If you ever tuned to the news from the #UnitedStates you often hear speaking of #EnergyIndependence and a surplus in #Oil production. That, however, is a mere accounting trick.
In reality the #US processes 16.5 million barrels of #CrudeOil in its refineries every day. But its daily extraction rate is 13.5 Mb. Every day the country imports 3 Mb.

Yesterday I went to see #Kreator for the very first time. It was the first night of this tour and I was not at all expecting such an amazing show, sonically and visually. Besides the stage props, Sami played the whole thing on his beautiful vintage #Ibanez #Destroyer.
Shout out to #Carcass too, they do play good, electrifying music.
Denmark secretly sent troops with explosives to Greenland to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq if Donald Trump attempted a military takeover.
Nøglekilder i Danmark og Europa fortæller nu for første gang, hvad der skete i de mest kritiske dage, hvor Donald Trump truede med at tage Grønland "på den hårde måde".
No, this is not an #AprilFools joke. #pgAdmin is actually forcing an #LLM on its users.
What is the point here? #Postgres presently dominates the market. If it is not broken don't fix it.
The good news: #DuckDB now includes #Geometry as a built-in type, a major step forwards for this #database engine.
The bad news: it stores #Geographic #Coordinates backwards, with #longitude first. Beware of interoperability with other software.
Name Description GEOMETRY Geospatial entity The GEOMETRY data type is used to store and manipulate geometric objects, such as points, lines, and polygons. The GEOMETRY type was part of the spatial extension but became a built-in data type in DuckDB v1.5. Most of the benefits of having GEOMETRY as a built-in type (e.g., storage optimizations, statistics, etc.) are therefore only available in databases using storage version v1.5 and above. However, almost all of the associated functions for working with geometries (e.g., calculating distances, areas, intersections) are still part of spatial. Types of Geometries Conceptually, the GEOMETRY type follows the core…
