What are your voting intentions for the forthcoming election for the parliament in England?

@raghnallborders is my answer relevant if I am not eligible to vote in the Wminster elections, by virtue of having been off-island for my entire adult life?

Green Party representation in Holyrood relies heavily on list votes from, predominantly, SNP supporters who won't look kindly on them for, as they see it, sabotaging the BHA. This means there's little likelihood of a pro-independence majority at the next election.

@simon_brooke @Alternatecelt @sfscotland @iaruffell @alanferrier I should hope the changes in the climate would ultimately benefit Scotland, but I doubt they will, given that our nasty coal, oil and gas habit (and I take the blame as an Angloid living in BC, Canada, where it’s normal to burn gas to stay warm, but weirdly, to open the taps on a hydroelectric plant to cook) is putting the kibosh on the warm winds and currents from southern Africa via the American gulf that bring the whole of Hiberno-Britannia its comparatively warm for latitude weather.

@MacNaBracha @ScottishGreens A boffin down in England claims the coalition collapsed because it is impossible for a devolved government to deliver what it wanted. Not sure what I think of this, but for your perusal: https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/26/scotlands-political-problem/

Having never had a smartphone (although, to be fully transparent, my wife does have one), I'm deriving a certain amount of amusement from the continuing rise in commentary on the health & wellbeing benefits of the 'dumb phone'.... which directly parallel my reasons for not wanting one in the first place.

Is there a exchange community or group on Mastodon?

I have some chives and green onions that are going to seeds and I will have more seeds than I need.

Of course, there is our local free seeds and plants library but I would prefer to use mastodon as my main seeds resource.

Ah, so far so good. Stihl FSA57 trimmer (battery powered) works very well.. VERY quiet. Cuts the mustard (which my corded trimmer does not). Extremely lightweight, compared to every gasoline one I've used before. It was a project to order it, though. I'll probably be ordering a second because a spare battery plus charger is almost the same cost, and that will include another head, too. 🤔

Did half of the weeds on my hillside to try it out, in almost no time. That usually is a long project for me due to hassling with line, power cord and/or gasoline. Really good build quality. This model is light duty/homeowner (but we are just using it for bee yard clearing).

compost, to random
@compost@regenerate.social avatar

I would like to address here how mulching lawnmowers are detrimental to your grass and your garden.

So many times have I heard people say, spraying the grass clippings is good for the soil.

If it was true we would have understood by now how much topsoil this method can make.

And the truth here is that it creates more troubles for your soil than it fixes problems.

Because grass clippings are full of nitrogen, when they decompose they turn into bacteria. And it is those bacteria that feed the weeds we have in our lawns.

I have seen a lot of our neighbors mow every Saturday in the same pattern and do nothing but compact the soil and give bacteria to their weeds.

Very few people collect their grass clippings to use as a proper material for a compost pile.

You can give nutrients back to your soil by creating a compost pile and spraying it on your soil. This will do a much better job than your lawnmower.

@compost so they should be bagged, and mixed evenly with chips?

    @Roadwarrior29 @fkamiah17 @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @ForfarFairLady @IndyRichard @RabBrucesSpider1 @patrickhadfield @ScepticalScot1 Wales is already being mined for fresh water for England I have heard.

    Here's a crazy idea: rather than Scots and Welsh independence, England needs to be stripped of its seats at Westminster, and English should be subject to immigration controls to visit Wales, Scotland, and Ulster. Only Welsh, Scots and Ulsterites should have a say in anything.

    The UK has failed.

    Failed to reform itself.
    Failed to remain in the EU.
    Failed to retain its reputation.
    Failed to respect international law.
    Failed to regard the poor and vulnerable.

    @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @HistoPol @djm_black I account for that with the empire, which the English imposed on both pre-partition India and on Scotland.

    Mind also that the national-level Prime Minister and wrecker-in-chief is also of British Indian Empire descent, although not Muslim (my understanding is that he is Hindu).

    @HistoPol @hesgen @djm_black There was never an article for secession in any union documents.

    Wales was incorporated into England as a titular principality fairly early on, and the Acts of Union for Scotland didn’t include an article for secession.
