She/Her pronouns only please.

The same CounselingTechie from Solarpunk.moe.

I like to garden and try to find ways to bring joy and hope into my world.

  • Figured something out today that in hindsight seems rather obvious

  • Of course not, Officer!

  • Just saw my pepper plant has put out its first blooms! ☺️☺️☺️

  • That is awesome! You got this little pepper friend!

  • What Solarpunk changes have you made in your daily life?

  • Soldering alone wouldn't work. The house is a monolithic dome, so it has over 20 inches of concrete for the outer most dome layer. I'd have to drill with masonry bolts and risk cracking the concrete of the house for it.

    It may be wise to make a post about potential masks that are BIFL for working with air pollutants.

  • To add about the dressing house up or down,

    During the last winter even when it was snowing and in the single-digits outside, we didn't have to turn on the heating for the house using the boiler. By dressing the house up, and ourselves dressing up a bit, the house was plenty warm and comfortable.

  • For me I admit not as much as I'd like.

    I was unable to get solar panels for my house, due to the city's rulings. My house being a dome lacks a traditional roof for solar panels, and the city has a lot of strict rulings against solar panels not on roofs, mostly because the city council hates solar energy. Of course, I have small solar panels with power stations in the yard.

    The house also is specifically one that is efficient for such purposes, and we practice dressing it up during the year. Currently we have blackout curtains over the windows that get hotter during the day-time barring the south-facing in my office, where I simply close that door. We also have curtains over hallways. While we have to use a rolling air conditioner due to the house's setup, we focus on only cooling the room that we are in or sleep in during the day-time, and during the night even if it is still 70s to 80s outside, we do what we can do to cool the rest of the house.

    I have my own garden I grow vegetables and herbs in, as well as having an indoor garden in a south-facing window with a trellis shelf I built. I am able to grow plants year round. I pickle, dehydrate, and similar methods for everything I grow for the purposes of usage throughout the year, including using the brine from pickling for recipes. Also we make stuff during the night-time and put it to cool, making it able to be eaten several meals instead of every meal-time turning on a stove and cooking.

    My spouse and I both have knowledge on repair, both around the house but also clothing, adding our own bits of charm when needed. I also have experience with repairing my bicycle as well as repairing my car, having been a mechanic in the past.

  • More Twin Cities families using ‘cargo bikes’ to haul groceries and children

    Jump

  • One of the hardest parts of these articles is that I love hearing about them, hearing how much people are making progress and change, until I see the locations. I love seeing that a metropolitan area has this, and it warms my heart to see people able to make progress.

    My bike is not a cargo bike, just a normal city bike with bags on it, which is satisfactory for the 3 miles of highway I have to bike to the nearest store, and then 3 miles back, ever since the one that was closer had closed down. I do this at night, or first in the morning, as where I live during the daytime it reaches over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, over 39 degrees Celsius.

  • German startup advancing compressor-free electrocaloric heat pump technology

  • This would be fascinating and ideal for many people's homes. Especially if it is a window unit base.

  • To finally bury this one anti-renewables astroturfed Reddit comment

    Jump

  • Seeing this non-stop on Reddit, now seeing it migrated here lol.

    It is stalking me like my intrusive thoughts to become a hermit in the woods.

  • Employees who embrace ‘corporate bullshit’ make worse decisions

    Jump

  • Well yeah, they decided to embrace corporate bullshit, that is already a terrible decision.

  • What IRC options are best recommended, and just work? I have seen a few people discuss lounge as an option, but wanted to see thoughts here too before I commit to setting something up for my family.

  • I'll check out the Matrix, and if alright I can get back to you about other ideas?

  • What’s a “red flag” sign you’re burning out?

    Jump

  • My big red flag was when I had a client bawling because they remembered the day was the anniversary of their child's death.

    And said "okay" before walking on to complete my rounds.

  • Would you happen to have a recipe, or an idea of how you did it?

    Also that sounds amazing with garlic mustard!!

  • Could glow-in-the-dark plants replace street lamps?

    Jump

  • This is a part of it too for me. I would love the idea of seeing more of the bioluminscence in park space scenes, third spaces, etc. Where community gather to be present with each other.

  • Could glow-in-the-dark plants replace street lamps?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I have been thinking about this a bit.

    The purpose of the street lamp for the most part, as opposed to carrying the lamp with you when walking or out?

    The issue is that is not efficient on people, as it puts a lot on people to carry their own flashlights or whatever have you. I also think how street lamps for the most part nowadays are for cars to have more light to see.
