#Electricity demand

India is likely to face a blistering summer after recording its hottest February since 1901, its weather department has said. Average maximum temperature was 29.5C in February, the highest since India started keeping proper weather records. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also forecast "enhanced probability" of heatwaves between March and May. Prolonged heat could affect wheat production and push up power demand. Last year, India was forced to ban wheat exports after unseasonably hot weather affected the crop, sending local prices soaring. India is the world's second biggest wheat producer. The unusually high temperatures had also triggered a spike in power demand last year, leading to outages in many states. This year too, demand for electricity has already reached near-record levels in recent weeks, Bloomberg reported. India saw a 55% rise in deaths due to extreme heat between 2000-2004 and 2017-2021, according to a study published last year in the medical journal, The Lancet.

The DBD Fandom largely refers to the character of Edwin Payne incorrectly as “Victorian” instead of placing him properly within his Edwardian era. The Edwardian erasure results in fundamental misunderstandings of Payne’s place and time within history and ultimately the narrative itself. In this essay I will

What the hell is 20 trucks supposed to do for 2 million displaced people under constant bombing? Is that all the world can manage? 20??!? It like giving a man dying of thirst a drop of water and asking him to be grateful for your generosity. It is sick. It is fucking sick what they are doing. Those 20 trucks purpose is to placate the media and us and do nothing for the Palestinians.

They even forbade oxygen tanks from going to hospitals and didn’t allow any food. ..

It's so frustrating to me that people see electric automobiles as a green technology. They are anything but.

I went to the 2024 Cat Video Fest on a whim (since the first showing was right before A Matter of Life and Death) and it was such a delight to watch silly cat videos in a theater full of laughing people. It's playing at the Roxie several times over the next few weeks as well as in other places across the US (and the proceeds go to cat rescue organizations!).

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it here hfkshfks

So when I was tuning the violins today. Well it was the first time I'd done anything with them in a while. And tbh I should've loosened the strings before leaving them for so long, but I hadn't thought of it.

So I tuned up my main violin. It's always been easy to tune & keeps in tune near perfectly when it's played regularly. So it went by quickly, except... when I'm tuning, I like to check the harmonic notes when cross-checking strings, and for whatever reason, the G string's harmonic was like half a note flat. The string itself was in tune tho, which was weird. So I went to adjust the bridge a little bit, just in case that might help, and then the G string fucking SNAPPED!!!

RIP lmao

Good for me tho I've always kept spares in my case. I had 2 of each string, so I just went and put in the new one. First time stringing a violin in years and years, but it went perfectly fine!!

Back and better than ever!

Then I went to tune my electric violin, and it took me literally 10 minutes bc the pegs DID NOT want to turn. I had to literally grab a blanket to pad my fingers as I put my whole self into that shit. It hurt !!!!! But I got it eventually lol. My main violin is definitely the best one for playing out of the bunch.
