Also the rooms are gonna be $300/night which is insane by my standards but I guess makes sense for a luxury hotel.
That is absolutely amazing. And I think they said they’ve been using it for 10 years already!!! That is just the coolest thing ever. Can’t wait to finish the whole video. I love Kirsten Dirksen.
Oh yeah, that’s a bit too intense for me. I’m just trying to get the word out wherever I can lol.
Not sure exactly what the lemmy.world thing means, but yes this was me and my partner! Quebec was great!
I definitely preferred Montreal to New Orleans. Felt far more European (like having a decent Metro).
lol, it’s more a statement about us (and I’d guess the average US resident) than about them.
This would be so lovely for some far northern/southern latitudes that need all the sun they can get to stay warm. With double or triple paned glass to insulate.
Imagine upping the size, running the vacuums on renewables and automating it though. You could distribute farm fresh veggies to the doorstep of everyone in an entire city. I think that’d be solarpunk as hell.
I’m a pretty visible positive example I’d say. My objective is to provide reminders to reframe carnism as socially stigmatized. I think this mostly works because a lot of my friends are vegan, but there are a few “bros” who rationalize why they don’t need to change.
It sounds a lot like you want us to be silent so you don’t have to think about it.
Most people intellectually understand that torturing and killing animals is wrong and they don’t want to do it. But they can put it into the back of their minds unless the vegans in their life remind them of what they look like to us.
And personally, I firmly believe that getting those little reminders from my friends added up over years for me until I realized it was worth it to make the change.
Ah, I see that now on the site. I was also using jerboa which doesn’t seem to have that option yet. But I’ll use the site for crossposting then when needed. Thanks!
Ah, ok that makes sense. I’ll try that.
The challenge that isn’t covered here is that the grandeur of Singapore is far far easier to achieve with authoritarian centralization than the anarchic style of solarpunk. And people are compelled by the grandeur of a large expensive project in different ways than the DIY scale.
So how can a ragtag group in SF or Berlin make something that captures imagination just as well as Singapore?
Hopefully using this for transcontinent flight will be the one use. Since we should be able to build electric high speed rail everywhere that we travel over land.
