Seem a fair few ebikes that look incredibly proprietary and I wouldn’t want to touch it because of that. Much prefer a standardised battery I can plug into a hub motor if I was to get an ebike. Currently just using a regular bike.

That is kinda shit. Would be curious what my own % is. I don’t even use fossil fuels directly.

Makes me glad I have been actively avoiding fossil fuel dependency where I can…

I wish the water was that clear here. Went for a swim at the beach yesterday evening and visibility was about 30cm. Couldn’t even see my elbow.

Its always bad but not usually that bad. On a good day with goggles on you can almost make out your own feet.

Fun fact, suicide rates rise and fall with the clock changes based on how much sleep people lose or gain.

If you find out please let me know

Finally some competition for the Citroen Ami?

I do wonder how low the price of things like that could be. Like a scooter with a plastic frame around it, under £1k?

No. You need permission from the (local) government to live anywhere. Houses come with this permission, but if you buy a field or woodland it does not. Fuck all chance of getting it outside of some very special edge cases.

The RAM makes it harder to say get a new PC though.

If you don’t need the RAM then a mini PC of some form (latte panda?) might be a better choice, very low power consumption on some of them.

But another thing to consider is if the server isn’t running 24/7 then power usage is lower too. Depends what you actually do with it. It has storage, backups? For that it only needs to turn on for a few minutes/hours a week and then shutdown again.

People largely have double glazing instead of triple because people don’t replace their windows very often so they will be using something older. Triple is getting more common for new installs but how often do you replace windows?

Yep. Everything is designed to force individualism. You need to buy a house, illegal to live in a tent even if you own land which is comparably cheap.

So I can legally buy an acre of woodland for under £20k, possibly £10k at a push though they usually charge more per area for small patches, depends on location. I could also build several cabins or put up multiple tents, so far all legal.

The moment someone lives there, illegal. The government can now seize the property. They have done so in the past when people have tried.

“Nothing is stopping you” - actually not true, you need government permission and they will just say no.

Can we get some more electric ships, or at least hybrid so they don’t have to use diesel engines close to shore.

Its so hot though, and doesn’t even guarantee not getting one. Most of the ones I find days later are under where clothing was.

Also doesn’t help that they are absolutely tiny. I can run my hands over my legs and easily miss one until a while later.

The good news: since buying a house and doing my part, I now see more bees than I have ever seen before in my life.

Also started to see quite a few grasshoppers recently.

UK so its high regardless of where.

They are sorta legal here but a pain to get. Electric tuktuk is probably the best choice. Then stick the solar panels at home.

Oh yeah just ask the climate to wait. Sure it will be fine. Ffs, right in the middle of a really bad heatwave too?

Good point. I live near the sea and it doesn’t seem to get as hot here.

Tbh I find the main issue is being hot and sweaty where ever you are contacting a bed or sofa. That could be solved with just a decent cooling pad to sit on.

Also really hot when I get in from a bike ride. But that is going to happen most of the year regardless of AC.
