a bakfiets cargo bike parked beside a farm with three pigs lying in the dirt
three pigs lying in the dirt, surrounded by veggies, they were making little grunting sounds. Their names are Cookiedough, Honey, and Butter.
Top down view of the cockpick of a bakfiets cargo bike. You can see the bike computer screen glowing in red. It shows the trip distance of 48.9 km and the trip time of 2 h 17 m. The odometer reads 31,039 km and the remaining range is 36 km. You can also see the top of the rain cover for the cargo box. There are two patches on it. One of a unicorn and one of a dog. They are upside down relative to the bike computer screen.
Yesterday was my first bike commute to work and back since February 18th! I gave myself extra time, but I didnβt take that much longer than usual. On my way home, I got to see the Lochside piggies (theyβve grown so much since last year ( [β¦]

Image of increased power usage daily year over year with EV charging now
We charge our #EV almost exclusively at home overnight since buying it 6 months ago. #BCHydro just did an adjustment on our equalized payments.
A tiny jump to drive our #electricvehicle everyday (wife commutes) in light of the cost of gas right now. (we also [β¦]

What I'm liking so far the most about being on the #fediverse is that my feed is mostly #photos and people sharing the uniqueness of their #dailylife . I like #Bluesky but it feels so heavy there with so much #news #politics #activism #advocacy which is important [β¦]

Related to my last post, Iβm in the City of Victoria for a medical appt. this morning and cargo bikes are a common sighting here now. I still get excited when I see them, but it goes beyond thatβ¦ it makes me happy and optimistic to see the normalization of cargo bikes as a mode of transportation [β¦]

Fediverse, can you please help me?
In family matters, I'm searching for Edward J. Garth.
Most likely US soldier stationed in Germany at the end of / after WWII.

I realised I haven't properly done an #introduction
I am Andrew an older software engineer who specialises in databases (I strongly believe a full stack engineer should know SQL!), I spend a lot of my time now helping the newest generation grow their skills in this field.
I love learning new [β¦]

Itβs not broken, it has completely disappeared.
First job?
Impossible.
Saving for education? Better get a loan.
Rent an apartment, with 4 friends, or live with your parents.
Down payment? Only if you have parents with the means.

I am so lucky to have found an online community here.
@cageyratfish.bsky.social agreed. I thibk Carney is out of his depth politically, but in terms of how to run an economy in the age of late-stage capitalism, there is no one more highly edicated and experienced. ;)

Very nice!
Exact same image as above except Bramble stretched out his left paw to show his toes.
And just like that, Bramble decided to celebrate Toes Out Tuesday :)

New Parliamentary session in Canada and the new leader of the NDP is getting down to business calling on the Government to ban surveillance pricing before it has a chance to take hold.
MP Leah Ghazan will be tabling a motion in the House, but [β¦]
Looks like the Premier is not willing to go to an election on it or even bring this very damaging legislation forward!
Wise move!

@sleepy62 OR! is this a very sneaky way to manufacture an election, catch the BC Conservatives without a leader, and try to gain a majority?
Risky!
@chris
I don't really understand what is driving him so hard. What do they know that we don''t? Is it that the "taking away private property" misinformation scare has taken hold across a large majority? Or is it that the big mining interested are freaking out over having to deal FN when staking [β¦]
ugh i never liked him but i almost wish he'd come back π©
@chris maybe this is _his_ walk in the snow and we'll see him come back to the House for round 2?
@tezoatlipoca could be. he has plenty of years left. Perhaps the next time the Liberals get decimated. Perhaps after an NDP prime minister has a go. ;=)
