Making green tech, not just more efficient, but outright better then the tech it is replacing is a great way to speed the green energy transition. Case in point GE's new washer + heat pump dryer combo. It can delay start of wash so your load finishes drying just as you wake up. It's a game changer.

My local paper had a headline today claiming that gas cars are now cheaper to fuel than EVs. The price they claim it costs to charge a Bolt is over 5x what I actually pay at home so I decided to search the group who claimed it. Turns out they published this same lie 3 years ago!

My local paper just ran a front page story titled "Why December has been unseasonably warm" which failed to mention climate change at all. Instead it noted "Unless you're a skier or maybe even a snowmobile enthusiast, you're thinking this is great." SMDH. #climatedenial

Looks like image uploading is broken. Just tried to do it again here and it lets me select an image, then takes time to upload it, but displays nothing. This is on Android and I've tried restarting the app. Scrolling only shows images from URLs. @cbouzy is this broken on a wide scale or just me?

My kids took out our Dropmix game today, but the iPad had "helpfully" offloaded its app because we hadn't used it in a while. Reloading was impossible because Epic delisted the app last year. Luckily I still had an old phone with it, but it's bricked for most owners. It was released 6 years ago!

It's darkly comical how poorly insulated most US homes are. Just toured a home where the upstairs closets had huge amounts of bare sheathing wood exposed. The wood had holes exposing the bare backs of siding and shingles with daylight and air flowing through. This home is listed for over $400,000!!!

Been thinking about upgrading the front mechanical disc brake on my cargo bike to hydraulic for a while now. Figured it'd be expensive. Nope. $40 bought the lever, tube, caliper and pads (same pads are $20 on their own). My DIY install could be cleaner, but the brake feel is soooo much better.

Had my first time getting my Christmas tree by bike this year. I'd been apprehensive because I'd never done it before, but it was soooo easy. Christmas trees are a lot lighter than you think and the kid handlebars secure it easily. Only issue was all the dropped needles, but that's no big deal.

Any time a Republican says a word about voter fraud, they must be reminded of Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr and how NC Republicans helped him and his co-conspirators avoid any meaningful punishment for the biggest proven U.S. vote fraud of this century.

Profit Greenly @ProfitGreenlyDon't count on it. Leslie McCrae Dowless cheated for years. NC Repubs waffled on if he should be punished and helped delay his prison time till he died. Others in his scheme are being let off with no prison time because they were "doing it out of some affiliation or feeling loyalty to him" BS!06:39 AM - Nov 26, 2023

Some extraordinary new science shows how Republican policies are killing Americans. How much longer will it be before our media and the political class begin talking about this crisis?

Thankful that ~2,400 of the 18.5k people who voted R in my county's election deliberately chose to not also vote for the far right election denying Librizzi. I disagree with Dershem on a lot, but at least he can accept basic facts, like the vote counts of the 2020 election.

Just wrote a spout thread then accidentally pulled down on the top of the screen. That caused Spoutible to close my thread and refresh my timeline. Can't find a way to recover it. Did it save a draft of my thread? Can I get it back, or do I just have to rewrite it? #spoutible #techsupport

In response to Tristan Snell.
It was terrorist only in the sense that bad drivers regularly terrorize Americans, both those in and out of cars. Drivers like this man kill more people per month than died in the Twin Towers and seriously injure far more. We have the tech to stop people like this, but not yet the political will.

One thing I love about Spoutible, and a key reason I trust it more than say Mastodon, is the frenetic pace of new features. True, there's still more work to be done, but lots of work is going on and lots of cool stuff is being shipped. Excited to see how this new tab will help with discovery!

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzy💡The new viral tab will show you the most liked spouts over the past 24 hours, but it will also help you discover new people. However, we will add another tab soon with spouts that fit your interests.08:19 AM - Nov 14, 2023

Since I joined Spoutible I've been trying to populate a following list with interesting people. Today I was excited to hear about lists and hopeful that they'd make finding follows easier. Expressing that hope has given me more vitriol today than I've ever experience here. Some thoughts on why.

I would like to preface this by stating that because Aaron @beec4240 and Kace @FruitFacedFruitKace have been so generous in sharing some deeply personal and tough stories it gave me the courage to write this.

Setting: Breakfast at IHOP in central PA
Characters: Two 60 something white guys, seems like at least one once served as a marine.
"The one thing I know is you can't trust Republicans. They said Roe was settled, then as soon as they got enough power they banned abortion."
The boomers are alright.

My 5 year old just taught me about NIMBYism. A hinge on our toilet seat broke so I bought a new one. She saw its box and began a 30+ minute long screaming session.
"PROMISE ME YOU'LL NEVER REPLACE THIS SEAT!"
"But it's broken"
"NO OTHER SEAT CAN EVER BE AS GOOD!!!"
Change can be hard to accept.

Someone asked me how many miles an EV battery would last. This Bolt owner's original battery got replaced at 250k miles due to the fire warranty recall. They've put 50k miles onto the new battery. Amazingly they haven't even rubbed off half their brake pads in 300k miles!

This house sold for $985,000 9 years ago. It just went for $25k because a large portion of its yard was swept into the sea. Buyers understand that the home may be next. Climate change sped up this erosion and this is just a small taste of the economic damage it has in store for us.

Thinking about Spoutible more I realized it's more like OG Facebook than Twitter. You're mostly posting for a small set of friends, not the whole platform. Maybe lean into this and allow users to do following only spouts? If Twitter is still the goal then Spoutible must find a way to enable virality

Tried using Google Bard to get a summary of differences between zoning districts in my town. It claimed that it only takes 5,000 sqft to build a home in R-2 and 10,000 sqft to build a duplex. I know the actual numbers are both double these. Guess I'll just have to read everything myself. #aiproblems

Sad news that Senator Feinstein has passed. Amazing that she lived to 90 and still over 1/3 of her life was spent as a senator. I guess now we'll all get to find out if the fears of those who warned of Senate gridlock should she step down will come true.

Pop quiz road users. If you're at a stop sign waiting to turn left onto a major road and someone else is across the street going straight should you yield to them, or should they yield to you?
