lumped in a corner,
fraught with dinge;
emotions sit—
sopping, soaked.
a sock sags without hope,
how did it get here?
a change of clothes—
or feet escaping—
escaping pain?
but the sock—
that sock is me—
left behind,
caught,
caught in your rain.

Deutschland und Niederlande hatten im Jahr 2020 mit 640Wp/Einwohner gleich viel Photovoltaik.
2024: DE hat 900Wp/EW
NL: 1200Wp/EW
Und hier wird behauptet, es wäre zuviel PV.

Was ist hier kaputt?

Critics slam renewables for land use but ignore fossil fuels' huge impact.

Germany's Hambach lignite mine: 85 sq km pit, 300m deep, snapped from ISS.

My first ever energy research protect professionally was on the externalities of lignite. In short: they are very significant!

A German app on a German (Display lang) android. Built by a German IT company, for connecting (mostly) German speaking doctors to (mostly) German speaking clients.

Still, the notification obviously fails to render German umlauts. 🤦

#FAIL #Android #umlauts
A push notification on android: A light gray on black message bubble containing the text "Sie haben neue Daten empfangen. Ä~ffnen Sie ihre App um neue Daten ab..."

[Rant on electricity]

WTF is this?!
I mean the house was built in the late 80s (1989, I think) but everywhere I look at electricity it looks like it's been done in the early 60s.. 🤬
Maintenance panel of some electric wiring removed on a white wall. A black box with LOADS of wires in black, blue and green/yellow also some brown wires are visible. The whole thing is dirty AF. In the middle of the picture is one black cable that looks like it should be in the wago clamp but it's not.

Did I mention #3dprining is the best hobby, not only on Christmas? 😬
Section of a Christmas tree, some lights and some ornaments are visible. Among the ornaments are an X-Wing, a TIE-Fighter, a Santa frozen in Carbonite and a Death-Star. A section of a Christmas tree, in the center is a Death-Star ornament, the part where laser Array is, shows a glowing green LED.

Heute muss hier mal was raus. Es wird ein kleiner ‚Rant‘ werden. Es geht um das Klima. Um das eklatante Unwissen darum in fast allen Teilen des wissenschaftlichen und journalistischen Spektrums. Und um den Umgang mit jenen, die sich (noch) dafür engagieren.

I once saw a video of someone dismantling an E-I-style transformer, so he could remove a handful of wingdings in order to lower the output voltage...
My thoughts back then were "well, why doesn't he simply buy a new one?"
