EW May our friendship endure, signed by hg, kty, wjj, and xyz.
The very first message gives away the name of what we assume is a web-based upload system, "EW" being its advertisement signature added to every message.
Running shows that the messages are encoded with OP_RETURN:

Video "What is more obscene: sex or war? scene from The People vs. Larry Flynt".
If illegal porn were to ever be found, we would be unable to acknowledge that, and would just have to silently remove it. Of course, the reproducible nature of Bitcoin Inscription Indexer means that anyone who regenerates the data would immediately see such entries in the diff.
Another issue is that it can be quite hard to determine if porn is legal or illegal, e.g. it can be hard to distinguish legal an illegal ages or revenge vs consensual porn, especially at the low resolutions that you may expect to find embedded in the blockchain. We are generally going to be quite strict about this, and in case of uncertainty on porn legality we will censor first.
OK the list:

HD 101584 is a star located in the constellation of Centaurus, approximately 1,140 light-years away from Earth. It is classified as a post-AGB (Asymptotic Giant Branch) star, which indicates that it is in a late stage of stellar evolution. In this phase, a star has exhausted the hydrogen in its core and has moved beyond the red giant phase, potentially leading towards becoming a white dwarf.

Bond softening refers to a phenomenon observed in the context of materials science and solid-state physics, particularly in the study of mechanical properties of materials. It denotes a reduction in the strength of atomic or molecular bonds in a material, which can lead to a decrease in its overall mechanical strength and stiffness.
In chemistry, the term "field effect" often refers to the influence that an applied electric field can have on the properties and behavior of molecules, especially in the context of conductive materials and charge carrier mobility. While the term is more commonly associated with electronics (e.g., field-effect transistors), it does have applications in chemistry, particularly in areas like electrochemistry and molecular interactions.
A **rigid rotor** is a model used in molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of a rotating molecule where it is assumed that the bond lengths and angles between atoms do not change during rotation. This simplification means that the molecular structure is considered to be fixed and rigid, which allows for the analysis of the rotational motion of the entire molecule as a solid object.
The Chayanda field is an oil and gas field located in the Sakha (Yakutia) region of Russia. It is part of the East Siberian region, which has been the focus of significant exploration and development due to its rich hydrocarbon resources. The Chayanda field is particularly notable for being part of Russia's efforts to increase its production and export of natural gas, especially to Asia.
The National Helium Reserve, also known as the Federal Helium Reserve, is a government-owned facility located near Amarillo, Texas. It was established in the 1920s to ensure a stable supply of helium for various applications, including military and scientific uses, particularly during World War II and the Cold War.
The 1961 New South Wales earthquake occurred on December 28, 1961, and is one of the most significant seismic events in Australia's history. With a magnitude of 5.6, it struck near the town of Bargo, located southwest of Sydney. The earthquake was felt widely throughout the Sydney metropolitan area and as far away as Canberra and Goulburn.
A VM reactor, or a Virtual Machine reactor, typically refers to a component or architecture used in virtualization environments that manage and operate virtual machines (VMs). However, that specific term isn’t widely recognized in standard technical literature or industry usage. In general, virtualization technology allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine, each acting as an independent system with its own operating system and applications. This enables better resource utilization and flexibility in deploying and managing computing resources.
COVRA (Central Organisation for Radioactive Waste) is the Dutch facility responsible for the management and disposal of high-level radioactive waste generated in the Netherlands. Located in the municipality of Borsele, COVRA was established to provide a centralized solution for handling various types of radioactive waste, including spent nuclear fuel and other materials from nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and research institutions. COVRA's primary functions include the safe storage, treatment, and eventual disposal of radioactive waste.
The Kharkiv Nuclear Power Plant, also known as the Kharkiv NPP, is a proposed nuclear power facility in Ukraine. It has been a topic of discussion and planning for several years, reflecting Ukraine's interest in expanding its nuclear energy capabilities to meet growing energy demands, ensure energy security, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
"Pre-Konvoi" typically refers to an event, initiative, or program associated with the logistics or preparations that occur prior to a larger convoy operation, especially in contexts related to military or humanitarian efforts. The term may be tied to the organization and coordination required to ensure that all resources, personnel, and materials are ready for deployment.
AN 51 typically refers to "Advisory Notice 51," which is often issued by regulatory agencies or organizations in various fields, including aviation, finance, and engineering. These notices provide guidance, best practices, or updates on safety and regulatory issues. In aviation, for example, AN 51 might relate to safety regulations or operational procedures. The specific content and implications of AN 51 would depend on the context in which it is issued.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
