    @confusedMiddleAgedDad@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social I&#39;ve wondered how many old &#39;swords in walking sticks&#39; were bought for path-clearance rather than defence.

    @lankohr@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social It&#39;s just maths. As the radius of your circle of knowledge increases, the border with everything you don&#39;t know increases 2π times more. You have only become more ignorant *relatively*. :-)

    @inthehands@hachyderm.io That sounds like when British Conservatives said &quot;inflation is reducing&quot;. It just means things are getting worse slower than they were.

    @andybalaam@mastodon.social #OhNoHeDidnt Jack fought the AI Giant by chopping down the beanstalk and taking the ill-gotten(?) gold, thus destroying the means of production to prevent one capitalist with excessive means from potentially devaluing the gold market and creating a future shortage, from which he, his mother and a useless cow might benefit. What a #pantomime !

    @dmbaturin@functional.cafe Many people make that mistake but bit-strings are really thin and bendy.

    @summerbeth@mastodon.me.uk I watched a woodwork video about rubber tree wood yesterday. It is a useful hardwood that has become more common because a process was developed to control mould and rot when commercial rubber trees become unproductive and are felled. A waste product has been made useful but by using a lot of energy :-(.

    What about trying, &amp;quot;Move slowly and DON&amp;#39;T break things&amp;quot;? I&amp;#39;m bored with the enshitification of both software and democracy.

    Last night I discovered people don&amp;#39;t agree what #ukulele &amp;#39;Canadian tuning&amp;#39; was/is, despite it having been taught in Canadian schools. You&amp;#39;d think there would be school books that gave a definitive answer. Some think it&amp;#39;s aDF#B but linear ADF#B seems more likely; Low-A tuning, a tone higher than Low-G tuning which is popular on tenor ukuleles. I&amp;#39;ve also learned that High-a is sometimes called &amp;quot;British tuning&amp;quot; though I don&amp;#39;t...

    @tusk81 That&amp;#39;s what you&amp;#39;d expect fascists to say. The Pope should encourage Catholics to support regime change... in the US.

    I think this Torygraph article has changed while I was reading it. Amol Rajan: &amp;quot;I’m very worried about my children growing up in England&amp;quot; https://share.google/Wpa9SY6iCBnP16J04. It originally claimed he&amp;#39;d said something about &amp;#39;the culture that flows in his children&amp;#39;s veins, which seemed like something a racist would say and I don&amp;#39;t think he is a racist. I&amp;#39;m not so sure about Telegraph journalists.
