I was thinking the same thing and was about to ask you what’s your budget, cause they are super expensive. Another solution could be some boots made as work equipement. And sorry for not having something more specific, like a brand

Now that I think more about it, when we talk about boots that last forever like, this means to me that they will need to be repaired at some point. Why not ask a shoe repair service near you this too?

This article would be great for another community, for example about climate, the environment, politics. But it’s not relevant to Green Energy

Track_Shovel could you perhaps add a third design that is unisex, in your lovely collection. I really don’t know what to choose! :)

I suppose, yes and no. In a way the tricky thing is to know what to look for: to be able to recognize that a slimy texture is a sign that it has gone bad.

Here are some more medically reviewd tips from healthline:

Does Rice Go Bad? Shelf Life, Expiration Date, and Safe Storage

Of course this approach has its limits. I thought it was clear when I said that this method is to “check if food went bad”.

If something like meat has not been cooked, or a dairy product has not been properly pasteurised, or there where unsanitary food production conditions, or not canned properly etc, this method does not apply.

It is definately not a way to check if something is eadible in general. And if you are pregnant or have special diatery needs, you know the specifics of your situation.

I don’t remember who told me this “system” to check if food went bad, but it’s a great one imo

1. If it looks good, smell it
2. If it smells good, taste it
3. If it tastes good, eat it

If I got your question right, this would be the answer

And it’s not meant to replace ambulances or helicopters. “It’s meant to be a complementary technology,” he said. Getting medical help to patients in rural areas faster while they wait for transportation to arrive can shave off crucial minutes and save lives.

I need to read more about solarpunk as a social movement.

There’s link at the mo, at the very top of our front page. Here it is: ☀️ New to Solarpunk? Click here.

The way I see things, law enforcement and military are there to serve and protect those who are higher up in social hierarchies, as well as their wealth, even tho we are fed the story that they work for us, common people. In reality, they are a top-down structure, full of corruption, racism, sexism etc, and I really don’t feel safe around them.

So in order to answer your question, I would need to reframe it. It could be something like: how do people and areas can be protected, from other people or groups of people who are bad actors, within a society that does not have hierarchical structures (meaning that is organized in a horizontal way)?

For me, the answer is not a sweeping rigid model that will be applied everywhere, all the time. People from different places see things differently, so local solutions need to be applied. Cultures worldwide have dealt with these things. So, one solution would be to look into their examples and find ideas that would fit our community’s needs, and take it from there.

(If the questions was about the justice system, I would suggest to look into restorative justice, as well as transformative justice)

It’s the first video of SquidTips I didn’t like. I haven’t seen them all, just many.

The points he made in the second half (from what I recall) were valid on a theoretical level.

On a practical level and in relation to the first part of the video, the things that created the fraction need to be addressed and clarified before the action (and he does talk about this). So, what sort of organizing are we talking about if these basic things are not clear beforehand? As he said it himself, when he disagrees with tactics he just doesn’t go, cause there are plenty of things to do anyways.

Also, I think that he should have waited longer before posting this. I believe if he would have given it some time, his analysis would have deep enough not to remind me of i’m a better anarchist than you.

Dammit then. I started posting in this community every now and then lately, mainly as a reminder that EVs are not only cars. From your comment and the ratio of upvotes/downvotes, it looks like my attempt was not fruitfull.

I suppose, there is room to include other EVs here. We could be talking about electric public transport like (busses, trains), electric bikes, electric boats etc, not only about cars, brands, new models, dollars etc. This is just a wish on my behalf, and I thought of contributing with the sort of content I would like to see more of.

Btw here is a recent post from another community here, related to cars (not only!) and I really hope you enjoy it :) https://slrpnk.net/post/40518356

I don’t know why other people downvoted it, the reason why I did can be found here:

I second that! I am not too sure about hops tbh, in the sense that they don’t seem to thrive/survive where I live, but the idea of using vegetation is helping greatly to cool the microclimate. The downside is that you will need at least a balcony, the bigger it is, the more vegetation you can have, and the more you have, the cooler it will be. If you have a garden, it’s a whole other level, in the best possible way.

This approach is also great because you can plant eatibles, and have your own veggies and fruits.

I will defo check it out today, cheers!

And on a similar note, here is an article from a couple of months back:

US-China head-to-head: Explained in 11 maps and charts

Before President Trump’s visit to Beijing, Al Jazeera compares the US and China on economics, military and resources.

Just to note something that was not mentionned in the video: if we talk about an area that gets snow, vertical ones can be the best choice because they do not hold any snow during winter.

The holder of this coin is entitled to 2-3 hours of gardening, […]

This reminded me of time-banks.

It was used a lot in South American cities, at some point during the economic crisis of 2008. In practice it was working like this: people would declare in a sort of ledger what they can do and for how many hours, as well as what they needed and for how many hours. Everybody’s time was equaly valuable, no matter what they did.

It was going so well that they tried to accomodate stuff that would not fit in the time category, like renting a house. So they printed some sort of “contracts”/“money”. Government and mafia, printed counterfit and the project never recovered since.

(It’s been quite some time since I looked into this topic, so if I don’t remember something accurately, please let me know)

I noticed in the comments everyone really likes them, but this is not my experience.

True, no leakage. Mine, I got it at least 6 years bacl, never put in a dishwasher and it’s as good as new. But whenever I used it for a hot beverage, everything turns bad in it so much faster than anywhere else. Initially I thought I was not cleaning it well enough. I cut a sponge to reach everywhere and I was doing it daily, with the thingy lifted like in the last picture. I concluded it’s not that. It’s like the perfect conditions are created for new life to appear in it.

I still use it all the time, but only for water. Which also turns bad, but at least it can hold for a day or something, depending if it is room temp or cold.

Intreseting point you made there, and I think you are correct. Found this relevant percentage about Chile, Santiago. And damn, I had to do some digging.

According to official data, the fleet went from 922 electric buses in 2022 to 4,088 units in February 2026, and is projected to reach 4,400 electric buses during 2026 – a figure equal to roughly 68% of the entire system fleet. [source]

To clarify and to my understanding, here they talk about the Red Movilidad system fleet which is the public transport system that serves Santiago.
