  • My in law's summer cabin. In the middle of nowhere, only swamps and forests and a small lake. Sun rising / setting over the lake, with possibly morning mist. No worries. No noises, just birds chirping. Sitting on the porch just taking it all in. Amazing.

  • A month or so ago I woke up and something went crack in my neck as I tried to get up from the bed. Pain. Can't move my head. Slooowly subsides over like 15min. It still feels off and stiff and starts to hurt if it is a weird position for a while. Not sure what happened but fuck that.

  • Fun things. Though I'm not sure if anything like this is necessary even. Considering how much people tend to care about what these companies are doing and are willingly putting everything into their hands.

    Now to be fair, I can't really blame people that much. There is a lot to worry about and care about in this world, especially with the 247 news blasting us from every direction about disasters, wars, tensions, climate change etc. You have limited about of "caring" in you and gotta filter out the rest of the shit to keep your sanity. Tech companies are probably nor very high in the list. Which is why the big boys like governments and EU etc should do the heavy lifting but yeah, that has been going really well for the past 20 years.

  • It is such a great thing to see how the big corporations are using their power. For the betterment of the people. For their customers. The customers just are wrong and they need to be shown the true path. True path of Google (among other companies). Come join us. There will be cookies (through a subscription service, now -50% if you subscribe for a year!! What a deal!). We are good and just (terms and conditions may apply).

    Join us.

  • There is quite a lot of extra discussion regarding the 1000-ton rule in the artual report itself (link can ne found in the article). Here are some excerpts:

    it is likely more than 300 million (“likely best case”) and less than 3 billion (“likely worst case”) will die as a result of AGW of 2 °C.

    A more recent attempt at quantifying future deaths in connection with specific amounts of carbon was published by Bressler [69]. Coining an economically oriented term “mortality cost of carbon”, he claimed that “for every 4434 metric tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere beyond the 2020 rate of emissions, one person globally will die prematurely from the increased temperature”. His predictions were confined to deaths from extreme heat when wet-bulb temperature exceeds skin temperature (35 °C).

    Some interesting stuff in there.

    I would've added more but holy shit the mdpi.com mobile website is atrocious to copy stuff from. It keeps throwing me at the end of the entire article, highlighting everything.
