I keep hearing that we are expecting an exponential growth in energy use due to AI like it's some phenomenon that we have no control over and it makes me so fucking angry. We don't have to do it!! We can choose not to do this and not to lose all we've gained in the clean energy transition! fuck!!
I'd forgotten he existed as well. Not surprised to hear what he's up to now.

Take some time to enjoy the greenery, it's Manul Monday!
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
He'd win easily
Yeah, contrast that with what he said about the invasion of Iraq two decades ago
That does explain a lot about his behaviour.
I was expecting the yanks to use a nuclear weapon. Relieved that they didn't. I was also late for work today.
A "tactical" nuke, without the ugly and rude macho gloating Trump is notorious for.
And the geopolitical situation would be barely distinguishable from where we are now had that election gone the other way

Some positive news at last
A black cat under some Russian letters reading "не хочу на работу, хочу жить в лесу" (I don't want to go to work, I want to live in the forest)

I want to live in the forest"

I recorded a video about battery recycling, which the university's media people edited into a nice short video.

Canada has a lot of the raw materials China needs to build those EVs as well.
1/ Disruptions mean countries will rush to exit US-led oil order
Worst case scenario for oil companies (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“
i.e short term pain but Long: Iran war will accelerate ongoing STRUCTURAL shift to solar+EVs+batteries

I think I see something over there. Could it be... Manul Monday?
"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"
got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing
Something that was actually studied in the 50s and found to be a terrible idea.
There were all kinds of wacky schemes for civil uses of nukes in the Cold War.
The USSR did successfully seal a leaking gas well with an underground nuclear explosion.
people have been making AI videos that actually kinda look like real Marvel movie scenes and all it has done is even further lower my opinion of superhero movies
Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!
Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.
There's an existing port in Fujairah that is used to export some oil from the UAE, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. Only a fraction of their total exports pass through there though.
Saudi Arabia also exports some of their oil via a pipeline across the desert to a port on the Red Sea.

The black sphere with a fuse is based on old-fashioned mortars, if I remember correctly.
