Lol, yeh, Alf is an Italian living in the Netherlands - funny guy, good at macros, but pretty terrible trader. He also has some strong opinions on when to drink cappucino.

You nailed it: Cappuccino is another sad, sad chapter.

Worked for a dutch company for years: saw people (dutch but also english ones) drinking cappucciono while dining.

Cappuccino should be banned after 10AM

Could not agree more. Had an old Itallian friend that owned a deli in New York. When by mistake I once asked for a Cappuccino after 12 he gave me a long lecture on the virtues of drinking a Cappuccino and the moral of the story was you never drink it after breakfast.

Italians have a thing about drinking cappuccino after noon. It’s just not done (some say it’s because the milk and foam makes it a replacement for a meal, and all that dairy upsets the digestion). And you’ll never see an Italian ordering a cappuccino after dinner.

“Cappuccino is a breakfast drink for Italians because milk is associated with this time of day. While there are plenty of dairy products like amazing cheeses, Italians don’t drink much milk in general ― milk is for the cappuccino or a baby bottle,” master barista Giorgio Milos at Illy told HuffPost via email.

Damn, when I came across this, I thought it was a parody ... but it's not.

This is pretty messed up.

In a Substack blog Jeff Childers gores two of the lefts favourite causes: climate change and juvenile mutilation. First up the climate: say after me "Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai". This is a southern ocean undersea volcano that exploded in Jan 2022 and pumped 40 trillion gallons of super-heated water vapor into the upper atmosphere. The plume circled the earth in a week and pole to pole in three months. This and deep sea hydrothermal vents raising ocean temps are affecting climate not human activity.

What causes boiling-hot, deep-ocean vents? Volcanic activity.
Magma from the Earth’s core is heating up the water, which is venting out, raising
ocean temperatures and putting even more water vapor into the atmosphere,
which heats the air through greenhouse effects.
It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide.

Second, he covers Dems melt down:

In a committee hearing discussing a bill limiting gender treatment for minors,
Representative Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), who happens to be my Congresswoman,
asked the Committee’s technical staff to play a short video of University of Oregon
“expert” surgeon Dr. Blair Peters, while he was explaining how adolescent gender
mutilation, I mean reassignment, surgeries work. That’s when the democrats
freaked out.

This is the latest comment at the time of posting this video. I think it appropriately describes the situation rational thinkers face in the west

Imagine if all these people actually admitted to having mental health issues and sought appropriate help.

More from the "I'm from the government and I'm here to screw you over". Who could have foreseen that this would happen? My spidy senses tell me more control, taxation and pain for the peons is on its way. Icing on the cake would be putting Hunter Biden in charge. Wonder if algorithms are required for this?

NASA's groundbreaking mission to monitor air pollutants from space, TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution), has started bearing fruit with the release of its first data maps, according to a press release by the agency.

Launched earlier this year on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, TEMPO is already transmitting vital information about major air pollutants over North America, marking a significant step towards achieving clean air for all citizens.

President Biden and Vice President Harris have strongly advocated for improved air quality as a fundamental right, aligning with TEMPO's mission to support the administration's ambitious climate agenda.

As TEMPO takes its initial steps toward full-scale operation, the first data maps provide a glimpse of its potential. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide gas, a common indicator of pollution, were revealed around cities and major transportation routes in North America.

By measuring sunlight reflected and scattered by Earth's surface, clouds, and atmosphere, TEMPO discerns atmospheric gasses' impact on sunlight absorption. The resulting spectra reveal the concentrations of various gasses, including nitrogen dioxide.

The released visualizations spotlight six scans conducted on August 2, each revealing pollution patterns in distinct regions. Detailed views hone in on areas such as the southwestern U.S., the Texas-Louisiana corridor, and the busy Interstate 95 stretch between New York and Washington.

The data was collected during TEMPO's "first light" phase, which encompassed calibration tests and solar observations between July 31 and August 2.

“TEMPO is beginning to measure hourly daytime air pollution over greater North America. It measures ozone, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, aerosols, water vapor and several trace gasses,” said Kelly Chance, SAO senior physicist and TEMPO principal investigator.

Almost close to 50 studies are in the pipeline, leveraging TEMPO's unique data collection capabilities to advance pollution-related research, Chance revealed.

While TEMPO's journey has just begun, it is undeniable that the instrument will contribute to advancing air quality. As TEMPO prepares to join the ranks of other air pollution monitors across the Northern Hemisphere, including South Korea's Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer and ESA's Sentinel-4 satellite, the prospects for comprehensive global air quality insights are brighter than ever.
