Many things just happened worldwide. Why assume that everyone is this preoccupied with the American election? That said, I did not notice what community this was on. It just popped up on my feed, and the realist in me felt that i had to add this comment. It is not about politics, hope or anything in particular. The lecture that I mention was about the climate, and in particular about the AMOC current in the atlantic ocean. It is an unstable system in itself, that affects a wide range of other unstable systems such as:

The Greenland Ice Sheet
West Antarctic Ice Sheet
The Amazon Rainforest
The Boreal Permafrost

None of it was about the american politics and the recent ellection. I wouldn't even call that an unstable system to be fair!

I found it relevant, as the definition of tipping points is, that you can't always revert from the point past the tipping point.

Woah dude! How did you turn this into american politics? The world is a big place. Not everyone cares about what is going on there. There are many unstable systems that statistics try to explain and understand.

Just yesterday, I went to a lecture about "tipping points" and if there is one thing that stuck from it, it is that at some point it no longer is possible to revert, and it can no longer get better (or worse depending on pov) once the unstable system has settled into one of the stable conditions

Having a frozen lasagne is better than taking the full effort when...

Last month i made two lasagnas in one day and had none of it. I cut them up in pieces and froze them into 24 pieces. Now we have home made lasagna for those days where we dont feel like cooking dinner. It really does not need to take too much time and if you enjoy it, there is no need to not do it.

Was it the one about women having to show their husbands ID to vote in Indianapolis that made you post this meme?

The view would have been better if they left them on the uprights instead of dismantling them

 

Dyrehavsbakken, is located approximately 10km North of Copenhagen Denmark.

Interestingly, Copenhagen has the third oldest operating amusement park Tivoli, that opened in 1843 (180 years ago)
Here is an overview shot of Tivoli in the center of Copenhagen

Built as a royal hunting lodge in the early 18th century
Today, the Palace of Stupinigi houses the Museo di Arte e Ammobiliamento, a museum of the arts and furnishings, some original to the palazzina, others brought from the former Savoy family residences of Moncalieri and Venaria Reale

Rimini - Italy (lemmy.world)

I only noticed today, due to the Tour de France finishing there, but Rimini has some huge beaches! Also they seem to have constructed some sort of wave breaker, to give calmer waters for visitors (?). It does look amazin from a distance

Slightly furhter north, still in Rimini, but on the other side of "Porto di Rimini" the beaches get even larger!

ORP Wicher ORP Wicher (English: Whirlwind) was a Project 30bis destroyer, transferred to the People's Republic of Poland from the Soviet Union in 1958.[2] She was built by the Zhdanov shipyard in Leningrad and originally commissioned into the Soviet Baltic Fleet as the Skoryy ("Rapid") in 1951, and transferred to Poland in 1958 together with a second ship, ORP Grom.

ORP Grom was the lead ship of her class of destroyers serving in the Polish Navy during World War II. She was named after the Polish word for Thunderbolt, while her sister ship ORP Błyskawica translates to lightning

 

Waiting for the presidential debate feels like waiting for a train to crash. But how bad can it be?

What are your guesses at what will happen? I am curious to compare the answers to what actually happens tonight

Testsing and development of components and systems for commercial solar thermal power plants. The aim is to make solar thermal power plants more efficient. They also test processes for solar water splitting, the production of solar fuels and the use of solar heat in industrial processes.

More than 2,000 movable mirrors (heliostats) cover an area of around ten hectares in front of Jülich's two solar towers. They catch the sunlight, concentrate it and direct it onto the two solar towers.

In the solar tower power plant, a volumetric receiver at the top of the tower absorbs the concentrated sunlight and uses it to heat the surrounding air to up to 700 degrees Celsius. A steam generator inside the tower uses this to heat water into steam, which drives a turbine that produces electricity via a generator.
