Life's so much better with an EV. Since moving to Portland my efficiency has grown from 3.7 mi/kWh to around 4.3 mi/kWh due to lower speed limits and gradual incline/declines. It's brought the range of my 5 year old EV up from 285 miles to ~330 miles while the cost to charge is half. Glorious!

Why can PEM symptoms be delayed? Prof Todd Davenport explains #PEM can start hours or days after physical, cognitive, emotional or sensory exertion. Like waves building towards high tide, repeated exertion before symptoms settle can cause effects to accumulate #LongCOVID @sunsopeningband.bsky.social

Some supermarkets in Thailand use banana leaves to wrap fresh food, replacing disposable plastics. This biodegradable alternative makes use of agricultural byproducts and reduces the environmental impact of conventional packaging.

Why do people with Long COVID and ME/CFS wake up unrefreshed, even when a standard sleep study looks close to normal? A 2026 study in the journal SLEEP points to the fine-grained structure of sleep itself.

The team at La Trobe University in Australia, including Drs Sarah Annesley & Daniel Missailidis, have published a study acknowledging funding from ME Research UK, which provides evidence of altered lipid metabolism in ME/CFS. Read more tinyurl.com/yv4mmvtn #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfs #CFS #PwME

"COVID fatigue linked to reduced brain blood flow" Brain scans found lower overall cerebral blood flow in people with Long COVID, especially in regions involved in attention, sensory processing and cognitive control. Lower blood flow was also linked to slower reaction times and concentration.

Uruguay, with 3.5 million people, generates 98% of its electricity from renewable sources. The architect of that transformation, Ramón Méndez Galain, put it simply: "The key is not technology; it is institutions. Once the rules are fair and predictable, the system builds itself."

Preliminary findings using a PET tracer targeting activated astrocytes suggest a potentially revealing neuroinflammatory profile in #ME/CFS, with effects concentrated in the default mode network and possible difficulty switching out of resting networks. Watch full video here: youtu.be/BBIRZvHPc5E

Japanese engineers develop a technique to recover and recycle 90% of Lithium from old EV batteries.

Japanese engineers have developed a new method to recover 90% of lithium from used electric vehicle batteries by swapping standard sodium hydroxide for recovered lithium hydroxide in the chemical refining process. In America, we are making it impossible to afford learning the skills to do this.
