Allergic to Friendface. Hoping fellow allergy holders & #Twatters decamp here (I was here in 2018! see: @kudra 😅)
Let's decouple our ideas of innate human value from jobs, mmk?

@TinyBreak @Seagoon_ try Temu? I have been surprised to find replacements for some things I didn't expect, and I now look there first for all sorts of stuff.

@wscholermann @SituationCake battery technology is improving constantly. I have a 10yo ev, bought secondhand and got the battery upgraded, the new battery is double the range than the old one was when new, and the old battery was still very serviceable and can be used for an off grid home battery system, but new batteries if the size of the old one are getting so cheap now it's probably cheaper to connect a new battery to an off grid pv system.

@SituationCake @wscholermann I'm a single parent who lives rurally but comes into Melbourne roughly every second week for work. While I usually charge at home I'm minding a friend's house this month and they have street parking only. I'm heading up to Kyneton today. No dramas, my EV only has 30kwh battery but there are these things called fast chargers, they are a bit like petrol stations, you have to wait slightly longer, but 8 only have to use them when travelling long distances. While in the city I'll largely charge at work. At home I largely charged from solar, especially in summer. Having a family is no barrier and I don't have a second car. It's these kinds of myths about EVs that keep people from considering them in the first place. I pay less overall and the extra cost of the battery is paid off within 5 years of fuel at its current cost: who knows where petrol cost might be in 2 years let alone 5.

@Baku yeah it is a bit weird and disjointed but I just like the fact that I *can* do it, even if it is sub-optimal.

@ajsadauskas @wscholermann @Seagoon_ I think it's a combination of different things, pollen, dust, weather, pollution: all of which may be somewhat more localised?

@wscholermann @Seagoon_ my sinuses cleared up when I stopped living in Melbourne most of the time - I still visit very regularly, but I live rurally and the difference has been dramatic. Not tropical, far from it - but I'm originally from Perth, and I developed a few different health issues when I moved to Melbourne. I think it's unfortunately got pretty poor air quality generally compared to many other places in Australia.

@Baku comments/replies just come through like regular posts in my feed, so yeah it's a bit janky but I like not having to look at different places, and if stuff comes up that I can comment on, it's quite easy to do =) I love social network interoperability, even if it is imperfect!

@danwritesbooks @CEOofmyhouse56 my tip is: clothes dryer lint! Save it and you guarantee a fast start.

@Seagoon_ much sympathy, I'm c6-c7 and now it looks like c4-c5, as MRI 4 months ago when the c6-c7 herniated showed a c4-c5 which became symptomatic just as the c6-7 settled down. It's scary to contemplate that this might continue regularly the rest of my life, it's fucking agonising. Still haven't worked out ideal pain meds. Opiods do nothing.
