D'oh! Not a good idea to do that in the middle of #Southend anyway, even less so when there's a fat copper in hi vis *immediately behind you* (even in a plain car the #Roads #Policing Unit #officers have to wear uniform to prove they are actual old bill and not some random walt who bought blue lights off Ebay). I guess he doesn't look in the rear mirror much..

I also LOVE the framing. "allowing foreign operatives". As if he just uncovered a grand conspiracy. 
BRO! #Wikipedia has been an #international project like forever. Of course there are non-US people writing. That's the point! The point of Wikipedia is to NOT be the mouthpiece of ANY nation.

I submitted a request online to my employer's EAP eight days ago asking for a referral to someone who could advise on a financial matter.
No response as of today, so I called them on the phone to find out the status.
…which is apparently that my request wasn't entered properly into their system and if I hadn't called it never would have been handled.

#solaredge ist auch so eine Firma, die zu schnell gewachsen ist und dann die guten Leute verloren hat.
Der Support ist unterirdisch schlecht mit langen Antwortzeiten.
Es gibt mehrere Setup-Apps für Elektriker, die teilweise defekte Konfigurationen erzeugen.
Und dann ist da die Lüftersteuerung der #Inverter noch vollkommen defekt und erzeugt nervige Geräusche statt einfach nur sauber wegzulüften.

Fossil Fuel Companies 'poisoned the well' of public Debate with Climate Disinformation.
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order that would block state laws seeking to tackle greenhouse gas emissions — the latest salvo in his administration's campaign to roll back the United State’s climate action.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-climate-state-laws-executive-order
![Scientists first warned against burning fossil fuels way back in the 1950s. When the US Clean Air Act was passed in 1970, the words "weather" and "climate" were included because scientists had already explained to Congress that carbon dioxide was a pollutant with serious [even dire] effects.

In the late 1980s, scientists at NASA observed changes in the climate system that could only be explained by the extra heating effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The predictions had become reality.
<https://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/24/us/global-warming-has-begun-expert-tells-senate.html>
Over the next three decades, whenever any meaningful climate policy seemed to be gaining traction, the industry and its allies lobbied Congress and state legislatures to block it. So, neither Democratic nor Republican administrations were able to undertake meaningful climate action.
⚠️While people were dying in climate-charged floods and fires, the fossil fuel industry persuaded a significant proportion of the US population, including Trump, that the whole thing might just be a hoax.⚠️

Under Trump, the US has clearly abdicated climate leadership. But the US has in fact obstructed climate action for decades — largely due to damaging actions by the powerful fossil fuel industry.
“In 20 years studying attacks on climate science and the powerful forces at work behind the scenes, I've come to think the United States is simply not going to lead on climate action. The fossil fuel industry has so poisoned the well of public debate in the US that it's unlikely the nation will lead on the issue in our lifetimes.”
Trump has undoubtedly been bad news for global climate action. He makes preposterous claims about science and is dismantling the federal agencies responsible for supporting climate science and maintaining climate data.

“Human Interest” is terrible
Several years ago I worked for a company which outsourced management of their 401k to Human Interest. It was… not a positive experience. I don't remember all the details—I've worked pretty hard to forget them since they were so unpleasant—but suffice it to say that it was my impression that they weren't terribly good at any aspect of the work they needed to do as a company.
