It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw

With civilians looking on in total awe

The fight raged on for a century

Many lives were claimed but eventually

The champion stood, the rest saw their better

Mr. Rogers in a blood-stained sweater

Seriously!! A grievous crime from The Guardian leaving us hanging like that!

Edit: it bothered me, so I did some digging:

Here's a video of Alan discussing his design for the chair:

It looks like that was filmed a month ago, so if he woodworks anything like me it'll be a minute before it's finished :D

There's more photos and info on their crowdfunder page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/great-oak-table

You're totally right, not a single lathe was used to "turn" the table.

I'm very interested to see how countries like Pakistan can lead the way in the clean energy revolution out of a necessity for cheap electricity rather than a desire for clean power.

Their electric grid and economy is such that they can optimize around solar rather than trying to force solar to fit into their existing system. Necessity is the mother of invention, and places like Pakistan will probably be able to teach us all a thing or two about how to develop economies around the Sun.

The main culprit, according to the report, is unsustainable agricultural practices, which are responsible for 80% of forest loss. These techniques, which include heavy use of chemical inputs, pesticides and water diversion, also erode soil, diminish water supplies and contaminate ecosystems.

Projects like this are completely necessary, for after we phase out fossil fuels. Not "while we ramp down" or "so we don't have to shut off this plant over here". Once the phaseout is complete these systems help reign in the overshoot.

I work for a company that (tragically, not my choice) has a private jet. I've been on the calls where we have tried to convince the fairly progressive CEO (oxymoron) to spend millions of dollars annually on voluntary SAF. They did not go well. This is for one private jet.

No airline is taking meaningful action on SAF just because a small number of flyers paid extra. They're gonna pocket that cash and do nothing until legislation forces action. The pilots in CA aren't altruism, they're being mandated by law.

These airlines are still figuring it all out. The amounts they charge for the privilege of "offsetting" your flight are less about the cost and more about the extra revenue, and quite frankly a lot of airlines put the $ given to them into the cheapest carbon offsets they can possibly find, not into SAF.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they're putting your $ into meeting their CA SAF minimum requirements.

In Voyager, if you're relatively up-to-date: Settings > User tags > Track votes

It only starts tracking once you enable so everything will look blank at first because it's all just 0.

Never thought I'd find myself rooting for Blackrock, of all of the seedy trillion-dollar hedge fund managers. But I guess were headed back into the darkest timeline for the next few years, so I should probably buckle up.

Unrelated, but I am loving the new tag feature in Voyager

It's brilliant frankly, you've rigged the system but you don't want Republicans to know, so you just give them the House, the Senate, and the White House to lure them into a false sense of security. A flawless plan, they'll never see the next step coming: being helpless to stop the unfolding erosion of civil liberties and public health and safety.

Your friendly reminder that so many plastics aren't recyclable - so glad California is finally pushing back on greenwashing

Interesting application of machine learning to actually reduce computational intensity for once...
