Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

Here in Germany, it's finally cracked the "middle-aged tinkerer" market. Like, I have seen people walk up to each other on the street and ask about household solar installations. These are the same types of people who have opinions about grout.

The coolest thing about all this is that it finally and decisively gets solar power into the hands of tinkerers and backyard DIY folks. I think it's going to spur so much creativity.

never trust a mandolin!
I was at the ER the night before Thanksgiving/early hours of Thanksgiving last year with a family member, and we overheard two doctors call that block of time "The Night of the Mandolines" due to the sheer number of sharps injuries during meal prep.

i feel like if it was just the crazy sex stuff this would be the take but there's a big "she consistently acted in ways that should have ended her career as a political journalist and nobody cared". like, she told the rfk jr campaign who was *her source* that was leaking stories from the campaign
you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Reporter: What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?
Trump: Well, they’re making concessions. Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don’t take any more land.

Det är inte särskilt lugnande att ha en minister, med ansvar för det psykologiska försvaret, som enögt härjar på sociala medier och sätter sig hos högerextrema propapandakanaler och låtsas att de är serösa.

Har fattat alls vad det är för något, och därför inte heller varför ni är så arga.
Så.
