For days, it remained unclear whether the whale found dead off the Danish coast was Timmy. Authorities have now confirmed that the well-known humpback whale did not survive his journey through the Baltic Sea.

After several days of uncertainty, authorities have confirmed that the dead whale stranded off a Danish island is the humpback whale known as "Timmy".

The confirmation came from Denmark’s Environmental Protection Agency, according to the Ritzau news agency, with broadcaster TV 2 among the first to report it.

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Environment Minister Till Backhaus has since also confirmed the whale’s death.

Denmark’s nature protection agency, Miljøstyrelsen, said a GPS transmitter was found on the carcass, confirming it was the same humpback whale previously sighted in the Baltic Sea and later stranded off the German coast.

"We can now confirm that the humpback whale stranded off Anholt is the same whale that had previously stranded in Germany," agency head Jane Hansen said in a written statement.

Authorities have so far been unable to recover the GPS device because of poor weather conditions.

The whale had been released just two weeks ago following a dramatic and highly debated rescue operation after repeatedly becoming stranded along Germany’s Baltic Sea coast, authorities said on Saturday.

Timmy was first spotted off the German coast on March 3. It remains unclear why the humpback whale entered the Baltic Sea, a region far outside its natural habitat and poorly suited to the species. Some marine experts believe the animal may have become disoriented while following shoals of herring or during migration.

Who knew I was a Taoist all along? I thought I was a nihilist. Not the kind with black turtlenecks but another kind. I've always been a bit interested in Dao/Taoism but never studied. All of the western weirdos who were into Eastern philosophy scared me off. I didn't want to turn into one of them like Steve Jobs or that hippy book about motorcycle maintenance. I believe in living in the moment and always have. Back when I was first studying Chinese I learned all the words for moving around: directions, street signs and so on because those are immediately useful. A lot of them had the character dao in them somewhere, like dadao, boulevard or daoda, arrive.

One day, I step into the vestibule of some random temple and there is a two-story high scroll of the character 到.

As I craned my neck to see the top, I said, "ooooh, I get it! Dao! The way!"

Upon seeing this, I was enlightened.

You acknowledge their sentience, but you ignore their personal liberties and freedom. Order a man to hand his child over to the state? Not while I am his captain. If you wish, you can accompany us to Starfleet, where we shall see... [then Troi delivers the bad news]

This wasn't pre-planned; I did not think I was in the market for alarm music. I just heard a track when exploring more of an artist's work that I'd heard from Geometry Dash (they're the musician behind Stereo Madness [and Stereo Madness 2, which imo is even better]), and it immediately struck me as solid alarm music.

It feels like 2006 again.

I've noticed that currently kids in University are told to Network, so they can have Connections when they get to the job market. Which, you know, fair enough, it's better advice than whatever non-sense I got in my time.

The thing is, however natural these things are, as a social mechanism, are they implicitly saying that the invisible hand is utter bullshit? We all know it is, but from the liberal point of view.

I mean, if it isn't your degree, skills, etc. what gets you the job, but your network, you're admitting so called merit is a dead end. The invisible hand isn't choosing you, it's the very visible strings attatched to you that must buy your way into the job market, right?
