Using hot lava would be crazy dangerous. But there are ways to tap volcanic heat to make electricity.
To harness the energy, engineers drill wells down into the magma and bring steam to the surface, where it is goes into power plants to spin turbines and generate electricity.

Update on migrating away from #Fitbit (did I mention that? I can't remember).
The excellent #fitbit2garmin by simonepri (github.com/simonepri/fitbit2ga…) is a #python script whichexported all my #tcx files without error (confirmed by my importing them to #Garmin). It also appears to have exported all my other logs too, but I haven't checked the contents of those files.
I created my own fork (github.com/goetzk/fitbit2garmi…) because I saw some others had issues but didn't end up needing to make any substantial changes - just a few #documentation and style tweaks.
Between that output and Fitbits official export I hope to have saved all my data and I'll be able to delete my Fitbit account soon.

The Supreme Contradictions of Simone Weil | The New Yorker
#philosophy #politics #socialism
“Eminent theologians have revered Weil (Paul Tillich, Thomas Merton, Pope Paul VI), and so have writers of the first rank, especially women (Hannah Arendt, Ingeborg Bachmann, Anne Carson, Flannery O’Connor, Susan Sontag). Albert Camus hailed her as “the only great spirit of our time.” T. S. Eliot credited her with a “genius akin to that of the saints.” But Weil herself might have objected to these consecrations as a form of “idolatry,” which she defined as a misguided thirst for “absolute good.”…”

Trump just REPEATED his crazy lie that schools do #GenderChanging operations on kids.
We must use this pattern against him.
1) He makes crazy comment
2) His surrogates & staff say "What he meant was.. "
3) The media #sanewash the comment & leave out the crazy detail. LIKE THIS HEADLINE "Trump taps into culture war issues, seeks to energize base at Moms for Liberty event"
When he doubles down on a crazy comment that's our cue to repeat it.
VS the MSM's response "the base loves it."

"When CNN asked the campaign on Monday for any evidence of a school deciding to send a child into gender-affirming surgery without parental consent, the campaign could not provide any. Instead, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt pivoted away from Trump’s specific assertion – emailing a series of articles related to the broader debate about transgender minors, schools, and parental consent."
