This afternoon he suddenly started smooching and rolling on my feet. I was allowed to stroke him and scratch around his ears. Seems I'm his best friend now.

I think his name is Finn. At times when more syllables are needed I'll call him Finnigan.

So much fun. Just can't wait.

nostr:npub1eldr2t5pwm2mh6n6vulauex9hmuyztp6zf6pj079792r2n982jkqh364qe Notice how the onus is now on citizens to be "resilient"? No doubt we'll be expected to keep turning up at work in all kinds of climate- wrought havoc. And all this could have been prevented.

Could still be minimised.

But that ol' profit-making machine just has to keep on turning, doesn't it, right up until money becomes worthless because there's nothing left to buy.

nostr:npub1cjxswwwc9dfa97r2pmpaa76ce6t3lscxpk78y3s27dhls92p02ts3zz842 People need to re-evaluate their concept of "need to" as in "I need to fly to Sydney for this meeting."

That's not a need. Flying life-saving rare blood to Alice Springs is a need. Who's going to die if you use Zoom?

For some reason, electric cars often don't display a gauge showing the state of charge of the 12 volt battery. For a few dollars you can buy a volt meter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and does exactly that. They're usually sold as chargers for small devices like phones.

The problem is made worse when EV drivers don't even know that their car relies on a 12 volt battery to run the EV system.
