Physics is a funny thing. A ~500 kg grand piano falls on you? Bad news. A 10 trillion kg black hole hits you traveling way faster? No big deal. 🧪
Looking for good news, I found this:
If you were struck by a microscopic black hole, the mass of a small asteroid, it'd be no worse than a gunshot. And such black holes are definitely too rare to have "any observable effects on the human population." 🔭🧪

Germany has about 8GW of balcony solar.
That's more than Ireland's entire generating capacity.

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

One of the absolute best kitchen shortcuts is risotto in a pressure cooker. It’s not as quite good as stovetop, but it’s close and orders of magnitude easier.
It makes it doable as a side on a weeknight, which is saying something for how much effort regular risotto is.

It wasn’t the cheapest childcare available, but I looked it up and in Jacksonville (hardly an expensive “major metro”) it was $330 a week for toddler care and $280 a week for 4-year-old care for our two the year before Florida’s state-paid pre-K kicked in for the older one
there's a lot to make fun of here but if you want to know why "universal pre-k" is such a big deal you should see the divide on the childcare bit between parents and non-parents
live in a major metro area? kids aren't in school yet and you gotta pay for preschool? the cost is truly unbelievable

It’s neither the lawful answer nor is it the oath they took.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

My latest: The Gators are staring down a historically bad record after a blowout loss to Tennessee. All orange and blue eyes are on Lane Kiffin, but it's best not to forget for a week that there still is a season going on.

Florida is officially all on Lane Kiffin Watch as team slides down the stretch | GatorCountry.com
The Florida Gators lost to Tennessee 31-11, their first defeat at the hands of the Volunteers at home in more than 20 years. The team has been inconsistent under interim head coach Billy Gonzales, with exemplary efforts against Georgia and Ole Miss interleaved with crushing losses to Kentucky and UT.

And yet 100+ teams that aren’t service academies do just that. On purpose! It’s madness.

I’ve seen a couple players I don’t recognize in this one: No. 39 Brayden Slade, a PWO DB who’s only previously played 6 snaps against an FCS team, and No. 82 on the punt shield, who looks like a refrigerator with arms and legs (there is no 82 on the roster, must be someone in a STs-only jersey)

Something like a quarter of the roster is on the injury report, most of them out, so that doesn’t help. But also, Roberts has the same problem Napier does in that he runs what he runs with little tactical adjustment. Opponents have figured that out and no one can force him to change apparently
