Why did I post this unsurprising and hardly new fact? Because the fossil lobby group “CO2 Coalition” is spreading deception on this point. Of course the global data as shown below are far more relevant than a local temperature series.

Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little.

➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change.

Having the core infrastructure for Linux distros be written with a coherent set of design goals instead of being 200 independent projects that can only interoperate via shell scripts parsing and piping output is good, actually

I just went in for my third dose against Tick-Based Encephalitis, and the lovely person administering the shot told me that they are expecting to be able to provide immunization against Lyme disease either in 2027 or 2028!

Apparently Pfizer has a vaccine currently being trialed in phase 3. And they expect it will go well, which means a vaccine might actually become available soon!

Ich finde es sehr fair, dass die großartigen Battery Charts (https://battery-charts.de/de/home-de/) von der RWTH Aachen die neu zugelassenen Wasserstoffautos (grün) neben Batterielektrischen (blau) und plug-in Hybriden (gelb) in ihre Auswertung einbeziehen :)

Guten Morgen,
in Portugal gibt es bei Krankheit 3 Tage erstmal gar keinen Lohn, danach 55% des letzten Gehaltes. Trotzdem sind Portugiesen im Durchschnitt 4,1 Wochen im Jahr krank. Deutschland steht statistisch bei 3,8 Wochen.
Litauer und Norweger bekommen volle Lohnfortzahlung ab Tag 1. Trotzdem sind Norweger 5,9 Wochen krank, Litauer nur 1,5 Wochen. Hat jemand die Telefonnummer von Fritze Tünnef? (Zahlen von datapulse.de)

While doing environmental testing on a helicopter payload, I learned that NVMe drives (and perhaps all SSDs) can write data at high ambient temperatures >40 C, but the data is less permanent than if you write data at normal ambient temperatures.
So on hot days we had to hurry and copy our 4TB drives after the flight because the data had a half-life of a dozen hours or so.

That phenomenon is already documented, but I don't think it's widely known.
