@ai6yr @breadandcircuses and even for the few #EdgeCase|s where it wouldn't make sense to have an on-call minibus/minivan/compact car/carsharing/taxi option but need personal cars with no alternatives in sight, wouldn't it make sense to build #smol & #efficient instead of monstrosities so phat their deadweight exceeds the MGW of my EU Class B driving license because the manufacturer gave up trying to make something affordable for #millenials and instead only csters to rich #Boomers who have older Class 3 / C1E permits and don't mind driving around 4t of metal and rare earth elements as long as they can get in and out easily.

Toward a Universal Energy Tax

The universal language of measuring and tracking energy is kWh and Joules. kWh and J translate, one into the other. They are measured applied, tracked, and used everywhere. That is why they make such a good metrics for applying a universal #climate #tax.

UNIVERSAL ENERGY TAX applied across the board would simplify policy and trade agreements from local to international scales; between local districts to citiwide, from cities to counties, from counties to states, from states to nations, to international trade agreements.

At the same time favoring and funding the most #efficient energy sources expansion, #conservation, and #Climatechange #mitigation and solution projects. It would apply equally to #coal, #tarsands, #fracked #naturalGas as well as #GreenEnergy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and thermal.

This is due to the efficiency fallacy. And we need to get a handle on it.

Efficiency is a one-word double-bind, paralyzing thought and peoples' capacity for reason. Some people define efficient as "minimal" and others define it as "optimal" ...

If you want to see the best light, you should close your eyes up to the point of a small slit. Minimize to maximize. It's the same with computing. Only good software will still perform on simple, low power hardware. #efficient #computing

@paulbusch 31% is still *WAY* too much coal IMHO, but it's a huge improvement for a place that used to be 70% Coal burning just 10 years ago. (all of which was imported from South America) 😱 #efficient

@denki @KarlHeinzHasliP I will keep it simply because I can't really afford a new one and because it's already there and works fine!

If it was broken beyond repairability & being able to get it through tech inspection, that story would be different, but yeah...

As for smaller vehicles I do propose that for the (hopefully fewer and fewer) edge-cases where #PublicTransport just won't cut it, that we go #smol as in #PersonalLightVehicle and thus more #efficient!

Hold your horses, #JavaScript wizards of 2025! Apparently, the 'revolutionary' concept of #efficient array transformations is still a #groundbreaking #discovery. 🚀💡 Next, we might learn that #electric #cars don't need horseshoes! 🐴🔧

En une (longue) journée, j'ai pu :

- échanger avec un responsable #asbl désirant comprendre les coûts RH de ses collègues pour garantir leurs #emplois jusqu'en 2026 afin de rendre son modèle économique #robuste et #efficient
- entendre un prof #universitaire de #finance affirmer "que pour accroître les dividendes des actionnaires, réduire les coûts fixes doit rester une option à envisager"

Deux individus, deux secteurs, deux logiques, une domination, un effroi.

"Ach, wie gut das niemand weiß, das ich manchmal Tischler heiß!"

Nachdem meine Frau mich gebeten hat an ihrem lieblings Tischchen ein loses Bein wieder zu befestigen, musste eine kreative Einspannung fürs Verleimen gefunden werden.
Die zwei Zwingen an den Seiten waren schnell gefunden, nur leider hatte ich keine um die zwei vorherigen zusammen zu ziehen.
Nur gut das ich etwas Leine und ein "Stöckchen" hatte. Damit kann man auch etwas spannen.
