The coming week is shaping up to be a pretty crazy weather week in California, TBH--even more so than previously thought. Ongoing heatwave expected to be longer & peak even higher, & now we have potential influence of a soon-to develop hurricane to consider. (1/n) #CAwx #CAfire

SEJDA: zrovna u oblecenia to je asi jedno ne? to vidis co si skusas a co kupujes, stacilo by to zabavene napr. iba presit stitkom "FAKE" alebo nieco a supnut to bezdakom na charitu, ti stejne nejake dobre meno nepoznaju

ine by boli usb disky vyrobene z urezanej usb koncovky, ale do vyroby takychto smejdov asi neslo tolko energii a vody ako do vyroby oblecenia

mohli by uz tieto veci zacat vycislovat aj v tom kolko zbytocnych gigawattov energie sa na to vypraskalo a porovnat to s nejakymi hodinami behu nejakej uzitocnej prace (lednicka, pracka, dojezd EV...), este ked si pomyslime kolko zbytocneho textilu konci v pusti v chile, tak je to strasne nelogicke chovanie for profit

Starting Monday, California will see its highest chance of rolling blackouts as the heat wave intensifies, grid officials said Sunday.
“This multiday event is going to get much more intense,” Elliot Mainzer, CEO of the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state grid, told reporters Sunday. California is facing “the highest likelihood of rotating outages we’ve seen so far” this summer beginning Monday, he said.
The grid operator has asked Californians to reduce their electricity use from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday — a request known as a Flex Alert — and from 4 to 10 p.m. Monday. The late afternoon and evening are when air conditioning demand is extremely high, causing strain on the power grid. More Flex Alerts are a virtual certainty as the workweek begins.

California heat wave: Chance of rolling blackouts rises sharply starting Monday

2022 is a year of undeniable climate extremes. In Pakistan, unprecedented floods have destroyed over half a million homes and put one third of the country underwater. In China, a drought with no precedent in human history, according to the global expert on extreme temperatures, is forcing semiconductor plants to close so that energy and water can be reserved for domestic use. Europe is suffering its longest drought in 500 years, with no end in sight, and facing energy prices that have risen up to sixfold in a year, with the Ukraine War only partially to blame. Drought in the USA is exposing never-before-seen dinosaur footprints in dried-up rivers.
Who could have seen this coming? Certainly not economists, who predicted that far higher temperatures than today would do only moderate damage to the economy. William Nordhaus, who was given the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on climate change, claimed in 2018 that a 6℃ increase in global temperature would cause GDP to fall by less than 10%. But we're starting to see huge catastrophes across the globe at a temperature rise of just over 1℃. Nordhaus's predictions are starting to look spectacularly wrong, and the New York Times said so just recently in an article titled "Pace of Climate Change Sends Economists Back to Drawing Board".
