AI Thread Summary
A community group organized a cleanup event in local parks and stream banks, attracting around 35-45 participants.

Enjoy the day

We will join up today with a bunch of our community to clean up the parks and stream banks in our area.
Every litter bit helps. :)

That sounds like a wonderful thing to do.
 
Great turnout - ~35-45 of us stayed for a good afternoon.

It's truly amazing how much stuff gets blown around during the Winter.

The city gave us blessings to plant a bunch of Maple trees, in a semi-circle at one end of the park dedicated to the long time residents that are still with us and those that have recently passed.
Should be a nice area in twenty years. I hope I'll be around to see them mature. Simple things times a thousand can be wonderful things.

Kudos to you and your group.
 

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
