A real person!

Rabbi Yirmeyah
רבי ירמיה
Amoraim - Third And Fourth Generations
אמוראים - דור שלישי ורביעי
c.290 – c.350 CE 290 – 350 לספירה בקירוב
A student of R. Abuha and a colleague of R. Zera, R Yirmeyah was known for his humility as well as his exacting and outlandish questions. The latter got to the point where he was removed from the academy.

[Below the ruler are five panels. In the first, two Cueball-like guys are talking together. Cueball is addressing his friend with one hand raised.]
Cueball: You have trouble sleeping right?
Friend: Only when your mom is over.
[Cueball is now standing next to a an easel with a large version of the chart shown above the panels. Cueball is pointing to the chart while his friend is looking at it.]
Cueball: Since your work is flexible-
Friend: -Like your mom-
Cueball: -you should try the 28-hour day - 20 awake, 8 asleep (or 19/9 if you prefer).
Friend: I prefer your mom.
[Cueball moves forward toward his friend, with the chart behind him. He holds both hands, held together, up in front of him. The easel with the chart can now be seen to have three legs, as opposed to only two shown in the previous panel.]
Cueball: It synchs up with the week - you spend weekdays awake normally, then on weekends you can go out all night.
Friend: Just like your mom.
[In a frameless panel, only Cueball is shown from the torso up. He gestures with both arms raised on each side of him.]
Cueball: It means four extra hours daily. You can stay up until you're exhausted every day and then spend a full 9 hours asleep each night!
[Back to both again, but without the chart. Cueball leans toward his friend as his friend lifts a hand to his chin.]
Friend: But how much time can I spend doing your mom?
Cueball: You? I'm guessing three or four minutes, tops.
Friend: ...Well played.

relevant xkcd xkcd.com/320/

[Above the panels of the main comic, there is a ruler-like time line diagram that shows the hours in a week. It has 6 black sections labeled "bed" in white text, at the top and 7 black sections labeled "night" in white text, at the bottom (the first and last sections are split in two as it goes from the end of the week to the start of the (next) week. So there are 8 night sections, but they only cover 7 times 12 hours). The night sections always go from 6PM to 6AM. But the bed sections are only 8 hours long and they only stay fully over the night sections two times, and two times they are not above the night sections at all. Above the ruler, the bed times are shown. These labels are over the relevant ticks on the ruler. The ruler has small ticks for every two hours, longer ticks at noon, and a line that goes all the way through the ruler dividing each day. The ruler begins on midnight as Sunday starts and ends as Saturday finishes at midnight. Below the ruler each day are labels with the three-letter abbreviations in a much larger font. Here below the rulers, text is transcribed with the day first, then night or bed according to which comes first, and the time interval for bed given after each bed. The first and last night will only be a partial word and only the first time will there be a (ni)ght to start.]

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.

בָּעֵי רַבִּי יִרְמְיָה: רַגְלוֹ אַחַת בְּתוֹךְ חֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה, וְרַגְלוֹ אַחַת חוּץ מֵחֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה – מַהוּ? וְעַל דָּא אַפְּקוּהוּ לְרַבִּי יִרְמְיָה מִבֵּי מִדְרְשָׁא.

Have I mentioned how much I fucking hate Germany? (this was at 12 UTC, 14 CEST)

Chart of the electricity mix from Germany on 24 June 2026 at 14:00 local time (from electricitymaps.com).

Their electricity production is roughly: 54 GW from solar, 8 GW from coal, 4 GW from biomass, 3.5 GW from gas, 2 GW from hydro and hydro storage, also storing 6 GW in hydro storage.

The total carbon intensity is 196 grams of CO₂ equivalent per kWh, or 14.5 kilotons of CO₂ equivalent in total.

Chart of the electricity mix from France on 24 June 2026 at 14:00 local time (from electricitymaps.com).

Their electricity production is roughly: 37 GW from nuclear, 20 GW from solar, 4 GW from hydro, 1 GW from biomass, less than 1 GW each from gas and wind, barely anything from batteries, about 2 GW stored using hydro storage.

The total carbon intensity is 30 grams of CO₂ equivalent per kWh, or 1.9 kilotons of CO₂ equivalent in total.

At least Germany must be producing loads of electricity through their solar panels, right? …right?

Their electricity production is roughly: 13 GW from coal, 10 GW from solar, 7 GW from gas, 5 GW from biomass, 5 GW from hydro and hydro storage, 1 GW from wind.

The total carbon intensity is 451 grams of CO₂ equivalent per kWh, or 22 kilotons of CO₂ equivalent in total.

Chart of the electricity mix from France on 23 June 2026 at 19:15 local time (from electricitymaps.com).

Their electricity production is roughly: 36 GW from nuclear, 9 GW from solar, 8 GW from hydro and hydro storage, 4 from gas, 1 GW from wind.

The total carbon intensity is 52 grams of CO₂ equivalent per kWh, or 3.2 kilotons of CO₂ equivalent in total.

They used to. They just shut them all off.

Nuclear energy used to be about a quarter of electricity production in Germany. Now it's 0%. Meanwhile coal and gas are still about 40%.

Agreed Germany went with “environmentalism” at all costs, ignoring any actual data about pollution, carbon emissions, and health effects. Guess who gets a cleaner electricity now.
