Economists talk about dependency ratio: working age population relative to the elderly and the young they need to support.

But they don’t talk about the dependency ratio of workers to net worth.

What does a national economy look like if it didn’t have to support people with net worth over $500 million?

What would it do to the dependency ratio if hierarchy was included?

A new report from global energy think tank Ember says
🔥batteries have officially hit the price point that lets solar power deliver affordable electricity almost every hour of the year in the sunniest parts of the world

Chuck Darwin reshared this.

my relatives have solar and battery storage at their country house in a rural part of Mid Suffolk.

They lost grid power for over an hour during daytime - whole house stayed on supply mostly via solar - the battery reserve was barely touched and my cousin didn't even need to turn off his gaming PC (which uses a fair bit of power) and switch to a laptop to reduce the load, there was enough to keep everything going for quite a while..



Help Echo, a disabled trans woman flee texas, especially with the changes that have occurred in the state due to the election result. She does not feel safe in Texas anymore and would need our help to migrate to a safer state. She is also unable to work due to her disability. All donated money would be used for relocation and to find shelter.

Goal: 1430/10000

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Cartoon Cat Coffee Cup. I like how this cat appears to be exhausted from thinking about nothing at all. Anyone with cats can testify to how incredibly accurate that is.

Sounds of loud explosions have been heard over Doha shortly after Qatar closed its airspace.

Iran has fired missiles toward the US base in Qatar following Tehran’s threat to retaliate against the US’ strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Iran media says the retaliation against the United States base Al Udeid in Qatar and American bases in Iraq has begun.

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem has more from the Iranian capital Tehran.

A imagem é uma meme composta por três quadros, cada um com uma expressão facial e texto em português. No primeiro quadro, um personagem com óculos e uma expressão séria, com um ícone da bandeira dos Estados Unidos sobre a testa, diz: "vamos atacar o Irã pq eles têm armas nucleares." No segundo quadro, outro personagem com cabelo curto e barba, usando uma jaqueta de couro, responde: "e pq vc não ataca a Rússia?" No terceiro quadro, o primeiro personagem, com a bandeira dos EUA ainda sobre a testa, responde com uma expressão exasperada: "tá doido? eles têm armas nucleares." A imagem utiliza uma conversa hipotética para satirizar a política de armas nucleares, com um tom humorístico e crítico.

A devastating overnight attack in Kyiv has killed at least 16 people and wounded over 110 more.

This is just the latest in Russia's intensified offensive that has made April the deadliest month since last September.

Right now, 5 million Ukrainian refugees are scattered across Europe,
while 3.7 million people remain displaced inside their own country.

Families are fleeing for their lives as attacks spread across eastern, southern and northeastern regions.

UNHCR is on the ground supporting evacuation efforts, providing emergency shelter, cash assistance and protection services. But the need keeps growing.

You can help.

Donate now and help deliver lifesaving assistance within 72 hours to those fleeing violence in Ukraine.

At this harrowing moment, your compassion makes a tangible difference.

Some career changes involve small shifts. But for one NASA engineering intern, the leap was much bigger –moving from under the hood of a car to helping air taxis take to the skies.

The image is a screenshot of a satellite map interface from the NASA FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System) application. The map displays a region with a focus on the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding landmasses, including several islands. The map is overlaid with red dots, indicating fire locations, with a larger red area highlighting a significant fire. The date "2025-06-23" is displayed, along with a 24-hour time frame, and the coordinates "Lat: 39.838°, Lon: 26.248°" are shown at the top. The interface includes navigation controls such as a zoom in/out button and a location pin, as well as icons for search, notifications, and menu options. The map's color scheme features shades of blue for the water and various shades of green and brown for the land, with red dots marking the fires.

"Another has done me wrong? Let him see to it. He has his own tendencies, and his own affairs. What I have now is what the common nature has willed, and what I endeavor to accomplish now is what my nature wills." #stoicism #life #philosophy


I wish it didn't need saying, but it does:

"Are you willing to be killed for your own government’s sins? Are you willing to have your house destroyed and your child hit by shrapnel and your elderly parents lose access to medicine because of the policies of the latest president? If that seems unfair for you, it is unfair for anyone, anywhere. From this perspective, it is easy to see that the hurdle that a war must clear to be truly moral is so high that it stretches up into the clouds. Grounding ourselves in this perspective—always holding people, and their right to live, in the forefront of our minds—is the only way to make clear judgments about what our own government does with its killing machines." hamiltonnolan.com/p/nations-ar…
