FreeCAD 26.3 Release Candidate 2 is out, with the fixes made since RC1. Regressions against 1.1 are the most useful thing you can report right now. Not for production work. Download: github.com/FreeCAD/Free... What's new: wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_26.3 #FreeCAD #CAD #CAM #FEM #BIM #Maker

how many times have we heard " how much diesel wa s used to mine for the battery???" so there! fortunately, many people other than whinging, are working on solutions even aussie mining companies youtu.be/-4h51jp327U ps.. Gina also runs her mines on ever more renewables...

Listen to that CRUNCH. Absolutely delicious. #WorldBollardAssociation

AEMO has changed its thinking about the ability of grid forming inverters to satisfy minimum system strength needs – a major step forward given the high cost of syncons https://reneweconomy.com.au/a-turning-point-for-grid-forming-inverters-in-australias-grid-transition-plan/

Electric trucks work very well. Monster torque means no slowing on hills. And up to 700km range at GCM! Volvo Electroc trucks in Oz and seen @everythingelectric.bsky.social Sydney.

The cheapest new car in Oz is an EV! Destroyed the myth that EVs are only for “the rich”. If you don’t want to buy new. The second hand market is full of far cheaper EVs.

In Scotland, new rules are being introduced to require “swift bricks” in new buildings, a small change that creates nesting spaces and helps birds coexist with urban life. Original post

Love my little old laptop. Bought it second hand for a couple hundred bucks and it's been worth every cent (once I'd deleted windows and installed Linux). I gave Ubuntu a Windows skin though so it looks the same, it just runs fast now. I figured that way I'll manage to annoy both camps at once. 😁

Battery electric vehicle share of the car market rose past 30% in the EU in August beating any suggestion that appetite for EVs is waning. There were 203,000 electric cars registered in 16 of EUs key markets, a 54% increase on the same month in 2025 www.electrifying.com/blog/article... #ActOnClimate

sad to see, i remember learning to ski when the season would regularly be over 2 mtrs, even saw a 3 mtr season. now 1 mtr seems to be the norm.

Solar farms usually need large stretches of open land. India found another place to put them: directly above water that was already flowing through irrigation canals.The idea took shape in Gujarat. #ActOnClimate #Renewables #ClimateActionNow #solarpower

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "the thinning of low clouds ... amplifies global warming through a feedback loop: Rising sea-surface temperatures lead to fewer clouds, meaning less reflected sunlight and a warmer planet." phys.org/news/2026-07...

As of July 19th update, the Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature is now more than 3.7 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean. With the warming just getting started, this El Nino is still in charted territory, but just barely.

Oh no. it appears EVs are NOT a fad. with EV registrations now being the dominant car type in Germany! looks like Diesel is becoming the fad.. www.adac.de/news/neuzula...

My latest video, showing monthly global surface temperature anomalies from January, 1880 through June, 2026. The anomaly is with respect to the 1951-1980 baseline, which on average is about 0.32°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. Data: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/data...

Bought a refurb Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (Gen2 w/AMD processor, 16 GB RAM) $400 CDN (~290 US) +tax. It had Win11 on it... of course :/ Dual boot? LOL. (No Mr. Gates, I expect Windows to DIE >;) Installed Ubuntu 26.04 (pre-release) and have been tweaking settings. It just updated to the new art! :D

Countries, communities, people respond inconsistently to quantified risks. @rahmstorf.bsky.social points out that a community might pass on a nuclear plant but countries can't organize to address a 50% risk (he estimates) that Atlantic currents that warm Europe disappear.

Today I’m grateful for modern life. Thomas Hobbes' 1651 book "Leviathan" talks about the past: "In such condition, there is no place for industry… no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
