I went out into the wood to try to assess what dangerously unstable trees still standing in places where they could cause damage when they fall.
Needless to say, besides the two trees that have already collapsed above the house, there's at least one and possibly two unstable trees hanging over the house.
H'mmm...
#TheJoyOfCrofting

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.

It looks like Hungary has a long road ahead: Orbšn will almost certainly fight the results and try to throw things into chaos, his party’s tentacles still run wide and deep throughout Hungarian institutions, getting Putinism out of the dark corners of power there will be like ending a bedbug infestation, and Orbšn’s likely replacement…um, well, he doesn’t seem like the greatest guy on earth.

New report confirms 2025 among Hawai'i's driest, warmest on record
In 2025, Hawaiʻi experienced its second-driest year in more than a century, alongside persistently above-average temperatures throughout the year—a stark reality detailed in the inaugural Hawai'i Annual Climate Report 2025. Published by the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant College Program, this first-of-its-kind report uses plain language, along with easy-to-interpret maps and figures, to summarize statewide rainfall, temperature, and drought conditions over the past year.

Tech jobs are highly cyclical and lots of the gen AI stuff is ridiculously overhyped, and I’m hopeful that the wheel will keep turning and the professional prospects of software developers will improve again…assuming human civilization survives, that is.
But what I said above applies regardless. We should all be doing this meaning-making work all the time, even in the best job markets. In fact, that work is a part of •making• human civilization survive.

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...

"According to Coindesk, the average cost to mine one Bitcoin is currently around $87,000 — far higher than its current going rate, making it an extremely unprofitable proposition."

Crude oil sells above $100 a barrel as Iran war impedes production
Oil prices have jumped past $100 a barrel as the Iran war disrupts oil production and shipping in the Middle East. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, was at $107.97 shortly after trading resumed Sunday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. That's 16.5% higher than the international benchmark's Friday closing price of $92.69. The light crude oil produced in the United States sold for about $106.22 a barrel, or 16.9% more.

Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping the global mean surface temperature (GMST) at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial age (1850-1900) levels. Currently, the GMST is at 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C but is projected to reach 3 degrees C with the current direction of climate change. The findings are detailed in a…
