Took a couple of rest days b/c I could feel my hamstring & feared possible injury. After a consideration of time spent in each HR zone over previous runs, it was clear that I was overdoing the pace, even with 4/1 min run/walk intervals.

What had the Lady Jessica to sustain her in her time of trial? Think you carefully on this Bene Gesserit proverb and perhaps you will see: "Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere.

Ed Zitron offers 15K words on whether Nvidia is like Enron (or several other famous fraudsters) or not. It's amusing and erudite and most people just won't have time to plow through it. Which is a pity, because 80% of the way through there’s a section called:
“Is NVIDIA Shipping Millions Of GPUs And Putting Them In Warehouses? Where Are The 6 Million Shipped Blackwell GPUs?”
His findings are absolutely shocking. Tl;dr: That headline just above.

We’re calling on governments to send ministers to the first-of-its-kind international summit in Colombia this April and turn words into concrete road maps that end fossil fuels for good. Public pressure can move the needle. Let’s make the transition to renewable energy inevitable so that even Trump and the oil lobby can’t save fossil fuels.

ICE documents reveal plan to hold 80,000 immigrants in warehouses
The Trump administration is seeking contractors to help it overhaul the United States’ immigrant detention system
in a plan that includes renovating industrial warehouses to hold more than 80,000 immigrant detainees at a time,
according to a draft solicitation reviewed by The Washington Post.
Rather than shuttling detainees around the country to wherever detention space is available, as happens now, …
I'm wrapping my head around how to capture rebounds in basketball -- this is last Saturday's game of the Big Red women against the Columbia Lions which the Lions won 80-55 in fan-friendly Newman Arena -- next time I am heading back with my Zeiss 55mm/1.8 because I see people shooting basketball successfully with pretty wide lenses

It's a good question about the French public AC charging infrastructure: why? Caught between unreliability and high time-based pricing, who does it serve? Not those who need it, I would say.

While Europe complains and whines that transitions in the way cars are powered are not really possible, or at least not within a generation, and that it is best for Europe to abandon any ambition to lead the way in the global car market, because if you cannot win the race by moving forward, you will at least be the first to return if you crawl backwards, Indonesia is demonstrating an impressive example of an S-curve in
