This curve reminded by of what I recall Dr. Rudolf Slovacek called a "Dews plot" (blame my faulty memory or the beer we were drinking at the time) of Estimated Time to Completion vs. Time. If you extrapolate projections you get two endpoints: never happens or already happened. I wish them luck.
Good perspective on the lack of respect shown by the U.S. for even "friendly" parties. www.dw.com/en/us-strike...
RIP. Slava Ukraini.
Since MAGA was opposed in principle to the Trump wars, I hope to see some red hats at the next #NoKings rally.
Whose boots?
Since Trump invariably lies and leaks, he was undoubtedly just given a TOP SECRET briefing on munitions logistics and decided to bluff the world about looming shortfalls, as if people can't count.

Reminder that the President has NO power to do this in the first place.
Fortunately the Constitution provides for the removal of a President committing such a High Crime. I can hardly wait for Congress to act.
AI can't be a person Until SCOTUS decides it IS a person, like corporations. And it's lies are "protected speech"
Encouraging and inspiring.
I have stockpiled a couple of old computers, which are perfectly fine for my needs.

This should be a warning to everyone. On an unrelated topic, I heard the U.S. had 11 million fewer tourists in 2025.

I fear Trump will vent his rage against Iran to be a war-time president at the State of the Union address.

The reframing of the Sankey is good, esp. end use primacy. This suggests still more breakdown, say of heat into consumption (comfort, food processing) vs. transformation (glass, steel) into longer term assets. Same for computational electricity consumption. Some is work, most is waste heat.
are you talking about vegetation, like firewood?
The airfoil shape suggests a breeze and the change in chord with elevation kind of follows a laminar boundary layer. Horizontal striations rule out dendritic growth I think. Contraction of the underlying H2O with cooling after the horizontal ice layer formed could explain the upward displacement.

Of course.
Great idea. Here's a question, can some of these abandoned wells be used for depositing CO2 back into underground formations. Just asking in case some of this investment could be leverage beyond sealing and capping wells. Perhaps suitable wells are capped with a tree that could accept CO2?

Good for them.
NBC's Olympics coverage this morning had recruiting ads from Bovino's CBP.
I'm sure in his mind, the demise of the post is our fault for cancelling our subscriptions.
It's patriotic and in the national security interest to release the #epsteinfiles and remove Putin's leverage over Trump.
Famine, oppression, poverty, opportunity
How perverse. The church and pastor themselves are free to bring an action against Mr. Lemon. By its action, the government is insinuating itself as a religious protector, which would seem to me to contravene the establishment clause. But what do I know, I'm just a citizen.
