Never forgot how completely fucking cartoonish the entire Adams administration was.
And that our current NY City Council just stood by and watched the whole thing without doing much more than sternly-worded letters.
And Governor Hochul, when given the opportunity, decided *not* to remove Adams from office.

såg ofta butterfly på lekplatserna när jag var föräldraledig, lite för ofta skulle jag säga, extremt ofta, deras ekonomiska strategi verkar vara att använda kommunens offentliga lekplatser som avlastningsyta för att slippa betala för egna lokaler, vilket tär på våra gemensamma resurser, glad att de inte får nytt tillstånd www.mitti.se/nyheter/nej-till-privat-forskola-i-ragsved-6.3.325639.9606f7a3e2

I watched E.T. (1982) recently. I remember seeing it as a kid but couldn't remember much except "phone home". I didn't like the child actors to be honest but the rubber puppet worked so well when it was lying on its "death bed" 😭
Surprised by the swear words they used though. Shit, dick....🫢 I wanted to see what the neighbourhood looks like today as it was a newly built suburbia in 1982. Turns out, somebody already did the research!

Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

Uniformly High Order Discontinuous Galerkin Gas Kinetic Scheme for Compressible flows

Uniformly High Order Discontinuous Galerkin Gas Kinetic Scheme for Compressible flows
In this paper, a uniformly high-order discontinuous Galerkin gas kinetic scheme (DG-HGKS) is proposed to solve the Euler equations of compressible flows. The new scheme is an extension of the one-stage compact and efficient high-order GKS (CEHGKS, Li et al. , 2021. J. Comput. Phys. 447, 110661) in the finite volume framework. The main ideas of the new scheme consist of two parts. Firstly, starting from a fully discrete DG formulation, the numerical fluxes and volume integrals are expanded in ti…

Good Morning #Canada
I've been a bachelor since Thursday as my wife is in Toronto helping my daughter with her latest chemo session. She's back late Monday when life, for me, returns to normal. According to #StatsCan, being married at our age (late 60s) is the most prevalent relationship. But Canadians in younger age brackets are more likely these days to be living common-law and getting married later in life, if at all. Canada has one of the highest rates of common-law relationships worldwide and the highest in the G7. Between 1981 and 2021, common-law couples increased 447% while the number of married couples grew by only 26%. Common-law unions are most prevalent in Nunavut (52%), Quebec (43%), and the Northwest Territories (36%). It's no surprise that more than half of Canadians believe that marriage is not necessary, and even less surprising that this opinion is stronger with young men versus young women.
