Are there any #nostr projects out there that allow you to filter what you get from those you are following. For instance, there are some accounts always posting BTC price predictions which I don't find to be to valuable, and I would like filtered out. However, some of these same accounts post really useful insights. I'd like a personal algorithm to filter out the noise and summarize the signal. #asknostr

@GlobalTraces I hope your journey is going well. Ive missed seeing your photos for the last few days.

This week in #environmental #science we are talking about problems having to do with the degradation and pollution. These include erosion, organic matter depletion, compaction, destruction in biodiversity, acidity, salinity, and contamination. file:///C:/Users/ijmad/Downloads/20180118_095130.jpg

In #environmental #science I require my students to engage their senses in observing nature. Each week they have to fill 2 pages of a notebook making observations on the natural world. This assignment is quite fun and easy to do with my 7 year old, but some of the university students struggle with it. It appears to me the curiosity and observation is trained out of many students as they progress through the school system here. This experience has definitely made me appreciate #homeschooling more.

This one was worth the listen. Possibly one of my favorite episodes from What Bitcoin Did and it's not even about bitcoin.

I use #coracle on desktop and #primal on phone. When I compare the numbers of followers I have on each the numbers are wildly different. Why is this? I am simply curious. #asknostr

This week in #environmental #science, I was teaching on ecological niches. And the importance of biodiversity that we might not like. Students here in #Zambia generally kill snakes on sight. I am no fan of snakes either, but here is a geat article on the importance and niche of the puff adder. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-99550-3

@Peter Alexander was great on @TFTC talking about what #America gets wrong about China. Peter said something like this, I'd heard before, "China is not a nation, but a culture masquerading as a nation." When we pair this with the old idea that "America is not a nation, but an idea" we actually have a competition between an idea and a culture not between two nations.
