Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Occasionally I've seen articles on an engraved stone in Europe that serves as a high-tide or high-water mark and has for at least a few hundred years. Despite alllll the claims of global warming and rising oceans, it is still an accurate marker.
I've searched but can't find a link to an online article for it. Does anyone know where I can find something about it?
Maybe that could be it. The picture looks similar, though I think I still remember something similar in Europe. Two such things would be obvious ways to disprove climate-change ocean rise, but they bend themselves in knots to try to 'disprove' any obvious evidence ... Apparently, some sources say Plymouth Rock was moved in the 1920's, so there's that.
It almost makes you wonder if they moved such an obvious marker that people could point to as evidence that man-made climate change is bunk in advance just for that reason.
Are you talking about actual Highwater mark’s, or mud floods?
I can’t vouch for this website, but here’s some interesting info.

It is a stone that marks high tide during a certain part of the year. It's in some European country (Netherlands, maybe). It's enclosed by walls and secured behind metal bars to keep it from being stolen. It's something like 300 or more years old and still accurately marks the high water point at around the same time of year.
Interesting and I have not heard of this.
