Yes, but I don't want them to be in the Lounge. The Lounge is for informal chat, ideally. I want Politics & Current Affairs to be a proper top-level m...

A decision was made to put an end to politics and current affairs on TPF, so those threads have gradually been moved to the Lounge and closed. We may ...

I was browsing the internet for books about the Nazis and the Holocaust and found this. /uploads/resized/files/yg/9injwr92muqwib6h.jpg Thought I'd sha...

I won't continue to repeat my critique the OP. As you say about my "fair criticism"... So I will aim to please. Here you formulate a thought experimen...

Come to think of it, maybe it's worse even than that: the only way the war can be remembered is wrongly, (e.g., as a moral fable, as good guys vs bad ...

Maybe it's worse than that: remembering them doesn't make any difference. Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes I sit in the top of the wood, my eyes closed. In...

That's okay, it would be churlish to let it vex me. My English cousins do it. Even my wife does it. What I continue to do is graciously correct them. ...

Regular? How dare you!

Close enough perhaps, but I think of the phoneme /?/ as the unvoiced "w". To me, representing this with an "h" is an approximation. But it's controver...

Just like the "th" of "thin", which is voiceless, in contrast to the "th" of "there", which is voiced, the "wh" in "whale" is voiceless, when I say it...

Excellent. Wikipedia confirms it:

Many people pronounce them the same, but I and most other Scottish people pronounce the last one differently. Irish people too maybe? Welsh? I can ima...

Who is in turn a subversion of E.T.

Who seems to have been a version of Alf Garnett.

Sometimes even two sides of the same coin.

Their epic feud no longer rages, but now merely simmers.

I think you're still missing the point. It is your failing if you consider the OP to have made some kind of argumentative achievement. 1. A man is an ...

This is the contested definition. To begin here is to begin too late, ignoring the substance of the philosophical debate, making your conclusion inevi...

I didn't even know there were rivers, let alone such extensive river systems, in the interior there. Now I've learned something I can finally go to be...

I saw many dried up river beds in Spain, which turned to raging torrents in autumn. You already have kangaroos, platypuses, and numbats. Don't try to ...

Don't feel bad. Even the Volga never reaches the ocean, the Caspian Sea being no more than a salty lake, and an endorheic one at that. Sad really.

The main thing is, it's wet enough.

Hello, NDers. I intend to get back to it in February.

Gneiss.

According to several books I've read, and the map below, it is possible to travel to the hollow interior of the Earth via balloon, entering at one of ...

Oh don't worry, I've split wood before, as you'd know if you read my posts. Maybe do your research next time!

To sever the land might be merely to sever the crust, not the entire planet.

Maybe I should stop not reading the news again. :chin:

It's good to fly between Britain and Turkey on a clear day and follow the two rivers, as they glint in the autumn sunshine, and you wave to the ducks.

Hey, I haven't accepted its truth yet.

No, totally real man (I had to Google "Grok"). Whatever floats your boat.

We're edging closer to the question: what is a map, really?

@"javi2541997" I restored your deleted post. See above.

@"javi2541997" I deleted a duplicate post of yours, but now they're both gone. Blame Hanover!

Ah, that's cos it's not a map!

Here is a photo I took a few days ago when I was out sightseeing. /uploads/resized/files/9b/pwp8z3ul30jkbug1.jpeg Thoughts?

Whoever produced the map should be exposed as a liar and a fraud, and an enemy of Spain.

Talking of the Júcar, I spent a weekend in Cuenca a few years ago. At that point in the river's course, it cuts gorges through the landscape, producin...

Yes, but the Turia is surely longer and more important than the Mijares, which is the one you labeled as the Júcar.

That's the Júcar, yes, but that's not the one you labelled as the Júcar in your previous post. Thus, I still affirm my position.

@"Philosophim" Just a reminder that you forgot to respond to my post: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/1027962 If you'd rather not na...

I think your map is not quite right. The river labelled as the Júcar is probably the Mijares. The Júcar is the one you haven't labelled which rises ve...

Yes, they are less dry. I didn't realize how close the sources were of some Spanish rivers draining in opposite directions. That was quite a difficult...

Don't worry. :up:
