Sunday is for collecting colors for the next week.
The photos are not particularly good, but I just love orioles (Pirole) and bee-eaters (Bienenfresser)
Orioles are cunning. In German, their call sounds like "I'm a hoopoo" ("I bin a Wiedehopf!"), although clearly they aren't.

It's hard to draw conclusions from that graph. The top line isn't labelled, but it looks like whoever that was had a similar growth curve and then found it hard to electrify beyond 30%. There are a few factors to consider:
- For a lot of things, electricity is the natural and obvious choice. Simply building those out at all would default to adding more electricity consumption. A lot of other countries had already done a lot of this low-hanging fruit before the 1970s.
- For a lot of other things, converting to electrical power is a lot more expensive than building with electrical power from the start. We saw this with Internet deployments 20-30 years ago: countries that didn't have a good telephone network were deploying fibre everywhere because it was cheaper than copper and there was no reason to deploy copper. Countries that had an extensive copper network had a big cost to replace it all with fibre.
I think 30% is around where you get to with the first one, and the second lets you get there faster if you start later. It will be very interesting to see how this looks once they are past the 50% point. I hope it will continue. China has been electrifying things like aluminium smelting plants, which is a massive investment (with long-term pay offs), so I wouldn't be surprised if they keep this growth rate at least to 50%.
The other interesting factor is the degree to which this is fed by renewable sources. Switching to coal-fired power plants is not a very big win relative to burning oil on site. Last time I checked, China's renewable rollout was impressive, but I'd love to see the graph combining renewable generation with percent electrification. I suspect the US and some European countries would look a lot worse.

The image features a character with a large, round head and a small body, resembling a stylized squid or octopus. The character has glowing red eyes with a fiery appearance, and its mouth is downturned, giving it a stern expression. The background is dark, with a light source on the left side, creating a stark contrast. The character's eyes are the most striking feature, with a red glow that suggests intensity or menace. The text at the top of the image reads "DON'T ASK," and the text at the bottom reads "WHO JOE IS." The overall tone of the image is ominous and mysterious, with the character's intense gaze and the dark background contributing to this effect.

Das Bild zeigt eine Person von hinten, die ein schwarzes und weißes Mustertrikot mit Kapuze trägt. Die Person steht in einem dunklen, möglicherweise indooren Raum, der durch helle, rechteckige Lichter beleuchtet wird. Im Vordergrund ist ein Textfeld mit einem blauen Anführungszeichen-Symbol, das eine Zitatbox darstellt. In diesem Textfeld steht: "Ich möchte kein Autobiografie schreiben, weil ich dann öffentliche Eigentum mit keiner Privatsphäre mehr wäre." - Stephen Hawking. Der Hintergrund ist schwarz-weiß und die Person ist teilweise transparent, sodass sie im Hintergrund sichtbar ist.

in reply to EbruKash • • •Das Bild zeigt eine Parkanlage für Busse an einer roten Backsteinwand. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein Metallgerüst, das für die Parken von Fahrrädern vorgesehen ist, obwohl es leer ist. Über dem Gerüst ist ein blaues Schild mit einem weißen "P" und einem Bus-Symbol, das "Busparkplatz" in gelber Schrift darunter besagt. Die Wand besteht aus roten Backsteinen, die in verschiedenen Farbtönen und Größen angeordnet sind. Der Boden besteht aus roten Ziegeln, die in einem geometrischen Muster angeordnet sind. Das Schild und das Gerüst sind in einem guten Zustand, und die Umgebung wirkt sauber und gut gepflegt.
