Am I understanding this correctly? Israel blow her to bits and now they are furious that the Gazans can’t find the right bits to give back?

Much much much much larger objects have hit the moon in the past

Russians are always going on about how they are Europeans…

Anyway, let’s see.

Both are full so it reduces the amount of cold air that can escape when you open them.

/em when you didn’t read the book

The data centers made it not rain for six months?

Tug of war was banned from the Olympics because it’s pretty dangerous (not against elephants, it was humans against humans).

He wanted a billion dollars but apparently 75 million is almost as good. Art of the deal.

Yeah, that’s the whole joke.

At least this one is on the coast so it can still run when the rivers dry up.

But holy shitsnacks 3½ times slower than planned and 4 times more expensive. No wonder no new nuclear power plants have been built in a generation when the ones coming online now were all delayed by a generation.

🤷 for some reason hybrids did really well in Europe this year. Probably because some countries have really shit charging infrastructure but people still want to emit less carbon.

The hybrids are bad though unless you live in a house and charge them at home. They don’t have the hundreds of kW charging potential and if you charge them at work you often have to go move them during the day because you aren’t allowed to leave them in the spot with the charger all day. Contrast this with an all electric vehicle that you can charge 200 km in five minutes at a gas tank.

Didn’t an American join the Russian army and then they beat him up, accusing him of being a spy? Can’t even remember whether they killed him.

Well, they were assassinating people in Europe before 2022. What makes Europe think Russia gives a damn about laws or basically anything?

If you are crashing on someone’s couch then you are housed but still homeless. It’s a bit of a dilution of the usual meaning of homeless but it also emphasises that housing is very precarious for the homeless.

Netflix too.

The Guardian also has an excellent article today on companies like Nestlé and Danone emptying out aquifers.

Lake Baikal is out by Mongolia and the majority of Russians live in the west of the country.

It’s a big lake but a bigger country. I don’t think Russia will be the first to have big water issues. Rather, I would look to Mexico City, Panama, Arizona, Nevada, California.
