Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.
We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.
Yep you were right.
9th anniversary of the Grenfell fire is approaching. 72 people died, thousands more scarred.
Main causes remain unaddressed.
Lust for higher profits
Unaccountable corporate power
Performance related executive pay
Failure of regulators
Indifference of govts to the cry of the people
Nothing changed.
Because we dislike heavy, oversized modern dinnerware, I buy vintage sets from time to time. Last one was getting down on plates so I picked up this - just vintage Noritake but 78 pieces for $100. Should last a decade of daily use.
I don’t know what tax bracket you have to be in to care about govt spending or debt but I know I’m not in it. Literally could not give a shit. I’m in the tax bracket where I want kids to be fed, homeless people to be housed, people to be able to access and receive quality healthcare timely.
Of course Greenpeace and others have been calling for policies to reduce fossil fuel exposure for years. We were right then and we're right now. Here's an update on things that would actually help with the current global fossil fuel crisis. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...
I have had enough of the job applications that make you write a 17-page novel on their clunky portal, validate your identity with a photo of your passport & licence, ask the same question 3x, make you upload your CV & cover letter 2x, then when you click submit it says "this listing has expired"
Mondays are just a bad idea. We should ban them. At least get a moratorium until we can find out what the hell is going on
Yes it is. Calm before the storm is a true saying
They moved in at Christmas, have no curtains but have all the lights on 24/7. Everything I know about them is against my will, and sadly I seen everything
Ex-Texas husband is marching around the place gathering things I think could not possibly blow anywhere and putting them inside
(Although perhaps a full gas bottle COULD blow somewhere in our new normal)
I hate to be repetitive here but the “appropriate level of alarm” to the threat of nuclear war is for our brains to short circuit
Absurdity, nonsense and yes, full dissociation, are really the only responses left available to anyone who understands the situation at all
See: Spike Milligan, et al
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Sir Humphrey would be proud
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
The "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created value for shareholders" meme but "... moment in time nobody could say we reacted too early in stopping it
When people say "[name of group] is a cancer" they are saying that the individual people that make up those groups are not human, they are a disease vector. To them people are the real virus, and the vaccine is their utter destruction. Such people who say this hate humanity, hate life, and hate God.
On this day 5 years ago I exited MIQ and did not give Covid to anyone after international travel.
This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.
Anyone who helped this fuck is guilty as fuck right along with him.
Traitors doing treason.

I mean some US States have MAGA wanting to give women the death Penalty for having an abortion. The ICE Gestapo and Concentration Camps, the USA has no right to judge Iran at the moment. Nor anyone who doesn't call out Israel
took the car in for an oil change. Fox News was on in the waiting room. 🙄 after everyone else had left, I channeled the spirit of my father and changed it to The Accuweather Channel. No one changed while I was there. 😈

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives.
The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Trickle-down economics is a hoax.
Not exaggerating:
What’s the reason for the change? Fish are showing lower levels of toxic chemicals known as PCBs, which is shorthand for polychlorinated biphenyls.
Zero context on why the levels used to be high (INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION) and how they were lowered (REGULATIONS LOWERED THEM)

Gotta say the amount of women communicating with Artemis from Mission Control, and/or talking about the mission and the science, with so much moon joy, has been incredible to see.
