Yeah, no, I’m not going through two different ‘prove you’re not a robot’ screens for one article about RAM chips, thanks.

Also, maybe this calls for a wiki post? 👀

Becuase somehow during the purge the rich and influential will somehow be vulnerable instead of the right-wing billionaires literally pushing the poor into a literal lava pit?

I would argue that it’s a bit unfortunate name choice haha

Hihi, I’m very much into urban gardening, sustainable ways to feed our communities and food preservation techniques (especially all kinds of fermentation), I’m in the GMT tz, happy to answer any questions you have!

Hi! Really glad I found this community :) I’ve decided to start writing, and because of my ADHD I needed to impose myself a deadline, or I’ll never get anything done, so I’ve decided that I’m going to write a little TTRPG game, and debut a playable preview of it on a local gaming convention at the end of March. In solarpunk-related stuff, I have an idea for two solarpunk short stories, so I hope to have a draft of at least one of them this year, will be very interested in getting proofreaders ;) Hi again, good to be here!

I need to give serious think to my infrastructure and capability, but I’ll let you know

Hmm, I’d need to check how feasible it would be to ship a server from Portugal to Dublin…

Depending on where you are geographically…?

No, we are just stupid faster

Right, what we need right now is tens of trolley problems riding our streets…

But I don’t want less cocoa to be emited🥺 /j

Dive Brief:

• California lawmakers approved a sweeping energy package at the end of the legislative session that does not include funding to continue two grid reliability programs, including a virtual power plant advocates believe is the largest in the world.
• Earlier this year, the state faced a $12 billion budget shortfall, and the two programs were in limbo for months as legislators negotiated down to the wire. The bills awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature after the session closed Saturday include proposals aimed at bringing down energy costs, expanding the Western grid and codifying virtual power plants in longterm planning.
• Advocates say gutting the Demand Side Grid Support and Distributed Electricity Backup Assets programs threatens to undermine the state’s progress toward a more resilient grid that can respond to system stress by calling on batteries, electric vehicles, rooftop solar panels, smart thermostats and other energy resources that are increasingly common in homes, businesses and institutions.

You could even use the ‘smart’ temp sensor and plug to power it on when the temp rises above the desired value, but probably won’t be buyable in your local hardware store… Also, R-134a and other refridgerants are vety potent greenhuse gases, so maybe don’t release that…

Hi! https://www.manualslib.com/download/662200/Zanussi-Zfc19-4d.html Here you can download the manual I didn’t manage to find the relay, I only found one place that has the thermostat: https://fixpart.co.uk/product/electrolux-aeg-50206930005-thermostat?apl=082057 I’m not sure to what degree it helps, but if your problem with acquiring a part is geographical in nature I’m in Ireland, and am happy to get and mail the part for you if it is available in either EU or the UK. Good luck and keep us posted!

You made me reade this article, which I dismissed as a clickbait before, but I cannot find it. Where is that implication?

Don’t be sorry! It is perfectlyh normal to be upset when you get hurt, I personally am quite phobic re: wasps and hornets, so I absolutely understand. Few hints:

• On two pics (the last one and the one before the cute kitty) those Alien looking elongated things are in fact ladybug larvae! Which is great news, since they are way more hungry for the aphids than the adult ones are. That’s a score for you! An old technique that’s recommended by people to attract more ladybugs is to tie some yellow ribbons, as this colour is supposed to attract them. While I haven’t experimented with it myself, I have a couple of friends who swear by it.
• Easy, practical and relatively non-hostile way to deter wasps that I can personally vouch for is putting up a fake nest up there - the critters are madly territorial and will not hang around it the place seems to be claimed by another clan already.

Also, well, don’t give up, try again, rinse and repeat. And try not to be bothered by people who give you their unsolicited moral lectures instead of actually trying to help.
Cheers, good luck, and keep us updated on your adventures!
