Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

It’s great isn’t it. The panels are getting denser as well which must be great for sailors. What sort of boat do you have?

I know. I don’t like either and hope it can change but I think it’s what is happening.

Only joking. We’re offgrid anyway, so unless they can figure out a tiny, cheap and quiet one I can buy off the shelf some time soon I will be solar for a while to come!

Panels have become ridiculously cheap per kwh. I was looking for some more recently and they had halved in price in the space of a few years while everything else has almost doubled.

I’d love to see more innovation in mechanical storage.

Maybe. They clearly want to in Denmark and Germany though. And France does good work too.

Not many of us are old enough to have seen things really change but they can.

I love that meme.

Do what you gotta do buddy

I’m guessing I’m a bit of an outsider to this community and although I usually keep up with the news I don’t dig super deep in any particular direction.

But my take is that any of the regimes mentioned here would jump at the opportunity to be imperialist and already do. I think it’s the fundamental rule of the game that they all play.

Man, just when I’d bought all those solar panels.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It would be funny if Trump’s biggest legacy was the mass adoption of open source.

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

Lol

From what little I’ve gathered it sounds like it’s a bit more complicated than supply of a single type of opioid. Without removing the same amount of other opioids, and controlling for changes in the broader context of drug use and treatment I think it’s just hard to tell. I’m sure it’s relevant and is something worth noticing though.

Ah OK.

Just been reading a bit about it and it sounds like the biggest factor might be the reduction in fentanyl use in the US, which shot up (excuse the pun) in relation to heroin over the pandemic due to supply chain pressures and is now falling again. It was accounting for 50-80% of opioid overdoses.

What the US did in Afghanistan and Iraq was really bad though.

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

What is their drugs policy?

I hope it’s not just that people are afraid of reporting deaths as overdoses now.

It certainly is!

That debt will be bigger the longer it is left before nationalising it. The situation shouldn’t have been left to fester for so long.

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

If the government is not selling us out then what do they have to hide?

It’s no wonder we don’t trust politicians when it’s clear they don’t trust us.

Sounds awesome - thanks for the invite! It would be cool to have this on Bookwyrm or even Lemmy
