67,000 homes in Ireland still use peat for heating. However, Bord Na Mona stopped extracting peat last year and closed its last peat power station. Now restoring peatlands which in a dried out, denatured state are carbon emitters. Big wind farms now on former extraction sites too. A great deal of historical damage has been done.

Gotta drive 50km with my own car (and fuel) in my (would have been) free time because one of my colleagues used an insurance form in the truck but never replaced it.
So when I needed one (hit a wall at a customer while backing truck into the tight ass space without mirrors - sun kept blinding me), there was none so I now have to go back there to get the paperwork sorted...
Lovely...

Classical algorithm inspired by the feedback-based algorithm for quantum optimization and local counterdiabatic driving
We propose a quantum-inspired classical algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems, named the counterdiabaticity-assisted classical algorithm for optimization (CACAO). In this algorithm, a solution of a given combinatorial optimization problem is heuristically searched with classical spin dynamics based on quantum Lyapunov control of local counterdiabatic driving. We compare the performance of CACAO with that of quantum time-evolution algorithms, i.e., quantum annealing, the feedback-bas…

“Under a 287(g) task force model, such as the agreement being pursued by the University of Florida, participating officers would have the authority to interrogate “any alien or person believed to be an alien” about their right to remain in the country, as well as the power to make arrests without a warrant in some cases.”

Imagine being asked to learn while you can be stopped and interrogated just walking between classes because a campus police officer believes you might not be a US citizen.
