Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon

The Trump administration canceled a deal, signed under President Joe Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon.

Hydroelectric is the only renewal that works day and night without battery backup.

The proposed solar-energy alternative was highly speculative and would have required miles of transmission lines. And batteries, that routinely burst into flame.

Does it make sense to destroy an existing asset in order to preserve *one local* species when thousands of species face extinction from global warming?

I despair that even so-called progressives want to dismiss global warming.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started


Inspired by a post by fellow #mastoadmin @TobiasFrech to share how much storage space a Mastodon instance might use. This is #vmstio data after running since October 2022.

Database: 233GB
Search Index: 9GB
Media: 2TB

Then there is stuff like backups and logs which get shipped around, compressed, etc but is around 120GB on average. (We only backup media from local users.)

If you think WOW THAT IS A LOT OF DATA! I BET THE COSTS IS A LOT? then the answer is YES IT DOES -- If you're a member, check out docs.vmst.io/funding to find out how you can help cover the cost.

This portulaca plant is unlike the others I have had. It keeps growing flowers of different colors instead of staying consistent. I like the variety!

Two turtle species on one log: the small ones are Midland Painted, the two big ones with a yellow throat are Blanding's Turtles, listed as endangered species in Canada.

The US was already deporting criminals who entered illegally, prioritizing those who committed the worst crimes. Had for years. Trump’s pitch was always to be harsh to noncriminal migrants, or treat “criminal” and “immigrant” as synonyms, including legal ones and naturalized or second gen citizens.

Donald Trump called Israel's attack on Iran "excellent" and warned there is "more to come" as Israel lobby groups and U.S. lawmakers threatened further bombings and escalation in the region.

Couple of people have asked about growing potatoes in general and in pots. I'm not an expert, so I always point out that many suppliers have reference articles on potatoes.

So here are my chitted potatoes ready for planting. You'll see the supplier name on the tag, but probably there are dozens of suppliers. I'm growing Yukon Gold and Red Norland #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds #potato

Continuing with the potato in a bag saga.....here we see the plants well above the edge of the cloth bag. They probably should have been hilled sooner, but....life gets in the way sometimes. #gardening #potatoes
