As someone on slrpnk I definitely appreciate people posting to our communities!
Definitely worth cross posting!
IIRC based on the snazzy labs video about it, the answer to both those questions is yes
Wait why's it ironic? The UK is in Europe
I realise this isn't a good solution for everyone, but my phone lives on do not disturb mode and only lets calls through (and even then my phone tends to stay on vibrate). It's nice, generally leaves me uninterrupted when I'm doing other stuff.
Oh wow, this actually makes sense now
Switches located next to the door are for lighting, as opposed to switches on the socket which mean you can fully turn off your rice cooker without unplugging it. We do sometimes have sockets in the UK with the switch at the door, but they are usually a different shape socket that is designed for a lower current and is only intended to be used for floor lamps.
PFAS levels in the groundwater on Jersey have gotten so bad that they actually are recommending bloodletting there.
Thank you, you too!
My main concern with going would be that I can't keep my mouth shut about politics... And I don't fancy getting in trouble abroad
They told you to guess!
What?
I can't help but feel that the punishment is overly harsh. Yes he absolutely shouldn't have done it. But they haven't said that it actually caused any harm, and he was doing it in good faith (although, again shouldn't have). They also admit that his financial situation could justify a reduced penalty, so it feels ridiculous that they don't reduce the penalty to something he can actually afford.
That's so smart! Thanks for the tip
The open toolchain foundation also has a similar list I think
This is going to be a new hardware product, so presumably something like an Amazon echo
It may be worth getting a weatherproof electrical box. You can get ones designed to just hold an extension lead, and that should provide enough safety without making it too cumbersome

FarmBot is an open source project aimed at making CNC farming accessible to as many people as possible.
RepRap is a project about democratising and decentralising manufacturing through low-cost open source 3D printers.
3D printers give communities the ability to repair items even when official replacement parts don't exist. They also allow people to produce small runs of custom parts, where more traditional manufacturing methods may be wasteful.
There are obviously issues with sustainability in the 3D printing community, primarily with material source, material recycling/composting, and waste. But even with these current issues, 3D printers provide a lot of utility and may have a place in our solarpunk future.

Amybo is a non-profit open source community project working on protein fermentation in an effort to reduce the carbon intensity of food production, as well as improve climate resilience as things like crop failures become more common.
The project is currently focussed on the low-cost distributed science aspect, but their website says they want biotechnologists, chefs, coders, creatives, engineers, enthusiasts, environmentalists, makers, medics, microbiologists, and nutritionists. So basically... Just lots of people.
They're still in the early stages but looks like a fun project to get involved in.
