This is an amazing and, in my experience, almost entirely unappreciated benefit of electric vehicles that have vehicle-to-load or -home capabilities. (Most have V2L but few have V2H today.) EV companies should cultivate this capability and hit it much harder in their advertising.
We recently had a ~30hour outage, neighbours were stunned that we even ran the dishwasher powered from the car.

According to the latest CERES data just released yesterday for October, 2025, the current rate of planetary heating is about 10.28 Hiroshimas per second.
This equals 37,000 Hiroshimas per hour, 890,000 per day, and about 324 million Hiroshimas in planetary heating over the last year.

I disagreed with Erich on certain matters,
but his Ancient Egypt work was a vital contribution to topic covered in millenia of dust, debris and mis-direction.
Is it his pyramid theories that u object to?

All of this.
I know a lot of people think Ancient Aliens is harmless fun. It certainly can be fun (I say this as a fan of Weekly World News!) but it has definitely not been harmless.

Few individuals have had such a colossal & deleterious impact on the cultural psyche as the recently-departed Erich von Däniken. While he was not alone in fusing aliens into our conception of the distant human past, he was perhaps the most successful & the most harmful in doing so.

I had a significant medical issue over Christmas when local GP was unavailable, and couldn’t face braving A&E, so, out of desperation, asked ChatGPT. After asking a few questions, it came up with a plausible hypothesis, and a way to resolve it using an OTC supplement. It was right.

Because of La Nina and the mid-year dip in 2025, the Climate Casino expects the 365-day running average to fall for the first part of this year, possibly getting as low as 1.40°C by July before rebounding sharply with the onset of the expected El Nino.

The mass of CO₂ humans put into the atmosphere in 2025 is 4x the mass of all plastic humans have ever produced.
Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:
