Go solar, lunar cooling!
Build a big'un on the moon!

Surviving the lunar night can be a challenge for astronauts on the moon

"Due to the lack of a moderating atmosphere, temperatures on the lunar surface can range from 248 degrees Fahrenheit (120 Celsius) during the day to minus 292 F (minus 180 C) during the night. "

#2  Curve-fit that data - to my eye it looks like it was exponential but is topping out to a linear trend.

#3  I saw recently that when AI goes live it could consume up to 25% of the power grid in the US.
In one new condo, 5 over 2 or 3 construction. If all EVs are plugged in at night, the garage will consume more power than all the condos above combined. First project I’ve seen with a EV service in every stall.

In Mexico, the Popocatepetl volcano emitted steam and ash nine times
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Popocatepetl volcano, located 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, became active on March 10, spewing steam and ash nine times. This was reported by the National Center for the Prevention of Natural Disasters (CENAPRED).

“The center reports the activity of the Popocatépetl volcano over the last 24 hours: nine eruptions, 1394 minutes of high-frequency low-amplitude volcanic tremors,” CENAPRED said in a statement.

It is clarified that at the moment the safety zone around the crater is 12 kilometers, and it is unsafe to be in it. The temperature of the stones and hot fragments that the volcano throws out is about 1000 degrees Celsius. It is noted that the alarm level has been raised to the second phase of the yellow level. CENAPRED has warned tourists and climbers about the dangers of approaching the Popocatépetl crater.

The volcanic traffic light in Mexico has three alarm levels divided into phases.

Popocatepetl is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Mexico and is one of the symbols of the Latin American country. Its name is translated from the Aztec language as “smoking mountain”; the height of the volcano above sea level is 5393 meters.
[17693.57 ft. Taller than the Rockies]
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that Popocatepetl became active in November 2023, throwing out a column of ash and steam to a height of about six kilometers. Tourists were advised not to approach the volcano.

In the summer of 2022, on the slope of the volcano, a group of five climbers was covered by an ejection of ash and volcanic rocks, one person died.
[pretty hot stuff]

FDNY Firefighters Who Booed Tyrant AG Letitia James Ordered to Surrender or Risk Being Hunted Down ‐ Will Face Punishment and Reeducation
[Gateway] Members of the New York Fire Department (FDNY) who are fed-up with Trump-hating fascist attorney general Letitia James during a recent promotion ceremony are now facing severe consequences.
This story posted to encourage our lagging New York, Vermont, Maine, CA, WA, Oregon, CT, DE, MD, Northern VA, and DC readership. We will of course keep you posted on the pending man-hunt, arrests, and imprisonments.

We know you enjoy reading Deep State, Letitia James, and Fani Willis success stories. We are here for you.
The Gateway Pundit first reported the incident wherein a wave of boos and chants supporting President Trump overshadowed the event.

A large group of firefighters made their stance perfectly clear during Thursday’s New York Fire Department (FDNY) promotion ceremony regarding James’s inquisition of President Trump.

After honoring FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, James’s speech was effectively drowned out by LOUD pro-Trump chants in the crowd. She struggles a bit to find her words amidst the commotion.

You can also hear a few boos and heckles from the crowd as well in the video.

Upon beginning her speech, many in the crowd loudly booed James. The triggered attorney general responded to the dissenters by saying "Come on, we’re in a house of God...simmer down," according to Newsweek.

James should look in the mirror and take her own advice. Her treatment of Trump is certainly not God-approved.

In response to the incident, FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh has initiated a hunt for those responsible for the outburst. FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges sent an email to the department’s leadership, stating that the Bureau of Investigation and Trials (BITS) would be conducting an investigation into the matter.

He urged those involved to come forward voluntarily, implying that consequences would be less severe for those who did not wait to be "hunted down."

"BITS is investigating this so they will figure out who the members are. I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the Commissioner It will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down," the email reads.

#8  Commissioner claims the official response is not political but to stop the rude responses that were in violation of department policy. I can actually approve that argument in principle but it is never impartially enforced.

#9  LOL, you think this witch hunt will end well? What you going to do if the ENTIRE FDNY quits? FDNY are well trained and can easily find jobs in places where real people live.

#10  FDNY are well trained and can easily find jobs in places where real people live.

Florida is offering bonuses to police who move down there — I bet they’d be happy to get trained firepeople, too.

#12  /\ Stay away from these SOB's, you'll only lose. Possibly lose your house, car, everything else just fighting or appealing a ruling. Even if you eventual win on appeal, you still lose your arse due to legal fees.

Of course, that is their goal.

Do they know something we don't? American titans Jeff Bezos, Leon Black, Mark Zuckerberg, Jamie Dimon and Walmart's Walton family sell a staggering $11 BILLION in stock - as billionaires cash out before looming election

They saw what happened when Russia went to war.

#2  Could be a loss of faith in the stock market if Trump wins or could be a need to get some assets out of reach of a Trump run gummint.

#6  First Rule of Prepping-Never talk about it . A good friend who is ex-SF once mentioned the topic and I asked what he might be doing. He said noth much really and added simply, "I have a lot of ammunition and a list of people like you."

#7  Do they know something we don't? Count on it. Made good money playing the stock market some years ago based on insider transactions. Even if all they know is that their 'bribes' are costing more...

#8  Hopefully those evils bastards are planning to store it in bars in their bunkers. It will make recovering the assets less messy after we bury the air supply intakes.
