Everytime you are in a meeting that could have been an email, remember that there are police raids that could be solved by looking at Google maps for 30sec.

You are assuming the Sheriff acted totally normal just before abusing their power.

Metric units aka SI units aka sanity

They have those at airports.

What do you do with your used telephone booths?

Beef broth

It may depend on what man mean by ‘most hearty’. Aren’t all soups hearty?

UV proof t-shirt for midday swimming

Like a swimsuit but covers shoulders and arms. If you get sunburned easily, this can save your skin. Sunscreen works, but it’s not perfect in the water. Most people don’t use one, but then most people have unhealthy bright red sunburns

I believe, this is because it’s not yet a business model (nor a legal requirement). The first questions is, who even owns the lot and who has to power to make changes? Then, who gets to use the power output? Do you use it on-site or feed to grid? Do the local utility work with you or against you? (Hint: You are competitors now and running a grid is not free.)

That’s just speculation, why solar-covered parking lots are not yet build much. The idea totally makes sense. It will probably take a either a startup company that figures out how and sells the solutions to the owners or a local government pushing for more solar.

To those saying, it’s cheaper to build on a roof. Maybe, then do the roof, first, if it’s feasible. Is it cheaper to build on undeveloped land or farm land? Maybe, if you live in the middle of nowhere or drive a significant distance to do your shopping. Still, plenty of opportunity to build over parking lots.

My mind: What kind of strike or labour protest causes bystanders to loose a limb. What’s wrong with Isreali strikes?

Of fuck, that kind of strike.

This was expected. When solar panels were expensive, you had to optimize for output. When you get the same rate for any kWh, you optimize for output. Now that PV is cheap as fuck, of course, there’s going to overproduction.

Now the dynamic will change. Instead of facing south, it becomes attractive to orient east/west. This generates more output on mornings or evenings. As a next step, you add batteries to the mix. Yes, they said they were expensive, need rare materials, and yadda yadda; except with lower prices every month, solar batteries are thing now.

Also “overproduction” is relative. Most of our heating and transport is fossil. There’s a long way to go.

vi, gcc, and LaTeX

Let them learn the hard way.

“What if she was gone?”

Not a native speaker. That’s what I was taught. Subjunctive wasn’t a thing in my English lessons. Common phrases like “I wish I were you…” were introduced as a non-standard alternative…

“This is key” (in business speak)

dialects

French?

VOR

Thinking about it: This can also be manipulated by an enemy on the ground…

unless it has some inertial navigating system or something.

Don’t all commercial planes have this?

My cat lectures me.

I needed a second to remember whether this building has an elevator. Never used it.

Many smaller apartment buildings have no elevator. Above 4 floors that’s certainly annoying, but not unheard of.

So, yes, I don’t mind it. Never buy more than what fits in a bagpack plus one shopping bag. Easy if you don’t have a car and all supermarkets you go to are in walking distance.

See, that’s why I can’t dress nice. I’m not lazy; this is an organized protest to better mankind.

This is heaven. It’s like a looser hotline for business. No one gets my mobile number. Let them call the front office. And it happens I’m always in a meeting or on a business trip.
