Lamppost EV chargers are the answer to how you charge your vehicle in cities.

This is possible because when energy intensive street lamps were replaced by LEDs, there’s excess power for charging EVs.

All cities should do this. ⚡️

Thomson Reuters: Mexico is about to experience its 'highest temperatures ever recorded' as death toll climbs https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/mexico-heat-wave-1.7214308

ai6yr,

@MsMerope But yes, that would be #1 on my list of "bad stuff that could happen in 2024" list (for folks who don't live in hurricane areas). And, globally. #2 is super-crazy-hurricanes level Texas, Louisiana, or Florida. #3 is H5N1 hops from cows to humans and then it's all bets off. #4 is western wildfires, but that is an assumed risk; that said, a lot of the flammable stuff caught fire in the last 8 years or so, so less fuel. But heatwaves are #1.

OODA Loop reminder: you need to constantly re-evaluate the situation and READJUST your assessment of a situation to fit; if you make a decision at one point in time, that is not a "philosophy" but a decision point at that point in time.

ai6yr,

@meltedcheese Prevalance of infection in the community, wastewater levels, the variants circulating. Your own choices may be different, obviously. But if you feel like I should not be able to make my own assessment, that is a problem...

ai6yr,

**For example, at one point, 100% masking, N95 outdoors in a crowd was the RIGHT THING to do. Today? Depends on your personal situation/vulnerability, vaccination status, prior exposure, etc.--and people should be educated enough to make their choice: yes, crowd okay? Do I need to mask? Do I not need to mask? You adjust as the circumstances change. Next week? It may change again!

ai6yr,

** I only mention this after being berated by someone (now blocked) for DARING TO MENTION an outdoor event 🙄

ai6yr,

** my current stance (which is conservative) is: no masking outdoors, included in crowds; no masking in good air flow stores <10 people and low likelihood of sick people; yes, N95 masking in large stores and in small spaces, and in particular doctor's offices/hospitals/etc.

New York Times: ‘New Territory’ for Americans: Deadly Heat in the Workplace

"In the coming months, this team of roughly 30 people at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is expected to propose a new rule that would require employers to protect an estimated 50 million people exposed to high temperatures while they work. They include farm laborers and construction workers, but also people who sort packages in warehouses, clean airplane cabins and cook in commercial kitchens. "

ai6yr,

"it is expected to meet stiff resistance from some business and industry groups, which oppose regulations that would, in some cases, require more breaks and access to water, shade and air-conditioning.

But even if the rule takes effect, experts say, the government’s emergency response system is poorly suited to meet the urgency of the moment....

Last year was the hottest in recorded history, and researchers are expecting another record-breaking summer, with temperatures already rising sharply across the Sun Belt...

The surge in deaths from heat is now the greatest threat to human health posed by climate change"

@CavedaleRhones Once I get it up and running, it will update anytime there is a new or updated perimeter map issued by NIFC

@BakerRL75 Not running live yet, just playing with it.

ai6yr,

@mappingsupport Yep, snagging from ARCGIS as I can pull the latest new data... but yes, FTP could have more recent data (but not as easy to automate).
