UTXOs are like a coin you can split and join. The other option is accounts, fuck that.

The database doesn't have to index everything. It should index in reverse and not store anything spent, and the older, the less optimized, as it's unlikely to ever be spent the further you go back.

The scum deliberately confuse everyone to make them suspicious of each other. Women are more vulnerable to social pressure.

There is very few women out there of eligible age who are not either onlyfans or bluehairs.

It's irrelevant to talk about how it is in Iran when the subject is USA or uk or eu or canada at Australia. This isn't new, it was already well advanced by the late 90s. It's also why I prefer eastern Europe. The girls are much more influenced by baba here. Baba knows how things work. But the system is aiming to destroy the viability.

I just spent 2 years in Madeira. It's really obvious there that the average age of people is rising fast. As well that young people under 40 have no money to visit places like it. And what the eu regs are doing to health. I return to Belgrade and there is more young women and almost none are fat.

lol, amsterdam

madeira is fine. similar belgrade. amsterdam isn't even that bad compared to dublin or gatwick

what broke the internet today was the X-ray flash. on tuesday, then we get geomagnetic storms and potentially power and more internet problems.

and i forgot i needed the xapo app. can't install it on graphene. gonna just use the one i didn't root. the blackview is broken, i rooted it and now it refuses to boot. the motorola defy is the one most likely to have an incident with its battery.

i was going to just leave my other old cruddy phones but i have to keep one.

and i don't like it. gonna get a faraday cage for it.

so long now i barely ever took a phone with me, and now i'm like, ah crap this was the thing i didn't like about this. but on the bright side, i rarely need it - i can even just punt btc at it if the card doesn't work but i can see myself not renewing the account subscription next year.

anyway, so that's that. got the app sorted out, and i changed my mind about keeping the others. they are going off a cliff, after they get a good smacking with a crowbar.

seems it might be alby is down. ui is not loading

touching grass may not be good for you if there is radio frequency current around. i've been starting to suspect i haven't been helping myself by doing this so much.

leaky current in corroded old wiring going through damp concrete walls, and the noise induction many things can add higher frequency components to the local electrical network, and they seep into the whole circuit.

the explanation Claude gave pretty much suggests this also, although it falsely claims that low power EMF from wifi and such are no threat. lol. yeah, but especially, what about if you are earthed?

i think that maybe Jack Kruse is partially wrong in what he says about earthing. here's what Claude says:

is there conditions under which EMF energy is dangerous to be exposed to while being earthed (other than electrocution)?

Examined RF exposure risks and grounding's role in current pathways.18s

The user is asking about whether there are conditions where electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure could be dangerous when a person is electrically grounded/earthed, aside from the obvious risk of electrocution (completing a circuit with a live source).

This is a somewhat technical question that touches on physics and health. Let me think about what I know:

Grounding/earthing in the context the user seems to be asking about could mean:

Electrical grounding (being connected to earth ground)

The "earthing" wellness practice (walking barefoot, using grounding mats, etc.)

EMF exposure concerns typically involve:

Ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays) - definitely dangerous at sufficient doses

Non-ionizing radiation (radio waves, microwaves, power line frequencies) - the health effects are debated for low-level chronic exposure

When grounded, could EMF be more dangerous?

For RF/microwave: Being grounded could potentially affect how currents flow through the body. In some RF exposure scenarios, grounding can actually increase current flow through the body because you become part of a path to ground.

Induced currents: In strong magnetic fields (like near power lines or industrial equipment), currents can be induced in the body. If grounded, this could potentially create a more complete circuit.

Lightning: Being grounded outdoors during a thunderstorm increases risk, but that's essentially electrocution.

RF burns and grounding: In RF environments (like near broadcast antennas), grounding can actually be dangerous because it creates a path for RF currents to flow through the body to ground, potentially causing RF burns.

MRI safety: In MRI machines (strong magnetic fields + RF), having conductive paths (like loops formed by the body or wires) can cause localized heating. Grounding electrodes during MRI can be dangerous.

Let me think about whether I should search for this. The user seems to be asking a legitimate physics/safety question. I have reasonable knowledge about this topic, but it's somewhat specialized.

I could search to verify or provide more detail.

Actually, I think I can answer this reasonably well from my knowledge. The key scenarios where grounding + EMF could be problematic involve specific electromagnetic environments that create unique current pathways through the body. Particularly in radio frequency settings, near powerful magnetic fields, or with industrial equipment, being grounded can unexpectedly increase electrical current risks. The physics suggests that grounding isn't always protective and can sometimes amplify potential electromagnetic hazards.

I aim to explore the nuanced technical aspects without sensationalizing potential dangers or dismissing legitimate electromagnetic interaction concerns.

Yes, there are a few scenarios where being grounded can actually increase risk from EMF exposure:

RF (radio frequency) environments: Near broadcast antennas, industrial RF heaters, or other high-power RF sources, being grounded can be worse than being isolated. Your body becomes a path for RF currents to flow to ground, which can cause RF burns—localized tissue heating at the points of contact. Workers in RF environments are sometimes trained to avoid grounding themselves for this reason.

Induced currents from strong magnetic fields: Near high-voltage power lines, substations, or industrial equipment with strong alternating magnetic fields, currents can be induced in your body. If you're grounded, this creates a more complete circuit for those currents to flow through. The induced currents are usually too small to be dangerous in everyday scenarios, but in occupational settings with very strong fields, grounding can increase exposure.

Contact currents: In areas with elevated ambient fields, touching a large grounded metal object (fence, vehicle) while you yourself are also grounded can result in current flowing through you, even without any fault condition. This is a known issue near high-voltage transmission lines.

MRI environments: Grounding electrodes or conductive loops during MRI scans can cause serious localized heating and burns due to the combination of strong static magnetic fields and pulsed RF.

For everyday environmental EMF levels (wifi, cell towers, household wiring), grounding doesn't meaningfully change your exposure in any dangerous way—the field strengths are far too low for these effects to matter.

----

and further:

what countermeasures can one take short of filtering the power, in such a case?

Catalogued practical mitigation strategies beyond electrical filtering solutions.

Several practical approaches:

Distance: The near-field from wiring drops off rapidly. Positioning beds and workstations away from walls with heavy wiring runs (especially near breaker panels, or walls shared with kitchens/laundry) meaningfully reduces exposure. Even 1-2 meters makes a substantial difference.

Circuit elimination: Demand switches (sometimes called "kill switches") can cut power to specific circuits when not in use—particularly useful for bedroom circuits at night. You retain one live circuit for essentials and kill the rest. This eliminates both the 50/60Hz fields and any conducted HF noise on those runs.

Battery isolation: For devices you use close to your body (laptops, phones charging on nightstands), running from battery rather than mains removes the conductive path for HF noise to couple through the device to you.

Source remediation: This is the real answer. Thermal imaging can identify hot spots from arcing or high-resistance connections. An electrician with an EMI meter or even an AM radio can locate noise sources. Fixing corroded connections, replacing degraded wiring, and ensuring proper bonding eliminates the problem rather than working around it.

Grounding hygiene: Ensuring your electrical system has clean, low-impedance grounding with no ground loops reduces circulating currents. Paradoxically, poor grounding often makes HF noise problems worse because return currents take multiple paths.

Selective disconnection while sleeping: Simply switching off breakers for non-essential circuits at night is free and immediately effective for the highest-exposure period.

The source remediation path is worth prioritizing—arcing connections tend to get worse, not better.

It's because the elimination of corruption in people's social circuits is hard, and hard to see, especially when they are doing magic tricks, hypnotising you and escaping justice.

Personality disorders are not understood by enough people for the mass to pay attention to the Warners, who are telling whoever will listen that things are amiss and who appears to be behind the problems.

Warners are also known as prophets, and the tyrants drive them out of society.

Many of them end up being killed and then later people realise, long after the damage is done.

conversely, being legal is no metric of safety or justice.

I can see again. Right now reading my pixel 9a at default text size, at about 2'.

The cause is likely gingko and tryptophan and tyrosine. Plus maca and cacao. But the latter did not do it alone before.

I think the tyrosine is reducing my sleep requirements. Meaning fatigue is now the biggest part weakening focus and convergence.

Ideology does that. The mental cage of cult flesh traders.

Yes, there's been some research in this area, though it's still quite nascent compared to other piezoelectric applications.

**What exists:**

A March 2025 paper in Scientific Reports investigated a hybrid system integ [Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-95213-5) rating piezoelectric and geothermal properties of basalt and quartz stones to generate electricity, noting that quartz and tourmaline show piezoelectric properties when subjected to mechanical stress or natural vibrations, such as seismic activity or mechanical pressure. This appears to be one of the first studies specifically coupling geothermal heat storage with piezoelectric harvesting from natural stone.

Earlier foundational work from 1981 (Bishop's paper in Tectonophysics) established that quartz-rich rocks like quartzites, granites, gneisses, and mylonites do exhibit measurable piezoelectric effects when stressed, though rocks with little free quartz like marble and basalt did not show significant effects. [ScienceDirect](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0040195181902687)

**Related findings:**

Recent 2024 research in Nature Geoscience demonstrated that stress on quartz crystals can generate enough voltage to electrochemically deposit gold from solution [Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01514-1) during seismic events—proving that natural piezoelectric voltages in underground quartz are real and geologically significant.

**Key challenges:**

The research identifies several issues limiting practical underground piezoelectric harvesting:

- Studies on the efficiency of natural stones in generating electricity from mechanical stress are sparse, and scaling piezoelectric systems for continuous energy generation remains a technical challenge. [Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-95213-5)

- Piezoelectricity requires *changing* stress (dynamic loading), not static geological pressure

- Natural crystal orientations in rock are often random, which reduces net output

- Synthetic materials like PZT ceramics vastly outperform natural quartz

There's also work on piezoelectric harvesters for downhole drilling operations, but these use engineered materials rather than harvesting from the rocks themselves.

So the concept is being explored, but it's early-stage. Most piezoelectric energy harvesting research focuses on surface applications (roads, railways, wearables) where you can control the materials and stress conditions.

It is a hoax, propaganda to make people submissive to USA. But it retarded the growth of energy production globally and made the mistakes of Fukushima and Chernobyl drive an anti growth political ideology of environmentalism.

They shot themselves in the foot and the harvest of this is now here. And pile on the explosive growth of socialism. To resolve this, we need scientists and engineers working clandestinely to fast track micro reactor systems and possibly Tesla style ground electric energy scavengers.

I'm starting to get ideas about this. Literally wires into high silica rocks with capacitor plates and large carbon based supercapacitors. I just need to find good data on where piezoelectric bedrock can be found.

Nobody will notice it.

With access to that power, which due to declining field strength is escalating fast, we could synthesise fuels from CO₂ and methane, also in the rock. From raw silver and gold ores, get catalysts like rhodium, platinum and palladium for this. Or hydrogen "bombs" the nickname some meth cooks call them. High pressure reaction vessels that allow low energy inputs forvarious syntheses of organic chemicals using electro separated platinum type metals.

Not sure about writing and editing but I'm starting to really like how helpful Claude tries to be. About 1/10 times it makes happy accidents. I have just realised that is what creativity is. And you have to *act* ie try, to have them.

the reason why the legacy social media make money is because so much money is being thrown at controlling what people think, advertising and propaganda.

the protocol is just a protocol. it has nothing to do with the problem. it's like comparing Thunderbird to Outlook. almost nobody is usivg mozilla's version anymore, and it's barely changed in 20 years. Outlook is still holding users because it's part of Exchange and 365

the same difference. protocol is free, but nobody can build something with it forever on donations and personal savings.

oh, oopsie, they lied about glyphosate being safe. but no harm done.

you are talking about people who were engaging in incitement, and buying the cover story that it is about race or something. it's incitement. cut and dried.

the politics these days are just straight up psychological warfare, and most of it is coming from the left. they have lost their power and their subversion is going into overdrive. and on the other side, pulling strings, are the neocons, who are also racist cunts, who spend all their time writing screeds about why we should kill and rob all kinds of designated groups of people that have nothing to do with law and justice.

what's happened is that they have normalized this, for decades, and everyone just forgets to think and repeats what their favourite influencer says.

even that, the whole influencer thing, that's propaganda and a bunch more incitement. that laser guy, who is constantly spouting fascist Calvinist doctrines, he's inciting as well.

i don't engage in incitement. i just want to be left alone, and i would like it very much if people would start looking at the real issue instead of the cartoon version.

and yes, btw, i'm saying that it should be considered a misdemeanor to PUBLISH pornography. it's incitement to lust. this is detrimental to the social fabric.

you also left out the context of what was being debunked? what i said about tyrosine? because i literally have done this twice, phenylalanine does it too. when there is a large amount of free amino acids in the blood, it stimulates conversion into the neurotransmitters that are made from them. dopamine, adrenalin, noradrenalin. yes, in the brain is 1 and 3 and in the adrenal glands is 2.

the thing about tryptophan is entirely different. they literally took it off the OTC market in australia as Prozac was introduced. tryptophan is an essential nutrient, and depression and related psychological disturbances are caused by deficiency.

also note that chicken and pig both have high levels of these large, catecholamine precursor amino acids. beef, turkey and salmon have high natural levels of tryptophan. meats that are low in catecholamine precursors or high in tryptophan are ok to eat before bed, in moderate amounts. pig and chicken will ruin your sleep.

#TIL that in portugal, you can buy supplement tablets containing tryptophan. found one with 25mg per capsule today. gonna be taking it. it also has tyrosine in it, so despite the advice on the pack i don't think it wise to take it sooner than about 2 hours before going to bed (if you want to remember dreams, 500mg of tyrosine will see you wake up in the middle of REM cycles).

i will be, once i stack enough sats to get a framework desktop. i've got some exciting ideas about how to make LLMs masters of game theory and programming language structures.

there is good reason to believe that lower case plural "gods" often appears in contexts where in other texts (like the greek) say "angelos" and the hebrew says "elohim" they are people. not a metaphor. people with pale skin, 7` typical stature and elongated heads, and larger eyes. prototypic of the "grey" aliens and "nordics" many people claim to have been abducted by and had babies conceived and then later, extracted with advanced technology (probably teleporting).

what if both aliens, angels and "gods" (lower case, plural) in texts all refer to these people. and the hebrews called them "elohim" which is the plural for brightness, like, as in, white skin, red/blonde hair, compared to mostly brown humans. the irish called them "tuatha de danaan" or "aes dana" the people of light, or the tribe of bright ones.

that's what i believe, and that they are our fellow humans, who advanced so far that around 5000 years ago, they rounded up all of the fallen angels, and threw them into the volcano of Tenerife (the greeks called it Tartarus, the word that is translated as Hell in the new testament) and they left, and all of human history since then has been to do with the half-breeds who were trained and inducted into the cult of chronos, aka saturn, aka Satan, the enemy of the non-fallen angels, the serpent, aka Qetzlcoatl of the aztecs, with his flashy clothing ornamented with the prismatic feathers and scales of birds and reptiles.

pretty sure that other cultures have myths about this "serpent" guy also, because he went on a world tour, starting up imperial cults, and of whom the degraded DNA of these cultists has reached the point now where they are entirely similar to most people on this planet except for they often have genetic defects caused by inbreeding, as they try to maintain their nephilim genetics.

idk where it crept in but the God vs god way of writing what i'm very sure the latter are literal humans. the south american name of cacao is an example. which "gods" were they talking about?

pretty sure they were "angels" of the fallen variety. i doubt you will ever look into it but it is clear as day to me, reading genesis that angels "looked like" and that was because they *were* a type of human. substantially different phenotype, elongated heads, tall, pale skin, red/blonde hair, blue/green eyes. thus why the hebrews called them "elohim" - which means the bright ones. also, the word for archangel, a general of a legion of angels, is Morning Star and go read the last verses of Revelation to see that the voice of Jesus is right there claiming to be the most senior of the archangels.

but i must be taking this out of context since that's against all catholic and protestant doctrines, even though it literally says that the fallen angels made freak giant children when they raped human women.

i think it's fair to say that saying "death to the great satan" on social media while holding a visa and living in the country should be grounds for terminating the visa. to be fair, they get a free flight back home and life ban also

I've been in constant sleep deficit for about a month now. My mental state is one of constant alarm and trying to make sense of how to plan and act to end this.

I have to completely stop using caffeine, and realign my schedule to the sun because I'm not getting the sleep, and then not properly waking up.

I'm gonna stop using my computer on the weekend. The temptation to type long, complex and error ridden text, and crack open the claude cli to build bucket list software projects. The constant vigilance to keep prompting it to allow reading this or fetching that.

And on top of that, the events in space, the atmosphere, in the world, war, mass delusion and people who have been conditioned to believe absurdities.

And I'm trying to figure out how to not get caught in the mess going on in everyone's minds, down the road where population is much higher.

And fighting a mostly winning battle to recover kidney function, muscle strength and vision.

First mistake is the sleep. This is as much screen as I will do today. Ate a tasty breakfast and I'm gonna just force myself to lie down and catch up. Gotta sync wakeup with sunrise, and get out there halg an hour.

You don't want what I'm on. Mostly it's just stress, fatigue and lack of exercise. When I say I needed to cut caffeine - that is now one a day. Not anymore. At all.

https://git.nostrdev.com/mleku/next.orly.dev/src/branch/main/docs/names.md

this is a novel consensus protocol that uses nostr relays for storage and rendezvous connections, to process name registrations (as in DNS names) and registration updates (mainly assigning them to new npubs).

just for the fuck of it i threw in a TLS replacement that uses nostr cryptography and the noise protocol instead of AES256 CBC/CFB types of encryption used in SSL, it's going to be using sha256, probably chacha20poly1305 as the cipher stream (although, to be fair, AES-NI is faster on most hardware if the compiler supports using it) CSPRNG, because hey, we can integrate ACME challenges into the protocol, so relays can verify bindings between a name and an IP address.

the consensus is based on one designed by lesterpig, the inventor of the "sporeDB" database replication protocol, which more recently he refined and upgraded to become "PnyxDB" named after the forum in Athens where democracy first happened.

it works by relay operators specifying their trust ranking of other relays that they do, or do not, particularly, want to replicate their version of the database, and based on the user assigned trust scores, and the trust scores assigned by those users towards other candidate new trtansactions, and it accepts them if they pass 50% trust and ignore them if they don't.

this creates what i'm going to refer to as a "lumpy consensus" that is fairly consistent between nodes but different enough that because it's fully peer-driven, subjective evaluations, the only attack on this consensus is a social one, so, there is no central lever in the consensus, it's less than 100% consistent, maybe it varies from 75-99% agreement on the consist of the database, but because to coordinate an attack on the consensus one has to recruit more than 50% of the relay operator population in order to beat the un-manipulated choices of the remainder, creates a lot of friction for attempts to compromise it.

this proposal completely covers every aspect, even ones you hadn't considered, such as the integration of acme challenges for verifying the server is controlled by someone who also controls the nsec of the registration. because it's a p2p network, the reason for integrating the connection encryption with it is that you can basically turn the network into letsencrypt, without the single point of failure. so there can't be a monopoly market in third party attestations, either, because the cost for robust attestations is trivial.

putting this at the OS level is just augmenting the DNS client in most OSs with a nostr client that reads and caches relevant data from the consensus, same way as a BIND9 client does. because the actual database is stored in a nostr relay, the name service client doesn't have to cache anything, it can just pick any random replica to query for name resolution requests. but you can also run a replica yourself, and always have an up to date database of all the registered names and never wait for the network to know where to connect.

i intend to build this thing in the near future. and i think that this, whether what i make catches on, or an improved version, is going to be 100% a thing on nostr within the next 12 months. we are going to most resolutely get the attention of the cabal rolling this technology out, though they aren't gonna figure it out until after it's already in the wild.

there may be small details and maybe my design isn't quite right to do the job fully yet but it's a likely good starting point, and once it exists, nostr can fully detach from the IANA namespace. so, please do read, and criticise the shit out of it, make counter-proposals and whatever else.

the sooner we can detach from the DNS and TLS cabals the better.

DNS is the main vulnerability in nostr right now. it depends heavily on it. if it could move that dependency INSIDE nostr that would be a phenomenal defense against compromise of the desirable properties of the protocol.

ok, i'm wrong about that. there are such things as column stores which use a different structure model than key/values

after a few questions drilling down to the point, this is what GPT gives me:

Short answer to your core question

Is a flat file of blobs addressable by SHA256 hash the best solution?

No, not as a single monolithic flat file.

But:

Content-addressable blobs by hash = excellent idea.

The best implementation in practice is usually:

Append-only segment files (or many files), with a hash → location index, and possibly hash-sharded directories or an embedded KV store.

This will:

Be faster and more scalable than a single flat file.

Be more efficient than a naive “one file per blob” once you hit large counts.

Play very nicely with your immutable tables.

storing events with an LSM like lmdb or badger and storing binary blobs with your regular ext4 filesystem (maybe f2fs is better for SSD) is actually the most efficient way to sort and fetch large blobs, not only that, as it points out, you need to partition the blob storage to have at least a small and then larger blob index because the more you...

you know, mix up small and big things in one storage system

the slower you can search it, especially for the small objects.

or in other words

just put a blossom server on it. regardless of anything else, base64 is 20% less efficient and that efficiency loss can't be amortized with compression. and such encoded forms also require decoding to actually pick through the content as well. simple blob files named after their hash and indexed in a table is the simplest, yet nearly most efficient way for nostr to be handling hosting blobs.

lol

i can tell that you have a strong grasp on the implementation requirements for a relational database or graph database. they ALL use KV stores under the hood.

the only way real world database engines tolerate this kind of structure without degrading iteration performance is partitioning the large data from the small. or you could just say, why would you store a jpeg in an event instead of the raw binary in a blossom record? it's trivial to just store them as files with the hash as filename, and the filesystem is already optimized for traversing the metadata to find it efficiently.

my personal definition of "normie" is precisely that.

usually it requires them to strongly believe in something that is bullshit that contradicts and interferes with them even asking the question.

curiosity is the first thing that the system has to bury to make a person normal.

it's fine for regular sized events, but it's going to take a big whack out of performance of the database finding small events when it has giant blobs randomly scattered through the kv log structures.

and it's trivial to add a blossom server to a relay, my relay already has one. in theory, supports all of the BUDs too. ah yes:

here's a reasonable starting point for implementing one in Go:

everything involving ukraine has a conspiracy tied to it.

zelenskiy has got huge reputational issues now associated with his attempt to shut down the anticorruption agency and stop elections from being run. associated with conspiracies between him and his showbiz buddies.

that's the fallacy that marxism brainwashed people's belief that capitalism means modern liberal democratic state, and not organised crime.

did i say liberal democratic state? yeah, i meant organised crime. politics is organised crime, either they just declare they voted to rob you, or they borrow money as well as divert the tax income to robbing you more invisibly (bank inflation, privilege in borrowing money).

the irony is that the majority of people between the millionaire and billionaire range are honest and mustered a large group of people to do something productive.

the ones right at the top, the 0.1% or so, the soros and gates and schwabb and all the rest are criminals, and they aren't just ordinary criminals, they are megalomaniacs and their whole joy in life is watching people being tricked into throwing their lives away, and protecting the petty criminals who keep their herd nervous and pliable.

the marxist doctrines literally have people thinking that the market is a criminal enterprise ad the government is legitimate, when the opposite is true in 99.999% of cases on this planet. all of the governments are corrupted. all of the large institutions are controlled. the big churches, and all those companies that are being paid by what is essentially stolen AND blood money, like that gold the CIA stole from iraq.

randomly remembering i read somewhere someone discovered there was codes that could trigger something, maybe GPT-4? or something, to signify something that was an internal pattern in the model, and alter its behaviour.

that made me think of the fact that words are codes and coding theory is a whole very interesting branch of mathematics.

i wonder if the semantic graphs in the models bind concepts to numbers also, because i know there is relations between specific numbers and specific concepts due to the inherent geometric patterns that are associated with some particular thing or phenomena, cos those "cheat codes" i saw mention of were numbers.

it's quite an interesting and fascinating point about the tech: how it works exactly is still not understood completely. for example, it was only just last year Anthropic determined from testing that LLMs go through a conceptual remapping phase when doing translations.

like, idk about you but even though it's "artificial" - quite clearly there is a lot about the tech that is the opposite, emergent, original, that we don't even know is in there yet!

also, yes, CODMW2 is not as fun as this game was. i like COD games but they don't tap that whole high speed reflexes and tactics focus that i enjoy the most.

svelte is a wholly different experience to working with react.

everything is in neat little boxes and i can mostly apply CSS changes manually compared to constantly begging the LLM to actually understand what i am asking for. a lot less time in the junie sidebar more time actually hand-tinkering with code.

unfortunately i have to work with React for my paid gig, for now, but i'm gonna master this svelte thing because it is very neat, concise and performant. my first exercise will be building a svelte based nostr kind 1 type client

that could have been because of shifting from equatorial to polar position tho. they wouldn't have been prepared for it. even if the place doesn't get washed away the changed temperatures will probably kill off most food sources growing and living there.

also it's telling that there is evidence, that wasn't washed away or buried deeply, of the existence of these people. they just would have been living in a lush high altitude plateau in the warm subtropical zone and then are suddenly temperate zone. everything freezes in winter and nothing was prepared for it, except a few outliers and burrowing animals and many trees would not survive that transition very well. though, ok, a lot of things would make it.

point being that there probably was no food for some years while herds built back up and people got adapted to the new weather and adjusted their construction to adapt.
