new record for highest temperature: 18.3C / 64.94F [^] PETA, in collaboration with Greta Thunberg's YSMC "You Stole My Childhood" group, has started a fundraiser for a rescue mission for penguins with heat prostration: geodesic shelters will be erected all along the coastal areas where penguins congregate; they will have special solar-powered high-frequency sound emitters tuned to the pitch known to repel walruses and seals, but, for male penguins, said pitch has been shown to function as an aphrodisiac.

A record readout for one weather station. The average for the continent is still well below what most people would consider comfortable (heck, bearable) without a winter jacket, boots and gloves. Inland, it's still one of the coldest places on Earth, where temperatures below -60C are not uncommon. Is the east coast still accumulating snow and ice faster than the west coast is melting? (I may have east/west reversed, but my point stands) Not being a denier. Just observing they still have better snowmobiling weather than we do here near Ottawa.

You deny, then, that penguins are suffering ?

sigh, so a bunch of people are going to trample all over the penguins isolated (for a very good reason) to make some shelters for a bird that comes out of the cold water to warm up (which is why they stand rather than lie on the cold ground.) once a long time ago even trees grew on Antarctica, yet the penguins are still with us. They have their own way to cope, and the last thing they need is a bunch of idiots stumbling blindly though their lives (most birds will not return to a nest tampered by humans, penguins have nests though most wouldn't recognise it as such if they even looked really hard with expert assistance and bright yellow paint.) As to this aphrodisiac effect, WTF? WTF? Lets give aphrodisiacs to our kids and then wonder why they are too lazy to go out and do normal things? Really WTFFF?? Way to reduce a population. As to sounds that repel [the seals], what does an animal do if something just keeps annoying them, they eventually get real pissed of, take out their shotgun and blow it away. WTFFFFF are you thinking? these people self righteous idiots see a small part, just a spec of a story they think is not to their liking and think fixing that fixes everything. It doesn't, most likely will introduce two or likely more new things that now need fixing. These domes are a new pollution in their environment, so you are replacing one "perceived" problem with a definite new problem - these domes will fall apart and add litter (which some little birdies may eat), these things will rot their components and literally poison the very ground these animals need, and once again that's after a bunch of wankers first went through and kicked down their houses. Sadly foolishness isn't the problem - we've always had it and always will. it's letting it abound, even championing and praising it is what's really wrong. In this there is not "no wisdom," worse than that it's the polar opposite!
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Thanks for doing the sanity check (and making such a good job of it). It was a task I wasn't looking forward to.

I understand that snowmobiling suddenly got better as of this afternoon? :-D School buses cancelled, parking bans, etc all good signs. Greetings from the West Coast where snow is fleeting, at least in the lowlying areas.

As I understand it, there's still this separate matter of [some sort of dispute](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/insurance-impasse-snowmobile-season-eastern-ontairo-1.5437724) between some snowmobile association and insurers. So, no.

Penguins are quite essential in the discussion. You may of course want to run another dialog where penguins are kept away from anybody's attention. Or you may demand that in this thread with several participants, those that follow up your statement strictly limit themselves to whatever is on your mind. If that principle is consistently followed, that no poster should bring in (or bring back) anything not referred to by the previous poster, the majority of threads would dwindle away almost instantly.

Now, you admit you are not even aware of penguins ! That is shocking, but, it is a _first ste_p to recovery, and I suggest you attend your local penguin consciousness raising twelve-step program to start the long and difficult process of rehabilipenguin.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Possibly one of the most irrelevant comment's I've read outside of the SoapBox. It's :elephant:ing Antarctica. If the remark is supposed to prove or underline some point . . . well, it doesn't. Just a statement with a perceived connection that really has no connection to the topic. Like commenting on a shark attack at some beach with something like "beach-goers often spend their time surrounded by sand."

Nobody knows if they are, except for the guy who talks to penguins.
