gloom

gloom

Channel motto: Life is pain, only potato. For sharing gloomy poasting, whining, abd complaining. The more apocalyptic or petty the better. It’s always darkest before it turns pitch black.

Had to creep slowly across/around a big tree across the road down from a big wind event last night Nothing like the Euro outage, still feels like solidarity wrt fragile infrastructure - - - - “The tl;dr of the power outage thing: - It started in Spain - Portugal and France partially impacted, they're bordering countries with interconnects BBC tracker: bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd Power outage at 11:32am in Spain, marked in red - the frequency fell, likely things shut down to protect themselves, will need safe restarts, takes a few hours. Not a doomsday thing, in basically all cases like this it's a squirrel or some such. — https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114415495874763376

All of the accessible content on AMOC collapse is a bit histrionic (and I’m too lazy to read papers) But this was the best one I’ve found so far — fascinating how salt plays a major transport role in both the human body and the planetary body TL;DW — Earth needs Brawndo https://youtu.be/GDy7Q8iAtFg

Raccoons are cute, until they live in the ceiling above your bed, and scratch and bite at the walls while you sleep.
