You did use the word, idiocy. damookster Send a noteboard - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM

Do you also view it as idiocy that people continue to live in areas of India that flood during monsoon season?

Have y'all seen this? Qatar is air conditioning their open-air markets and stadiums. TyrReborn - 19/10/2019 06:06:47 AM 765 Views
This is nothing new. Qatar has had indoor ski slopes for years. *NM* damookster - 19/10/2019 11:32:07 PM 192 Views
cold air remains low to the ground or something? *NM* Roland00 - 19/10/2019 11:32:28 PM 193 Views
Right, but... surely an enclosed stadium would be more efficient. *NM* TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:49:37 PM 183 Views
Well, the city was built... fionwe1987 - 20/10/2019 09:48:37 PM 437 Views
Excuse Me? *NM* Roland00 - 20/10/2019 11:30:28 PM 256 Views
Yeah, I get that people don't want to move. But... TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:52:03 PM 363 Views
I think the extravagance is the point *NM* aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:53 PM 190 Views
Speculating here, but... fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:45:23 PM 401 Views
Why is it always the Gulf Coast that gets complained about when we rebuild? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 07:50:35 AM 407 Views
huh? aerocontrols - 23/10/2019 12:37:50 PM 385 Views
Re: huh? Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:52:29 PM 391 Views
That may simply be because earthquakes are less frequent than hurricanes, especially now *NM* fionwe1987 - 23/10/2019 09:46:47 PM 186 Views
They're less frequent, but we know where they're going to happen. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:42:15 AM 405 Views
No one is sneering... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 02:05:19 PM 414 Views
You did use the word, idiocy. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:09:45 PM 429 Views
Fair. But I don't mean it at an individual level. I think... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2019 08:46:06 PM 455 Views
Re: huh? aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 06:01:36 PM 395 Views
That means we need to abandon places where millions of people live. Just in the US. Ghavrel - 28/10/2019 02:24:36 AM 437 Views
Please read my 2nd paragraph again aerocontrols - 28/10/2019 04:06:32 PM 355 Views
Aerocontrols do you think Augusta Kansas should not exist? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:35:22 AM 396 Views
I think there's an argument to be made aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 05:50:26 PM 397 Views
But the Halloween flood of 98 was not like that Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:41:28 PM 336 Views
Augusta flooded again last spring. aerocontrols - 24/10/2019 08:24:39 PM 403 Views
A little over sensitive? damookster - 23/10/2019 08:21:39 PM 376 Views
Very. I had enough of people blaming us for Katrina to last a lifetime. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/10/2019 08:53:44 PM 193 Views
to my point, however.... damookster - 23/10/2019 10:27:04 PM 403 Views
I don't really know how that's relevant though. I'm not talking about insurance. Ghavrel - 24/10/2019 04:40:58 AM 394 Views
I guess my point damookster - 24/10/2019 02:03:08 PM 471 Views
Mookie why aren't you using the same logic about the California fires? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 07:53:19 PM 412 Views
because to the best of my knowledge, homeowners insurance in California is not unobtainable damookster - 25/10/2019 03:07:57 AM 421 Views
California Insurance for Fire is becoming a Market Failure Roland00 - 25/10/2019 06:35:28 AM 386 Views
As someone who *lives* in California Jeordam - 25/10/2019 04:38:49 PM 424 Views
Sigh you are missing my point I was saying about Scapegoating Roland00 - 25/10/2019 09:45:48 PM 464 Views
I didn't miss what you said.... Jeordam - 25/10/2019 11:35:23 PM 412 Views
Let me see if we are on the same page here. Roland00 - 26/10/2019 01:08:45 AM 411 Views
*nods* I knew what you were saying. Jeordam - 29/10/2019 09:53:30 PM 383 Views
Are you also calling me oversensitive Damookster for I had the same complaint? Roland00 - 24/10/2019 05:30:59 AM 378 Views
I was teasing Gabe. damookster - 24/10/2019 02:06:17 PM 367 Views
Sorry for misunderstanding Roland00 - 24/10/2019 06:43:36 PM 541 Views
You do realize that all of Qatar is desert? Legolas - 21/10/2019 07:53:24 PM 395 Views
What I was really commenting on is, wouldn't it be more efficient to enclose those areas? TyrReborn - 21/10/2019 10:51:00 PM 420 Views
Probably. For the stadiums, I thought they did do that, not sure about the markets... Legolas - 22/10/2019 05:57:11 PM 354 Views
Most of Antarctica is desert aerocontrols - 21/10/2019 11:51:04 PM 379 Views
