Well, I’ll post as a new user. I’ve been around for almost a couple weeks and loving it. I still lurk in all every now and again, but I’m so appreciative to have an instance of my interests that keeps me isolated from all the blech of the other instances. And I really appreciate Lemmy for that opportunity.
The issue with copper clad when it comes to DC is voltage drop issues. But that’s just DC in a nutshell lol.
Okay, I’m tagging you. So, let me know when you’re in town and DM me! I’d love to meet for a ride! I just got a secondhand motobocane that’s pretty nice for my all round utility bike.
Heyyyyy! Love seeing natives out and about
Side note, promise it’s the last thing; southern goodbyes am I right? If you leave CTBC and go underneath the bridge, you’ll be on a greenway straight to new Finlay Park paths to the Vista
Make sure to come on a Tuesday. Tuesday night rides are sick downtown. We go by the river a lot. The bike collective is very dear to my heart. They got broken into a few months ago. People suck. But, as always, not a single one of those dudes is letting it show. Always smiling and helping the community.
Ah! Friend! I think I know where this is! No worries, I live in Cola Town. Not trying to be weird. I love venomous plants and was so delighted to learn SC had native ones!
Plastic pollution is signicantly worse than aluminium. Especially, considering how aluminium is infinitely recyclable. PET plastics can only be recycled a few times. In addition, the shredding of plastics is a huge contributor to microplastics. Not only that, but a large portion of plastic for recycling gets shipped across the world to practically sit in a landfill. I will never, ever be on board with plastics.
Even with aluminium, it’s Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling is the last step. Plastics are our biggest offender and we need to reduce it to zero for single use plastics.
I wish the US would get off it’s ass and ban plastic bottles and only have cans.
30° sounds nice, it’s gonna be 42° next week where I am.
Same! When I looked up the salary of farmers in Denmark, I was astonished. Such a glaring difference. I hope all of our situations get better in their respective regards. I hope you have a fantastic…evening? I think midnight, maybe?
Firstly, let me say thank you for such a thoughtful response. Second, I had no idea farming in Denmark was so lucrative. In America, they are poor, usually on government assistance, and strong armed by a corporation for quotas, or certain agricultural practices. E.g. One of my friends cannot let it get out that they have been working on a pest resistant crop for a certain area, because the “start” was a seed that is the IP of some corporation.
A lot of the farmers I know in America hate the pesticide and fertilizer industry. My friend has tried sustainable growth and natural pest deterrents and was sent a cease and desist, because they used some land for crops to do it. Even though their yield was, I believe, equal to previous years.
The farmers I know, and that they know, for into it for the love of it, but they have just been consistently screwed on all fronts by Congress and corporations.
Again, thank you for such a thoughtful response. I learned so much and I’m so sorry that it has gotten that way in Denmark. I know not enough, to argue against you and I apologize if any of my responses came across as ignorant.
I’m sorry that you have had such poor experience with farmers. The ones I know are lovely people. But even still, would it not benefit us to instead wish only the best for farmers and advocate for them, even if they are ignorant and hateful? Would that not still be of great benefit to the countless innocents involved with the lives of these farmers? If they see people care about them, how could they ever believe the lies that they are hated?
And a lot of Muslims voted for Trump in hopes for an end to Gaza. The voters may have been wrong in placing their hopes in him and the Republican party, but neither party has helped farmers in the ways that are needed. The blame still rests on the government, and corporations.
I try to stay away from blaming the working class for the ruling class’ failures. It’s not their fault, for the most part. They are just a useful cog in the machine, much like us all.
It doesn’t help that a lot of farmers are handicapped by the strong arm of capitalism and can’t invest in better, sustainable, practices that would help crops.
Amazing! I love it!
Edit: I think I would do so much coding and listening to music on this thing
I saw it, it just was a little confusing to see what the data was trying to represent. Anomaly makes it seem like the temperature itself was the anomaly. It would make more sense to just say Temperature Variance to me.
I feel bad for all the native animals and plants that aren’t acclimated to the warmer weather. Also, am I reading that correct? 18°C? That’s mild where I live lol.
Edit: Or is it saying +18°C? Confusing map
They got it up and running?! Amazing! I heard rumblings, but glad to see progress.
ugh, if only
