Our heat is electric. It's often resistance; when we want to be super-efficient, it's magnetic.

If Tesla were a car company, you’d almost have to be concerned about this kind of data. Luckily, Tesla is an AI and Robotics company now.
BYD sold 5,001 vehicles in Australia in January, a staggering 641% increase year-over-year, while Tesla managed just 501, leaving the American automaker in 24th place as Chinese brands continue their takeover of the Australian EV market.

Don't disappoint us! Thinking of Elon going to Mars brings us a sense of fittingness perhaps even exceeded by that of thinking of him on trial at Nuremberg.
It seems that the only way of knowing for certain that Elon's businesses will never achieve something, is if Elon says they will achieve said thing by next year....

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

the good news is that denmark saved over 90% of its jewish population from the holocaust
So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?
I ran across historical precedent for that today.
It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…
…in 1943.

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".
“Jaywalking is permitted in London. In 1966, the police tried to crack down on it, but gave up after three months.”
People walk and cycle on roads by right, people drive under licence.
