@stephenesherman I’d say prioritize. If the environment is top priority and Tesla is the best (I don’t know) that should be the basis unless there is another competitor that is worthy on both the environ and humanity scale, or close. It’s highly probable, regardless you’ll be supporting vastly wealthy people, but it is the hand we were given. 🤔

Is there a #mastodon consensus position on #tesla ? Obviously ev’s are environmentally positive. Personally, I despise #musk and deactivated my #twitter account a few months ago. But for #ev ’s the Tesla was better and cheaper than others we looked at, and was *actually available* … It’s a conundrum. 😞
@GreenFire I could afford to buy them, average citizens can’t afford this kind of expense. For widespread adoption, It’s something that should be subsidized by govt. Neither of the 2 companies I looked at mentioned anything about credits. In addition this kind of expense is more suitable for long term . I maybe moving soon and it just did not make sense for my circumstance. However I admit I don’t like living in a state where I’m dependent on the grid for a livable environment.

Everyone has a price they're willing to pay towards decarbonizing their lives for sure. All I'd like is for everyone to put a value on helping to provide a stable climate for future generations of humans and especially the other innocent species, but it is indeed a personal choice.
@bohemianchic@aus.social Because someone I knew introduced me to M was there. I would not say a word. 🙃 Seriously I’ve not figured out why I would want to be in any particular instance, more exposure to the “M” home front whoever is there? Prestige by association? Maybe you can educate me on the answers? Not spoofing you, I’m serious. 🙂

@LifeTimeCooking Morning G! Literally the first thing I did on arriving home last night (after squeezing kitteh) was to put my claypot on to soak 🤣. Hopefully tomorrow will be congee day. Will unpack all our stuff today and get cooking with the Indian goodies. Boy have I missed my kitchen!
Also, husband just popped down to our little local Italian deli (the best in CBR I'm told by an Italian friend) and they stock the correct lemon taralli, yay! @MarkAsser

This pay for play is beyond ridiculous.

Here's a link to an interesting #XKCD #comic showing the timeline of #temperature changes on #earth! A very useful resource to share with people who dismiss today's #ClimateChange by saying "the #climate has changed before". https://xkcd.com/1732/

Herrnstein Castle in the municipality of Ruppichteroth (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis) dates back to a simple fortified house built around 1300. In the course of time, it was rebuilt into a castle and received its current appearance in the 19th century.
Since 1436, the estate has been owned by the Lords (later: Counts) of Nesselrode.

In this modern age of hacks, scams, and identity theft, it's always a good thing to help those you collaborate with to know that the document they've received is actually from you. https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/what-is-the-libreoffice-digital-signature-feature-and-how-do-you-use-it/#ftag=RSSbaffb68

At #SundayBrunch:
Me:...and then we saw a peacock!
Bestie: Oh, you met George!
Me: What.
Bestie: George. He lives in the neighborhood now -- by Trader Joe's. The neighborhood news is that he used to live in Emeryville.
Me: Uh huh...
Bestie: But the fireworks on the 4th of July must have freaked him out. Because right after that he showed up here.
Me: What??
Bestie: Oh, yes. So he lives here now, and he roosts in a tree on that street. Around 8 pm every night, he climbs into a tree and all the neighbors watch him.
Me: He just...ascends.
Bestie: [eating her bagel] That's what they do.
@quintessence “And”is an addition, “but” is a counter. 😀

It is so weird to be in your 30s and still be staring at sentences to figure out if the conjunction you want is "and" or "but".
You would think this would be straightforward, and/but it happens all the time.
@fuzzyduck I want to hear a pun! 🙃
