Act III: The Forgotten World

Thousands of years had passed since the Brelkani fled Vynar. They had carved out a pitiful existence in the void, drifting from star to star in a decaying fleet. Over generations, the story of their homeworld faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a whispered legend.

The Brelkani of the present were a shadow of their ancestors, their translucent skin now thin as paper, their eyes dull and sunken. They lived on scraps, salvaging what they could from their dying ships. Life in the fleet was one of misery and desperation.

But rumors of the lost world persisted. “The Sea of Light,” they called it, a mythical paradise where their kind once thrived. To some, it was a place of salvation; to others, it was nothing more than a fable.

One ship, the Pioneer’s Ghost, had become obsessed with finding it. Its captain, Alren, was a brash young leader with a fire in his heart. “If there’s even a chance Vynar exists,” he told his crew, “we owe it to ourselves to try. Out here, we’re already dead.”

His crew, though skeptical, shared his hunger for hope. They scoured ancient records, piecing together fragments of data, coordinates buried in corrupted archives. When they finally pinpointed a location, the excitement was electric.

The Pioneer’s Ghost set course for the rumored coordinates. As they approached, the crew gathered at the observation deck, eager for a glimpse of what might await them. When Vynar appeared, there was a collective gasp.

The planet was breathtaking. Its coral forests towered higher than any structure they had ever seen. The oceans glowed brighter than the old tales had described, and the skies were alive with vibrant auroras.

“It’s real,” Alren whispered, tears streaming down his face. “We’ve found it.”

But something was wrong. The scanners picked up strange fluctuations in the atmosphere—dense clouds of spores swirling like storm systems. The air seemed alive, pulsing in rhythmic waves.

“The readings are unstable,” warned Aril, the ship’s biologist. “The ecosystem… it’s unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s as if the planet itself is reacting to us.”

Alren waved her off. “We’ve come too far to turn back. Prepare for descent.”

The Pioneer’s Ghost entered the atmosphere. Almost immediately, the ship began to shudder violently. Alren gripped the controls as alarms blared.

“It’s the spores!” Aril shouted. “They’re interacting with the ship’s systems—breaking them down!”

Tendrils of glowing mist seeped into the hull, corroding metal and electronics. The ship spiraled out of control, crashing into one of the towering coral forests.

The survivors, battered and broken, emerged into the strange, vibrant world. The air was thick with bioluminescent spores, which clung to their skin and burned like acid. The coral structures swayed as if alive, their tendrils reaching out toward the intruders.

“This… this isn’t our home,” Aril gasped, her voice filled with horror. “Not anymore.”

Alren, clutching a broken arm, stared at the glowing sea. “No. It’s ours. We belong here.” He stumbled forward, his steps growing slower as the spores consumed him.

The coral trembled, and the tendrils closed in. One by one, the crew succumbed—dissolved, consumed by the very world they had sought to reclaim.

As the last of the Brelkani fell, the planet seemed to exhale, its vibrant colors intensifying. The ecosystem continued its dance, unbothered by the fleeting presence of its former inhabitants.

The Pioneer’s Ghost was swallowed by the coral forest, leaving no trace of its arrival. Above, the auroras shimmered in quiet defiance, as if to say: You were never meant to return.

And Vynar, alive and whole, carried on, untouched by the brief, desperate lives of the species that had once called it home.


Act II: The Fractured Journey

The colony ships glided through the endless dark, their engines powered by a miracle fuel extracted from the glowing seas of Vynar. Onboard, the Brelkani adapted as best they could to life among the stars. Artificial coral groves provided shade and filtered recycled air, while nutrient paste kept their fragile bodies alive.

Mirka, now a symbol of their exodus, spent her days overseeing ship operations. The destination was Lorith-5, a distant exoplanet identified as habitable centuries ago. But the journey was long, and the strain on the Brelkani began to show. Their pale skin grew thinner, their movements slower. The artificial environment could not replicate the intricate balance of their home.

Karyon, now the lead biologist aboard the flagship Radiance, became increasingly concerned. “The nutrient paste is failing,” he reported to Mirka during a tense meeting. “The synthetic compounds lack key trace elements that Vynar’s ecosystem provided. Without them, our bodies are degrading.”

Mirka frowned, her once radiant face now gaunt. “Then we’ll adapt,” she said. “We’ve always been adaptable.”

Karyon’s voice grew sharper. “Adapting takes generations, Mirka. We don’t have that kind of time.”

The strain of survival fractured the fleet. Some ships, desperate to replenish supplies, began to scavenge from one another. This cannibalism of resources sowed mistrust among the crews. Onboard the Radiance, Mirka struggled to maintain unity.

One day, an urgent alert sounded across the fleet. A derelict alien ship, enormous and ancient, was detected drifting nearby. Hope surged through the Brelkani: perhaps it contained resources or technology they could use.

Mirka authorized an expedition. A small team, including Karyon, boarded the alien vessel. The air inside was stale, but breathable. The ship’s architecture was eerily familiar—sweeping curves and organic designs reminiscent of Vynar’s coral forests.

“This… isn’t just any alien ship,” Karyon whispered as he examined the walls. “It looks like it was made by beings like us.”

Mirka, watching the expedition feed from the safety of the Radiance, dismissed the idea. “Coincidence,” she said. “Focus on finding supplies.”

The team ventured deeper into the ship, finding chambers filled with desiccated remains. The skeletal figures bore striking similarities to the Brelkani, their translucent skin stretched tight over fragile bones.

Karyon’s unease deepened. He discovered ancient records, holographic archives documenting the ship’s history. The beings who had built it were, in fact, an ancient offshoot of the Brelkani species. They had fled Vynar millennia earlier, seeking to escape the planet’s dangers. But they, too, had overconsumed their resources and been forced to the stars.

The holograms revealed their fate: the beings had exhausted their supplies, unable to adapt to life away from Vynar. They had perished, their ship adrift in the void.

Karyon returned to the Radiance, shaken. “This is a warning,” he told Mirka. “We’ve done this before. And it didn’t work.”

Mirka refused to believe it. “We are different,” she said. “We have the fleet. We have Lorith-5. We will survive.”

But Karyon wasn’t convinced. As he delved deeper into the records, he found another revelation: the fuel powering their ships wasn’t just a resource. It was alive. The glowing seas of Vynar had been sentient, a symbiotic entity sustaining the planet’s ecosystem and the Brelkani themselves. By draining the oceans, they had not just destroyed their world but severed a lifeline they hadn’t understood.

“We’ve not just left Vynar,” Karyon said to Mirka in their private quarters. “We’ve killed the very thing that made our existence possible.”

Mirka, her determination faltering, whispered, “Then what are we now?”

Karyon’s response was grim. “Dead. We just haven’t realized it yet.”

End of Act II


Act I: The Skyward Ambition

The planet Vynar was a paradise of fragility. Its skies shimmered with auroras from constant solar bombardment, and its oceans teemed with bioluminescent life. But the Brelkani, its dominant species, lived on a knife’s edge. Their pale, translucent skin burned under even the faintest sunlight, forcing them to shelter beneath towering coral-like structures that filtered the light. Their lifespans were short, averaging only 20 years.

Despite their vulnerability, the Brelkani were dreamers. Their minds were sharp, and their ingenuity unmatched. For centuries, their philosophers and engineers spoke of one ambition: to leave Vynar and colonize other planets. They believed their survival depended on escaping their fragile world, as its ecosystem teetered under the weight of overpopulation and resource depletion.

Councilor Mirka, the youngest member of the planetary council at 14 years old, was the voice of the new generation. “Our home is dying,” she declared during a meeting of the council, her voice clear and unyielding. “The time has come for us to move beyond Vynar, or our species will perish.”

Her words resonated, and the council approved the “Skyward Project”—a daring initiative to construct massive colony ships capable of reaching distant worlds. The Brelkani had no time for caution or ethical dilemmas. They scoured Vynar for every scrap of rare mineral, every ounce of energy. Coral forests were razed, the luminous oceans were drained of their glow as their ecosystems collapsed. The planet bled, but the ships rose.

Among the architects of this endeavor was Karyon, a biologist who had long warned against such reckless consumption. “We are destroying the very world that sustains us,” he pleaded to Mirka one evening as they stood in the shadow of the first completed colony ship.

“The world that was sustaining us,” Mirka corrected, her eyes alight with resolve. “Soon, we’ll have no need for it. We can rebuild elsewhere.”

Karyon shook his head. “Elsewhere might not exist. And if it does, it might not want us there.”

But the momentum of the Skyward Project was unstoppable. Within months, the first wave of ships was ready. As the launch day arrived, the planet was unrecognizable. Vast swathes of its coral canopy had been reduced to skeletal remains, and the oceans were drained of their radiance. The skies, once alive with auroras, now swirled with ash from industrial furnaces.

The Brelkani watched the departure in silence, their frail bodies huddled under the last remnants of coral shade. Karyon, with a heavy heart, boarded the lead ship alongside Mirka. The engines roared to life, and the planet’s surface was bathed in firelight as the ships ascended into the cosmos.

As Vynar shrank into the void, Mirka stood at the observation deck, a triumphant smile on her face. “We’ve done it,” she whispered.

But Karyon’s gaze lingered on their homeworld. “We’ve left it behind,” he murmured. “And something tells me it isn’t finished with us yet.”

Why everything has to be a conspiracy? The food industry is so evil that the CEOs sat down and hatched a plan how to make us all sick, probably buying stock in drug companies to fix it?

This sloppy thinking does not pass through the razors. It is complicated (Occam's razor) and much better explained by stupidity (Hanlon's razor) than malice.

People are confused by this, because they see emergent behavior. Yes, everything has sugar, because sugar sells. There's no conspiracy, the companies are selling people what they want. So don't want what is not good for you.

I know that it's much more fun to believe that there's an evil with a face and name causing all our troubles rather than saying people demand this and market supplies.

People can't agree on a date of a meeting with five people. But world wide conspiracy flourishes, it's kept mostly secret (except of you, right? You're one of the few that know about it, because someone tweeted about it).

Conspiracies are for people who want to complain and find whose fault something is. Much better approach for each individual - identify what's good for you and demand it. And don't get fooled by emergent behavior in complex systems. It might feel planned, but it just appears out of trillions of interactions. Yes, it's magic. Soros, Gates and Klaus don't have much more say in it than you do.


Nah man the system doesn’t make mistakes they needed to introduce these ideas to the population now for their next phase. 🤔🤣🤔

What they have planned next is even crazier and they needed to move the Overton window. Trumps first presidency created more anxiety for team blue, now post Covid the baseline of extreme has been moved for team red. Biden provided the pause of normalcy in some places while driving extremes in others, now we are back in a Trump presidency. Now it’s team blues turn to be stretched. Covid wasn’t a mistake it was a step.

I could keep going but the joke has run its course and I’m having second thoughts.

People need to learn how to destruct destructive processes. You do this by exaggerating their demand. Bring all old phones with you and declare all those IMEIs. Then only use WiFi with your tablet.


A great portion of people already refuse to vote. Voting participation is like 60% on a high cycle meaning 40% don’t.

The system keeps rolling. Not voting doesn’t do anything more than voting. Perhaps they both do nothing, but it doesn’t do more.

To the Trump voters, congrats. The dragon was dispatched, you did it. Now please return to being skeptical of the government.

To the Kamala supporters, you lost. Better luck next time. Please don’t embarrass yourselves contorting your perceptions trying to desperately keep hope alive for your candidate with claims of voter fraud or refuse to live in the observable reality.


I understand he had his appeal chance and the Supreme Court denied hearing it, letting the appeal stand. I have not read the appeal judgements, but a judge sentencing that includes “facts” that were not established by the jury of his peers, is the problem. You are found guilty of X, you were not found guilty of Y, your sentence is what it is because you did Y, So says the prosecution who did not charge it or did not meet the evidentiary threshold to persuade a jury.    None the less the judge includes that as a fact established. But he didn’t wave his right to a jury trial did he? So who established that fact? Juries are supposed to establish the facts of a case. Justice served? Seems like no to me so far.


My greatest fear is coming true guys. It looks like one of them is going to win. #elections #politics


Certainly true. But to push it abit, if acorns are good to eat for the squirrel because they plant 20% for new seedlings and seeds are good for birds because some of the seeds consumed are distributed as they pass through their system, so there was co-evolution, aren’t these seeds that humans are propagating in seed oils successful from an evolutionary perspective, aren’t humans distributing the seeds through agriculture. The deer doesn’t want to be eaten either by the wolf or the human. I’m just saying the food that is good for a species is more dependent on the species evolving to consume it rather than the consumed species getting a benefit from it such that they allow itself to be consumed for the benefit.


Cool but you missed 🥧


I’ll continue the question, honestly asking. ‘Seeds contain anti nutrients because the plant doesn’t want us to eat their babies’ The answer has to be more than just that though, because plants don’t want birds eating their babies either. But we wouldn’t say that birds that eat seeds are poisoned by them would we? It has to mostly be that since we aren’t evolved to eat them we cannot process them or similar. Right?


Remember back when people were claiming bird flu was going to be used to disrupt standard election procedures? Huh I guess that didn’t happen.


Good work, keep seeking out alternative viewpoints.

The risk to rug is the same between lightning and mint if neither is mine. Privacy is better with mint. I expect semi trusted brands like Alby could adopt mints as a benefit for all.

I want to try running a node, but i hear maintaining a lightning node in good operation is hard complicated work that looses out as a profit maker. I assume these pressures have shaped Alby’s choice in creating the hub, which is not as vulnerable to government pressure?

“The state is a weapon” and you would rather use it yourself than let others use it against you. It’s logical. But by wielding the state as a weapon you will allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon. And if you allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon against your enemies, you are leaving the state to be strong enough to be used as a weapon against yourself. It’s only a matter of time. “It has happened in every society on earth. It will happen”

Agreed on location of services. I see the location in “contact us” but when I first visit the page I’m trying to quickly assess is this relevant to me. For me I think that means location and approximate price.

When I click on “appointments” in the menu it sends me to a plant nursery website I think you want it to take you to the same place as when you go to Contact > appointment.

I want to see prices. Maybe an “explore our services” page where each of the services you offer are priced out on a hypothetical piece of land that is typical of your target customer. Or just that scenario after you introduce each service on the services page. I want to be able to get enough information from your site without talking to you yet, what the service I am interested in will approximately cost. I also don’t want to be surprised when we actually speak on this appointment and you get all the details on my property and can finally quote it. I know that can be hard but I only want to be surprised down in price. Surprised up in price and I’m going to hesitate, if I can get sufficient information to know this is what I want then I will be motivated to make the next step of seeking an appointment if our chat is as good or better than what I was anticipating. If I can’t get that information in advance I will have more hesitation to set up the call and probably won’t. I don’t want to have an awkward phone call where I tell you I’m not interested because of price or whatever the thing is that I’m surprised by in a negative way.


Don’t you have to be making some kind of prediction of what you think the user will want inorder to send user specific content? They liked this before I think they will like this thing which is similar to it?


To get feedback at scale you could, on the relay side, make predictions of what Engagement is expected on each note (like, zap, comment) and tweak the algo based on what actually happens on the note. Compare actual vs predicted and rerun your recommendations. Is that what you are doing?

IMO no, algorithms are just ways of sorting and filtering data. They are what makes the internet useful. My preference would be for algorithms I can control.

Poor guy went to the WEF to shill his half baked ‘carbon footprint’ tool his devs hacked together (Which couldn’t have been anything more than a table of common purchases and their average carbon use, linked to the merchant category code, like grocery, pharmacy, fuel, restaurant, sporting goods, etc); for the high fives and positive press and he ends up in one world government B-roll for the rest of his life. 🤣

Whatever is used in dark markets is the best argument I don’t have a rebuttal for in my debates with myself. Whatever is really censorship resistant is being used in places where censorship has occurred. The Bitcoin maxi self own of pointing out dollars are used more frequently for illicit activity than Bitcoin is not an endorsement for Bitcoin as a currency. I know this but I have yet to act on it.


In a humans natural state they work, hunt, gather, and grow highly perishable items. And humans have been acquiring ways of decreasing perishability for just as long as they have been working, hunting, gathering, and growing. Bitcoin if it holds up to its promise is a tool to that end. So was fiat. So was fermentation. So was stone tools.


I think yes atleast I had a recent expierence where Nostore was broke for me but fine after I updated. My guess was an update that they made for 18 broke prior versions.


I will be voting for the LP candidate. I’m not in the “Your vote doesn’t count cult”  or the “By voting you are legitimizing the system cult” it is a fairly low effort act, but If you want to free Ross, support the party Trump was pandering to when he made the promise to free Ross. Because, I and enough other LP voters in past elections have highlighted a voting block willing to vote for these issues, you now have a candidate pandering to the block in a tight race. Bringing the promise into existence from Trump’s lips was not done by people in the red team. It was done by a group of people making the credible claim that they would not be voting for him, via the existence of their own political party advocating for those issues. The more votes the other parties see exist in the LP, the more positions they will have to adopt from the LP. There is more than one Ross that needs to be freed. I will be celebrating too, on that day if it comes. it will be something I contributed multiple election cycles in the making by supporting LP candidates and ballot access to form the threat and group large enough to get pandered to. The popular vote total for the LP directly assists in achieving ballot access in some states which makes the credible threat of eligible participating voters.

Have a good day.

This happens every 11 years. Yes the Carrington event is something to be considered. I don’t think we know enough to know how frequently such an event happens, it’s a black swan. You can get forecasts and updates from NOAA. Anything less than a G5 storm is pretty routine for the average Joe they don’t notice in daily life. I don’t know about the weather stuff, if it’s true, it should be able to measure an effect with the sun cycle. 11 years

Don’t all states of all kinds eventually all end in feud, corruption, and conquest by foreign powers? That’s the life cycle of every nation. There are no permanent states like there are no permanent people. Some will live long lives some short, in some cases because of the choices they made, others because of the choices of others or happenstance. What is your definition of “worked” how long does it need to be around to work?


For Obama progressives (such as myself), there may be nearly as much to consider on the Libertarian platform this year as there is on the Democratic platform, at least in spirit. Aside from healthcare and education… this is not a bad start, broadly

I think you mean “🪛” , “🙂↔”, or “🐂💩”. Haha.


One or more of three things will happen. 1) Taxes rise significantly , 2) Services are cut significantly , 3) monetary base inflates significantly. Any combination of the three will be a painful shock in a more or less similar magnitude. I’d prefer a path where we dig ourselves out a bit and give people time to start adapting. Adding more is increasing the height of the cliff we are walking towards. A default will be a significant cut to services. Border protection is a service. But I agree in a political situation where event talking about correction never mind actually correcting is a third rail. The default or some combination of the three “forms” of default appear unavoidable.

Maybe those with an internal monologue are reading their script.


Those who use internal monologues exclusively are unable to have awareness of ideas, beliefs, feelings, states, that don’t have the words to express them in the language they know.

I don’t really know if this is true I just wanted to have a different take than, “the world is filled with NPCs”. maybe the NPCs are those that can only read their scripts.

A very interesting novel idea to let those who can pay market rates, compensate builders enough that lower incomes can also get an apartment at a caped rate. Imagine how many more apartments could get built if all the apartments were rented or sold at the market rate instead of being forced to sell or rent for below the market rate. 🤔 If a little market economy is good let’s try a little more.

Last time I looked seriously at mining my observations were you should ask yourself if you can mine a bitcoin for less than you can buy it on an exchange . You are buying it either way, once through electricity and hardware and time and risk the other through trading currency. When I looked at it before it seemed cheaper to just buy it. But if you want no kyc and or you just want to learn something these can be added to what value you are going to get out of it that may make it worth it.

Home addresses and road signs are both a psyop. The real design is to aid distant rulers in the management of their occupied territory at scale. The standardization helps collect taxes, perform surveillance, and enforce laws with incredible efficiency that would not be possible without them.🤣

They facilitate logistics with impersonal directories instead of community held knowledge and relationships. Dependence on the state to just get from place A to B develops and community interaction degrades. 🤔

So I think 3ft is more comfortable to work in. For three reasons. 1) I can do a wide stance deep squat with one foot on each side of the bed. It puts my center of gravity directly over bed and I can just bend over to weed. Then just shuffle my feet forward to work further until I’m done. 2) The average man can indeed reach into the bed at two feet from the edge squatting down or kneeling. But if your bed is 4 feet and you need to weed something in the middle of your bed at the two feet point you are more fully extended and don’t have as much strength or balance from that point. And your body will get more quickly fatigued with that reach.

Get a ruler and play with it in your house. Hold a pose at the various lengths you will need to reach for 30 seconds feel the degree of tension or relaxation. Choose the one that is more relaxed. I’m 5 feet 9 inches in height. If you are taller and depending on how much more then maybe 4 ft works.

3) Wife and kids have a shorter reach than I do. I’m still the primary worker in the garden for sure but I’m a believer that things should be family sized. My shotgun is a 20 gauge with an adjustable stock.

Obviously everything just depends. 😀

It’s a good question i don’t have personal experience to give you but I hadn’t thought of it as a source and I think it’s a good idea. The whole purpose of county and state fairs was to encourage the breeding of animals that perform well for agricultural purposes, right?

A critique of the analysis would be that a negative association was measured, based on the data. But the data included observations with higher levels of fluoride than what the regulators were allowing or recommended. And so yes while the trend line decreases and yes at high enough doses fluoride does cause negative outcomes of IQ, at recommended and allowed levels the harm is insignificant or unmeasurable. The negative trend line shows a negative only from the weight of these observations with higher amounts.

https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp655

Image From the article with data points included: Try to ignore the gray shaded lines resulting from mathematical analysis and consider if the data points were cut off after 1.5 mg/L where would the resulting trendline be? Would it be less negative than the current one, would it be a flat horizontal line?

It’s hard to tell I wish scientific journals required the actual data to be released for publishing so I could just through this in and premature under that scenario.

This study does show a negative effect however, which means it’s reasonable to desire the minimum amount that meets the level required for the health benefits they have measured. And it’s true that studies like this one caused US regulators to lower the recommended dose from 1.2 to 0.7 mg/L however even if recommended the allowable amount is still higher. It would be a good question to any water supplier why their fluoride level is higher than 0.7 I checked my local supplier in Ohio averages 0.91.

There is no global. 🤣


It’s AI generated so I would say it means nothing, you are a human trying to understand and seek the meaning, and I think that means everything.


Yes because it’s tender. It’s not everything, but it is something.


Well yes and no. The simple model might suggest that after 5 generations (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32) the generation is only 1/32 of the original. 1/32 doesn’t sound like much, But specific dominant traits which are expressed in you today because they are “dominant” would likely persist in them because they are “dominant”. Like brown eyes. Also some genes cluster because they are located closely on the chromosomes and so would inherited traits. And finally the other mathematical element of reproduction is present. Multiplication. With each generation the number of people which are my progeny increases.  Assuming each generation is only fertile enough for replacement. I have two kids. Replacing myself and their mother. And they have two kids replacing themselves and their future spouses, etc (2,4,8,16,32) after 5 generations there are 32 people you would look at to determine if they had any of my traits, and I expect you would be able to find individuals in the 32 which would retain a cluster of the original genes especially dominant that are expressed in that generation. They would have my hair color or straightness, or smile etc. or they may “think” like me or something else. Because these traits weren’t really mine anyway, they were my great great grandparents before they were mine. And the fact that they are in us now is fact enough that they have persisted. Over the long term what persists depend on the selective pressures, which brings us back to the original topic. The multiplication and division gives us a lot of diversity in the 5th generation. What is the selective pressure determines what would be fit. In that generation which on the longer term overwhelms all the other math and you are left with what is fit. But if we keep using all the technological advancements that remove the selective pressures what was in the past selected for will be available to a smaller percentage of the population. But it’s exchanged at the cost of less death so 🤷.

YES


😀 well if you had good genes and you use interventions your genes are passed on. If you had good genes and you don’t use interventions your genes are passed on.

If you have bad genes and use interventions your genes are passed on to the detriment of the gene pool. If you had bad genes and didn’t take interventions your genes are not passed on protecting the gene pool. This is obviously an oversimplification. But if you are refusing interventions you only improve the gene pool by being excluded from breeding through death or not being selected by a mate due to your weakness. 🤣 Choosing not to procreate is a trait that is maladaptive for survival of the species and is a characteristic that is constantly being selected against. Thank you for your contribution😅

I know all this rhymes with some gross oppression in history. But that doesn’t mean the underlying facts about a gene pools interaction with selective pressures aren’t true. 🤔☹


It’s apple fritter season yall.

Yes, food is important. Exercise is important. Stress is important. Stimulating with exposure is important. But disease includes inherited susceptibility and issues. Most domesticated sheep for example have lost their resilience to internal parasites and the parasites have developed resilience to dewormers used by farmers. The sheep breeds that still have resilience to parasites are those breeds that have historically been in areas with high disease pressure (typically islands) and better if they are humid where parasites can thrive, without the use of dewormer, where their humans were too poor to afford or didn’t have access or were otherwise left to fend for themselves. Genetics and selective pressures will eventually play a role.


I’ve seen drawings of the garlic very tightly packed in a ring. If you want to harvest for bulbs I think that’s too close. I would space them out a bit. If you want to just cut for the greens, or just the scapes maybe a tighter planting.

I have planted a fairly random distribution around a tree in my yard. I can’t report back too much yet as it’s still the first year. But quite a few flopped over, if they are in a dense ring I would imagine it would become quite the mess. 🤷


Around your fruit trees?


I imagine everyone wants to take advantage of the improvements of interventions in health. It’s got a slow feedback mechanism though. Or at-least slow on human time scales. Maybe the future will look fondly back at this Bubble time period as when antibiotics still worked. When humans had all the inherited resiliance and the technology to assist health before the genes went to trash and disease caught up.


Thanks for the link. Yes similar thoughts. A shame we can’t interact more organically note to post across the  protocols.


Sure, I understand this take on “domestication” but I meant it a bit more clinically. I don’t think this is how dogs were domesticated for example. Or in a small anarchical group of humans, where there is someone who you thought would be a friend but turned out to be a serious harm to you, you might banish them from the group to likely die without the protection and support of the group, this act “domesticated” humans by removing their genes from the gene pool and keeping someone more cooperative in the gene pool. Or a group of monkeys could do the same to anyone that gets too abusive within their group. We have been doing this for as long as the species has been able to decide who they will freely associate with. So yes I understand the use of domestication as a deliberate shaping of a “subspecies” for the benefit of another. But there is also a subtle domestication that is just apart of life and the voluntary actions of all. And it’s not just humans, any member of any species which fails their mating rituals is culled from the gene pool.


The more I learn about animal husbandry the more I have to acknowledge that humans are and have been domesticating themselves. Which isn’t entirely as bad as it sounds, necessarily. But the repeated observation of multiple domesticated species is that they become more and more dependent on human interventions (antibiotics, deworming, artificial insemenation, fences, feed troughs, incubation or hand raising of offspring, interventions during birth to save the mother or offspring) Some of these are the unintended consequences of focused selective breeding for one feature at the exclusion of all others, but others are more insidious as the farmer is just trying to protect his bottom line here and there. And for the humans species I see the interventions all around us. We use antibiotics, we intervene during child birth to save the mother and child, we of course take medications for parasites, and many other ailments. We provide IVF and other amazing treatments. We live in cities we eat at restaurants instead of gathering the food or prepairing it. I do these things too, I believe at least one of my kids would be dead if we did not do these interventions. And if we needed to use IVF I wouldn’t hesitate, and all the other things and yet I can not  help but clearly see that we are weakening our species genetic pool. And in time we will become more and more dependent on these interventions for more and more people. I don’t like the implications or the predicted outcomes.

Benefits of raising ducks on a regenerative farm:

1. Pest control

Ducks are natural foragers and will control population levels of slugs, snails and insects

Pest patrol > pesticide

🦆

2. Soil fertility

Duck droppings are rich in nutrients, especially nitrogen. This enhances soil fertility and promotes healthier crops

Duck poop > synthetic fertilizer

🦆

3. Weed management

Ducks graze on young weeds and help provide natural weed control which reduces competition for crops

Weed patrol > herbicide

🦆

4. Biodiversity enhancement

Integrating ducks into a farm increases biodiversity which helps create more resilient pond ecosystems

🦆

5. Meat and egg production

Ducks offer a sustainable source of meat and eggs which nourish our family and generate income for the farm

🦆

6. Aesthetic value

Ducks add charm and beauty to a farm and offer opportunities for unique farm education and visitor experiences

🦆

Overall, ducks support ecological health and enhance productivity and resilience of the land

No complaints on these quick pickled beets. At 24 hours. They tasted like they came from my standard grocery jarred pickled beets. Maybe sweeter, which is probably mostly a function of the amount of sugar. They should improve in theory. I used apple cider vinegar because otherwise we only had 30% distilled vinegar and I didn’t want to mess with diluting it correctly. Now how can I improve them. Any suggestions? #grownostr #gardening

Thanks for considering! Follow curation and relay curation tools are an area of further development nostrwide.


Fly them like training homing pigeons or just let them out and about.


🤣 It’s definitely an imperfect measurement that is “biased” against home production because no money changes hands. It might be the very healthiest Normal natural thing to do but it’s not counted as a good or a service, an income, or an expenditure. It’s invisible, makes you wonder when has the political to “juice” the economy ever negatively impacted their citizens by pushing human activity from the unmeasured column to the measured column and suddenly “measuring” the activity.


Is there any approach to pigeons you have seen where they forage for themselves across your property and beyond. But return to the nest?


I haven’t, thank you for the recommendation. 🖖


GDP does not measure the value of growing a garden and cooking your own food, but it does measure what you spend on groceries and at restaurants.

GDP does not measure the value of raising a child, but it does measure what is spent on child care.

GDP does not measure the value of being healthy, but it does measure what is spent on medical treatments.

GDP is all the state can measure and so its actions attempt to maximize only what it can measure.

Remain unmeasurable.

The Calf at Foot Dairy School™ is Launching #myhousecow

Episode #1 Buying your first cow, which will take you through what to look for when buying a housecow according to your unique set of circumstances and commitments to suit your own context.
Warning ‼ It will be honest and direct, it may even put you off having housecows as it may make you realise that keeping a cow to milk is not for you, although hugely rewarding at times but everynow and again it can feel like gruelling drudgery. I want to avoid you or your cows any suffering which is why I feel the need to inform you with as much information & direction you should need before deciding whether or not to take the plunge & embark on a journey of becoming a housecow keeper.
You may decide this is for you, you may even take the next steps further on down the line to sell milk as a fully fledged #calfatfootdairy 💚
Imagine the day when your cows know their names and come to you individually when you when you say their name #5 teaching your cow to come to her name🤩Just like our dear Wilma here.

It’s working again if you did something


“Announced relays” in the settings


Less than 5 more than 2 and since you are using Nostur make sure you set up your inbox relays too.


Wot.utxo.one stopped accepting writes for me. Just FYI it worked for a bit.


Yes awhile back I had tried to get off the main relays. It’s hard to know which ones those even are. Relay curation and follow curation will eventually get much stronger.

Here is what my relay settings look like presently:

https://image.nostr.build/c750ecb6750212b9d208ad5f8b0770c2f4019b5de46adf2a1a4fcd7c6b9ff469.jpg

I replaced the relay that was occasionally giving me them. So far so good.


It’s been quiet.


Are their any reply people out there?


I have my own doubts as well, I generally agree with you, but what you call “civilization” may actually be a human settlement out of scale and unhealthy to the human animal. Where ancap settlements would have the freedom to disband and fracture into smaller ones. We may never see them because they don’t scale to a large measurable event. This does fundamentally mean the people in them are more vulnerable to outside aggression and servitude. I’m just also not convinced the scale of human settlements are right a
Nd it might be a trap to define success as one which reaches that size.


nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe think you could squeeze “last seen” into the follow list. Or a particular UI pane just for curating who I follow with some stats or views to help make that decision.


Can this please be the year that partisan politics and the two party political system dies???

The so-called "leadership" of each major party cares nothing about all of us and is more likely than not all great friends while we squabble amongst ourselves.
I'm looking at you, Democrats and Republicans. Why should I be forced to choose between Pepsi and Coke? What if I want milk, or tea, or water and don't want a bad-for-me sugary drink? (Lesser of two evils, anyone? The lesser of two evils is still evil.)
Why, when there are 300 million plus people in this country, and when you whittle it down due to eligibility, why is my choice between two creepy, cranky, old, rich, white dudes? There must be a thousand other well qualified candidates out there, but y'all don't demand better, so this is what we get.
The system IS rigged, but I believe if enough of us say "ENOUGH!" we can actually make a difference. This is yours, your children's, and your grandchildren's future. Make the most of it. Come, join me. All it takes is not just taking what you're dished out and being willing to have civil discourse with everyone. Stop just surviving and start thriving.

The meme I'm adding can go both ways, Democrat or Republican. Remember, I'm not rooting for either, I want both to lose. https://image.nostr.build/949486ae26c38ddfa994a6cd3995f253fc9b316171120f4a8f022e04f5dbf047.jpg

I had an idea for a sci-fi story where it there was the a last day of rain on earth and no one knew why. But my dead end was that I couldn’t really come up with a plausible way for malevolent forces to actually control the weather. How could this plausibly be done?


They are just wise and humble.


Just find current paid relays and use them. 😀


You could use a web of trust relay that is only accessible from follows of follows. Like wss://wot.utxo.one

Or you could use a paid relay like wss://nostr.wine

My understanding is that primal forces you to use their relay and it’s popular so their may not be an option to change that from the app And Damus is also a very popular relay. So both of those are highly targeted right now.

You can avoid where the bots are by using relays which are a bit less permissive in who they let write to their relays like the two I highlighted above but their are other paid and WOT options. Or you can just move to relays that are less popular and so harder to target for spam.

If it helps, the spam is forcing developers to respond to it and tighten up their clients and relays. I don’t think the spam is being generated by a sovereign country but this is basically a fire drill for some malevolent agent.


Does it taste good on its own or is it just healthy?


“No sir, no fine Swiss watches and clocks”


I think the relay escrow makes sense. The way I would probably do it is steeper but tie it to writing to the relay at all. Maybe 5k sats to write to it. Tie it to Auth, then if you are reported as a source of spam the relay takes your sats. To write again you have to pay more sats, or up to the relay how to handle. It’s like a paid relay but if you leave you can get some of your sats back? The challenge I think is just managing who has paid what. Who owes what, And not rugging anyone.

I ask ChatGPT for things like this:

Roasted Sweet Potato and Okra Salad with Rhubarb-Basil Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

	•	1 large sweet potato, diced
	•	1 cup okra, halved
	•	1 cucumber, sliced
	•	2-3 pimento peppers, diced
	•	1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
	•	2 stalks rhubarb, chopped
	•	2 tbsp honey
	•	1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
	•	Salt and pepper to taste

For the Rhubarb-Basil Vinaigrette:

	•	1/4 cup rhubarb, finely chopped
	•	2 tbsp honey
	•	1/4 cup olive oil
	•	2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
	•	1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
	•	Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

	1.	Roast the Vegetables:
	•	Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
	•	Toss the diced sweet potato and halved okra with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
	•	Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
	2.	Prepare the Salad Base:
	•	In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and diced pimento peppers.
	3.	Make the Rhubarb-Basil Vinaigrette:
	•	In a small saucepan, add the chopped rhubarb and honey with a splash of water. Cook on low heat until the rhubarb softens (about 5 minutes).
	•	Let the mixture cool slightly, then blend it with the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, fresh basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
	4.	Assemble the Salad:
	•	Once the roasted sweet potatoes and okra are ready, add them to the bowl with the cucumbers and pimento peppers.
	•	Drizzle the rhubarb-basil vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.
	•	Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves if desired.

Serve this salad warm or at room temperature. It’s a unique blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors!

That breaks down when you take into account gerrymandering. The politicians in essence do elect themselves when they create with scientific precision these spiney ink blobs of voting districts. The people don't choose their politician, the politicians choose their voters. The more they win the more they can gerrymander as the winners create the districts. This creates an environment where they are not afraid of losing their seat to the other side but instead the threat is being displaced in your own party, driving ever more extreme positions.

I think the leading cause has been the eroding of community from our societies. Air conditioning, TV, and now the internet. The decline in memberships to clubs. The decline in religious attendance. People don’t know their neighbors anymore. For some this causes stress, but for others they just miss the wave of social interaction they would have been swept up in because that was how life was. You were in the bowling league at work, you attended church, and your network was nudging you to settle down and pair off. You probably always knew who your potential mates were anyway, because you knew their names from kindergarten.

Now there are a lot more options and a lot more distractions and less of the kind of social interaction that leads to marriage and children.

It’s a global phenomenon. Look for “demographic winter”.

If you buy that a violation of copyright is stealing, then 1) even cases where a human artist created a fundamentally new work but none the less “copied” the original work, it was considered copyright infringement. “Rogers v. Koons”. 2) The infrastructure of AI requires “copying” the work into their database for learning. This copy is as a fact distributing the work without permission. 3) All techniques of AI are fundamentally “pattern matching” through math where the algorithms and their cost functions attempt to minimize the error of reproducing the pattern. Which is a fancy way of “copying”. 4) As a practical matter if creators are not able to enforce their copyrights by excluding others from copying and distributing their works without their permission they will not have an incentive to produce those works, if everyone goes to ChatGPT for a cake recipe, many of the recipe websites they scrapped from will not get their ad impressions and won’t be able to pay their server architecture, eventually they will close shop. Which will benefit the first movers OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, etc who have already copied the corpus of the web used in these AI implementations. I think creators, authors, and artists have a legitimate complaint. They should be able to extract payment from a license to use their works. Like they would if anyone else was going to create a derivative work from their efforts. If Sampling a baseline for use in your music even if you modify it is a violation of copyright, then it should be atleast as restricted as generating a model artifact that can reproduce your bass line with any transformations requested.

So following Kant and Descartes I was left with the limits of what can be known and understood by reason and experience from the senses. What I got out of Kierkegaard was what you do with yourself in that state. Without verifiable deductive proof and with imperfect senses, uncertainty permeates everything. And that’s just it. That’s the state you live in. You exist, you can’t know much more, and there is no fool proof way out to anything else. For a young, very too much, rational person as I was at the time, the obliteration of logic as “the path” to truth was disruptive. Kierkegaards embrace of the aesthetic, and the “leap of faith”, based on nothing more than will and the generation of passion to live according to a choice despite there being no proof for it and the absurdity you will confront in it was important in maturing myself beyond the purely logical limited existence I would have tried to live otherwise.

In concept something like the assets or split of the assets you have entering the marriage with should be the assets or split of the assets after the marriage but The value growth of those assets and benefits created during the time of the marriage split equally. If either one of you is skipping an opportunity to build their own assets to contribute to the marriage that should be reflected or agreed to be evaluated at the conclusion. Potentially with a cash flow or a different split of the assets.

If the prenup were defined as your business assets are 100% yours after the divorce, and all your efforts during the marriage go into growing the value of that asset and all her efforts go into home maintenance and childcare etc, freeing you to devote fully to building your assets, and then at the end there is no consideration of her contribution to your business assets growth then I would say that’s fucked up.

In the event of the divorce custody of the children would need to be another consideration. A cash flow would need to follow the children’s custody. If she ends up with 100% custody you need to continue covering the costs of the needs of your children.

I would error on the side of your future wife being better off than what you think a strictly fair distribution would be.    The sacrafices, assets and capital she will be building for your union in this scenario will not exist on a ledger but are real and should be accounted for.

Yeah I think that’s probably a biased sample as the proliferation of media options forced cable news outlets to differentiate to specific viewership segments, Fox got team red.


I don’t know if they work for predicting the actual election but as a measure of change from before a debate to after a debate I think it’s probably a good way to evaluate debate performance.

And I think prediction markets have wider use now than 2016. More diverse opinions being represented now than before.


I think the prediction markets are the best way to evaluate the immediate outcome of the debates in terms of did either candidate do what they wanted to do. Especially before the spin takes hold. However I don’t know if debates will affect long term. #debates #politics #grownostr

I keep trying but I can’t get trains to make sense


Interesting 🧐


Do it!


Teach your kids they are the scariest things in the dark.

When the night grows still and the winds blow low,
And shadows twist in the moon’s soft glow,
Remember this: you’re bold, you’re brave,
It’s you the shadows try to evade!

Monsters under the bed, they flee,
From you, the bravest they can see.
Your footsteps echo, loud and strong,
They know they won’t last here for long.

The closet door might creak and groan,
But it’s you who owns the night alone!
With just a glance, you make them run,
They fear your courage, every one!

So when the dark feels big and wide,
Stand tall, for you’ve got strength inside.
No ghost or ghoul can match your fight,
Because you are the fiercest in the night!

What does this statistic mean if the people within these categories move between these categories over 30 years? Isn’t the top 20 percent always disproportionately 65 year olds with retirement accounts and paid off houses about to retire? And the lower categories disproportionately 20ish somethings with no assets to their name because, you know, they are 20? And life began exactly 20 years prior.

Yeah, that was me. I definitely have suspicions about the health care system incentives but I got one for just these kinds of things. It’s hard to access the system for things you want without a primary physician. And the stats on bloodwork etc are still useful, you can find others to interpret etc if there are others you trust more. But you may be able to find a physician that you can work with.


Also just go to the doctor for a blood test as apart of an annual physical.

The first way would be to put “endorsements” in your profile. Simply stating recommendations on who to follow next.

The second way would be some kind of list. But it’s exposure would require clients or a specific client to create the list for that purpose and read others lists to convey the recommendation. Does listr already do this?
The third way would be a new kind. “Endorsements” or something similar like “recommendations” where npubs post their recommendation note to relays that clients can specify look for and aggregate into recommendations from who you follow. My two sats.

#31days I did squat today, no I didn’t do squats, I did squat. My youngest’s first day of preschool. So the morning had some additional steps and I didn’t think I could fit it in. I’ll try tomorrow.


Agreed it’s mostly PA in my opinion this year.


I don’t think you’re trying to influence anything, just that people interpret these statistics a bit hazardly something like whoever has the lead of percentage will win. But it’s much more uncertain than that. Yes the fact that trumps number is large does mean that he has an advantage (according to the prediction markets) but it’s incredibly slight.


How many coin flips would you need inorder to notice that the coin you were flipping was not a 50/50 coin, and instead possessed the probabilities shown above? Something like 52%/48%?

You would need about 100 flips just to get the distributions with enough resolution to distinguish 52/48 from 50/50 and then you would probably need atleast an additional 100 flips for you to be reasonably sure you didn’t have a little bad luck as even a fair coin (50/50) is unlikely to give you exactly a 50/50 split in real flips. And depending on how certain you wanted to be more flips further. This event is going to happen once. Not 100, 200, or more times. “Clear advantage for Trump side”, Is a misreading of the implied probabilities. This is fundamentally a coin flip based on the numbers shown it has about the most uncertainty possible for an event which has only two outcomes.


The dm itself is encrypted so requires your nsec to decrypt. But who you DM and are DM’d by is public, there are a few potential attempts to remedy this.


I haven’t tried fresh really other than ripping of a piece to taste now and then when I am out there.


Thanks


Tree collards or standard? Do you just prefer their flavors or something else?

Can you explain a simple technique to prevent “too much” inbreeding in a flock is it as simple as rotating roosters? Or something else, something better? I don’t presently raise chickens but want to.


😀 never too soon.


They were excited for it this time, but I get the resistance if I’m just making them play outside to get out of the house.


I’m on a kick this year of Swiss chard. In my opinion it seems like the perfect cooking green. Never had it before this year. This is essentially a chicken soup with Swiss chard replacing the noodles.

I have both the rainbow color variety and the green giant fordhook. Fordhook has appeared to be the most robust so will likely use that exclusively next year.

I grew it in my garden this year and it’s been very easy to take care off, bullet proof. And really easy to cook as a side in butter/ olive oil.

It is very mild, takes on flavor of whatever it is cooked with and seasoned, nice texture seems hard to over cook.

Nature walk at a local Nature Reserve. We were there for about 45 minutes some of that was skipping rocks at the creek. So I’m going to count 30 minutes for #31days. Let’s see if I can work in some more before the day is done. Fun to gear up the kids to reinforce the basics of preparation.

I have no judgment


Interested to try this recipe but not sure if I will be able to get to it today I’ve got some beets to harvest.

Trying this today


Hey, Nostr! If you liked these mushroom earrings, you'll probably be delighted to learn that while I sold a lot of pottery at the foray, no one bought a single mushroom necklace!

This means that every one I made except the two I turned into earrings and sent to Littlespoon are available for sale.

All of these completely handmade pendants are on adjustable-length color-coordinated cords.  If you prefer, I can provide them on earring hardware instead.  If you want a matching set of all three (two earrings and a necklace), move fast... there's already one style for which this is impossible now!

Item price (all you pay if we can arrange an in-person delivery in parts of Northern Virginia):

Necklace:   $25, or BTC equivalent of $22.50

Pair of earrings:  $50, or BTC equivalent of $45

Shipping anywhere in the US:  $5 or BTC equivalent of $5

I think people vote for what they want and sadly for us all, they get it. For the most part this. obviously there are people with more influence and power across the world. In second place would be the bureaucracies of governments.


I would leave it open that I don’t think emotions themselves are choices. But I don’t think hate or love is an emotion. Anger is an emotion, and joy, but what you do with them are choices. I have lived those choices.


I don’t have a lot of personal experience In hating or not hating someone. Hate seems pretty extreme to me, none the less, or perhaps because of that, Yes I believe you can choose not to hate someone. More to my personal experiences that I have had, I believe you can choose to love someone. And more directly if ever in a relationship for a long enough time there will be occasions where you will have to *choose* to love them in order for the relationship to last. The love chemicals eventually wear off, or there is a testing, A rough patch. I’m not saying you should always choose it with everyone, with some people choosing to love them will be bad for you as they are toxic, manipulative, and hurtful. But it is a core belief that love is a choice. And with all other decisions as well, Otherwise you will be tossed to the winds in terms of the direction of your life by your emotions.


Holy shit 🤣 😆 🤣

Not a cop, but As a practical matter my understanding is that they wait until money is exchanged for this reason. Paying the money is an overt act which is proof of intent and that an agreement between two parties is made. Otherwise “I was just blowing off steam, it was just two guys talking” is a legitimate defense. In practice people must have lived in a time before conspiracy to commit murder was a crime itself and they didn’t like the outcomes (breaking up a plan to murder before it happens and they get away with no punishment) so it becomes a law.


Pickled beets are amazing.


Let me put it like this. Zeno had a paradox where he argued all motion was impossible. You can look it up for the reference. But it was a paradox because fundamentally he predated calculus.

“When the Eleatic philosopher Zeno denied the existence of motion, his adversary is said to have responded by simply standing up and walking around.”

Maybe there is an understanding we still don’t have to fully explain a proof for why free will exists, nonetheless I will walk about the stage of my life. Feel free to sit in a puddle instead. 😀


Welcome


I’m a big fan of americas test kitchen.


Ok so you’re fine with limits to free speech as long as they are not imposed by the state. You just think those limits should be imposed by individual judgment.


Somehow it’s also true that the same percentage will happily change positions if their team does the same without thought or evidence.


Sounds like what you mean to ask is “if your actions are predetermined, do you have free will”

Does an action *doer* have free will when they do the action, when the action is predetermined.

I’ll keep it short and say perhaps it is a paradox but paradoxes may only have the appearance of contradiction because they are lacking an insight.

If all past and future is played out simultaneously perhaps there is no problem with a will created within an event simultaneously impacting the direction of that event freely across space and time. Perhaps the free will is not the contradiction, only the narrative told from beginning to end is a particular perspective.
