@davidaugust@mastodon.online“History is a bill we keep dodging. The North won the Civil War, the South won the memory. Reconstruction was left for dead, white terror became law, and Jim Crow swaggered in through the breach. That was a political decision to walk away before the work was finished, to protect comfort over Black lives. America pays interest on cowardice, generation after generation, and the bill never shrinks.”

@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nzAn eventful day at the home office so far... just spent the last 20 minutes trying to clean up the mess of pushing bag of besan (chick pea) flour off the top shelf in the pantry, which burst on impact, maximising dispersion on the coffee making stuff & the rest of the pantry. Much blue air was created. But before that had a magical few minutes when a pīwakawaka flew into the house, happily flew around a bit, & happily flew back out again.
@Jyoti@mas.toJust curious - do Yanks say 'aye' when not being pirates?
As a Derby person, if someone asks me something informally, I'll often respond with, "Oh aye!" Or, if they're bullshitting, "Oh aye?"
I'm guessing seppos would say "Oh yeah!" or "Oh YEAH?" but let's have a poll. Yaaay!
If you are a USAmerican, do you say 'aye' in the manner described above?

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioThat means that when there are many other stakeholders, you need somebody who’s institutionally empowered to tell those other stakeholders “no” sometimes.

@thoralf@soc.umrath.netIch habe die Entladewerte für die Sungrow-Batterie mal durchrechnen lassen.
Gemessene Werte für die SBR160 (nominell 16 kWh Nutzkapazität):
Ladung: 14,1 kWh
Entladung: 13,7 kWh
Das liegt beides deutlich unter der versprochenen Kapazität (~-13%) - aber ist nicht unerwartet.
Sungrow verspricht bekanntermaßen deutlich mehr, als sie tatsächlich halten.
Interessant ist der Ladungsverlust, der bei <3% liegt.

Anything we're doing that harms the environment harms _the environment we (and many other species) need to survive_.
If we continue to do so, we (and many other species) will die; much faster than this would happen "naturally".
But life will adapt and go on.
