Got my best results yet with home milled, 100% whole wheat sourdough. The trick was separating the bran and scalding it, then developing a lot of gluten prior to re-including it.

Cyclospora cases increase as safe and sanitary working conditions deteriorate. Immigration enforcement has made it harder to organize/advocate for migrant workers and more likely for companies to take advantage of their present vulnerability to ICE and state violence.

Has anyone written about the likely connection between the cyclospora outbreak and ICE/ immigration enforcement?

Excellent news! Heat pump sales up by 32% over gas furnaces in 2026! Heat pumps are much more efficient than fossil fuels. That translates into long-term savings. #EnergySky 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋

Sadly I’d expect system weight to win. Physics is a drag.

Next time I’d eliminate the rye and einkorn, reduce the gluten-eviserating buckwheat and sesame by a bit, and try not to overproof 😂 (forcing me out of preferred batard form and into loaf pans). Recipe: bakebook.chat/innonate/rec...

This sourdough flavor combination is insane and pairs perfectly with honey butter: red miso + toasted buckwheat groats + black sesame and a hint of crushed fennel as inclusions. Dough is 50% whole wheat, 25% whole einkorn and 25% whole rye.

50/50 whole spelt / whole einkorn sourdough challah. Tried a 4 braid and got disoriented by the end of it. Much to improve on but can’t wait to try it! Shabbat shalom, yall.

It’s so important to remember that the crypto bros want the American dollar and American treasuries to fail. They have staked their fortunes and reputations on a definitionally anti-American outcome, which is why they are pro-fascist and cheer on this chaos.

Do you genuinely believe there’s a material enough number of them to make a difference? That disillusionment needs also to convert into action. Feels like a small subset of a small subset.

For me the emotional potency of the East Wing destruction is simple: it’s physical evidence of this nightmare that won’t be undone. An indelible scar. Perhaps one day we just turn it into a museum about how we almost lost the Republic.

Yeah the humidity benefits? Hadn’t considered. To be clear I wasn’t sharing to one up or contradict the research you shared, just cool to me (pun intended) that what I observed at the individual level can be quantified at the city level.

Totally under appreciated benefit of urban solar. I wrote a bit about my personal discovery of this (infrared photos included) in the middle of this post: innonate.com/2024/05/21/1...

If billionaires actually cared about climate change they would fund green banks in every state as well as a national green bank. It should be done by the federal government but this is easily the easiest thing for a billionaire to do to step in right now.

Has anything slowed the energy transition more than the interconnection queue? Not even interest rates have been so devastating to goal of moving quickly and fixing things. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/economy/clea...
S&P Global found that it takes requests in PJM’s queue around 38 months to get to grid connection, the shortest time of all grid operators but still too long for some.

People who have the means and acumen to own / drive BEVs but choose ICE cars anyways are sinners and deserve harsh judgement. Related: Subaru drivers are the worst because 75% fall into this category.

BTW my methodology/algorithm to spot these things is fairly crude: I parse the EnergyStar dataset and look at who the "ENERGY STAR Partner" is for a given "Outdoor Unit Brand Name." That "Partner" is always the OEM. Then I look at models with the exact same specs/performance from that Partner.

Not remembering all details from that research but I believe ACiQ white labels from both Carrier and their parent company, Brock Air Products, which appears to have multiple other brands (MRCOOL perhaps the best known). Oddly it seems they use Carrier both on the high and low end of performance.

Extremely easy prediction to make: JD Vance will quickly become persona non grata in Trump orbit. The broligarchs are being way too overt about wanting Trump out and JD in. Easy to get rid of your DOGEdaddy but not a VP. Will be so ugly.
