There is no context and nothing specific, as the headline makes it seem. He is just putting out phrases in an interview:

"Wars develop in phases," Stoltenberg said [...]

"We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times," he said.

"We should also be prepared for bad news,” Stoltenberg added [...]

[...] Stoltenberg said. “The more we support the Ukraine, the faster the war will end."

I'm a layman when it comes to solar installations, but I read a bit into the topic, as I want an installation on my balcony next year.

I read that partial shadows on the panels are the worst due to the connection in series of the individual plates. There are rows or even loops connected on a panel and with a part of that connected series covered in shadow, it results in a fraction of the power output. A tiny shadow results in a huge loss.

If that is your garden, you should fix that to avoid shadows onto each other.

There was an article on Washington Post last week explaining COP28 and details around it. Also the reason for the location:

Why is an oil kingdom hosting COP28?

The United Nations rotates the location of COPs each year through five regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Western Europe. This year, it was the Asia-Pacific group’s turn to host, and the United Arab Emirates made an unopposed bid in May 2021.

This is the new shoot and scoot automatic in action.

This reads like an onion article. How did they not have to detect and fix their self-inflicted methane leaks so far?

[...]for the first time, require oil and gas producers to detect and fix leaks of methane.

It was the most ambitious move to reduce fossil fuel emissions that President Biden’s administration was expected to unveil at the summit,[...]

This is the most ambitious move? While extracting natural gas, they create methane leaks. So far they were ignored? And now someone had the ambitious idea to no longer ignore them? How is this reality and not satire?

Do you have any information why and why now?

If I remember correctly, last year in autumn, Ukraine was pushing before winter and before some rain and mud would make everything more difficult or even impossible from the logistics side. Made a lot of sense to me.

But I have seen videos from a few weeks ago and due to heavy rains, there was mud everywhere. Looking at the temperatures in eastern Ukraine, it's not frozen yet.

Why is Russia pushing now? And they get >1000 for two(?) weeks already. Is there any event that could explain this? Elections in Russia? Some 2023 deadline where they want to show a victory on TV?

Yeah this chapter loops back to 1072: The Weight of Memory https://tcbscans.com/chapters/5603/one-piece-chapter-1072-review-1688718749

Bonney finds the paw shaped bubble with Kuma memories on Egghead, touches it and sees Kuma's memories. So definitely Kuma removed his own memories with the paw ability into the storage bubble before he became a robot. Bonney saw the past and we saw bits in the chapter and a later one as well. We haven't seen all the sacrifices Kuma made for her, but Bonney probably saw that too.

Every chapter, there is more suffering for Kuma. I had a friend guess already a few chapters ago, that 'Kuma will die next chapter after so much bad things happen to him', and here he is, suffering once more.

I'm not sure where this will lead, e.g. Kuma might have gotten a Saturn order on the past panel to go an kill Bonney. As kind of a test if he functions properly, if Vegapunk did his work right and to finally get rid of Bonney. But Bonney is still alive, so maybe not everything from Kuma was extracted into the paw bubble on Egghead. Just guessing here what might come.

But Kuma could be revived with memories and reunited at the end – or Oda just lets him die after all the suffering in life.

I think there are also different mentalities. Just last winter, I had a similar discussion, where someone explained to me that the room heating is meant to fully offset the temperature, so he can walk summer and winter in shorts, t-shirt and barefoot. So it's 23°C in winter.

While I'm used to wearing jogging pants and socks indoor during winter, so 18°C is fine for me.

Then again, you also have to adjust for personal preferences, different sex, different heating infrastructure etc. But 23°C to go shorts and barefoot in winter was an extreme reveal to me, that people do something like this as well.

It's just a bait title, further down they write about 'softcore porn'. Isn't that used in the USA for erotic scenes and nudity in movies? Depending on the state, it could even be Dirty Dancing or other romantic movies in their playlist.

More and more business in Sweden are refusing to work with Tesla. Suing will surely solve this problem. Big brain move there.

But that is also a lesson we all learned in life at some point. The moment you share information like that or even ask for permission, you share the responsibility. That other person might not like being (partially) responsible and therefore simply say no.

I once had a leg injury, felt good about doing a tour on the bicycle, as short distances were no problem. So I asked my doctor back then if it was OK. That moment, I shared the responsibility for my health. With my doctor being involved and a very small risk for further injury being present, he of course had no choice but to say no. No bicycle riding at all. In hindsight, not asking would have been the better option, as any risks were super small and riding worked fine. Yet, I put the burden on someone else to carry the responsibility with me instead of me alone.

tl;dr He just should have done it without saying anything. Big PR move with a spinning Ferrari going around the world... instead of this now.
