I like a lot of Imagine Dragons’ songs and if I were to recommend one of them, “Wrecked” from 2021 would be the one. This song is very emotional yet demonstrates the band’s versatile musical chops, with the song transitioning from acoustic verses to the rock chorus and the choral-like falsetto vocals of the pre-chorus and outro.

Gelesen habe ich Harry August (2014/lit fic mystery), Notes from the Burning Age (2021/dystopia/clifi) und Slow Gods (2025/~space opera).

New study finds clear‑cut logging can dramatically increase flood risk
In the past 30 years, floods have affected more than 2.8 billion people worldwide and caused more than 500,000 deaths. In Canada, flooding has caused significant damage and disruption to communities across the country. The 2021 floods in British Columbia's Fraser Valley cost an estimated $14 billion in damages.

Was tatsächlich geschah: Die Vermutung wurde geprüft. Metaanalyse in Human Reproduction – 21 Studien, 149.685 Frauen, kein erhöhtes Fehlgeburtsrisiko (RR 1,07; KI 0,89–1,28).

Trump accounts at Capital One were closed in 2021 over money laundering concerns
Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering. The bank disclosed this in a court filing over the weekend. Trump has sued Capital One, alleging the closures were politically motivated following the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks. Capital One seeks to dismiss the lawsuit, stating the closures followed months of analysis by its anti-money laundering team. Trump has also sued JPMorgan Chase, claiming similar political m…

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.
I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.

The 'everyone dies' event comes home
On 23^rd June, the Meteorological Office published a [blog post](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/uk-could-see-45c-by-2056-scientists-reflect-on-1976-heatwave-anniversary) in which they claimed that 'UK could see 45°C by 2056'. As you'll know, I've blogged before of the issue of [excessive heat events](https://www.journeyman.cc/blog/posts-output/2021-11-15-the-everyone-dies-event-class/) in our changing climate. So the fact that they projected temperatures above 35° Celsius wi…

New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.

Estimated Demand for Mega-Constellation Internet Service
Akhil Rao
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.08851 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.08851 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.08851
arXiv:2608.08851v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The near-term growth of the commercial space economy and sustainability of the low-Earth orbit (LEO) environment depends on the commercial prospects of large LEO satellite telecommunications constellations (``mega-constellations''). If successful, mega-constellations can spur competition between launch providers, which may lead to lower launch prices. They may also demand orbital sustainability services and/or generate additional collision risk, which may in turn affect space sustainability interests. Consumer demand for mega-constellations' internet services is critical to their commercial success. This analysis presents a method to estimate consumer demand for mega-constellations' internet services, using SpaceX's Starlink over December 2021--November 2023 as an example. This analysis finds that Starlink users are highly concentrated in the wealthiest countries. It also finds that consumer demand for Starlink is growing more slowly than orbital capacity is being added and more slowly than demand for non-Starlink internet overall. Continuation of these trends may indicate that the market for mega-constellation internet is less lucrative than previous forecasts have indicated.

in all the #pandemicpond and #poolproject shenanigans since 2021, there has been one tool that has played a massive role in making it both possible, and fun.
This utility trailer is the best car-thing I have ever bought!
Is the Kona EV rated for towing. No.
Did putting a trailer hitch on void the warranty? Not officially 😝 and its well past now.
This thing has been so damn handy! From cross country camping trips to hauling 400kg of rocks, it's done it all!
New toy rented today! Welcome Tony the Trencher Machine to the party!
(I rented the metal ramps too.
theyre not cheap to buy)
