Pop culture illiterate.

We are all part of this biological entity called Earth.

The more I learn, the more I know I don't know. This is OK. Nobody can be an expert in everything. Lean on each other’s expertise.

Grok all the hues, shades, tints, tones, and intensities of everything you encounter and learn. Nothing is back and white, and even shades of gray often fail.

So here's how it's going:

We got all the furniture into the POD and now have to pack what's remaining in the kitchen. So things are a little messy

Our twins are down from Canada helping, & their dear friend is here for the night from San Diego, to see them. We adore her. But it's a little chaotic

At 4:30 am we get a text--coincidentally we're awake--from our pal/realtor! We'd missed her earlier text, we have a showing today at 12:30. Oy. & why was SHE up?

Scramble time

Just a normal day

You're reminding me of the main move out of the Long Island home. We had the house on the market for close to 2 years, but this was only 2 months in. In the middle of filling yet another u-haul, we had three showings. Obviously didn't sell to any of them. It took over a year more before it sold. One of the people who helped us move out that day eventually bought it. It had quiet and safe beach access for a newly wed celebrity couple. Plus they already knew some in the development.

“People tend to think that an outbreak starts at Monday at 9 a.m. with a sign saying, ‘Outbreak has started,’” said Jeremy Farrar, chief scientist at the World Health Organization. “It’s rarely like that.”

Don't they know disease outbreaks are posted by filing them in the circular filing cabinet in the tornado shelter out back?

Just a reminder in this age of extreme weather events, Trump wanted to monetize NOAA data. If he had been successful, weather alerts and advanced warning systems would have been behind a paywall.

Germany's Solar Energy Boom: Too Much of a Good Thing? - TechStory

Read RethinkX's Energy Report
htts://rethinkx.com/energy It talks of huge amounts of extreme low cost energy from properly built out solar & wind generation with battery backup. The costs for solar, wind, and backup battery systems are getting very low cost. Over building solar and wind generation allows most day to be supplied by current generation. Batteries are only needed for extended low generation periods. On days when generation is maximal, there will be lots of excess.

Eka_FOOF_A,

@christineburns
That excess can be used for very energy intensive projects like CO2 draw down.

Today I saw a number, which I will never forget.

During this war, Russia has launched 5628 Shahed-136 drones towards Ukraine.

That is 5628 times, civilians have heard a buzzing moped engine in the sky, and seen the Shahed-136 strike a civilian home, a power plant, or a school with its 50 kilogram warhead.

For comparison, Hitler struck London with 2857 V1 and V2 rockets — half as many.

I simply do not know what to tell future generations when they ask, why we did not stop the Russian terror.

Cities Are Switching to Electric Vehicles Faster Than Individuals.

Electric trucks and sedans have proven popular with municipal fleets, but cities have also bought niche vehicles such as an electric Zamboni.

For towns and cities they make sense right now. For under $55,000 one can get a base car that will solidly do 0-60 MPH in 3.5 seconds, and 155 MPH top speed. That's a stock Tesla Model Y Performance you can buy now. An up-fitter can turn that into an excellent police car.
Charging can be mostly done over night with standard level two charges. Mid day top ups can be done with DC fast chargers if needed.

For meter maids, just get the low end 2WD models.

The Co-Op Live Arena, already dogged by delays & problems, tonight has had to cancel the Nicki Minaj concert after she was detained by police at Schipol (and only released way to late for the show to go ahead).

👍🏻 Via Kyle Griffin:

Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sen. Richard Blumenthal have intro’d legislation to enforce the Constitution's explicit language banning foreign by prohibiting the President, VP, Cabinet officials and Members of Congress from accepting payments from foreign governments without first obtaining the consent of Congress.

Officials would be prohibited from accepting foreign payments without Congressional approval during the entire time in office and for two years after leaving.

“If you want to do a job that’s kinda like a hobby, you can do a job,” Musk said. “But otherwise, AI and the robots will provide any goods and services that you want.”

Yes. It has been something I've discussed with many over the decades. I first wrote AI code back in the late 1970s. For as long of time I've also known some of the greedmongers in this world. It is pathological for them. We used to have tax laws that kept them under control.

Did you know Musk has long been warning about the dangers of AI. His ideas on merging mind and machine is likely the only way to win, but it is a serious two edged sward the totalitarians will gladly use.

Somebody can install a part or pick a berry, but not know what the parts or food is. Current "AI" robots can do that. Yeah, I know they aren't intelligent. I've been known to call them Artificial Idiots. They can do complex tasks that have loosely defined specifications. The complexity of the tasks they can do will increase fast.
