@cdarwin@c.imAcquiring solar panels at home can be an expensive hassle for people in the US.
But small, simple, plug-in solar panels for use on balconies are soon to become available for millions of Americans,
with advocates hoping the technology will quickly go mainstream.
Balcony solar panels are now widespread in countries such as Germany
– where more than 1m homes have them
– but have until now been stymied in the US by state regulations.
This is set to change, wit…

@mcdanlj@social.makerforums.infoToday at work, hamalert went off on my phone. @… was activating the state capital, two blocks away from me, on 20m. For once, not in my skip! I grabbed my QMX, ran up three flights of stairs out onto the patio, pulled all the parts together, and...
silence.
I looked off the balcony at the state capital groun…

@mariyadelano@hachyderm.ioSo I grew up next to #Chernobyl and this is, well, TERRIFYING.
A story for y’all: I’m from a city called Zhytomyr, 2 hours west of Kyiv in the North of #Ukraine. We were downwind of the Chernobyl #nuclear power plant when the 1986 disaster happened.
I wasn’t born for another 12 years, but my childhood was filled with stories and the aftermath of it all. Things like:
- My grandmother worked as a head doctor in a hospital and rehabilitation facility exclusively for children of Chernobyl victims to treat the extremely high prevalence of Tuberculosis and other severe health complications. (To specify: these were SECOND GENERATION of exposure).
- A lot of the kids in that facility were orphans, because their parents died young from health problems.
- My uncle’s wife was born in Pripyat. She was 1 year old when the disaster happened. Her parents were told to evacuate while given no information about what happened. They had to pack up their things and rush out to an unfamiliar city with their baby, never to see the rest of their belongings, apartment, or hometown again.
- When I was a kid, it became so common to see weirdly mutated animals and insects that even 2-3 year olds would make jokes about “Chernobyl mosquitos” and I wouldn’t even flinch seeing occasional giant bugs, dark frogs, weird-looking dogs.
- We’d frequently hear of nearby farms having issues with their animals being born too mutated to survive or random outbreaks from contaminated water / food. Crops would randomly fail. People would get poisoned on a regular basis. This all got less common as I grew up.
- My mother still remembers being a little girl, 10 years old, and looking outside from their balcony at the clouds blowing over from Chernobyl that day. People were told to not go outside and to shut all the windows, but not given an explanation as to why. My mother swears that the rain looked different. They weren’t able to go and buy more food for the kitchen for multiple days.
Anyway - nuclear safety isn’t a joke. I don’t understand how this level of carelessness can happen after Chernobyl and Fukushima.

super cool!! balcony solar panels!
@paulbusch@mstdn.caBack from dinner at our favourite fish and chips restaurant, just a short walk from our daughter's apartment. Now we're chilling until midnight and I'm hoping to get some pictures of fireworks over the skyline visible from her balcony.

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioHow cold is it outside?
This is our #refrigerator for 3 weeks: Just leaving things outside on the balcony, under a very warm blanket.🥶
In fact, it got so cold in the last few days that we had to bring things back indoors so they don't freeze too much.🥶🥶
