I think it’s cool that the body gives you a brief window to go to bed early and if you miss it you are wide awake until 2am, I think whatever that’s for is probably worth it

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Much like SNAP, people really do not know how many of your freelance peers are on Medicaid or the subsidized tier vs ACA.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Tonight I saw Rebecca Sohn perform her Shirley Lamé solo show of all duets, accompanied by the wonderful TJ Shanoff.
She was brilliant and hilarious. It's such a fun show, and it makes me insane that she doesn't have a television special so more people can see it.

How the plastics industry shifted responsibility for recycling onto you, the consumer
Only 9% of plastics ever made have been recycled. Clever industry campaigns have shifted the costs of their own waste onto consumers.

This company shouldn't exist.
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

It's legal now.

one of my favorite icelandic words is "óveður" ("storm") because its literal translation is "unweather" which absolutely fits the vibe of your typical icelandic storm
