@explodingsoftly Do you not think Doris is more of a 7.29 than an 8? #thatsnumberwang

@killianbyrne @dave_or_chips As Tim has explained below - that's absolutely not the case. Should be better across facts than this.

@dave_or_chips Well, perhaps if the IRFU didn't have to prop up payments on your stadium there might be more money to be spent elsewhere.

I'm old enough to remember when Munster signed Doug Howlett and Christian Cullen - who were at the time (and remain) the All Blacks highest and second highest try scorers in history.

200,000 acres. In February.

🚨 #BREAKING: A MASSIVE wildfire has completely surrounded the town of Canadian, TX and is expected to enter the town imminently. All roads have been blocked, and an unknown amount of residents are trapped. This is looking REALLY bad.

I can't believe they're planning student accomodation for a site that was previously rejected for student accomodation before there was a major fire by pure coincidence, send tweet.

@RuaidhriOC @StatsPerform And that's Numberwang!

Was listening to a commentator on a morning programme trot out the tired line that The Greens are a single issue party. The Greens are an every issue party because what happens to climate informs every issue from Health and housing to transport and energy.

Good morning with good news: "For every doubling of deployment, battery costs have fallen by 19%. Couple these cost declines with density gains of 7% for every deployment doubling and batteries are the fastest-improving clean energy technology." Wonderful! rmi.org/the-rise-of-ba…

@timoconnorbl At what point do you accept you're a passenger and at best can "suggest" when to maneuver. I do not miss it

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

This is gas. An Israeli soldier dresses up as dinosaur and launches bombs at Gaza. Personally I would have chosen a Barney the dinosaur costume, especially when blowing up children into steaming piles of flesh. Sure you have to laugh, don’t you? You have to have the bit of craic

"marine deforestation" What a good term to describe the total destruction of marine habitats caused by bottom trawling theguardian.com/environment/20…

Good morning with good news: Norway's data indicates EVs "fail at a lower rate than gas cars in extreme cold." EVs are 25% of cars in Norway. In a recent cold snap, 13% of cars unable to start were EV. For 2024 so far, 21% of cars unable to start were EV. electrek.co/2024/01/17/ele…

Good morning with good news: "BMW declares tipping point in shift" from ICE to EVs "as sales heat up." Its 2023 EV sales jumped 75%. BMW expects to sell 500,000 EVs in 2024. Best of all, BMW's 2025 EVs will have “30% more range, 30% faster charging." electrek.co/2024/01/15/bmw…

Small bit of a public service announcement. The absolute dipshits who called for POM to be dropped from the Ireland team will likely be the same ones saying he HAS to be kept by Munster FOR Ireland. If you do have to listen to this guff at least don't pay for it.

@HugoGordon1 I fully agree - I think the issue is that the province with the most talent (Leinster) can confidently say "being on the bench here is a good route to Ireland caps". Doesn't really give an incentive to leave and build your profile elsewhere

Wow! @HannahRitchie shows converting all UK transportation to electricity vehicles powered by wind and solar generated electricity cuts total energy demand consumed by transportation by ~73%. This example exposes the Primary Energy fallacy! H/T @Stockfttp sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/uk-ev-electr…
