Just had another substantial tree come down in the wood, quite suddenly and with a huge bang, as I was splitting firewood for this evening's cooking. Fortunately I was nowhere near it, but I'm a bit shaken.
The wind isn't even that strong.

A tree down in the wood. I'm not certain that this is the one that just fell, but to be perfectly honest I'm not too keen to go into that part of the wood just now to check! The tree is spruce, about 25-30 metres tall; it lies across the chaotic partly— cleared area where about 2,000 trees came down in November 2021, where young willows, alder and oak are beginning to recover.

“Well, Parts of Linguistics Is Open…”: Insights into Linguists’ Diverse Understandings of Open Science
Broadly defined as the study of language, linguistics is a diverse field spanning many disciplines. Recent studies on the prevalence of Questionable Research Practices (QRPs) in linguistics (e.g. Isbell et al. 2022) suggest that it suffers from many of the same issues that triggered the replication crisis in psychology (see e.g. Sönning and Werner 2021). While surveys have indicated that linguists are generally in favour of Open Science/Scholarship (OS), there appears to be a “a misalignmen…

Turning an old Amazon Kindle into a eink development platform
I fancied getting an eink screen to use for future projects. I bought a wee one with a raspberry pi “hat” attached. However, I realised later that I could maybe just re-purpose an old A…

(2021) MOT: Minne muovijätteesi oikeasti menevät? #ympäristö #muovi

Minne muovijätteesi oikeasti menevät? | MOT
Suomalaiset keräävät innokkaasti muovijätettä kierrätystä varten. MOT:n selvitys kuitenkin paljastaa, että pääosa kotien erilliskerätystä muovista meni kierrätyksen sijaan polttoon.

Le oui pour l’imposition individuelle a chuté de 24 Š 8 entre le premier et deuxième sondage GfS. Le projet risque de suivre le même sort que la loi CO2 en 2021 et d’être refusé Š l’urne. Tous les partis qui sont pour le projet doivent revenir vers leurs partisans.
Le Centre spécule avec le non pour mettre en avant leur solution avec les impôts Š option. Mais c’est un jeu Š haut risque: leur initiative coûterait tellement cher qu’elle n’arrivera pas Š réunir une majorité. #chvote

"China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026"

China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026
China’s PV industry expects 238 GW to 287 GW of domestic capacity additions in 2026 as it pivots away from volume-led growth after a loss-making year driven by overcapacity and sharp price declines. The shift follows rapid expansion in 2021-25 that lifted cumulative capacity above 1.2 TW, annual additions beyond 300 GW and exports over $180 billion.
