Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us.
And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Exactly 💯
The Colorado River is drying up. Why?
An internal Exxon memo from 1979 predicted that, without a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, "the flow of the Colorado River would diminish and the southwest water shortage would become much more acute."
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Hopefully, with Orban losing bigly in Hungary, we have turned a corner. Trump—by way of JD Vance—trying to influence this election has backfired. Now the EU can fully support Ukraine (no vetos) and gradually wean itself off US influence, which will take years, but has definitely begun.

Psychedelic picture inducing non-existent movement topped by “Consciousness as a Survival Mechanism sans pareil—Part 4” which is the last part of my essay about consciousness.
Advantage of planning posts in advance: they get posted.
Disadvantage when I’m too busy: I can’t announce them.
So here’s a two-for-one, part 1:

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned!
#StopTrump
The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time.
Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end.
We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.
The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE.
The vote was unanimous.

Kamala Harris warned everyone.
Hillary Clinton warned everyone.
Both were ignored and now the entire world is in imminent danger. I’ll never regret voting for them.
say what you want about South Korea, at least THEY got their president impeached and thrown in prison for trying to do some bullshit
Tech bros are poisoning the world's water supplies to run a product nobody wants.
Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%.

Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government.
We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today.
If not, they must be replaced.

The novel is done, but there are still more stories to be told:

5. And keep in mind that in a recent, scientific test, art made by actual human artists was rated the highest (followed by art by non-artistic humans, humans + AI, and AI alone):

#AI #Art #humanmade
4. So what to do? Accept that low-quality art can be (partly) AI-made, and use and support human curation:

3. Using AI to determine if something is 100% AI-written also fails:
