In Germany, the curb can charge your car. Developed by Rheinmetall, these electric vehicle charging points are integrated directly into sidewalk curbs, removing the need for conventional charging posts. The compact system delivers up to 22 kW while taking up virtually no additional sidewalk space.

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates!

"You're a NIMBY about AI data centers!" Actually I'm a NOMP (Not On My Planet) about privately-owned fixed-location infrastructure externalizing the cost of burning hydrocarbons for energy. If they had to pay what this really costs society in health and climate harms, they wouldn't do it.

ΛRT HΞΛVΞN: Happy birthday to German artist, and choreographer Oskar Schlemmer September 4, 1888—April 13, 1943 ❝One should act as if the world had just been created; one should not analyze a thing to death, but rather let it unfold gradually and with interference.❞‬

German artist, designer, and Bauhaus master Oskar Schlemmer posing in a striped jacket with a translucent glass-dome helmet piece from his avant-garde performance work The Triadic Ballet around 1925.

A dancer in a black-and-white optical-patterned, voluminous costume with a spiral hat, holding a fan, which resembles one of the famous abstract costume designs by Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer for his experimental performance Das Triadische Ballett (The Triadic Ballet).
