Always thought that "calor" is a word.
gm, may I have a clue for the 1st pe6.24? plz and thank you
nm monkeys found it!
People use the ic form of that word here, when they talk about being sticklers for grammar. : D
Wow! This is a tough one.
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.
I may have found the grid groove...
*Puts coffee and danish out. Some gluten free.
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.
4 now, I can move on ;)
thanks, molly, very kind of you :D
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!
wow
Did you get a picture?
There were houses all around. Not like it was isolated.
we had one roaming around near here earlier this summer. not sure where it came from
I was in the back seat and he ran into the woods before I could snap one.
wait, I thought you were driving miss daisy yesterday!
Larry was driving. I was along for the ride.
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.
Do we now have to refer to Larry as Hoke?
We had a most enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to our next outing.
I love that movie. And Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn are two famous people that I have met.
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.
I think we might got to Wilson, NC to see the Whirligig Park.
I have to say I have never seen the movie.
what is the whirligig park? (I guess I could google)
Google it.
ooh, finished the other L
well, I have to say, that was exactly what I was expecting a whirligig park to be
They are pretty big.
3 hr drive for me so may have to wait until I'm in the area
Yes, I think it is 1.5 for us.
It's right next to the Thingamagig Park
I keep seeing pecan in here
ooh, just found an 8
We are going to batten down the hatches today.
hi everyone
yeah, I think we're supposed to get rain but it is nice and sunny right now
Good morning, welki.
howdy welki
Bea, are you under a hurricane warning? It's a tropical storm warning here, so far.
Probably a tropical storm here. We are expecting 45 mph winds.
We are far enough inland that unless it is a big one, we just get rain and some wind. I hope we get rain!
well, good luck with it. I reckon I better get moving.
See you tomorrow.
Funny that we should have the entire name of the soft drink today.
The Babble Gods get cute that way, sometimes.
Just reading about the covid cases among the MLB. And schools want to have team sports when they start back with classes...
I think people are anxious to get back to "normal life". Sadly, that may not happen for a very long time.
Getting started with my Monday chores...
Monday greetings, Babblonians.

What about colada, as in Pina colada?!

halfway...
have come to a halt - don't know how I'm going to find another 49
but you will :D
yeah - 20 of them are 4's - how hard can that be?
oh dear, you should never say THAT
they always said that on top gear before trying to convert a pickup truck into an amphibious vehicle or other ridiculous tasks
and it always presages disaster
name that proper noun! Mt. Everest country
Nepal
ding ding ding!!!
mmm - just realized I don't have any 7's
ac7, not a normal word but it shows up in babble reasonably often
pa7
i don't have the third yet
does the ac have anything to do with zits or plays?
no
it sounds like it would be some kind of a stone or something
got it - ty
guessed wrong - upon lookup, it is a plant.
doesn't matter -- your clue helped :)
:D
i have a greek letter for Z, anyone got the other one?
got the pa -- have never seen it without an im in front

and it's not Margaret Thatcher's nickname
lol i tried that already mool
that was my very first guess
heh
ooh i got it!
do the two en8 have the same root word?
same idea though
no
I clued them earlier
both are gerunds
aha, got the other one!
are there any DY words?
haven't found any so far
none found here either
still looking for 4 letter words ---- and the ones I'm thinking aren't here!
like data
still 63 left for me
29 four letter words
not exactly :D
14 left now here, that do be 90%
I have 64 of them now
monkeyed a lot - just going letter by letter
ok - 25 to go - break time
well, 48 to go now...only 18 of them 4s
so did everyone see the physicists' article about how civilization has a 90% chance of collapsing in the next 20-40 years?
No, seems on the face of it like something that is designed to capture headlines
well, it wasn't. i'll go get you the link.
thanks

thanks hurshy, looks interesting, will read later
Wow Hurshy, you
are cheery today
i can't help the facts of deforestation. not knowing about it won't make it any less likely to happen.
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
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
well, if some other scientists publish a rebuttal i will be very interested
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
Not sure why that would be applicable here either
Maws law was the amount of transistorts to a borad i forget exaclty it was quickly out of date though
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
Yes M3, though they are using it somewhat more broadly in that paper
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
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
does anyone have da6/24?
sounds like a chicago fan who likes throwing rope rings
chicago sports fan
bulls, bears, cubs.. hmm
well the latter part of the clue is more on point
it's a homophone that part, not the actual spelling, which is normally with qu :)
lol
i got the word with morewords, but still didn't understand your clue until you added that part
sorry :)
i was like... lasso, lariat, riata, cowboy, rodeo, bronco (that was the only one whose ending is in the grid)
i have heard of that qu5 game but did not know what it was like, didn't know it used rope rings
yeah
bit obscure
there's my learning for the day :D
and it's a very hard word to clue
even more obscure meaning
certain types of robbers or bandits in India/Myanmar
clue for na7,36 please
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
sorry, don't have na7 yet, will look
k, thx
na7 = short sleep + anagram of lo4/5
ty...never heard of it..not even a definition :(
ac
i was thinking some kind of chemical maybe?
maybe
is a fluorescent organic compound with the formula C10H7OH. It is a white solid (wikipedia)
Usually seen with another h in it
Thank you, that is why I couldn't get it
i have the z that is greek letter. what is other z word please?
the da 6 is A NAME! I dont know it as anything else.
The other z is a 6
da6/27 is the name of a flowering plant, mkg.
I think mkg means the da 6/21
which is a physics term
hi again
a flower that is a name --- looking - no dahlia though
ah -- see it now - ty
I wonder if anybody was ever named Da6/27 Da6/21?
don't have the da 6/21 if there is one
da6/21 - think Bond, the Timothy variety.
James Bond? -- no idea
oh -- the actor?
ok - that is a proper noun
Yes.
think I need to consult lickety now
A lot of physics terms are named after people
Ohm, Joule, Hertz....
Tesla too for that matter
darn - another da 6 before the actor
yeah, I clued it earlier today
the last part of the word sounds like a game played with rope rings
but it's a homophone
don't know the game
okay, it's pretty obscure
trying to think how else to clue it without just spelling it out
homophone for the actor?
there's a tower in san francisco on Telegraph HIll
oh yeah, that works thx bud
Nan, the game was in the grid yesterday, one of the qu words.
how about this: da6 = russian yes + prefix meaning 'together' + he/she/**
and it's even spelled the same, add it to da for the 6.
Or, da plus an eye in the baby bed.
ty -- don't see the homophone reference though
the qu word, which is the game, is a homophone for the last part of the word
ok - thought you were referring to a word in the list
sorry, difficult word to clue
thanks everyone -- got confused with all the clues flying at me -- doesn't take much :D
na 7 please?
It was clued about 90 minutes ago nan, it's a tricky one
i dont have that word either
off the board now -- unless it is the chemical formula which doesn't meany anything to me
well it start's with a sleep, and the last three letters sound like something you pay for driving over a bridge...there's another letter in there
ty mool
ty mool
last pe 6 please?
nm - found it
*!*~*!* thanks for the help :)
hello, peoples
hi carla

48. surprisingly slow.
are the bottom a's weird?
still missing one
the other a is unusual as a word

I'm not well versed it what is "typical" in that respect

what about the o?
it's relatively common in babble

I am always surprised when Du Maurier is in the grid. As they always say names are not allowed yet many are.
yeah, was pointing out earlier that a lot of physics terms are named after people
thx again, did not realize that was a word either
many clothing items are named after places
35 now!
what is the stat of the o? I give.
it's a flower :)
the du maurier one
the o one is oc
OC 5/14
My fave book by the author is Rebecca.

the other bottom A is unusual 4 letters ;)
hmmm
AD 4/10

I have az4/9 off the bottom
I will stop now have taken my meds. Finally got a doctors appointment tomorrow to have a cortisone injection after waiting over four months!
Happy babbling everyone!
oh duh, had the ad of the other one :)
I knew you must've had something different than me since you said it was kinda weird.
bottom row gray!
zooz, are you gone? I forgot, was it shoulder? did you find out what's wrong with it?
made it to 3 4's left and now only 5 a's. 28 total though.

there are two en8/55s
there are two en 8s....the other is ir 8/50....the en's have the same stats
ok, thx. this should keep me busy.
oh, found the ir!
Carla, are you getting weather from the hurricane?
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.
I miss The Weather Channel during hurricane season. :D
I feel kinda out of the loop with this one. haven't been reading news for a while.
ooh, got the last 8! thx, cluers
alright, going to do a zoom class even though my feet are killing me now. BBL for last 24!
okay, got 11 left, going to see if I can find any of them before I turn into a pumpkin

and seven of them are 4/5
8..
heading out....good luck, mool....bye all....
6
well, 5 to go...think I'm done
Da6/27 please?
Courting
Or the girl in Scooby Doo
Also a naiad in Greek mythology
I could go on about it being a proper noun, but why bother?
Already have the courting word....
Got the girl's name....tx!!
i think it is a stage of dragonfly development
Would someone please giv eme a nudge for the pa 7?
