@nightmane War gestern in nem Radladen und bin erst mal aus allen Wolken gefallen als ich gesehen habe, was E-Bikes so kosten. 7k ist da noch Mittelfeld.
@tortoc Ach, ihr heute auch? Bei uns ist heute Sommerfest von der Firma. Zwar ohne Olympiade aber dafür mit Hüpfburg! XD

Mich faszinieren die Verdrängungsleistungen des Menschen in der Klimakrise.
Für das Ahrtal z.B. wurden tausende Genehmigungen für den Wiederaufbau erteilt.
Das Motto jedes Mal: "Nur, weil das Haus in den Fluten zerstört wurde, ist das ja noch kein Beweis dafür, dass dieser Ort auch hochwassergefährdet ist!"
I've been reading this blog for the past few years and I haven't recommended it yet so here you go:

If there ever was a moment that I regret not doing drugs, this was it.
This experience on mushrooms and I would've ascended to godhood XD
Currently sitting on my balcony, in sweatpants, blasting Tschaikowsky's 1812 Overture while the biggest fucking thunderstorm is going down.
Life is good.
Please take a few minutes of your time to watch this.
Corporate greed is always shit but it's especially shitty when it's in the pharmaceutical sector.
Just drove to work and had the most gorgeous view of an orange sky, thunderclouds rolling in and the alps in the background.
I don't know how I managed to love in a city for over 6 years
Just bought some water ice. Nothing weird to see here. Now get your mind out of the gutter while I'm slurpin' some bussy.
So my brother recently got a hamster (which he adores) and now I'm building him a hamster wheel speedometer for his birthday.

I mean, it's been fifteen fucking years. we know what Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey are about. they've shown us their whole entire asses. we've seen them radicalize our uncles and put Nazis onto the streets.
but the second they dangle a toy in front of us with the vague scent of FOMO and ground floor clout, that whole history gets thrown away and we're back to repeating history like it's 2007 all over again.
Since moving, I have started to expand my plant collection by growing various trees from seeds with the intention of turning them into bonsai.
A lot of them actually started sprouting but now some kind of fungus or insect is affecting them.
I really hope at least some of them are pulling through because at this point I'm easy too invested
War nie so der Schwimm-Typ aber so ein Badesee ohne Eintritt 5 Rad-Minuten von der Wohnung entfernt hat an solchen Tagen schon seine Vorteile
@nightmane Deploy the Hornissen!!!

Astronomers Map out the Radio Waves Coming from Large Satellite Constellations
You've heard that satellite constellations like Starlink are a problem for astronomers and their telescopes. Because the satellites are communicating with radio waves, they're also an issue for radio astronomers. A new study used the Low-Frequency Array to observe 68 Starlink satellites as they flew overhead. The telescopes could detect the "unintended electromagnetic radiation" emanating from electronics onboard the Starlink satellites. These could impact radio observations, and unlike visible light, the glare isn't coming from reflected light but emissions from the satellites themselves.

The funny thing is that it's not so much about the engineering and problem solving aspect of it. More often than not, it's just simple logistics. Basic flight-ready components have huge delivery times (sometimes more than a year) and PCB manufacturers are running at full capacity.
