  1. The Democrats won't stop Trump. A military coup could stop him, not saving democracy but replacing Trump's brand of fascism with a different one. That's the kind of scenario all you Americans out there should brace yourselves for. Similar things could happen to Putin when the war against Ukraine keeps dragging on like this.
    Meanwhile, a profound crisis of the global economy is quite inevitable by now, with all those raw materials that haven't been delivered and all those industries that haven't been producing goods due to the lack of raw materials for months due to that Hormuz thing, you know.
    At the same time, absolutely insane sums of money have been invested in anything that's connected with machine learning and automated problem solving, commonly known as "artificial intelligence". A lot of it is actually quite useful, many applications are also quite resource efficient, yet the biggest sums have been sunk into LLMs--Large Language Models, which are an impressive result of AI research, yet their training consumes so many resources, and the most popular models are comically huge so they only run on machines that cost more than a car. Those LLMs aren't very good at solving real tasks, but if they were significantly cheaper than human workers, the poor quality of their output might still be good enough for commercial industrial use. However, running LLMs at the current scale is so inefficient and expensive that it costs much, much more than employing actual human workers. The AI companies are basically giving their services away for peanuts while burning money. When the bubble pops, it will cause a major crisis of the world economy even without that Hormuz thing.
    And then there's that football thing (or soccer for the Americunts), a world cup spread out over three countries, one of which is being rebuilt into a fascist dictatorship by a bunch of homocidally insane horror clowns, while the world is running low on jet fuel. What could go wrong?
    Germany is being taken over by the Nazis again, only this time, they call themselves AfD because they're alt-right now. It's not as bad in the federal states that make up the old West (yet), but in the East, it doesn't seem like anybody can stop them.
    Oh, and there's all the environmental destruction that's still going on. The Pacific is switching back to El Niño, so this year is going to be HOT.

    Brace yourselves. Summer is coming.

  2. #realraum outdoor party, game on!

    Oh, wait... There is still stuff that needs fixing 😅

    Well that's what we live for 🛠️😁

  3. @DerEntspannende Das ist mir klar, daher ja die Betonung auf ähnlich. Fraunhofer hat noch was beigemischt an Daten.

    Wen das eine interessiert, könnte auch das andere Interessieren. Der EPEX Spot preis, der maßgeblich für dynamische Strompreise ist, wird auch anhand der EEX Prognose festgelegt.

    Interessant ist eben in gewissen Aspekten eine Korrelation zu sehen, da sich daran eben auch beobachten lässt, wie der Preis durch die zur Verfügung stehende Energie beeinflusst wird.

  4. I can't help noticing stores are putting their winter clothing on clearance. This can only be a good thing. #summeriscoming

  5. Another week almost done and we're looking forward to a Mexican celebration this weekend with #DaliaCocina returning to help us say goodbye to March and welcome in some more Spring weather 🤞 We get to try out our new outdoor lighting and umbrellas this weekend too!

    They'll be with us for our big reopening night at #WindmillHillCityFarm next Friday too, so if you miss out on a burrito or tacos this weekend, pop down to Bedminster on the 4th and check out our new Summer digs!

  6. Out to spade up the soon-to-be-installed native plant garden

    Okay, it’s only four flower plants but it’s a good start

  7. A balmy 30ºF (- 1.11ºC) and windy here in southern #Maine. I honestly miss having a real winter, so I'm enjoying the cold, snowy weather -- because #SummerIsComing (and that's scary AF)!

  8. There's something about finally seeing the sun fully rise before you get to work that warms the soul.

  9. 26° inside with the front door open, time to switch the DVS to Summer mode I think.

  10. COP29, día 3. Ronaldinho ha pasado por allí. Ha habido manifestaciones con el eslogan "stop fueling genocide", valga el juego de palabras. Cero avance, poca sorpresa.

    En China, la ciudad de Guangzhou confirma que sus veranos ya duran 235 días, climatológicamente hablando.

    La UE aprovecha las fechas para retrasar una ley contra la deforestación. Ahí apostando fuerte por los objetivos climáticos.

  11. In other news, boxed, new season Australian cherries spotted in the greengrocer today, at the outrageous new season price. #SummerIsComing

  12. You won't realise how much of a dull nerd you are until you get a modern solar system & app. I just updated, and find myself spending much of the day in the app, calculating trends, watching spikes, cursing clouds. I chose microinverters, which means I can get panel level data. Sadly only cumulative totals, not live production, dammit! 😂

    My best panel (440W) produced 2.84kWh today, the worst 2.37, average 2.53

  13. Pues ya hay datos y poca sorpresa, la tendencia se mantiene. El verano boreal de 2024 ha sido el más cálido desde que hay registros. La región mediterránea está entre los niveles más secos y los polos en los niveles más bajos de hielo.
