Here is my analysis of the Chinese breakthrough in rocket reuse. No, its not just them copying SpaceX - and neither is it the end of SpaceX. But it does mean China has joined the club of 21st century space powers. Full article below:

@andyoattes @Polymarket It’s more a convenience for Gibraltar residents who often travel to and fro into Spain. The open route for refugees is just another oopsie

@Polymarket I suspect the purpose of this ruling is to allow the free movement of the 1m refugees that Sanchez allowed into Spain to the UK via Gibraltar. Eyes on this one.

JUST IN: Britain & the EU formally sign a Gibraltar treaty allowing residents to cross into Spain without passport stamps.

You know, although a lot of economic data, performance in sectors like AI and space, puts the US clearly ahead of China… ultimately China may win the long race because they actually believe in the legitimacy of their own civilisation.

@rjward1775 My impression was that this breed of lunatic is odds on to take control of at least the House in November?

@honx Yes. Importing German words is a bit of a hobby for UK politicians. Various chancellors spent a lot of time gushing about Mittelstand (without much policy substance resulting from it)

UK subjects in 2040 enjoying their state-directed algorithmic feed inside their passivhaus compliant social housing, during their hourly energy ration. Some are treasonously choosing to emigrate, after paying their “settling up tax”

She says - twice - the London and the Southeast specifically will be allowed to have air conditioning instead of some passive system with rocks and chimneys. Apparently Norwich and Hull, almost as hot as London on this day, aren’t sufficiently important to be allowed the tech.

Does the UK need air conditioning? Architect Smith Mordak argues Britain needs to stop treating extreme heat as an exception and start building for the temperatures we're already experiencing.

@twit_grim She mentions specifically that active cooling eg heat pumps should only be for the southeast

@peterrhague Air pipes, where a deeply dug pipe is laid and then the air intake for the building comes thru it, are a great solution for places that just have occasional heat waves. Ground source heat pumps are great for heating - there's no reason they can't be used for cooling.

@peterrhague It's literally impossible to imagine a life better than what's inside this cave. The outside is dangerous and probably poisonous anyway. Better to just stay inside.

@peterrhague Those have to be really dark interiors. Which require electricity to light them. They're like little medieval castles.

@orm0nde It means 'a gathering' and its focus is on invigorating Muslims, a kind of spiritual intensifying. Tablighi Jamaat, the organisers, favour fundamentalism. So it's about resolve - to commit harder to Islam. And we all know what that means for non-Muslims 😳

@SpinVector It’s not legally forbidden - but it is discouraged by various incentive structures. It’s socially forbidden for people who think we must bake ourselves for Gaia to atone for climate sins

@peterrhague Where does this strange idea that AC is forbidden come from? There's no law that forbids installation of AC.

We inflicted a 9/11 worth of deaths on ourselves because of an eco-Calvinist ideology that forbids people from cooling down their houses with technology over a century old.
