The Arctic “doomsday” seed vault just flooded

[captain morgan]

So, did you just want to divert this thread to your hobbyhorse, or have you decided the seed vault is one of your imaginary enemies too?

Imaginary enemies?

Lemme guess, your part of the tin foil hat brigade, right?

Imaginary enemies?

Yep, imaginary enemies, i.e., the librulleftycommiegreenenvironmentalwelfare monsters.

You're (note spelling) a part-time member of the Tin Toques. I prefer a nice Plainsman.

Oh my! That must keep you up to all the wee hours of the night patrolling the streets.

I shudder to think of the possible ramifications in the event someone heads out for some skittles in the middle of the night

What ever floats yer foil hatter fantasies... Fill yer boots bud

I prefer a nice Plainsman.

That's nice.

Any moral conundrums or issues surrounding cultural appropriation I should be worried aboot?

PS - Spelled about phonetically such that there was no miscommunication

No moral conundra (note pluralization) I give a damn about. Funny how, despite the fact that I mock the "cultural appropriation" shriekers as much as anybody here, and more than most, you think your cute little shot has some effect. Or relevance to me.

Well, it probably does on some of the stupider vegetables in the audience.

Clearly it must have stirred up something.

It certainly dropped my estimation of you. I'll try to keep remembering that when you feel like it, you're one of the smartest guys on the board.

From the OP

(Update: According to new reporting from Popular Science, it turns out that there’s some water intrusion into the front of the facility most summers as seasonal meltwater creeps its way in. Popular Science also reports that the seed vault is a bit uphill from the entrance. So it would take much, much more water to overwhelm the seeds. In any case, it’s something to monitor. The amount of meltwater this season was unexpected. And in the arctic, that’s concerning.)

Just more of

Your estimation of me was extremely low to begin with.

That said, it is what it is
