we are now on Stage 3 water restrictions! No fill *or* topping up of ponds or pools! So that definitely captures the #poolpond ;) I'm going to go get an adapter for my little pond pump hose so it can hook up to a regular garden hose and we'll use all the #pool water for watering the gardens over the next few weeks until the rains truly return. #Fire #PortAlberni #UnderwoodFire #Water #ClimateChange #Drought #DIY #BackyardProject
There are no “climate skeptic” politicians. Only people financially or electorally bought by the fossil fuel industry. #climateChangeEmergency #endfossilfuels
so. Funny story. Last night, I get home from DoorDashing and I started doing a bunch of stuff to prepare for the fire and put away things. I turned the water on to finish filling the filter and the pump bay. Then I was setting up the sprinkler for the house. Then I got totally sidetracked by the fire stuff. Fast-forward to this morning, and apparently we have a pool a little bit of ahead of schedule . 😂 💧 I mean, it was part of the contingency plan in case the fire came. It needed to be full so that the liner was not a fire hazard, but yeah, not what I expected when I walked out of the backdoor this morning lol So it turns out it takes about 12 hours to fill it half full. So 24 to fill it completely I assume. This changes the build schedule sort of. The rock lining of the pond is obviously not done. Nor is the bottom intake and sprinkler plumbing. Sometimes fate takes the wheel. 🤷‍♂️ 😂 Partner is excited. 🏊 #poolpond #oops #fire #diy # image

Is anyone in Canada considering the possibikity, however remote, that Trump might just hand Alaska over? no seriously. He's stupid and insane. This is the kind of thing governments have to imagine. There is also the fact that Russia State TV was talking about the inevitability of taking Alaska at some point. source: Jake Bro's latest video.

Confirmed, Meta has scraped my content for their AI. I have not given them permission to do this, at the same time, I did not explicitly prevent them from doing this. So I am sure by some stupid lawyer’s definition, they can use my content for whatever purpose they want. F that. If they want to do that, then the whole notion of “pirating video” or music, or software, or anything else that ends up in the public domain is right out the window. On the bright side, #socialbc does not appear on the list. #meta #copyright #personalproperty image
Let’s say I was considering self-hosting a Ghost blog as a replacement/upgrade for my very-long-running wordpress based blog? Are there good import tools for thousands of posts, images (cloud hosted and not) etc? (I've seen this article at Ghost, what are people's experience? ) Inquiring FediMinds want to know! :) And if you have opinions on Wordpress vs. Ghost, I’d be interested in hearing them. I don't have anything against WP per-se. Just interested in new kinds of blogging stuff. #Fediverse #Ghost #Wordpress #Migration #HowTo #selfhost
