Do the #dreams of #astronauts change on the #ISS because of change in #gravity?

We finally have electricity and water. I'm not sure about everywhere in Porto but at least my neighbourhood got it restored now.

#Portugal #Apagão #Blackout

Do we still know the cause, though? If I'm free to speculate I'm gonna say solar flare.

PS: Some neighbourhoods in Porto have power already. Not mine, unfortunately. And, please, restore the water first!

#Apagão

Well... That was something! No electricity and water still but at least telecoms are back up. Word of the day: Blackout

#Portugal #Apagão

What do I do with all the cheese and chouriços in my fridge?

fds lmao

#Apagão throughout the Iberian peninsula? #Foda-se

Oh damn! And here I thought it was a neighbourhood issue haha

Anyone in Porto facing a power outage?

Not just you. It's down for many users. I'm still trying to figure out if it's locked in a specific region or everywhere.

Damn. Well, thanks for the info!

Is anyone facing issues with #Spotify right now? It's not working for me.

Three Robinson projection maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in March 2025, January 2025 to March 2025, and April 2024 to March 2025 across the globe. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies. Most areas are warmer than average. The mean global near-surface air temperature anomaly for each map is also displayed in the upper-left corner. Anomalies are calculated relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. Data is from ERA5 reanalysis using the 2-m air temperature variable.

Temperature anomalies over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) around our planet...

So what we can observe is that there are heatwaves going on in Europe and Asia simultaneously.... In April.

This is great news. But we need to be clear that if energy comes at the cost of natural ecosystems, there's nothing 'clean' about it.

Perfect examples of this are burning old growth native forests as 'renewable biomass', or most river-based hydro power.

Emissions reduction MUST respect nature.

Looks like there's a #heatwave in South Asia. Nearly a month earlier than expected.

Does anyone have data on surface temperature for the region?
