Thanks! Here's a picture of some foster kittens sleeping on mine :) That's a shame that they don't sell it there anymore. It's such a solid stool.

I have that same stool! No idea where my family got it, but the cat on the right looks about as shocked as I am.

Connect allows you to create "anonymous" profiles on different instances that aren't linked to an account. You can't interact with posts, but viewing is at least possible.

I'm up to chapter 38, and the entire experience has been adorable.

This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?

It's neat to see this is real!

Are these problems unique to solar? From the article:

Young village boys have rejiggered the wires so a few phones at a time can be charged. The solar panels still generate energy, but the batteries to store the electricity and the network to distribute it no longer function.

A team of Dutch researchers reported in 2017 that in a sample of 29 solar systems in sub-Saharan Africa, only three were fully working. “The reasons cited for failure always point to the same challenges: an absence of local maintenance expertise and a lack of acceptance,” researchers said in an article published by the Conversation.

It seems like these are problems that would crop up with any form of intermittent power generation. And a broken distribution network is an issue for everything and anything to do with power at all. It seems like this could be less an issue with renewables requiring maintenance, and more an issue with renewables enabling rushed implementation of power generation.

Thanks!

Yes… Can't see it in Firefox or Jerboa.
