Our shower drains into the grey water tank a
I’ve done the maths!
Shower water /is/ normally collected in grey water systems, but piss would be so diluted as to be a negligable contaminant. A shower uses roughly 70 litres of water. An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable - but for fruit trees, a fertiliser.
And they’re always eager to help out other people too.
A lot depends on where you are. Here in the UK (and most of Europe) there are very strong precedents about preparation time, including “pre-work meetings”, putting on PPE, tidying up, putting away. It’s all work. Unless you agree to do more (and are subsequently paid for that time, or exchange for time off in lieu), you don’t have to be on site before or after your contracted hours.
If you’re in the USA, I have no idea, other than you guys seem to have little protection.
At a non-legal, human perspective - she likely knows she’s giving your contradictory orders. That sounds like someone trying to make your life difficult and hoping you’ll quit. I’d talk to her manager if you can, or the boss if that’s feasible.
I’d rather see all my dogs, cats and horses again.
It’s not that good news goes unreported
Well, it literally is exactly that - not one mention of this in the mainstream media.
“not a single major news organisation reported anything about trachoma in 2025.”
It’s not the case that it was drowned out, it was never said at all.
I used wview for years, and published a couple of weather stations publically. Sadly that looks to be abandoned now.
Nowadays I just run Home Assistant and combine an anenometer, a rain tip gauge and about a million different temperature sensors into that, mostly with 8266’s running Esphome to collect and forward that data. It’s a fun and cheap little hobby if you like collecting data. The gauge and anenometer were off aliexpress for about £5 each, the esps about the same, and temp sensors less than a quid each. All software foss of course, and uses almost no resources so can run on any linux server.
This is true. I get insane write speeds when storing data in /dev/null
Hero of War also a strong fave of mine. Bleak as fuck. No Bravery by James Blunt is on similar lines.
“Boys will be boys” by Stella Donnelly. Best listened to blind, imo, so won’t give context.
Hero of War by Rise Against. An American soldier’s view of war.
Raoui by Souad Moussi (I can’t understand arabic so she might be singing a shopping list, but the pain in her voice gives me shivers every time)
No Bravery by James Blunt. A British soldier’s view of war.
I have a long playlist of stuff like this called “Managed Melancholy” - it’s part of my mental health self care to immerse myself in sad sometimes and really feel. (I’m fine btw, and this is part of giving me an outlet)
Some of us gamers have been training for that our whole lives.
Why add age checks?
I’ve read this from several sources now and not found anywhere that explains why they’re doing this. Are they being threatened with legal action?
Agree. Although Mariadb has drifted significantly (and with very good reason) in terms code, features and SQL - I still mentally parse “Mysql” as “MariaDb”. It’s one of the best forks I’ve ever encountered in all my time using foss. I currently maintain around 80 MariaDb servers and have remarkably few problems.
Much as I like to see variety in software, I do kind of wish more recognition of MariaDb was given, and more support.
Imagine having only two parties. Wild.
/Colour/ Photocopiers cost about the same as a new car back then, so whilst they existed, they weren’t exactly within access to schoolkids.
Google Tasks isn’t listed here.
This was something I relied upon heavily. When I de-googled, I didn’t want to just move it to another cloud platform, and as a selfhoster I tried quite a few self hosted solutions. Some were very good, but also quite complicated and filled with features I didn’t want.
So I wrote my own - Taskpony - and made it FOSS. It evolved into something that’s not a Google tasks copy, but suits my own needs better. Simple, easy, useful. I’ve really enjoyed the process of writing and sharing this.
Not a Lemmy resource, but if you do want reasonably unbiased news that gets suppressed - especially in certain countries, Wikipedia does cover some of it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
1490s
Yeah. Why didn’t people just stay put?
I’m older than most on here and seen more decades, and yes, I agree totally.
We’re lucky enough to have lived through a long period of relative global peace, but that seems to be drawing to an end. Corruption, fascism, stupidity, control, fear and lack of freedom are all far more now than at any time since the 1940s.
20 years old, self employed manual worker who broke his leg whilst on a night out drinking. The only night’s drinking I’d ever been on before or since.
How quickly I ended up without any money and unable to pay rent was a real eye opener. The bank I’d used all my life denied me a very small loan, I had no friends I felt I could ask for money. Fortunately I live in a country where health care is free, and my sole client kept a place open for me to limp back into when the plaster came off. I managed to stay out of serious debt and kept a roof over my head, but skipped a lot of meals and went without heating for a few months. I’ve never forgotten the feeling of helplessness and that has been a driver for a lot of my life’s spending and saving habits. We take a lot of things for granted, but they can often be taken away so quickly.
