaPashi They're all good. Eldest 2 at Uni and College, youngest back at school. All healthy, which is the main thing

@RoryAlsop @Liam @Aravona @ab2 @CharlieBrumbaugh @Sue and everyone else, we are 5 short of 4000 questions.

My opinion: @Olin go for it, do seed your topic. If this turns into a competition between "TGO fractions", we might soon be at 20questions/day :P

Thats me after loosing 5 kg.

@StrongBad True, it can have not opinion-based answers, it is just extremely unlikely. This is illustrated by two answers (one for our standards highly upvoted) which are just opinions. A question that can have an objective answer, but it is just really unlikely anyone has the information for it, unfortunately becomes opinion based. In a perfect world the answer would remain open and opinion based answers downvoted...

@Rory, @Liam, @ab2, @WedaPashi, @StrongBad and anybody else. There's a proposal about Accesibility that looks interesting. area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/116219/…

Thanks @Liam - sorted. I was also a bit upset at that unwelcoming comment from one of our folks. Thanks to you, @ab2 and @Sue for actually being welcoming.

@CharlieBrumbaugh Awesome! You have put in an awful lot of effort there over the last few months!

Oh, the ice cream van still visits at 7pm round the streets here

pain in the ***

that thing sounds so weird to me, I keep hearing "I fell, running"

Happy International Mountain Day!

Bears are far easier to understand than IT :D

Seriously though, I feel like this site gets a disproportionate number of questions about bears compared to the frequency of encountering them.

We are down to 117 tags without usage guidance, from 157 two weeks ago.

@Charlie Brumbaugh, @Sue The speed of light is almost (in round numbers) 300,000 kiloarmlengths per attention-span.

@Sue it's an amazing fact isn't it. I love iridescence on birds, insects, oil films etc

We left our local area for the first time yesterday. That quarry is just up the road from my house ^

Off to do this on Mon which I'm looking forward to ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/dinas_mot-699/the_cracks-3254

Nice to see you on the moderator council @RoryAlsop this place needs a steady head at the moment
