IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Urban populations could swell by as much as 80% by 2030, but outward urban sprawl strains resources, increases costs for public services and widens the gap between the rich and poor. Uncover the risks cities face by growing ↔️ outward, not ⬆️ upward: https://bit.ly/3ZX3atw

In an increasingly provocative world, many of us seek to manage our emotions. But instead of asking whether you’re overreacting, you might ask, Am I reacting as usefully as I can?

Am I reading this right? Just pulled this ERCOT screenshot and I'm looking at battery use morning and evening. It looks like a little battery discharge 6-8 AM, then in the evening 5-7 PM. Morning is probably heat pumps/resistance warming up homes in the morning? #energysky

Today I want to present to you the in my opinion most impressive machine in the world: The #EUV (extreme ultraviolet) #lithography tool of #ASML. The tool has a size of 10x4x4 meters and costs ~200 million Euros. This tool is used for the fabrication of every modern chip in the world.

This is the story behind one of the most valuable — and perhaps, most improbable — technologies humanity has ever created. It's a breakthrough called extreme ultraviolet lithography, and it’s how the most advanced microchips in the world are made. https://buff.ly/3O7C3Fm
