I just discovered this program: interest-free loans up to $10,000 for any LGBTQIA+ person in the US who needs money to leave their current home

I thought I’d post about it in case anyone can make use of it

Keshet-HFLS “Move to Thrive” Interest-Free Loan Program - Keshet

Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are partnering to offer interest-free loans of up to $10,000 for individuals and families to support relocation

@hyc Hmmm, I don't have much time left to pull this together.

The future of resilient society is solar on every roof, beer fridge sized batteries in every basement, shipping crate sized batteries in every tall building and fractal energy independence in any urban environment.

I suspect one of the unintended consequences of the current shooting in the middle east is a massive push for most of the world to shift to wind and solar for their electricity generation needs, even moreso than had been underway. The more of your energy generation that's *not* dependent on a regular flow of anything (aside from electrons) the more insulated you are from geopolitical bullshit.

WEATHER IS HAPPENING

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.

This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).

Luigi's height and generosity represents the wheat stalk; when we feast upon the harvest we embody Wario's girth and greed.

Waluigi stands for the lean times that come during winter. As the snows melt he is replaced by Mario, whose plumber nature blesses the fixing of pipes that burst from the cold.

I'm building a list of #slopfree software projects to help developers, businesses and software users make choices about their software usage.

And I wanted to provide a (semi-)positive counterpart to the AI doom.

Happy to take suggestions and contributions!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for their support! I will need time to process all the replies, I will get back to you over the next few days.

EDIT 2: I've compiled the contributions into the project - thanks for your suggestions! If any are missing, please file an issue or PR so I can easily track suggestions

"Ask most people, and the image of wind turbines as bird killers still persists, often amplified by anti-renewable rhetoric. But if you look at the hard data, a different story emerges. It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms. In fact, when you factor in climate change, wind power might actually help birds."

Data not only shows the relative impact of wind turbines on bird deaths, but also gives us the insight to reduce their impact further.
