@dale_wen We need a third pillar not because renewables do not work but because this might happen:

Only some 200 years ago. The western hemisphere has to learn to think long term not short term.

Nice sunny day in Bavaria. Another day when all these wind turbines stand perfectly still, as expensive land decorations without generating a single watt of electricity.
I saw more than 50 wind turbines today while driving and hiking through the landscape. Not a single one of them was turning.
I used to support the so called "renewables". But having eyes to observe and a brain to think make me doubt the renewable maximumist narrative.
Southern Germany is simply not suitable to build more wind turbines, because it is just not windy enough. No amount of government mandate or subsidies can change that. Green's 100% renewable fantasy is an expensive war against nature.

@ukraine_map He will never get 66 Senators to agree to pull out of NATO. He wouldn't even be able to get all of the 53 Republicans. I try to never "say never" anymore, but this one is actually never going to happen.

This is exactly what Putin wants before invading the Baltics
If this occurs, Putin would get the best gift he could have dreamed of

BREAKING: Trump told The Telegraph he’s “strongly considering” pulling the U.S. out of NATO after it refused to join the Iran war. (If he follows through, he’d need a two-thirds Senate vote or new legislation.)

@OdedRechavi #TheBookerprizes are excellent filters for outstanding authors and books in general.

🇯🇵 A brainless blob reproduced the Tokyo rail network in 26 hours. It was not trying to solve a transport problem. It was trying to eat oat flakes.
Physarum polycephalum is, to be generous, a blob. Pale, damp, the size of a thumbnail, it has no brain, no nervous system, and no cells that could reasonably be accused of thinking. Scientists had studied it for years without feeling particularly threatened by it.
Then someone put it in a maze.
Within hours, Physarum had found the shortest route between entrance and exit. Not by wandering randomly. Not by luck. By something that had no name, because everyone had assumed it required a brain. This was interesting enough. What happened next was embarrassing.
In 2010, a researcher named Toshiyuki Nakagaki and his team placed a piece of slime mold at the centre of a damp map of greater Tokyo. Around it, at the locations of 36 surrounding cities, they put small piles of oat flakes. Then they left the room.
The organism did what it always does. It explored. Thin tendrils pushed outward in every direction, feeling for food. When a tendril found an oat flake, that connection strengthened. When a path led nowhere useful, it was quietly dismantled. The slime mold was not planning. It was simply following local chemistry, the same way it had been doing for 500 million years.
After 26 hours, the exploration was over. What remained was a sparse, elegant network of tubes connecting all 36 cities to each other. Not a tangle. Not a web covering everything. A clean, efficient system with strong main corridors between the busiest points and lighter connections branching where they were needed.
The team held it up next to the actual Tokyo rail map. The corridors matched. The branch lines matched. Even the redundant connections, the backup routes engineers had added so the system could survive a single failure, appeared in nearly the same places. The slime mold had not just found the cities. It had independently arrived at the same logic that Japanese railway engineers had spent decades refining. By some measures, its network was more robust than the one humans had built.
There is no headquarters inside Physarum, no moment where anyone decides anything. The intelligence, if that is even the right word, lives entirely in one simple rule repeated across millions of connections: strengthen what works, abandon what doesn’t. That rule, applied blindly and without awareness, produces something that looks unnervingly like wisdom.
The slime mold was not trying to redesign the Tokyo rail network. It was trying to eat breakfast. It just turns out that the most efficient way to eat breakfast, when your breakfast is scattered across a map of greater Tokyo, looks a great deal like good urban planning 😅

Zitat: “Wer #Fahrrad fährt, dem kann der #Spritpreis doch völlig egal sein"
Na das soll er mal meine gute Freundin sagen, die um 6:00 in Arbeitskleidung in Amazonlager sein muß und 80km Strecke zu fahren hat um ihre Studium mit ein kleines Kind zu finanzieren …

@graddenker @HelmPeter Kannte den Podcast nicht. Joachim Senn schon. Danke für die Info.

@HelmPeter @jorg_klug Hab grade den Testbericht vom Geladen Podcast angeschaut. Ernüchternd.

Next test result for Donut solid state battery goes live at 2 pm CET. Idonutbelieve.com @HelmPeter

@HelmPeter Die Finnen können richtige Spannung aufbauen und machen das extrem gut. Höhepunkt immer am Ende.

@jorg_klug Eine weiterer Test. Gut, dass Sie liefern. Aber wir wollen vor allem die 400Wh/kg sehen und die 100.000 Zyklen.
Wir werden es sehen.

The ecosystem is not complicated. It’s simple: exploitation of scientists beholden to a corrupt system to generate profit for corporations.
Oded Rechavi@OdedRechavi
More collaborations between q.e.d and key players in this complicated ecosystem (research institutions/journals/libraries/industry/AI) and more measurments/benchmarks coming up soon! 👏 Stay Tuned! Oh, and importantly, TOTALLY new functionalities released soon!

@micha06de @ReskiLab @mibelle_biochem Ich kannte die PM von Fraunhofer, war auf der PerioTrap Seite, aussergewöhnlich hohe Nachfrage … bin vorgemerkt. Da steht nirgendwo was mit Algen! Dachte es geht um eine weitere Zahnpasta. Wer hat die PM geschrieben? Sehe Goldgrubenpotential! Ist PerioTrap an der Börse?

@jorg_klug @ReskiLab @mibelle_biochem Such mal nach PerioTrap Zahnpasta, da findest Du einige Shops bzw. Apotheken. Spoiler: Die ist nicht ganz billig.
Hier noch eine Presseinformation von Fraunhofer dazu ->

Can’t believe it’s already 7 years since the first cosmetic product from our industrial cooperation with @mibelle_biochem became available.
Very rewarding to see that research can have an impact in real life.

@ReskiLab @mibelle_biochem Wie Wirkstoffe aus #Algen 😀. Zahnpasta mit Wirkstoffen aus Algen gegen Paradontitis gibt es inzwischen schon. Wirkstoffe aus, die gegen Alzheimer und Fibrose wirken könnten werden, scheinen vielversprechend zu sein.
