Not a terribly insightful article for people who aren't deeply familiar with what those policies actually do, which is what I was curious about. All I could gather is that most of the country is electrified and they invested in maintaining and building paved roads.

Dried lentils are an incredibly versatile ingredient, keep forever, are cheap and healthy, and unlike dried beans, do not require overnight soaking to use in a meal.

If your state salts the roads in the winter, it's strongly recommended to undercoat your vehicle with a coating to preserve it from rusting and shortening its useful life. Fluid Film is one of the better coatings, and is based on sheep lanolin, so it's not toxic to the environment.

4wheel drive is nice, but tires are EVERYTHING. You absolutely cannot rely on all season tires, you MUST get proper Winter tires if your region snows heavily, or you will have a bad time.

There are now fabric snow 'socks' for cars that act like snow chains to get you out if a bind, which would be worth having in the trunk.

In the winter, ALWAYS bring winter rated clothing in the car along with water, a small amount of food, heavy duty blanket, and a small liquid paraffin candle for heat in the event you get stuck in a storm, or go off the road from ice.

There's so many good options now: Eternity, Raccoon, Voyager, Jerboa, I'd give the competition a look and donate to the one you settle on.

Very cool! I like her retro aesthetic!

Title: The success story of guerrilla photovoltaics as a solar punk narrative

Post Body: In recent years, photovoltaics have become widespread in Germany in a decentralized manner. The solar punk vision of a self-sufficient, more climate-friendly energy supply is getting a little closer. This is also a success story of social transformation, advanced by Do It Yourself and disobedience (both central characteristics of punk), through serious global crises, social role models and positive social contagion effects.

Alas, Simon Clark is a youtuber. If you don't mind the lack of context, all the links to the different sources of climate news and science journals he uses are in the description.

In a way, or at least in spirit, it's similar to the Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools, which is something NODE has mentioned enjoying before. So I suppose it is more of a catalog. It is unfortunate it's reliant on having an internet connection to be used, but still, quite an impressive collection.

Not really sure what to critique, all I can say is it's absolutely awesome! 😄

One version of the recipe was accidentally leaked a while back. It's not the exact formulation they sell today, but apparently it's damn close.

I believe to ping someone, you need to put an @ symbol before their name instead of /u/. Depending on how you're interacting with Lemmy (web or app) it should provide some means of auto completing the ping.

LPT for anyone who uses a traditional bank: Switching to a Credit Union that purposefully doesn't invest in fossil fuels can reduce the climate impact of your money.
