Kennt sich jemand mit den Hybriden der #Volkswagen -Gruppe aus? Mein Nachbar lud nach 2 km Fahrt von seiner Wohnung die 19 kWh Batterie mit gemittelt 30 kW auf (0-80%). Dann fuhr er ein paar Tage später über eine Stunde lang mit Fahrzeug fast nur mit Benzin, lud wieder an einem #HPC und startete mi…

Typhoons vacuum microplastics from ocean and deposit them on land, study finds
Tropical storms such as typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are Earth's most powerful weather systems. Born over warm oceans, they travel thousands of kilometers to land, traversing waters now polluted with plastics, from coastal runoff to the vast oceanic garbage patches.

After Ruining a Treasured Water Resource, Iran Is Drying Up
Iran is looking to relocate the nation’s capital because of severe water shortages that make Tehran unsustainable. Experts say the crisis was caused by years of ill-conceived dam projects and overpumping that destroyed a centuries-old system for tapping underground reserves. 

The last few Christmases, I've idly daydreamed about setting up a siphon to make it easier to water the tree. This year I finally did it, and I love it.
I have a small bucket tucked under a branch between the tree and the wall with a flexible piece of clear tubing running into the tree stand. Now instead of awkwardly laying down and filling the stand, I can just pour water into the bucket, up to the fill line I drew with a sharpie.

It may not look like much from Google maps' satellite view, but it is rather nice. The wildflowers are not yet in mass bloom, but there are still a lot of 'em.
And the weather is nice - I'm typing this among palms next to a pool.

Home batteries are quietly becoming a game-changer for grid stability. As installations surge, utilities are tapping residential storage to manage peak demand during extreme weather—deferring costly upgrades while boosting resilience.
The key to scaling? Treat it like market development, not just tech deployment. Simple enrollment, risk-sharing models, and coordinated action between utilities and manufacturers can unlock massive participation.

Programmatic alignment is key to scaling residential battery demand response
Utilities, battery manufacturers, technology providers and customers all operate under different incentive structures, writes Uplight’s Sneha Vasudevan.

An Honest Review of Go (from a Rust developer)
> I like Go’s condensed syntax when it comes to ergonomics. It’s way simpler to write type annotations without the colon or other characters and it saves typing time.
> I also like using uppercase and lowercase letters for visibility
