European gas prices hit a two-year high on Monday as colder weather boosted demand, accelerating withdrawals from the region’s fast-depleting storage facilities.
I think the 'long, hard' is an exaggeration (my wife agrees) but afaik cold weather is definitely correlated to higher gas prices
Dec 30, 2024, 10:30 AM CST
Northwest Europe is bracing itself for what is expected to be later this week the coldest snap so far this winter, hours ahead of the expiry of the deal for Russian gas transit via Ukraine to central Europe.
Temperatures in the UK, France, and Germany are expected to plunge at the end of this week, which would raise gas demand for heating and electricity generation.
This happens as Europe is burning through its natural gas in storage at the fastest pace in years.
Temperatures in the big European capitals London, Berlin, and Paris are all expected to plummet below freezing and below the average for the past 30 years, according to weather forecasts cited by Bloomberg.
It certainly seems unusually higher for January compared to the rest of 2024?
Conditions are also cold in northern Europe, meaning that European gas storage stood at 47% full at the start of this week, 5% below the 5-year average and 20% lower than in 2024, according to analysts at UBS, in a note.
In week 6 of 2025, European gas imports rose and exceeded 2024 weekly import levels. This was driven by higher liquified natural gas (LNG) imports

Unless someone has other ideas of what is suddenly consuming a whole lot of LNG I guess chilly weather it is
Ok so you have no penetration in the corporate environment
SteamOS for Jan 2025 shows Arch with 9.41% and Ubuntu with 8.97%, so gamers are using it
Wikipedia shows it with as the only distro with a pulse
some pretty strong fumes eh?
It really isn’t all that popular these days
It's popular amongst regular linux users, I mean if I was to take your opinion seriously then someone clearly made a mistake here:
https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-operating-system
Someone put Ubuntu in 3rd (after Mac and Windows) and Fedora in 12th under ipadOS and "Other linux based" 🧐
In terms of popularity amongst neckbeards who argue over linux distros then yeah, Ubuntu isn't that popular you're right

Looks like there's another poster with a very similar name made the year before
Tldr: if 99% of the pollution is being done by 0.1% of the people, then even removing 99% of the population won’t have much effect.
99% of the pollution isn't being done by the 0.1% though, I think that was a silly article that was like: all the pollution from cars comes from oil which is refined by this company but is dug out the ground by this oil extraction company, therefore all the pollution is actually done by the oil extraction company! ... I don't buy it tbh
For me it's silly thinking there will be some bird flu or asteroid impact, the reality is this:
Get yourself some solar panels, a solar battery, a heat pump for your hot water and an EV (if you have a petrol car and need one) + vote for political parties that are pushing for more renewables to be installed and you've done 99% of what you need to do, it's that simple
Energy for heating/cooling and road transport are the biggest and easiest for the average person to tackle and can make the biggest dent in co2 emissions

We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We are committed to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s war of aggression.
We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own.
We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security.
We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities.
