With Russia's current rate of advance now on schedule to occupy all of Ukraine 196 years from now, Russians focus their war efforts solely on Ukraine's civilian population.

My health has been especially limiting recently (peri-menopause has kicked off so many new and difficult things!)

So, this morning I am imagining that I am this person. On the shores of a loch, in the wind, cheeks cold, hair a mess, heart full.

My EV conversion batteries just arrived!
I thought I'd have days of delays and paperwork and Customs fees but the supplier just did everything for me.
As for the specs, I've now got 96 CALB NMC cells, totaling around 21 kWh.
Total cost for the batteries, busbars & shipping was $6500 NZD ($3715 USD).
Interestingly though, the total weight for the batteries is only around 90 kg (198 lbs). Might just get this Austin Allegro converted to electric very close to its internal combustion weight!

The Trump book burnings are beginning.

Trump book burnings are beginning.

Thus far, the review of Nimitz Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of the defense secretary’s verbal order. According to a second defense official, they include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” and a biography on Jackie Robinson.



Sperm whales have two nostrils, but unlike most animals, they are asymmetrically positioned. The left nostril is visible on the outside and forms the single blowhole used for breathing. The right nostril is hidden inside the whale’s massive head and is actually part of its complex echolocation system.

Thanks for sharing, The Guernsey Scientist !

Spotted in #Paris : #drywall at the Maison des Canaux. Mortar was used on top, maybe to hold the railing that is fitted above the wall.

Thank you @kristiedegaris for showing us what drywall is like, it gets me to spot cool features while walking around!

Es wird immer deutlicher, dass die AfD zur neuen Union wird. Will meinen, dass viele, wenn nicht sogar die Mehrzahl der UnionswählerInnen in Wirklichkeit immer rechtsradikal gedacht hat und deshalb immer mehr von denen immer weniger ein Problem damit haben, die mittlerweile verfügbare bessere Vertretung ihrer unterdrückten Hassgedanken zu wählen. 2029 spätestens wird es so weit sein, wahrscheinlich aber schon früher.

Und genau da ist der Bildungsmangel: Im Schulsystem geht es nicht und ging es nie um Werte. Es ging und geht um Leistung, Unterordnung, "Arbeitsfähigkeit" getarnt als "Fachwissen". Forderungen nach "Schule muss Steuererklärung, Betriebswirtschaft etc vermitteln" verdeutlichen das.
@StefanMuenz @Opa1
in reply to Paul J Wege

Kann ich so nicht bestätigen. In meinen Schulen, ebenso in denen meiner Freunde & Familie, wurden Werte vermittelt, sowohl im Politik-, Erdkunde-, Sozialkundeunterricht, als auch in anderen Fächern.
Ein mglw. fehlendes Vermitteln von Werten auf kognitiver Ebene durch Bildung ist nicht das Problem. Auch die Faschos sind zur Schule gegangen & haben diese Werte an die Adresse ihres Hirns erhalten. (1/2)

Bei der Debatte um #studioghibli und #OpenAI würde ich ja erst mal an dem Punkt ansetzen, warum die Ähnlichkeit zu Personen eigentlich so bescheiden ist. Das sollte technisch schon viel besser gehen.
in reply to Ralf Stockmann

Ok, ich dachte bei der Debatte ginge es um etwas anderes. Um im Bereich "Bild" zu bleiben eher darum, dass es eigentlich eine Fälschung ist und nicht darum, wie gut die Fälschung ist und das man sie akzeptiert, wenn die Qualität stimmt.

Republicans in Congress are pushing a law to block federal district courts from ruling that an illegal nationwide practice must stop nationwide. For instance, the question of whether the president, or a billionaire outsider, can shut down Social Security Agency offices would have to be litigated in each of the 90-odd federal districts. That would be highly

Except in the case in January, the employee was using approved federal records act channels. Caught the mistake and immediately took corrective action so the operation wasn’t compromised, yet she’s been placed on leave and they’re going to revoke her security clearance and end her career - for a much less serious incident than the signal screw up.
