UK may be on verge of triggering a ‘positive tipping point’ for tackling climate change
Electric vehicle sales are racing ahead in the UK – but the switch to heat pumps is lagging behind.

A while back I discovered that ttyper (a typing test program for the terminal) can use a custom wordlist. I decided to create one entirely out of words I always misspell. I don't think my WPM will ever recover TT

I asked this Monchhichi what they thought of the recent news, but they refused to comment.

Tvmaze includes commercials in an episode runtime and that feels WILD.

X-ray spectroscopy method of white dwarf mass determination in intermediate polars. External systematic uncertainties
The masses of white dwarfs (WDs) in intermediate polars (IPs) can be determined from the shape of their hard X-ray spectra. Here we study the importance of all possible systematic uncertainties in this X-ray spectroscopy method, including finite radii and rotation of magnetospheres, finite accretion column height and accretion-flow inclination relative to the WD surface. We also investigate the importance of accretion-heated envelopes on WD surfaces in IPs which are increasing WD radii. Their p…

Efter 50 år på den här planeten är jag förvånad över att människan fortfarande inte verkar vilja dela den med någon annan art. Vi trycker undan djur och växter alltmer, många av dem till den grad att de utrotas helt. En del göms undan i industrier där vi utvinner "nytta" och "produkter" – men utan att beblanda oss med dem. Bina får allt svårare att pollinera, korna får inte beta på sina ängar, renarna tvingas gå andra vägar när vi spränger hål i berget.
Är det verkli…

Austria: you take a random bus to the outskirts of a medium-size city. You immediately see some signposted walking paths. You follow them. No fences. No fly-tipping.
Compare to Italy: All agricultural land is fenced off. Very few public footpaths, except in national parks and in very mountainous areas. Random piles of garbage here and there close to roads.
Sorry.
