thinking abt this bc there is currently a controversy on tiktok where people are misreading and spreading a statistic from this article, saying that 62 million men were either in or interested in a telegram chat about drugging and raping their female partners when really it was like 1000 people max
Why not try in english. 🙂 Maybe someone with knowledge about an extremely narrow nisch of polish history, have some input.
This is the area (as far as my swedish/danish/german sources say) where historical #stonefishing occured in the 1800's & 1900's.
Was stonefishing ever a thing in #Poland?
n 2025, the EU added around 15 GWh of utility-scale battery capacity, enough to shift 9% of the new solar generation added in that year, and it has a record pipeline of projects that could quadruple battery capacity. In Australia, batteries are setting peak evening power prices lower Australia shows how batteries can quickly reshape power markets once deployed at scale. In Q4-2025, during the high-value evening peak hours (18:00-20:00) in the National Electricity Market, batteries set prices 36% of the time - doubling from 18% in Q4-2024, displacing gas and hydro as price setters. This led to significantly lower price volatility compared with Q4-2024, with average spot prices of around $100 per MWh during 18:00-20:
a nice visualisation of that
Yeah, I’m sure they could look less alike than they do! Factors of aerodynamics constraints etc and factory tooling must play in, plus general playing it safe. Would not be surprised to see weirder varieties appearing the more electric-only platforms there are. Likely from China.
a chart showing india's trajectory to avoid the coal boom
This is really interesting. "leapfrogging" fossil fuels was often hypothetical but in India it really seems to be happening
On the topic of ”why do cars these days look so alike”
"Solar's growth from 2024 to 2025 was basically the highest growth of anything ever"
Remember all of the articles telling us that the energy transition wasn't real and we should aim to do it slowly?
We should compile a list of the authors of those as "people to never listen to again."
extremely explicit Chinese targeted racism went surprisingly quickly from being everywhere to mostly no longer done. In the 1990s it was in all sorts of comics.
Cupra logo which looks like an abstract cyber goat head
I thought the Cupra car brand was bastardized from Capra, i.e. goat, since the logo kind of looks like a goat’s head too. But no: ”The "Cupra" name, short for "Cup Racing" was first used in 1996” and the logo is just supposed to be dynamic intersecting triangles.
Still goat to me.
Not sure if this is common knowledge outside of vehicle design nerds: there are literally way fewer actually different car models than you’d think. Many are just ”reskinned”. One example: Škoda Enyaq is basically VW ID4.

Not to forget production optimization and modular platforms. The % of manual assembly was much higher in the 1970s, likely the share of custom parts too. When stuff was hand assembled to a larger extent there was no particular benefit in optimizing all details.
I'll take your word for it!
I truly do not know, some pictures of it look less bad though. It is beef broth and a little bit of vinegar.
Gotta correct that this _no longer_ is a school kitchen mainstay, because it was so widely disliked.
Along with blood pancakes and liver casserole, both which are highly divisive and have all but vanished from school cafeterias.
lampreys flamed, they are charred eel-like things
Azure a bend Or charged with a lamprey sable, between six ears Or
This reminded me of another traditional Finnish delicacy (apparently Latvian, too): grilled lamprey. It even is in the coat of arms of Nakkila.
I can just about see why some love it, but a very strong-flavoured fish thing full of sand is not among my personal faves.
one ex girlfriend's dad was a big fan of lutefisk, although he volunteered that the main reason for eating it is the white sauce.
Apparently! Tilliliha was originally from lamb meat, later beef or veal, (or in school kitchens probably spam)
perinteinen tilliliha – traditional dill meat. Actual header image from a recepies page, there are some potatoes and bits of meat and tan-colored sludge and a dark thing that may be a beetroot but who can tell. It is all on a porcelain plate and photographed with the worst possible flat light.
Finland has an endless variety of trad meat dishes that are absolute ass, like ”tilliliha”. Supposedly this can be well made but who knows, school kitchen mainstay.

The whole web is built on a primary grace: that the people visiting you are trustworthy. It costs a little something for me to serve my webpage to everyone who goes there. When the number of scrapers outnumbers the number of humans by an order of magnitude, this grace is fragile.
Neat, makes me wonder if 3DGS is technically possible

I am excited beyond description to lift the veil on what we have been working on in 2026:
Please meet ggsql! A new extension of the SQL language for creating visualisations using the grammar of graphics. Read all about it in the blog post or visit the website at ggsql.org
Privileged Scandinavian perspective here – schools and daycares were closed for two months in Finland. Felt longer! Daycare closure ending in May 2020 was a huge deal, older kid got to actually ”graduate” from daycare with their friends, in person.
Wonder how many Remote raves / concerts / plays have been arranged post lockdowns. Feel there is a near-unanimous agreement that they just sucked.
This is a box crab 📦🦀, likely Calappa calappa (from a Malay word meaning "coconut").
They're also called 'shame-faced crabs' because they pull their massive claws (chelae) in front of their face when alarmed.
Why are they squirting? This is a way of moving water over their gills to keep them wet.
This is pretty amazing. Draw accurate landscapes from The Sentinel on a pen plotter? And animate them? I'm definitely in!

I do my projects for a lot of reasons, but seeing what people do with them? Yeah, that's a big one. 😀
