Green hydrogen rabbit hole:
When last I looked into this a couple of years ago, I took as my reference point Professor Julian Allwood of @ukfires saying in 2022:
“Hydrogen has taken over as the current seductive buzzword, and the government’s Net Zero strategy published just a few months ago mentioned the word ‘hydrogen’ 501 times in 360 pages of text, even though as we stand there is not a single kilogramme of hydrogen being produced in the UK with zero emissions”
"I'm sorry. little Noisy One. I need to hang a couple things on the drier,"
She stood up, stared at me with a furious look.
She didn't run away though as she used to do.
She just sat in the corner keeping a certain distance, waiting and staring.
When I was done she went back to where she was. 😀
@reinodeboer @mfierst Een gezonde spanning rond verjaardagen en sinterklaas, met kerst hadden mijn ouders ruzie. Er was niet een groot feest wat belangrijk was. Mijn amandelen werden geknipt toen ik drie was, ik kreeg een bloeding en een bloedtransfusie en moest een paar dagen blijven, de ijsjes kreeg ik dus van het ziekenhuis. Ik kon naar buiten kijken en mijn moeder en oma kwamen op bezoek.
@peersky Would love to see PeerSky publishing to #AutonomiDweb. I have tried to interest folk in working in this but not happening yet AFAIK.

@sun @deadsuperhero I think ways to support servers would be cool like a tip jar

Its so awesome when someone, somewhere in the unknowable depths beneath where you do your piddly little computer things has an opinion that suddenly surges forth and forces November to have 31 days in a cyber-island you didn't even know you were on ruled by a monarch you didn't know existed
There are 14 recyclable calendars they recycle every 28 years. It _should_ just be a lookup table with an index to the year.
@TheBreadmonkey "Dan...DAN!"
@JackTheCat @TheBreadmonkey hah, that reminds me of the post-it we had on our fridge so that we remembered NOT to buy a dish that looked superb, but tasted like thick rods of uncooked dough:
We accept that crops grow and then get harvested and then the field lies fallow.
We accept that animals hibernate.
But when it comes to our own sense of meaning, we expect constant summer...

One day, when building £150+ million of seafront defences against climate change, we’ll figure that…
we’re gonna have to do this *without* diesel-powered heavy machinery and countless tonnes of carbon emissions, and we’re not going to get many practice runs at figuring out how.
So let’s do that.
But sadly not in 2025, because we are not remotely serious about the challenge
@urlyman
Hydrogen EV heavy machinery is probably the answer if we can make more Green hydrogen, but more effort seems to be going into developing HEV cars 🤦
Agroforestry involves growing trees alongside agricultural and horticultural crops, which can enhance ecosystem health and, in turn, increase food production
In certain cases, ProVeg Brazil found that pivoting away from livestock farming could lead to an income increase of up to 1,525 percent, particularly in biodiverse countries with high incomes and ready access to “specialized markets”

Peacock update.
I'm now angrily chasing it around the yard, Benny Hill style, shouting "GIT! GIT!" and waiving a broom at it. Sometimes in sasquatch pajama pants.
I wish I was joking.
It's still hanging around, it loves to roost on our deck at night. Or our roof.
@box464 I used a katapult with clay pellets. Worked like magic on some doves in our atrium. You don't have to hit. Just shoot next to it if you don't want to hurt it.
