[09:00:45] <FatPhil> since when has "skill" meant whatever it appears to mean in that article/vid? To me, a "skill" is an ability, thus an abstract noun. But it's being used as if it's something concrete.
[09:13:26] <inz> I guess it sounded better than "trojan horse" or "spyware"
[09:13:45] <inz> Isn't that what "app" stands for nowadays?
[09:15:19] <FatPhil> At least apps were one applications, which at least had some history to it.
[09:16:34] <FatPhil> A fairly serious quiz show we watch had the question "what does 'app' stand for" recently, and the contestant didn't know the answer. So even that history has been largely lost already.

[11:39:44] <FatPhil> bloody hell, lots of things in the air today. Haven't gone 5 minutes without hearing a helicopter
[11:46:55] <inz> FatPhil, nope. :/
[11:57:16] <inz> FatPhil, off the top of my head, I would guess swedish ört
[12:00:59] <inz> (wiktionary seems to suggest that both ört and yrtti come from old swedish yrt)
[12:03:35] <FatPhil> yeah, makes sense. https://www.wordsense.eu has more connections
[12:04:02] <FatPhil> I was wondering if it had anything to do with Latin "urtica"

[19:22:47] <Runaway1956> Hey Fatphil - is that a tunnel from Virtsu to Kuivastu? How long is that?
[19:24:50] <Runaway1956> And, another from Rohukula to Heltermaa - cool
[19:25:51] <Runaway1956> But no bridge or tunnel between the two islands that I can see
[19:29:41] <Runaway1956> I don't see any helicopters on Google Earth - you're just making that up!
[19:50:06] <FatPhil> virtsu-kuiastu's a ferry last time I knew
[19:52:14] <Runaway1956> OK, I saw a line, and the same highway number on both sides, I thought it was a tunnel or something
[20:09:27] <FatPhil> yup, the ferries are just part of the road system, all free.

[23:23:14] <tedious> At least one organization doesn't want to destroy civilization.
[23:23:48] <tedious> Is europe freezing to death because it turned off the russian gas supply yet?
[23:24:40] <tedious> I'm becoming convinced that our so-called leaders really don't care if any or all of us live or die.
[23:26:43] <Runaway1956> I don't think the gas has been turned off yet, tedious, there are only threats to do so
[23:27:24] <Runaway1956> And suddenly, we are willing to talk to Maduro about buying oil from Venezuela
[23:31:51] <FatPhil> Yeah, what "it turned off the russian gas supply" are you referring to?
[23:31:59] <FatPhil> Are you making your own facts up again?
[23:46:59] <Bytram> FatPhil: I tool that as a question, and the answer is "NO" because Europe did NOT turn "off the russian gas supply yet?"
[23:47:01] <tedious> I was asking.
[23:47:11] <tedious> How is asking making up my own facts?
[23:47:50] <Bytram> tedious: see my comment; I took it as a question
[23:48:12] <tedious> Yes I see that now
[23:48:24] <tedious> one second before I responded.
