Not in any meaningful sense. My wife’s flower garden and vegetable garden and fruit trees attract numerous bees, but we don’t keep them.

This is very interesting… the dying as a side effect instead of an intentional killing. I like the premise, but it begs the question: why only the chestnut? Is it specifically vulnerable? The utility of the chestnut, the colloquial and folk lore of the chestnut, it feels targeted. as TPTB...

If San Francisco was really dug out of the mud, perhaps it was from something like this on a far greater scale: Message From Heaven? Historic Rains in San Francisco Cause Mudslides and Sewer Geysers to Explode, Cleansing Feces-Ridden City (VIDEO)

I’d never heard of them before now, and I always take public narrative with a carafe of salt.

I was recently reading some postulation about the Bradford pear tree and its potential health benefits. Then I learned of bans recently implemented and coming in Jan of 2023. I’m not sure if there’s any true parallel here or if it’s some sort of apophenia in my head. The Bradford pear is...

I found this illustration in an old maps book of mine, and thought it was worth sharing to this thread this is an armillary sphere, from the book Antique Maps for the Collector by Richard van de Gohm, 1972.

America’s dominance is over. By 2030, we'll have a handful of global powers Another 2030 cue

So very interesting indeed. I think we all too often overlook the etymology of words which we utter every day.

Agreed, and god bless the internet for making things available en masse. It pains me to have only awaken so recently. In life I have such little bandwidth available for lofty pursuits such as this, but I derive great pleasure in the discourse and exchange of ideas made possible here

I would’ve been happy to believe that “we” didn’t build that building. It’s so beautiful and ornate and… specific. We haven’t built anything nearly as fine since then. And the red brick foundation… the bits on the left are bright and clean and the rest is old chipped. I believe this has been...

Bump for this thread. there appear to be some indisputable photos of the incremental construction of the capitol building here: Washington History: Legislative Building - Legacy Washington - WA Secretary of State The below grade brickwork certainly doesn’t doesn’t look new

Here is an alleged electron microscope image of a bacteriophage: Image from here there is a lot of alleged microscopy of the Covid virus, but considering that, according to the CDC and the NIH the virus has yet to be isolated, I wonder what they’re showing? Admittedly many of the photos...

Here is a very interesting blog I found when searching for the Creation of the World in the Star Temple. I wouldn’t know where to begin copying/pasting, so I’ll just offer a few key takeaways (of mine) and you can read or disregard at will. the creation of the world in the Russian calendar was...

I recently stumbled upon the Glastonbury Zodiac. Interesting in the very least, fascinating at best. After a site search only yielded two results (one re: the Glastonbury Tor, and another just mentioning Glastonbury in general), I wonder if you might have a look and consider opening a thread.

@Frank im not familiar with the old/new representation of a virus, but I’d love to see some examples of what you’re talking about.

I thought the largest living organism was the honey mushroom in Oregon. “Accurately guessing A. Ostoyae’s age is very difficult, the most agreed-upon range is 2000-9000 years old, a pretty wide range. The age estimates are based on recorded yearly growth records, ranging from 1-3 feet per...

The African aquifer seems to coincide with the Sea of Uniamesi (unyamwezi). Another fruitless fantasy about the source of the Nile. also a rigorous search of precipuum finds Gnathophyllum precipuum or Hawaiian cave shrimp. Emphasis on cave?

Ooh, sounding like plasma bubbles on the moon… a man after my own heart. I don’t necessarily discount the idea, but I do have some bones to pick with the supposition: a bubble wouldn’t leave enormous mounds of displaced earth, unless the bubble formed atop an existing hill (at least I don’t...

There’s an interesting tangent here… something I posited during my previous rant about Newport Dunes. After staring at grid cities for countless lengths of time, you start to recognize congruent/similar patterning. They’re like snowflakes, no two alike, however they’ve got recurring themes and...

Maybe we’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope here. Maybe it’s not the elm or the beech or the chestnut tree. Maybe it’s “trees” that they’re after, and these trees are just the low hanging fruit? sustainable farming has been replaced with monocropping, which is next to...
