Yesterday, electricity for 13:30-13:45 was trading at zero. Looks unbelievable given the light fog we’re in right now. In March. In Northern Europe

One day I saw in an American grocery store an “Asian family meal”. My mind struggled to tell whether this is an Asian-style meal for a family, or a meal for an Asian family. This problem could have been easily fixed by spelling compounds like in German: “Asian familymeal” or “Asianfamily meal”

Jeez, iPhone keyboard sucks bad for English but is borderline unusable for Russian. It keeps correcting my perfectly correct language. Not even the spelling, straight-up corrects my valid grammar.

Dangers of the reliance on China for renewables are tiny. Batteries serve for 15 years, panels for 25, turbines are European. Even if you are unable to procure anything outside of China, and the Chinese cut you off entirely, you’ll have 92% of the batteries and 96% of the panels 1 year in

No matter what, the spring is coming!

You look at the electricity generation, and the progress seems hopeful. You then look at the overall energy, and man… what are we doing about that small ocean of oil and those huge gas fields?

It is a bit comical that my electricity provider charges me a lower rate in the night even as the cheapest wholesale electricity is in the middle of the day

Labour can't get control, compassion & competence right to defend the principle & practice of asylum if it uses slogans and jibes that Patel and Jenrick were too soft, too open & so has no useful critique of their failure and is reheating a tried and failed 2022-23 policy bsky.app/profile/brit...

EU has similar energy challenges to China, and should pursue similar strategy

The word “dude” should be Anglicised, and thus pronounced as “jude”; in line with the customary pronunciation in Southern England

The singular of cheese is choose.

you wanna put schizo combination of flag emojis in your profile name, but it's 1944 and the internet hasn't been invented yet

Wo ist dieser Yoink-Mensch aus Florida, wenn man ihn braucht?

Pip, in an unparalleled display of bravery, ventured to the door, deemed it far too chilly for a feline adventure, and promptly retreated to the warmth of the rug, asserting that the outside world was merely a myth concocted by the less intelligent canines. #cats #CatsOfBluesky #LazySunday

the language challenge of my life at this point is "anything but English"

beowulf starts with "hwaet!". sometimes i feel like my personal story starts with "blyat!"

Look, two years ago finishing your essay with “This not (just) X. This is Y.” was normal

Een knie blijkt een buitengewoon goed kussentje

Apparently quite a bit of people over there asked this question and failed to find an answer

I accidentally deleted the twitter archive so i no longer have any clue as to what happened there, but iirc i was in a very sour mood on 23rd February 2022. didn't get a ton of work done, read the Putin speech, tweeted "he's gonna fucking do it" didn't get a good night's sleep

I absolutely love the channel by the way. It’s some student (probably) talking about Dutch railways and shit in English

the sexual tension between me and a hypothetical third cup of coffee before 10 am

Hardly an expert in Catholicism, but it seems baffling to see someone to start and finish listing the matters of faith with two sex things

Hand wash only sign on a cotton bag should be illegal

Quiet is such a weirdly spelled word… QUIET

FT keeps employing Janan Ganesh to infuriate me personally

The media is able to name him. The police do not say that he is white British, nor that his late father came from Greece. [Philip had a thirst for knowledge, but Andrew did not inherit this] www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

As per national guidance, the police won't be officially naming this Norfolk man in his sixties arrested over suspicion of misconduct in public office!

Yoon Suk Yeol pardon when?

Holy shit Reform ain’t racist enough for ironu masuku

I wanna be the sort of man who owns a black coat and can poorly speak five or six different languages

Communists believe the Common Man from the Working Class is actually communist, he just doesn’t realise it yet. Nazis believe the Common Man from the Nation is actually Nazi, he just doesn’t realise it yet. Tiring actually

The South has produced some of the best music and food in the entire world, but being proud of this would require one to include all Southerners

Love extrapolating two points

The fun part of using a charger with two outputs is the one where you need to assess whether it’s faster to parallel charge phone and a laptop OR to plug phone into the laptop

Fijne vrijdag de dertiende! Ik begreep dat Norit vandaag heel gevaarlijk is, dus speciaal voor jullie een foto van een zeer gevaarlijke kat:

South African electricity grid seems to make no sense. Despite considerable investment the country produces similar amounts of electricity as it did 30 years ago, and all using similar technology

being free would sure feen nice

Palantir is not currently afraid of “evil genius” PR. They actively seek it out. What scares them is the notion that they’re effectively just an IT contractor in the same business as, say, Capgemini, but with a P/E ratio over 250.

Opening a bold new front in discourse by asking how good British food is in Mexico

Drill tweet that is a dril tweet

Integration exam often has tasks such as "compare these four bikes", at least in the Netherlands

Clearly this is attempt to target black non-Americans. Like I understand the point, they are racist. But also you can already trust on Americans to make everything about themselves

De Zweed doet zijn Nederlandse huiswerk op een andere verdieping wat resulteert in elke minuut iets naar mij schreeuwen over 't Kofschip ahhhhhhhhhhhhh wist je dat anderstaligen 't kofschip leren als "soft ketchup"?

I would sing an ode to the dried pasta if I could. It saved me from ordering delivery more times than I could count
