The ‘culture war’ is no such thing, it is just another wedge being inserted and hammered home by those who dislike people uniting for their families, communities and themselves.

For gods sake, even insurance companies have noticed the improvements in accident claims and the stats that demonstrate fewer injuries before we look at the benefits of more social roads talk to this.

Sharing good news as a tonic: The State of Washington rejected an initiative that would have repealed the carbon auction cap-and-trade system. It has produced revenues for greatly increased investments in transit, active transportation, home energy improvements, and other climate-friendly work (including programs I oversee so yes I'm relieved).

It's the off-season for #cycling , so I did some measurements for a hub #dynamo and published them on my #blog.

No one on the 'net seems to show how voltage changes depending on load, so I measured that.

Results:
- a dynamo is not a actually well modeled as a current source
- voltage spikes will fry your #electronics , but you can prevent it

Since 16 months we are #cycling around the world 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🌍 ❤️
The first months it was the new, exciting #bikepackinglife, then it became 'normal' life - obvious & totally fine! Open-end #traveling is not like #holyday... So, we have to find out how to live this new life...
We missed to take some longer breaks, now we are really in need for it.
We long for privacy, space where each of us can move alone & do things by himself, we desire good people around us to talk. We need to refill energy!

Science shows #ClimateChange 🌡️ is causing adverse impact on humans and these will get worse.

Droughts 🥵, Floods 🌊, Storms 🌪️ heatwaves ♨️ and wildfires 🔥 are all getting more intense and more frequent

Time to go #NetZero as soon as possible.

If we facilitate traffic, our cities are flooded with cars. 🚗

If we facilitate human interaction, our cities flourish for humans. 👣

🚗 More cars = less friends.💃

People living on streets with heavy traffic do have less friends and less acquaintances on average.

The next day Laureleen invited us to visit her familys place 12km further.
Imagine a huge oasis, a #permaculture garden with greenhouses built into the ground😍 An innovative concept to benefit from the earth's temperature regulation capability. The built in #aquaponics create a tropical climate to grow a diverse assortment of eatable plants. Melon, cucumber, pumkin, even passionfruit climbing towards the ceiling, delicious strawberrys, salad etc covering the soil.
