Wild footage from Tuapse, Russia, of houses 200m away from the tank farm burning up from spilled oil that the firefighters have failed to contain: Ukraine's attacks on this port have been spectacularly successful. Ukraine will win this war through the destruction of the Russian economy as long as the western world helps them. Yes, this has been fully geo located: https://x.com/i/status/2049134233218629819

South Africa, a country whose politics is mainly about stealing wealth from whites, also wants to steal wealth from Bitcoiners. I'm shocked. Shocked I said!

The Bob calendar is down right now because it's out of funds to pay tx fees: bob.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org If people can send funds to bc1q83zmvtfks2dnvqfgcmxme24kah602cxr59h5v7 to get it back up that'd be much appreciated.

Obviously, solar panels are going to more sunlight into heat than highly reflective surfaces; the _study_ is not necessarily wrong. But the dumbed down journalistic description of it is clearly dumb. The right way to describe this would be to say that 15% to 25% is turned into electricity, and the remainder of the 95% is turned into heat. That respects what's actually happening in an easy to understand way.

"A small percentage" As I said, it's about 15% to 25%. Making the 95% claim in the article obviously wrong. It's a trivial thing to get right. Solar will of course turn a higher % into heat than many highly reflective surfaces. So the overall concept may work. But not with the numbers quoted.

Your daily reminder that journalists are parasites on productive society.

https://www.techradar.com/pro/maybe-its-not-science-fiction-solar-panels-are-causing-rainwater-to-fall-in-one-of-the-driest-places-on-earth β€œThe researchers modeled solar panels as nearly black surfaces that absorb 95% of incoming sunlight.” It's hilarious how easy it is to debunk this article. Typical solar panels convert about 15% to 25% of the incoming light into electricity while operating. That's energy that is removed from that location entirely, and re-released somewhere else. This is one reason why putting solar panels on your roof can keep your house cooler. It is physically impossible for efficiently operating solar panels to absorb 95% of the incoming sunlight.
