Lovely day in Bavaria. #PV hammering out electricity despite it being early February. Even mobile 800W plug & play <€300 unit. It has produced over 600kWh in 295 days since installation, despite 2024 being terrible PV year. It will pay back within 18 months & can be set up anywhere with a house plug

If you are wondering why the country that helped America with its recent forest fires is being punished with more tariffs than China, which never helps America, Elon Musk owns an enormous car manufacturing plant in Shanghai.

The chairman of Israel's official Holocaust memorial has accused Elon Musk of insulting the victims of Nazism and endangering Germany’s democratic future after the billionaire addressed a rally for Germany’s far-right party.
Elon Musk's call for Germany to 'move beyond' Nazi guilt is dangerous, Holocaust memorial chair says
Musk made a virtual appearance at a campaign event for Germany’s far-right AfD party, saying “children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents.”

Just doing some mucking out & came across this 1990 radio-controlled German clock. Given to me as a job leaving present by colleagues in December 1990. Battery lasts 2-3 years & only ever available in double pack, so 2nd one dead by the time it comes to be replaced.
