Chloe tenía un hueso verde de juguete desde que era cachorro, su juguete favorito hasta que por fin se rompió por la mitad y le compramos otro hueso verde.

Bueno pues Chloe dice que fuck el nuevo hueso verde, si el viejo aún se puede usar aquí no se tira nada.

I've just been asked how my home battery is doing 8 years later. The answer is: Fine!*
As per the reply I gave on YT:
"Remember, these cells are from a G1 Leaf. The worst of the worst, the Ford Model T. And they still run my house. To all those who say batteries are gonna be a waste problem I say not if you find uses for them and don't insist on brand new."

Try that with your Ranger fuel tank b*tches!

*Slightly more nuanced is that there's been some decline in capacity but I have pathetic data logging on it so I can't quantify it precisely. Not a huge decline though.

Edit: Before anyone says it, I take safety very seriously here. After this video was made I got a proper house for the battery to keep ignorant fingers and cups of coffee out of it!

In other words, people talk a good game, and even make organizations to do stuff - but there's no evidence people are actually willing to do what it takes to make the transition.

"It’s hard when you see a million negative policies happening, when you see the signs of climate change, when you hear the news of the impacts of climate change locally or across the planet, all these things. just status quo, continuing with status quo, to me is psychotic. And I think that’s why I’ve made my own life crazy because to me that feels less crazy than like everything else."

Managing energy descent means using less, not just building more: An interview with Richard Heinberg

Bought my first refurbished phone.
After the first week am super thrilled with the purchase.
The battery lasts days. Paid €150,- for a middle class Samsung.

Also, love the Rebuy logo. Very elegant with the hidden infinity symbol pointing towards circular use. Nice.

The 1% wealthiest people, globally, equals 80 million people. Collectively, they consume 10 times the resources(carbon emissions as a proxy for all resources) of the other 99%.
Correcting inequities in the distribution of food, shelter, health care, education, etc we could offer a decent life to everyone,(including the 1%) but we have to “bell that cat”.
