    @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 :-(.

    @pthane@toot.wales People can see the reaction happening so they think it must be doing something. We use white vinegar, lemon juice and sodium bicarbonate but not at the same time, for the reasons you gave.

    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.

    @ben@werd.social I think &#39;woke whacking&#39; was a policy, though none of their supporters seem able to define what they think &quot;woke&quot; means.

    @ben@werd.social They are lying. They want to make everything much worse.

    @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us They may be successful in the way that Margaret Thatcher was when she pushed Labour to the right, under Tony Blair. What a pity the LibDems didn&#39;t find a role for Zack Polanski, pushing them a little Left. That&#39;s where a progressive party needs to be to stay elected. The media of the Far Right clearly understand that.

    @simonbs &#39;Information wants to be free&#39;, even bad information, except what they are modelling is language not truth.

    @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.
