Merry go round Tate

Are we seeing the beginning of Jesusland and Greater Canada?

Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, are paragons of the manosphere — influencers who say a man’s role is to dominate women. In 2023, Romanian prosecutors said the brothers had seduced women and then pressed them into performing for the Tates’ pornography business. Andrew was also accused of rape. They were barred from leaving the country while prosecutors built their case. Earlier this year, though, Romania lifted the travel restrictions. An investigation by my colleagues Megan Twohey and Isabella Kwai found that support from Trump administration officials had played a crucial role in the decision. “We’re massively back,” a grinning Tate said in a video he posted in February as the brothers flew to Florida by private jet. For years, Megan and Isabella found, Andrew built relationships with Trump’s advisers and relatives, including Barron Trump, the president’s youngest son. They interviewed dozens of people in Romania, the United States and Britain. They reviewed hundreds of pages of court documents and private messages. Their work explains why the Tates are free again, at least for now.

Drill baby drill. To decide where to drill first requires detailed surveys. But what is being found? Not only oil and gas but also heat. But why are we looking for oil and gas? For energy. Ok, why not drill for heat, produce steam and generate electricity and or heat homes. Geothermal

Dropped kerbs, Crossovers, Cambers and cycling infrastructure I have a new mobility aid and street audit tool, a Christiania Cargo Trike :-) I think there are many unchallenged design assumptions, and would be pleased to hear any thoughts about the following …

It’s a Sans Serif that is easier for people with dyslexia etc to read. They will be banning ramps next because President Dotage thinks stumbling up steps is manly.

@oxfordjovan1.bsky.social on your introduction. Maybe it’s all a huge dead cat- including fascism and Marxism and no such thing as society to distract us from working out together how to make good during our short stay on this mortal coil Ubuntu I am because we are

What religious people really want is to harbour & espouse their delusional beliefs, without being challenged, questioned, or mocked.
-The problem is, that every time I see someone proudly displaying symbols of their beliefs in public, I feel like I’m looking at someone wearing a tinfoil hat.

Why are we not greening the deserts using solar thermal to both desalinate and produce energy for new ecocities? Creating new Amazon rainforests?

What is Geo-Exchange? As part of Princeton University's goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2046, we are advancing our use of geo-exchange technology. Investing in geo-exchange projects, with enough capacity to serve the...

Also this story came in an email entitled "Geothermal goes Ivy League" which suggests that maybe the editors weren't familiar with Princeton's work:

What puzzles me is why the transition is so slow. We have HVDC energy management solar pv wind and hydro. We have not really begun with geothermal heat networks solar thermal tidal storage. The Ai must have modelled this

Cornell’s deep-down and rocky quest to unlock geothermal for New York The university is drilling for geothermal energy to directly warm its campus upstate. The system could curb emissions without straining the grid.

Delighted to see some reporting on Cornell's Earth Source Heat project to decarbonize their campus. I would have loved to see some #'s on how much electricity they plan to save with this approach. Regular GSHPs are pretty efficient.
