@cdarwin@c.imThe Olympics made viral stars out of Paul and Gary O’Donovan in 2016, the rowing brothers from Ireland best known for their colourful post-race assessments,
and again in 2024 with Yusuf Dikec, the shooter from Turkey who pitched up in Paris for the Olympics with no equipment beyond his pistol.
That both of those stories ended with a silver medal, rather than gold, was lost in the fun.

@cdarwin@c.im2024:
Turkey’s Yusuf Dikeç didn’t need special gear to win a silver medal for Olympic shooting,
and viewers couldn’t get enough of his understated brilliance.
The Turkish shooter took part in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team competition on Wednesday in a T-shirt
and what looked like regular reading glasses,
a contrast from other competitors who utilized specific lenses or bulky ear protectors.

most shooters do it with one.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeGot my power bill for May. Net consumption was 2.73 MWh, an all-time low by a signficant margin (3.3 MWh in April 2026, and 3.77 MWh in July 2024, are the previous records).
The final bill after taxes and fees was $595, not *quite* an all time low (I paid $582 in July 2024) but that was for 3.7 MWh and I'm now paying almost as much for 2.7 - yay rate increases. If I can generate a touch more solar in June I might break the all-time low though.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialGee, I guess to this judge, being dead is not a valid excuse to not appear at a hearing.
This judge is a Obama appointee - but she worked a Peoplesoft, a company that in my opinion seemed to follow a silicon valley tradition of management-by-brutality. (Peoplesoft was acquired by Oracle, a company run by Larry Ellison - an organization and person with an "interesting" way of dealing with the world and people.)

Too bad it's also an all-time *high* for price per kWh - the effective price per kWh after taxes and fees hit 21.7 cents, a 15.4% increase since the start of the year…
