Hungary to shut sole nuclear plant for first time on Sunday

Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the Paks plant offline, leaving Hungary facing a potential power crunch. In neighboring Serbia, energy production at two hydroelectric plants has also been reduced.

It measured the Danube's water level in Budapest at 23 centimeters (9 inches) on Wednesday morning, well below the previous record low of 33 centimeters (13 inches) set in 2018.

CIA and FBI both say it was laboratory sourced.

Not arguing that it didn't come from the lab, but when did the CIA and FBI determine that? The Conversation article you linked is from 2022. Just wondering if it's an apples to apples comparison....

@jon-nyc He really does look like the same Churchill we recognize from his adult photos. Sans the cigar and brandy, of course.

During recent Swedish Death Cleaning (henceforth to be referred to as SDC) efforts I stumbled upon three old, cheapo cell phones that have zero trade-in value and that I have no other use for. I did a factory reset and removed the SIM card from each.

Is there anything else I need to do before I take them somewhere for recycling?

It's the beginning of August and I start to sense a subtle move towards autumn. Of course the days have been shortening since late June, but I don't really pick up on that till late July/early Aug. The angle of the sun in the sky is what I notice start to take note of.

We've been plotzing along here. The garden keeps me busy and we continue our Swedish death cleaning initiative. Mr wtg is still going to physical therapy a couple of times a week. Otherwise, pretty quiet except for contractors digging up gas lines and an occasional water main break. Nothing compared to the fires, heat, and/or flooding that we see on the news just about every day.

How about you? What have you been up to this summer? Festivals? Vacations?
