jfc i am thinking i installed too many solar panels, it is march and the (smallish) battery is full from 11h

Andy Wingo @wingolog.org · 03/03/2026
something i didn’t appreciate before getting solar panels is how little a household consumes, if the heat pump and car charger are off
my app telling me the panels are making 4.8kW, the battery is full, the house is using 200W, the rest is going to the grid

« racism is bad. in the same way trade unions are bad » is quite a take
copy of page 173 of paperback « globalists » by slobodian, discussing economist william h hutt : « At its core, Hutt argued, racism is a form of rent-seeking analogous to trade unions defending their own privilege against the entry of nonwhite workers. "The chief source of colour discrimination," Hutt sug-gested, was "to be found in the natural determination to defend economic privilege". In his reading, racism was not of the market but outside of-and in opposition to-the market. In a review, fellow MPS member Enoch Powell praised Hutt's book as a testament that "the market economy.... is the most effective enemy of discrimination between individuals, classes and races.

me, sobbing: you can’t just nod sagely and invoke uneven and combined development tooze, pointing at monkey shortages:
excerpt from latest tooze chart book about monkey shortages:

Culture wars over the science establishment, Robert Kennedy Jr, China-US, Campodia, supply chains, the COVID shock .... Here we are well and truly in the world of uneven and combined development. In the end perhaps the lesson here is that though Trump's obsession with Greenland may still be a stretch, what expresses itself in the gyrations of lab monkey prices is, indeed, the polycrisis of our age.
