#Solarenergie #Balkonkraftwerk #Energiewende

Auf einem Balkon sind zwei Solarmodule schräg montiert, um Sonnenlicht optimal einzufangen. Die Module stehen auf stabilen Metallgestellen und sind Teil einer kleinen Photovoltaikanlage. Auf dem Balkon darüber blühen orangefarbene Geranien in Blumenkästen. Die Umgebung ist Teil eines modernen, hellen Wohngebäudes mit weißen Wänden und einem Fenster mit geschlossener Gardine.

I guess I should add that Firebase’s security model is still broken in the sense of being dangerously easy to mess up (despite its maintainers’ heroic efforts), that this is a problem that’s fundamentally baked into it the product’s whole value proposition of eliminating huge swaths of server-side development and is thus not readily solvable, and that these ongoing Firebase breaches are a classic case study in how far and how stubbornly the effects of abstraction choices can reach.

Six months into his second term,
Donald Trump’s job approval rating has dipped to 37%,
the lowest of this term and just slightly higher than his all-time worst rating of 34% at the end of his first term.
Trump’s rating has fallen 10 percentage points among U.S. adults since he began his second term in January,
including a 17-point decline among independents, to 29%,
matching his lowest rating with that group in either of his terms.

I’ve generally disliked South Park — not because it is rude and raunchy, but because it made it seem like being a cynical asshole is somehow brave and countercultural. It made the case that it’s OK to be carelessly hurtful as long as you hurt •everyone•. It tried to make a virtue out of disaffection. Its compulsion never to be caught actually •caring• about anything or anyone robbed it of its capacity to have insights or a moral center. It flirted with satire, but always ended up just being trolling.
But who knows? It feels like trolling the fascists might be what we need right now. Maybe the show finally has its moment.

There’s more: the e-bike means I’m not planning to replace my venerable old car when it finally dies; we’ll become a one-car family.
AFAICT from my research, this is even more important for climate / pollution concerns than the mileage. Just the sunk carbon emissions cost of manufacturing any new car, EV or otherwise, is roughly equivalent to another ~10 years of driving the venerable old gas-powered Civic. 10 years!
If you’re going to be buying a car, buying an EV is better. But unless you’re putting massive mileage on it, there’s a pretty good chance that not buying •any• new car ever — just running the existing one into the ground and shifting primary transportation mode — is the even better choice.

Eminently true for this new (almost one year!) e-bike owner!
In its first year, I’m on track to put ~2200 miles on the e-bike — and <1000 miles on the car. (In previous years, car mileage was ~3000-5000 mi/year.)
And per the study, I can say with confidence that I’m doing a whole lot of things on the e-bike that I would certainly have done on the car in the past: commuting, school transportation, groceries and errands — all theoretically bikable before, but mostly car-based in practice. Until now.
