I don’t share your vituperative animus against Odell. He always seemed to me to be a well-intentioned if naive actor. His silence in recent weeks gives me cause to pause however.

This confirms my comment to some extent as it also explains why the language of “unscrewing” is not appropriate. I would concede that if the lancets of the stinger are not deep enough for the barbs to gain traction then the bee can often live to fight another day. I have kept bees in the past and have observed some unenthusiastic stings!

2026-06-01 22:00:18 UTC

- reply

Also untrue. Honeybees cannot unscrew their stings because their stingers don’t have a helical structure. They can remove their stings if they have stung another insect however. A nice story but not a true one. The fatal sting evolved for a reason. If the stings were not fatal more honey bees would die defending the colony.

To be fantastically pedantic and slightly off-topic, I respectfully disagree. Only around 43% of the cells in a human body are genetically human. That’s 40 trillion or so non-human lives to 30 trillion human cells. We are proverbially legion. None of which has any bearing on the ethical point you were correctly making.

Thanks. I’m in Europe so a pinch of salt is required. There’s a lot of overlap in species, but still. By substrate I mean what’s it growing on or what are the nearby trees? Is it near an oak or a pine or a beech for example? If you were in europe I’d stick with my id (spore print was important) but even so I am 85-90% sure it’s in the armillaria genus (honey fungus) though. If the ask is practical rather than mycological, you only need to get down to genus level to take measures. Hope that’s slightly helpful!?

It’s worth reminding ourselves that when the building in question was completed we already had microscopy, telescopy, telegraphy and electricity. Maxwell’s discovery of the laws of electromagnetism and the constant speed of light, radio communication, electrification and cinema were only a decade or so away. This was certainly the modern era and they had rather sophisticated methods of measurement and computation. They obviously couldn’t have yet developed the transistor, the large hadron collider or the James Webb telescope, but they certainly were not primitive in their understanding of the laws of nature and their applications. If you wished to strong arm the argument, you would need to select an older exemplum; Cologne cathedral for example. The answer I suspect would be less concerned with the supposed technological superiority of the Medieval mind and more to do with the sort of things bitcoiners tend to worry about such as high and low time preferences and monetary debasement. If you have 300 years to build something, you can make it really nice!

It's a trivial proof to dissambiguate planar and spherical triangles and has been perfomed many times since Girard's time. The theorem (A=R2(α+β+γ−π)) requires that the sum of the internal angles of a spherical triangle must exceed 180 degrees if that triangle is to have a positive area.
So... Draw a triangle (ABC) on the surface of the earth. Let the triangle be as large as possible, with each side several hundred km long. Measure the internal angles of the triangle you have constructed and find the sum. Is it greater than 180 degrees? If so, you have demonstrated that the triangle is spherical. If not, you have proven that the triangle is planar.
It's worth pointing out that this procedure can only prove that the surface of the earth is spherical but cannot distinguish between the earth either being a complete sphere or an incomplete arc/portion of a sphere.

2025-07-16 22:11:20 UTC

I was thinking of Girard’s Theorem, but there are others that deal with the geometry of spherical triangles. And then there’s Eratosthenes but that’s slightly more oblique.

Long time listener, first time caller. I am not a hater. I am just trying to understand how you have come to this conclusion.

I maybe missing the gist of her argument, but beyond the logorrhea and ecolalia, she seems to be making two claims. A. A normative claim that privacy is the only salient consideration when evaluating whether one should adopt a monetary network. Ultimately a subjective and arbitrary value judgement which we therefore can’t reason about. B. More importantly, that her monetary network of choice is more private than bitcoin, which is demonstrably false.

If you like H P, you might enjoy one of his major influences, the Welsh writer Arthur Machen. “The Great God Pan” or “The White People” are the places to start. Another influence is Lord Dunsany. His novel “The King of Elfland’s Daughter” was wholesale stolen by Neil Gaiman for “Stardust”. Dunsany’s version is superior. Enjoy your literary peregrinations!

Yes. I agree. The problem arises when some cohort of people arbitrarily decides that certain, but not all, speech acts are violent, equate violence to harm, and take it upon themselves to unilaterally censor said speech acts. If we accept that all speech is violence it takes the wind out of their sails so to speak unless they harbour the absurd desire seek to terminate the use of languages itself. More importantly, there’s no act more violent on nostr than not having zaps enabled!
