    No there are facts. However saying something that is probable is a fact is not correct. 
     
    I have a fish tank in my living room is a fact. 
    I will still have a fish tank in my living room in 1 months time is not a fact. It is highly probable, but not a fact. 

    !!! FREE THE FISHES !!!

    Never said I had fishes 😉

     

    That is a fact 😂

    In that case there are no facts. In fact there are no facts in science hence you get climate change deniers and the like

    You're clearly just incapable of understanding the point I am making, I have tried very hard to explain it but it does seem beyond you. Let me try one more time even though it's likely futile.

    You're about to roll a dice 10,000 times. I say "you are going to get a bunch of six's out of that number, fact!" no one needs you to go "well actually, by definition we don't know that is fact, despite the odds being almost zero, the odds can't possibly be completely zero because it is an event in the future based on mathematical probability so technically that isn't a factual claim" Your suggestion I don't understand what you are saying is nonsense, I have made it very clear it's the technique I am showing to be ineffective. 

    That would be an example of you being pedantic and you have done the same thing millions (not literally) of times to me alone over our history on BAWA. You did the same thing regarding lockdown deaths. "Lockdown has saved lives, that is fact" "sHoW mE pRoOf It Is FaCt?!" Do you see yet the point I am making? You drive to the pedantic over the semantics of words, you do it often. 

    My missus has just picked up some steaks for tonight "Steak for dinner that's my favourite, fact!" I don't need you saying "well actually there may have been something else that would be considered your favourite that you haven't tasted before or it was such a long time ago you forgot. Or maybe the steaks are just for her, you can't say it's fact you'll be eating steak which is your favourite."

    If you genuinely still don't get the point I'm making I would kindly ask you to maybe ask someone to explain it to you verbally, it would be a lot better way to help you visualise my point. (note please don't come back saying "how do you know it would be better?"

    To your other point, on "sufficient evidence" we've touched on this before as well. There is no need to evidence lockdown saved more than zero lives in a country of 66 million people, your claim is ridiculous that it might not be the case. Of course it's the case. I didn't win the lottery five times in a row earlier this year, do you need proof of that? 

    Christ you've just made a post saying he's right that it's not fact, but he should know what you mean. 😂 Only you. 

     

    Highly probable and fact are not the same thing, but hey it's everybody else that's wrong

    As I said, I can't message, maybe some understanding member could request an explanation from the Moderator?

    You might have to wait for an answer, he's not been on the site for over a week. 

    Who binned you then?

    The F Man looks close to the edge. I know we all go easy on him but it looks like we will have to be extra tolerant just now. He is clearly facing challenges. 

    When bazil stops replying to you, it's time to chuck it. Do us all a favour.

    14 slapsalmon.

    It's 14.

    Thanks for your concern. I'll be topping up later.

    Or I could print off your posts and use those to wipe my arse instead. :P

    14 and your buyin more? Ffs you using it to wipe your mouth with all the shite you talk as well? 😂

     

    I've never tried yo wipe my arse with printer paper but I can't imagine it's very soft on the old sphincter

    Is this you pissing off yet more posters Baz?

    Still think the problem is everyone else no doubt.

    Mind you, one of them is slapsalmon so that doesn't fully count. 🤣

    I already said, I'm mildly annoyed by the use of overlay instead of overly. Not quite pissed off. 

    Away and count your toilet roll stash.

    I've always been more of an analytical thinker... You'll get the spelling police out every once in a while which is fine, no issue with being corrected. Now that you point it out I am actually annoyed with myself at such a simple error so often, so thank you. 

    If that has genuinely impacted anyone understanding my posts, they're welcome to ask for clarity. I doubt that's happened very often though. Probably more likely used as a means of being pedantic. 

    If you want me to be pedantic I'd say that you spelled overlay correctly. You should've used overly. Both of those are correct spellings.

    You mean like they used to paint ships with them as camouflage. emoji54.png

    Dazzle camouflage wasn't to make them ships not stand out. It was to make it hard to gauge distance and heading in time before radars were as advanced as they are now.

    It isn't the "save the pot" option in the way you presented it, which was it couldn't be  touched until completion. I think even in these extreme times when a save option still can't win, it just shows the view remains strictly in the minority. 

    Certainly not enough appetite to bring it back for consideration at any future meeting (probably pointless now anyway with the Kibble deal) 

    The spend the pot this month was won by a minority of the membership as well though 😘
