I live on a small #farm in #Vermont (US) with my partner, https://glammr.us/@sarahscully, our rescue #dog, https://pixelfed.social/leopoldregulus, and ̶s̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ six #sheep. I also like drinking and #brewing #craftbeer. I strive to be kind and considerate. 🍻

#FunFactFriday: A New York-based designer has developed the Wind Fence, which is capable of quietly producing 2200kWh of energy a year, and an array of units can be installed on fences, rooftops, and balconies. Would you be interested in these? News Source: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/vertical-turbine-airiva

@mattferrell they are actually good looking and I hope folks adopt them. Not for me as we don’t even have a railing in our porch — it gets in the way of the view (and there are no children around).

@Mojeek depends. Do you use Substack for the newsletter?

rickscully,
@rickscully@mastodon.social avatar

@Mojeek good to know. Thanks for replying.

I still would be more likely to use your search engine if you didn’t provide an index of Substack.

rickscully,
@rickscully@mastodon.social avatar

@Mojeek SIGH. So you will still be helping Substack with their Nazi problem. Disappointing.

Due to some personal reasons, I won’t be able to attend in-person WWDC after all. Super jealous of everyone who will be there, and can’t wait to watch it all from home!

@fahrni does eat oats and mares eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid will eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?

Yes. Goats will eat ivy.

Anyone who says “this is good for him actually” has pundit brain rot. In no world does being a convicted felon help you win undecided voters. Go talk to an actual person.

Also, anyone saying that being found guilty of fraud 34 times is good for him should immediately be asked how being found not guilty would have been bad for him.

@fraying I am less concerned with undecided voters than I am the electoral college.

Just checking pricing at the major carriers and $183/month for three lines is $60 higher than our Mint Mobile cost and the AT&T pricing has that nice little caveat: “plus taxes and fees”

So tack on another $40-50/month, maybe more.

TELL ME THE REAL PRICE UP FRONT! 🤬

rickscully,
@rickscully@mastodon.social avatar

@fahrni @BillSaysThis not that you asked but we’ve used Cricket for over a decade and are happy with them. 2 lines with 5GB, WiFi calling, etc for $60 including $5 bonus for doing auto pay. Uses AT&T and has been reliable when I travel domestically. YMMV

Um.. #Vermont .. what’s up with this 46 F (~8C)? I mean… it’s certainly “refreshing”… and I do understand we’re just 45 minutes south of the Canadian border… but did Mother Nature miss the memo about last weekend being Memorial Day and “the start of summer”? 🤣

rickscully,
@rickscully@mastodon.social avatar

@danyork Mother Nature cares not for your made up holidays telling her what to do. Besides the solstice is the start of summer.

Anybody have a favorite pen that writes well in Field Notes notebooks?

I just got a set and want something more casual than fountain pens.

On today's episode of ✨️ Gina's Unnecessary Projects ✨️ We're building a kitchen island from wood scraps! Yaaay.

I need to get rid of these old boards and tiles in my shed, and my friend needs a kitchen island. Win win, right? 🔥

Current status: after some advanced maths I realized I don't have enough wood, so now the challenge is to find beams for the legs that look sort of similar to the rest of the wood. Aka "such a fun and cheap project wait how did this still cost me €100?" 💸💸💸

The table top (still had to be cut to size here)
The inspo ✨️

So Siren has had a character floating around the website for a while. I think she has become the mascot for the plugin.

I feel like she should have a name. What should it be?

@alexstandiford But none of the Sirens had an S name! 🤣

I like one of the names used, Molpe, which means “song” apparently.

My Apple Card is expiring this summer, and the replacement physical card arrived in the mail today. Activating was super-duper easy—just bring it in close proximity to your iPhone and tap a button or two on screen. Done.

But what do I do with the old card? It's titanium so it's not easily destroyed.

I've had metal Amex cards since 2010 or so. When Amex sends a replacement card, they include a return envelope custom made for mailing them your expired card for recycling.

[See thread for update]

@gruber I saw that they include a return mailer in an article on Macrumors, so I was expecting it:

Our final inspections are done for the heavy up, EV charger and range outlet, and Pepco has come to connect our new service line, so I could finally reinstall the Emporia Vue Energy monitor in our new panel. It’s working great and now my #HomeAssistant energy dashboards are working again. 🤓

@john jelly. Our long driveway means it is too expensive to heavy up.

Excited for you though!

Whenever I pass by a Chik fil a in a progressive city with a gigantic line I think it’s kind of amazing a chicken sandwich can taste good enough that everyone’s cool with the homophobia they’re helping fund

rickscully,
@rickscully@mastodon.social avatar

@chrisod @mathowie really? Avoiding chick-fil-a seems like the EASIEST of ways to fight homophobia. No one is being asked to picket or march or do ANYTHING hard.

@TechConnectify watching your informative rain sensor video and have a(n) unrelated question(s):

Are those OEM seats or do you have 3rd party covers? If the latter, what did you install, and do you like them?

My partner is interested in covers for her new Kona EV and I am looking for 1st hand recommendations.

Thanks!

If a desktop environment follows you, would you feel the obligation to try it?

Like its almost as if this was meant to be, it looks similar to MacOS which I use atm... spooky

@dansup and you are getting all the responses one would expect after making that statement 🤣
