huh, apparently Jupiter is ~0.0124 M_\odot

no, I messed up, that's the brown dwarf lower limit

quite a lot settle starting in 231 (then 234, 241, 245) fleeing persecutions of dwarven groups within a goblin civilization
<SnoopJ>
...goblins fleeing, or dwarves?
<egg|anbo|egg_>
goblins
<SnoopJ>
ethical goblins?

OK so the story seems to involve Urnblow
<egg|anbo|egg_>
The creed of radiance, a dwarven religious group, was formed in 63 in the fortress of Urnblow
<egg|anbo|egg_>
Urnblow was taken over by goblin invasion in 174
<raptop>
creed of radiance... dark fortress... hrm
<SnoopJ>
defense goblins?
<egg|anbo|egg_>
but it seems that the creed of radiance became very popular in that goblin civilization
<egg|anbo|egg_>
some joining before, many joining and preaching after the invasion
<SnoopJ>
assimilated goblins
<egg|anbo|egg_>
In the third century (200s) you start getting lots of persecutions by goblin governments against the creed of radiance, which is probably how Stroketorch ends up being full of goblins
<raptop>
astronomers being silly, I think. (or is this one of those ultrahard SF articles that sometimes shows up?) https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.15181

<SnoopJ>
egg|anbo|egg_, and Urnblow was still considered Dwarven at the time of the persecutions that caused the goblins to flee, I guess?
<egg|anbo|egg_>
no, urnblow still belongs to the goblin civ
<egg|anbo|egg_>
(in terms of population it is half-goblin and half-dwarven)
<SnoopJ>
hmm, because the religion was?
<egg|anbo|egg_>
but urnblow is much smaller than those 4000 goblins ; the creed of radiance seems to have spread through the goblin civ, and the persecutions meant lots of goblins fled somewhere else—into the dwarven civ that practiced the same creed
<SnoopJ>
wondering why it's "persecution of dwarven groups" they're fleeing from
<egg|anbo|egg_>
nono it’s explicitly persecution of the creed of radiance
<SnoopJ>
ah

!8 Is touching grass bad because grass is way better at slicing up exposed feet than anyone wants to acknowledge?
<galois>
raptop: no

raptop: tired: walking on grass; wired: walking on moss
<egg|anbo|egg>
and clover, and whatever the hell else grows in ANBO
<egg|anbo|egg>
there is some grass but I suspect its primary purpose is to be grazed by ANBOcat
<raptop>
grass is way sharper (and in some cases more serrated) than is popularly acknowledged. The fact that it grows with embedded bits of silica doesn't help

raptop: yeah walking on moss is much nicer than on grass
<egg|anbo|egg>
conveniently the ANBOlawn seems to be mossier than it is grassy

<mofh> you have just turned a music generation problem into a compiler; I think you have been spending too much time around whitequark

⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ ah the `<mofh>` doesn’t show up on this side because it gets interpreted as HTML
