@scribe Including a slot for inserting playing cards from 1889.

I've been working on de-musking myself. My website is the tricky bit as I've documented several of my Twitter-based projects there with many embedded tweets. Luckily @Edent came to the rescue: https://github.com/edent/Tweet2Embed

Finally, a write-up of the David Lynch phone owl hunt at EMF. How many did you find? Did you open the box? Complete the card collection? https://barnoid.org.uk/david-lynch-numbers-station-phone/

@scribe Taps the sign...?
Also would be a great way to let bias in the training data run riot.

@scribe More electricity is generated not by gas (or other fossil fuel), 62.6% (75% to you) over the last year in the UK, and that will get better. That that is generated by gas is done considerably more efficiently than any fossil car could achieve (less transmission losses).

@scribe Not even close on the manufacture to carbon emitted from fuel burning in a fossil car. That'll be somewhere less than 25%. The figure for electric cars will continue to get better as more renewable generation comes in, not an option for fossil. Plus recycling is a thing.

This article is old, in the UK the power generation mix is getting better rapidly.
