Been comparing m4, m5 models to my 2018 mini + egpu/rx6600 setup, hoping the M graphics were becoming good enought for gaming at a decent price, but I think it is going to be another generation or two still.
Like seriously what’s the plan
Every economist screams. Again.
Instead of subsidising consumption, to keep bills vaguely similar, subsidise reducing demand.
A huge missed opportunity the first time round when the government did nothing until it utterly had to, and was left with one lever... helicopter money.
Spain's wholesale electricity prices were 32% lower than the European average in the first half of 2025 -- thanks to wind and solar reducing the influence of costly fossil fuels on prices. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

You know what to do
WATCH: Think 15-Minute City conspiracy theorists are just unhinged tin-foil hat nut jobs ranting about global overlords? Well, drop everything and watch this hard-hitting story by the @thedailyshow.com to be proven… um… #UrbanTruth
Congrats @culdesac.bsky.social

Fight over climate law looms as New York energy costs soar
Broken record here: Energy costs soar because of lack of cheap renewables generation, not because of it.
And no, Iran doesn't help. The answer to fossil price spikes every time a leader blows a fuse? Get off fossil fuels.
Fortunately we have had a many years ongoing priority to reduce transport inflation by having the mass movement of internal goods focused on rail fulled by renewable electricity.
(listens to earpiece) Oh No.
I'm a child of '73. We learnt this stuff the hard way over 50 years ago. Fossil fuel dependency kills economies.
No excuses. No LNG, no petrolhead stupidity. Adapt or die.
A good week to #ElectrifyEverything. Petrol stations, gas terminals, fuel crises? Not the future anyone needs.
What a fascinating video. If you are Gen X like me, then you'll probably recognize a lot of patterns here. And if you're working with Gen X employees, It will make sense of everything. 😂

Fuel Duty has been frozen, and therefore cut, for 15 years in the U.K, turbocharging transport emissions and starving local councils of grant funding to repair our crumbling roads.
It’s been a disaster and it’s beyond embarrassing that any mainstream party would campaign to maintain the freeze.
100%. Its embarassing how half-arsed our "solutions" to the country's biggest challenges are.
RNZ headline posted on Facebook reads "New Zealand faces shortage of ultra-luxury housing" on an image of a luxury home in an alpine setting. Subtitle reads "International premuim-grade homes priced more than $20m were scarce".
The funniest housing story I've seen in a while...
If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
Heres looking at you, Auckland

If only there were EV’s during the Iran Oil Crisis in the 70’s. A great vid by @rewiringaus.bsky.social 👌🚙

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth
PSA
Go fill up your car, then start thinking about an EV

Yep, thats why I am not subscribing to @stuff.co.nz. Website keeps begging, but nope
It's no surprise that Hannah Spencer won, this is what people want. Politicians who treat people (and greyhounds) with kindness and empathy.
Many in politics have forgotten about who they represent, US
A two track private light railway (basically a late 1800s LRT) became the busy quadruple track JR-Higashi Chuo Corridor we see today. Showing how continuous focused incremental upgrades over decades can really build out a system.
Labour third and quite far back in a seat they've held near continously since 1906 and which has been absafe seat since 1967 - utterly humiliating result
Labour were right in saying that this was a two-horse race between them and Reform. They just forgot to mention that the Greens were way out in front, leaving them both for dust 💚
