Man versucht offenbar, Deutschland zu mehr Resilienz zu bewegen. Auch gut.

Sure looks more like AI hallucination making shit up than a real medical application.

This is what clean air gets you. www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/media/5646/d... If you're fine with science saying that coal (and other) pollution reduces solar power, you'll either have to admit that it reduces temperatures as well, or you hate physics. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2026-05...

Science denial strikes again. These people are incapable of discussing the facts of just how bad pollution was and how big the influence on temperatures is.

And this clearly tells us, that this is not global warming. It's the lack of aerosol emissions, reduced cloud cover and more sunshine increasing temperatures. England finally has the good weather back that it used to have (and it was much warmer 130,000 years ago) and all people can do is complain.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is basically printing his own money, by inventing fantasy-valuations for his own company, forcing Nasdaq index-funds to buy its shares and using the worthless shares to take over other companies, pay off debt, get more credit and do whatever the hell he wants.

Number of hours of negative electricity prices is dropping fast across Europe • Data highlight growing rollout of batteries, with Germany, Italy and UK leading the way • Europe’s installed battery capacity has risen by 33,000MWh in 2025, to about 90,000MWh www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Very serious reinforcements have arrived in Russia. Fuel shortages are definitely a thing of the past now.

And unfortunately, we'll still have need for a lot of rubbish energy supply in the future. It would be nice if, instead of demonizing the problem, we'd try to maximize the use of non-rubbish energy supply and then see what's left and what we might do about it, without calling people names for it.

You will see me post about LNG a lot, you may even think I'm a 'fossil guy' as I talk about its importance, but I totally endorse this message. It's also why LNG can never substantially lower global gas price. Too much energy spent and too much energy lost.

“.. I find it interesting when I hear that AI is deflationary/disinflationary. If you look at something like CPI software, the price level has been in a deflationary trend for decades. Yet over the past 6 months, it has clearly broken out and increased at a 59% annualized pace.” - Schwab

That's about half of Russias production capacity of Iskander missles. And interception isn't perfect either. Ukraine definitely needs more imports from other countries (and of other missiles) than that - and at lower cost too. Hopefully Ukraine's planned FP-7 interceptors will work.

I get the feeling that this field will be dominated by Ukrainian companies, once the war is over. This doesn't look like a pragmatic design that is simply supposed to work. People with experience in military hardware for immediate adaptation will have a very different mindset and price point.

Seriously disappointed by that paper, because it doesn't mention that these cells are several years old and technologically seriously outdated compared to current cells by the manufacturer.

When people wonder why Trump lost his war against Iran so quickly and completely, you only need to remember that he is the same person who called Putin a “strategic genius” and tried to bully Ukraine by saying it had “no cards”. Simple really.

Whenever I go to the US, as I did last week, I can't get past the army of destitute, homeless people who parade through - and then bed down in - every city. There is a scale of human misery, degradation and severe mental illness unlike anything I've ever seen in Europe. Then there's the guns ...

This will be the Novosibirsk-drone. Which would make it pretty clear that they can't hide in Siberia either.

There may have been a few remaining glaciers left in Canada when the Pyramids were build in Egypt, or at least it hadn't been more than a couple centuries since the last ones had melted. So, what extend of ice-cover is "normal"?

What nobody noticed: SpaceX peaked in market share in number of launches in 2024. Hence the pivot to mass delivered into orbit. In 2026, the number of SpaceX launches will decline for the first time since 2019, when they had caught up with their backlog of GEO satellites.

We've been lied to. Propaganda has been well and alive in the West throughout all of the time after WWII. And one of the most important things to keep is mind at all times is probably this: The American Dream is an American Nightmare.

It's like He Man creator Roger Sweet, but way worse. Tell me how being part of the creation of something loved the world over that made Someone Else™ a billion dollars but lets the talent literally die is redeemable. How can you redeem this.

I really wished that at least Nature would know that what is happening there is not hallucination, but confabulation. Yes. I will die on this hill.

And *nothing* is more authoritarian in the western world these days than large companies. The stereotypical "boss", and a significant fraction of that is real, would be called a dictator or a tyrant if they were controlling a country rather than a company. And all this applies there as well:

Basically, China consumed less fuel, exported less fuel, didn't put more oil into its stockpile, released oil from its stockpile, started making plastic from ethane instead of (oil-derived) naphta and produced much less plastic. This accounted for over 4 million barrels per day less oil consumption.

With regular bombardment by precision drone strikes, even railways can be disabled, despite their reputation from previous wars, that they are easy to repair and often not worth the trouble bombing them. It helps with keeping them down if they are on bridges though.

this is absolutely insane. *SPACEX RATED Baa1 BY MOODY'S: INVESTMENT GRADE

Day 1576 of my 3 day war. Russian oil production is booming.... I remain a master strategist.

“The stock market is just gambling.” “No, it’s not. It’s imperfect, but it’s underpinned by fundamentals like growth, barriers to entry, cash flows, brand value and P/E ratios.” [points at stock market] “Yeah, but…it’s just gambling”

Moscow is now a mid-range target and FP-1 can reach all the way to Omsk. Adding 500 km or so would put Novosibirsk into range, but Irkutsk would take another 2000 km. Still, it covers most of Russia, over 100 million people.

It's weird that people are talking about attacks with a few hundred drones each carrying a bomb load of usually 100kg or less, as if those were big attacks. This is what a single attack on Cologne in WWII looked like. Each bomber carried about 2,000 - 8,000 kg of bombs, depending on type.

The previous treaty signed at Versailles set the stage for a larger and even more destructive war

Imagine the Irish flying daily Zeppelin raids on London in 1921 and it gives a sense of how topsy turvy this all is historically.

It's not a "war of choice" - you send people and machines to the other end of the world to cause death and destruction in a country, that has not done anything to harm you and you didn't use all available means to stop that from happening. That is why America has ended.

Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.

It's absolutely hilarious that people talk so much about malfunctioning misaligned neural networks with insufficient guardrails these days, yet nobody talks about cutting those malfunctioning neural networks off from important social functions. Weird.

Und #Trump ist so stolz darauf, einen für die USA nachteiligen Frieden in #Versailles unterschrieben zu haben. Weil er einfach nicht kapiert, wie historisch aufgeladen dieser Ort ist, Trump denkt nur an das Schloss mit all der güldenen Pracht. Irre. #Irankrieg

Hmm. Dreimal dürft ihr raten, wer aus Deutschland auf der 200-köpfigen Mitgliederliste in diesem illustren Geheimclub von Peter Thiel ist: Der Fraktionsvorsitzende der Union Jens Spahn! "agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III." Leak von @wired.com 🔒

Given Elon Musks well established inability to separate science fact from science fiction, we'll see a lot of crazy companies failing once this thing pops.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

We should work to make sure nobody needs to call this "technically correct" - because it actually is correct and most people just don't know it.

Got banned from reddit because I said the oil people are going to be upset at Trump allowing Iran to sell oil now, lowering costs, and that maybe right wingers will now start to support Ukraine bombing Russian oil assets now... Well, time to make a new account...again.

Wow - gas generation in California Jan-May 2026 was down 60% from its level in the same period of 2024, due to solar, batteries, imports from hydro and wind plants. This was despite a 7% increase in power demand. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...
