@moultano Ah, but have you tried forchess: https://t.co/PpDP8BuOVb

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

@moultano https://t.co/9AEUju2qx2 basically this?

GOODNESS: 2PM EDT Intermediate Advisory from NHC raises Hurricane Melissa to 175 MPH sustained winds, gusts of 190 MPH. Pressure of 906 mb is in the top 5 lowest ever. This is going to be a historically catastrophic weather event in Jamaica Tuesday.

Here are the words Trump doesn't want you to see:

“When someone says, ‘Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,’ it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products... Markets shrink and collapse, industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.” - Ronald Reagan

Know anyone who lives in GA and can vote to help us get more solar in the grid mix? https://t.co/LbqR2fMgYL

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

@moultano Solar panels are surprisingly heavy and at the angles you want them at, they are essentially wings. The structures holding them up have to support high wind loads even if it only happens once every 10 years. The structures are therefore expensive.

@moultano As with tariffs, it's the employees that will pay (with reduced wages).

I tried something like this for recipes. I dumped a list of cabinet stock ingredients into a file and asked Claude to invent recipes for me from stuff I had on hand, making a cookbook out of markdown as it went along. Worked pretty well, though I'm a pretty simple cook.

In my newsletter I wrote about how I am using Claude Code for non-coding work, and why it’s been a positive discontinuity in my experience with AI capabilities.

We know you've heard of a volcano...but how about a volnado?

This afternoon, during episode 32 fountaining at Kīlauea the V3 live camera (https://t.co/tCc5xGmMcO) caught this whirlwind kicking up loose ash deposits along the active fountain and flow within Halemaʻumaʻu crater.

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

@DanielParker_13 @moultano Agree if the cost was negligible to toss panels on top of a car, why not? At that point though we hopefully have tons of excess solar capacity anyway.

I'd estimate that best case (full sun, good angle) a car panel would add ~5 miles of travel per day of sun.

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

@strataforma @moultano Vehicle mounted solar panels have problems: they are heavy and fragile. Shaping to a curve adds cost. You will rarely park or drive with them facing at an optimal angle in full sun. If the car battery is full, they are not producing power.

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

@strataforma @moultano The point being that if you have the resources to install a solar panel on the car, then those same resources are generally going to be able to install more total solar generating capacity in a fixed location instead.

@cramforce The ultimate test is a thick milkshake.

[Greg Grothaus @gregable]

Let's hope this is just an outlier, but I suspect it's just the start.

Another way to visualize just how unusual Beryl is - this is the cumulative count of storms at/above an intensity comparable to Beryl within 1500 miles of its current location.

Not only is it the earliest on record, nearly all such known storms happened beyond mid-August.

Hello, Earth, meet Home Planet Fund. It’s a new nonprofit that will spend every dollar it receives from donors supporting local and Indigenous communities that know how to prevent climate chaos. https://t.co/Va0EtITHi8

This is incredible.

From @Jamie_Lane where AirBnBs are fully booked next week.
