"Heat stored underground in caverns can be set aside in Finland’s summer months to be re-used during frigid winters thanks to a state-of-the-art ‘seasonal energy’ storage facility.

Slated for construction this summer near Helsinki, it will be the largest in the world by all standards and contain enough thermal energy to heat a medium-sized city all winter.

Thermal exchange heating systems, like those built underground, or domestic heat pumps, are seen as the most effective way available of reducing the climate-impact of home heating and cooling.

Their function relies on natural forces or energy recycling to cool down or heat up water and then using it to radiate hot or cold energy into a dwelling.

In Vantaa, Finland’s fourth largest city neighboring the capital of Helsinki, the ambitious Varanto seasonal energy storage project plans to store cheap and environmental friendly waste heat from datacenters, cooling processes, and waste-to-energy assets in underground caverns where it can be used to heat buildings via the district heating network whenever it is needed.

In Finland and other Nordic countries, the heat consumption varies significantly between seasons. Heat consumption in the summertime is only about one-tenth of the peak load consumption during the cold winter months.

Varanto will utilize underground caverns equal in space to two Maddison Square Gardens—over a million cubic meters—filled with water heated by this waste heat and pressure that will allow the water to reach temperatures of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit without the water boiling or evaporating.

“The world is undergoing a huge energy transition. Wind and solar power have become vital technologies in the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy,” says Vantaa Energy CEO Jukka Toivonen.

“The biggest challenge of the energy transition so far has been the inability to store these intermittent forms of energy for later use. Unfortunately, small-scale storage solutions, such as batteries or accumulators, are not sufficient; large, industrial-scale storage solutions are needed. Varanto is an excellent example of this, and we are happy to set an example for the rest of the world.” ...

“Two 60-MW electric boilers will be built in conjunction with Varanto,” adds Toivonen. “These boilers will be used to produce heat from renewable electricity when electricity is abundant and cheap. Our heat-producing system will work like a hybrid car: alternating between electricity and other forms of production, depending on what is most advantageous and efficient at the time.”

... Construction of the storage facility’s entrance is expected to start in summer 2024, while it could be operational as early as 2028."

Interruptions

Character: Tom Blyth

Requested: No

Type: Fluff

Summary: Tom Blythe’s girlfriend, Amelia Burkhart joins the cast of The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes as Sejanus Plinth’s girlfriend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amelia never thought she would have the pleasure of working with her boyfriend, but after many years in the industry she finally has the chance to say she has. 

Working in a franchise as big as The Hunger Games was such a surreal experience , and the fact that she gets to share it with the person she loves most adds an extra layer of perfection. 

Her connection with Tom, sparked through a mutual friend, has consistently radiated fireworks. Now, after two amazing years together, they find themselves side by side, working on the anticipated Hunger Games prequel. 

The funny thing about that was that she plays Anastasia Clemence, the love interest of Sejanus Plinth, while Tom, cast as Coriolanus Snow, found himself entangled with Lucy Gray, portrayed by Rachel Zegler, who happens to be Josh Rivera’s girlfriend who is playing Sejanus Plinth.

It was like an episode of girlfriend swap everyday on set. A humorous acknowledgment among the actors. 

In a pivotal scene, Josh and Amelia engage in a passionate exchange, transitioning seamlessly from a heated argument to an intense make-out session. And for some reason both Tom and Rachel decided to watch it.

“Are you serious Sej? You’re working with the dam rebels. Do you not even want to go back home?” Amelia slipped into Anastasia's shoes the moment the cameras started filming. Amelia, as Anastasia, confronts Josh’s Sejanus, discovering his involvement with the rebels.

Josh ran a hand through his hair looking at the girl in front of him, “I need to do something with my life Stasia, I need you to understand that.” He responded, expressing Sejanus’ commitment “I can’t just sit here and do nothing. It’s not fair to them.” 

As emotions surged, Amelia, teary-eyed, pleaded with him before pushing at his chest, “It’s not fair to me that you are putting yourself at risk, Sejanus. This isn’t just about you. This is about our future, our life, and you’re throwing it all away and for what? You can get hurt Sej, or worse, you can get killed.” Her eyes glisten with unshed tears grabbing onto his face, “you can’t leave me. You just can’t. I-I wouldn’t know what to do without you.” 

He sighs leaning his forehead against hers,”It’s all going to be okay Stasia, I promise. I need you to trust me. Coryo has a plan. He’ll get us out of here.” He presses his lips to her forehead mumbling, “I won’t ever leave you . I promise.” 

The atmosphere hung in suspense before a sudden surge of passion seized through Amelia. She grabbed the back of his neck, pressing her lips to his, arms immediately wrapping around her waist, with an urgency that transformed them into Anastasia and Sejanus. 

He effortlessly lifts her, her legs wrapping around his waist, and slams her against the wall. Their tongues intertwined, teeth colliding in a chaotic dance that defined their unique connection–a beautiful mess that belonged solely to them. His hands ran through her hair, gently tugging, evoking a soft moan from her.

The scene took an unexpected turn as her boyfriend’s voice disrupted the intimacy.“DO IT AGAIN SHE LIKES IT ROUGH,” he proclaimed, shattering the moment. Amelia couldn’t help but burst into laughter, followed by Josh, who carefully placed her back on the ground.

"Tom, we've been through this before – you can't just shout out like that." The director sighed, chuckling slightly. "You're a bit weird, you know? You might be the first actor I've come across who enjoys watching their girlfriend kiss another actor. Let's take a 5-minute break, and then we'll give it another shot." He gestured toward Tom and Rachel. "…But this time, without either of you here."

Rachel's jaw dropped. "I didn't even do anything; it was all him." She accused Tom, pointing at the man who pretended to be shocked. The director rolled his eyes playfully as he headed out the door. She lightly smacked Tom's arm. "See what you did? You just got us kicked out of the scene."

Amelia and Josh approached the other duo. Amelia gave Tom a light shove. "You knew that was going to be a perfect take. Now we have to do it all over again."

Tom smiled sheepishly. "I couldn't help myself. This..." He motioned to the four of them. "...always makes me laugh."

Josh draped his arm around his girl. "You don't catch either of us making a scene during your performances. We're the epitome of well-behaved." He and Amelia exchanged a high five. 

Tom glanced at Amelia, the girl nestled in his arms, and grinned. "Alright, I'll behave next time. And you," he pointed at Josh, "better keep that tongue of yours in check."

Amelia's eyes widened in horror at Tom's comment, while Rachel and Josh erupted in laughter before making their way towards the snacks. 

Amelia wrapped her arms around Tom's neck, shaking her head. "You're terrible. But Tim's right; I never thought you'd be up for watching me kiss another guy in real life. On screen, it's different, but showing up to these shoots is just crazy."

Tom gave her a light kiss. "It's Josh. We both swap kisses with each other's girlfriends." He shrugged playfully. "I trust you. I know the role you're playing, and I know you'll give it your all." Leaning in, he hovered over her lips. "Plus, after his untimely death, Anastasia has no other choice but to run into the arms of his best friend." He kissed her slowly, making her melt. "And then it'll be you and me in these scenes. No interruptions."

Steam Heating in the Concrete Jungle: A Comprehensive Analysis of New York City's Historic and Sustainable Heating Infrastructure

Introduction

1.1 Historical Overview of Steam Heating

Steam heating has a storied history in New York City, dating back to the mid-1800s. Before steam heating, buildings relied on individual coal-burning stoves or fireplaces for warmth, resulting in uneven heating and numerous health hazards. The advent of steam heating, pioneered by engineer Stephen Gold in the 1850s, marked a significant advancement in heating technology. It offered a centralized heating solution, where steam generated in large plants could be distributed efficiently through a network of underground pipes to individual buildings, providing consistent and reliable heat throughout the city.

1.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Steam Heating

The adoption of steam heating brought several advantages to New York City. It allowed for the elimination of individual heating units in each building, reducing maintenance costs and fire risks. Steam heating systems operate quietly, without the noise associated with forced-air systems, contributing to a more peaceful urban environment. Additionally, steam heating radiators became architectural features, adding a distinctive charm to buildings' interiors.

However, steam heating also presented challenges. One of the primary concerns was heat loss during steam transportation through the extensive underground pipe network. Proper insulation became crucial to mitigate energy waste and ensure efficient heat distribution. Additionally, as the steam system aged, it became susceptible to leaks, and repairing the aging infrastructure posed logistical and financial hurdles.

1.3 Comparison with Other Heating Systems

Compared to forced air and electric heating systems, steam heating offered unique benefits. Forced air systems, prevalent in modern construction, tend to create drafts and circulate dust, potentially exacerbating respiratory issues. Steam heating's ability to deliver consistent warmth without air movement was preferred in many buildings. Electric heating, while convenient and clean, often proved less efficient and costlier, especially for larger buildings served by the steam system.

Once steam is produced, it is conveyed through an extensive network of underground pipes, known as steam mains. These mains crisscross the city, providing steam to thousands of buildings. The pipes are insulated to minimize heat loss, maximizing the efficiency of the distribution process.

2.3 Steam Radiators and Heat Exchange

Upon reaching individual buildings, the steam is directed to steam radiators or heat exchangers, depending on the building's size and heating requirements. Steam radiators are common in residential buildings, where the steam enters the unit and releases its latent heat as it condenses back into water, effectively warming the surrounding air. Heat exchangers are prevalent in commercial and industrial settings, where the steam's heat is transferred to the building's air or water distribution systems.

2.4 Steam Traps and Venting

Steam traps are essential components of the steam heating system. They are designed to remove condensate, the water formed when steam cools down, from the system. Proper venting is equally crucial, as it releases air and non-condensable gases from the pipes, preventing air locks and ensuring efficient steam flow. Specialized venting devices, such as air vents and steam traps, are installed throughout the system to maintain its optimal performance.

nsfw: Regulatory Compliance by sherlaufeyson | E | 3k

Toto is exasperated with what he sees as Christian lawyering him to death, and makes a comment about him needing to be disciplined. Christian is unexpecedly amenable to the suggestion. This was undoubtedly hot and the dynamic between them is absolutely sparking, but what I really liked is the overall gentleness of it and the focus on ongoing consent and good kink negotiation and the comfort of both partners. Just had a really nice fuzzy vibe overall. This is a locked fic with explicit content.

Toto took a deep breath and placed a firm hand on the centre of Christian's back.He could feel the heat radiating through Christian's polo shirt. As Toto ran his hand slowly down to Christian's backside, he felt a full-body shiver wrack Christian's smaller frame. "Christian." Toto heard a satisfied hum in response. "If you want me to stop, at any time, tell me." "Oh, I will." Christian's tone was much calmer than Toto had expected. It was almost like he was finding it easier to speak when he wasn't making direct eye contact.

an exchange for flight by @antimonyandthyme | M | 4.5k

Toto sprouts wings. It's an agonising, messy process. Christian is there, and perhaps knows more about it than Toto expected. This fic has a lovely balance of combativeness and caring between the both of them, and the sort of wonderfully evocative language that best suits the premise of wingfic. There is a darker theme of sacrifice, and what it can take to succeed in the world they both move in.

Toto uses the freed space to get the knife around his back. It’s going to be agony. He squeezes his eyes shut. Fuck it. The whole night’s already been agony. Let it never be said that he doesn’t have the resolve. He brings the knife down.“Fuck!” Toto’s eyes fly open. There wasn’t any pain. That doesn’t seem right. He doesn’t want to believe what he’s seeing. Christian’s forearm is sliced open, where it’s braced against Toto’s wing, protecting it. “Christian,” Toto says. He’s gone all brittle, he’ll shatter any moment. “Your arm.” The knife clatters from his hand. “You’re bleeding.”*

nsfw: Failure by @honeybadgercomeback | E | 4.7k

A/B/O. Christian is a closeted omega in an industry where people of his designation still face major discrimination. He has been on suppressants ever since he presented and has never experienced a heat. One day, they fail. Susie Wolff finds him in distress and brings him home. I’m a real sucker for characters who think they are struggling alone finding out that they have people who care about them and who don’t judge. The pack and family dynamics of a/b/o in general are the main reason I love it, and this fic delivers.

'It was the unfairness of it all that killed him. Toto could just get away with “yes my sworn work enemy was having a heat crisis so my wife got me to knot him”, but Christian would forever be branded as the one who needed it to happen. The gossips would have a field day talking about it. It would be hell, and he’d watch it all from home because he was about to be unemployed. It was fine, really.'

straight nitro by @undignifiedpopemobile | T | 9k

Coffee shop AU. Christian owns a successful coffee shop. One day, a rival cafe opens opposite. This fic is just really funny, and has that lovely breezy tone that coffee shop fic suits so well. Christian’s point of view is hilarious, his obsession with Toto obvious to everyone but himself. The supporting cast of drivers provide the perfect Greek chorus to his antics and his woes.

'When the café opens— and, fuck off, just because they’ve got a menu with sandwiches on it doesn’t make it a café, it’s a coffee shop— Christian goes over to investigate, leaving Seb to manage the shop and leaving Adrian to manage Seb. The Silver Arrow Café is a neat little bistro owned by the same company that runs the extremely successful restaurant chain Mercedes, and is, according to rumors, the pet project of plurality shareholder and CEO Toto Wolff. That dick. Well, Christian is fairly confident it will crash and burn within a month, as he really can’t imagine any financier who walked into a ready-made profitable franchise is going to be willing to put in the actual work it requires to build a business from the ground up. Hopefully he cries. Hopefully he cries in public, where Christian can watch and laugh and maybe film it for posterity.'

nsfw: all the blood runs cold before it’s hot @verycoolwearsleather | E | 9.6k

Christian finds himself craving to submit to Toto. Toto notices and gives him what he wants. This fic is hot as hell but not always nice - mind and power games are the basis of this somewhat toxic relationship. If you like your vibes rancid, this one is for you. I really liked the way Christian’s mind is completely twisted around Toto here and the fact that he is at least somewhat aware of it. The mind games and the power play are very in character for this pairing and this fic doesn’t lean into the temptation to make things fluffy at all.

'He has turned this thought over in his head, approaching it cautiously, from multiple angles. It makes something flare in his chest, a white-hot anger that feels disproportionate to the situation. Sometimes he imagines marching up to Toto, yelling at him, jabbing a finger into his chest. Even in his mind, Toto never quite takes him seriously. Sometimes he grabs Christian’s hand before it can make contact with his torso, holding him at arm’s distance in a grip so tight Christian starts to fear for his fingers. Sometimes he laughs.'

nsfw: Seven Years Next May by @mediumtires | E | 172k

Toto and Christian are married, a secret known only to a few close and trusted people. One day, a moment of carelessness in the paddock results in them being outed. This is only the beginning though, as they’re about to enter the 2021 season, and all the professional and personal difficulties this will put them through puts an incredible strain on their relationship. This fic feels so authentic and so lived in. This author has a real grasp of what a long term relationship can look like from the inside, and how love alone is not enough. Sometimes it sucks. Sometimes there are good moments and good days among the most awful hauls of bad times. Sometimes it takes an almost impossible amount of labour to fix things, but there is never any doubt that it is worth the effort. You get a real sense of the despair they both feel at the possibility that their marriage might end over this.

'Christian sighed, already pushing the door open further, despite his best knowledge. Toto would be sore as hell tomorrow if he slept like this. Christian probably shouldn’t do it, shouldn’t even care about Toto waking up all achy and in pain, but he did, unfortunately. He just prayed Toto wouldn’t wake up when he freed him of his glasses and of the pillow in his neck, when he pulled off his ridiculous slippers, draped the covers over him, and turned off the light.'

Thank you to @lydia-petze for compiling this list ❤️

an extract from the chris harms/käärijä fic!

He still wasn’t quite sure how he wound up kissing him after the semi final.

They were alone together in Käärijä’s dressing room. The gaggle of backing dancers Käärijä had had - as bright as parrots or flamingos in their pink costumes and about as loud when they were together - were off somewhere. Chris wasn’t quite sure where.

And to be honest, he didn’t really care. Käärijä was kissing him, and that was all that mattered.

It had started with him going to congratulate the Finnish for getting through with an absolute banger of a song, he was sure. Then the conversation progressed to industrial metal, with words about Rammstein being exchanged before they moved onto other acts like Nine Inch Nails.

Christ still didn’t know how they wound up kissing.

But Käärijä’s lips were soft and warm and on his, and in that moment he didn’t really care about the details.

His thighs hit metal, making him blink back to the present, and the ricochet of the bump was enough to force him to sink down onto the table.

With the change in height came a change in angle. Käärijä’s mouth was a little more insistent, and it was all Chris could do to hold him close. Käärijä was making all sorts of satisfied little grunts and groans, and each one sent heat tingling through Chris’s veins. Käärijä bit at his lip, and the pain felt even better. Chris groaned back, sweating through his clothes and feeling the warmth of Käärijä’s body radiating from where he stood between Chris’s thighs.
