@Unabart @mazigazi similar thing happened with that Heavy Metal movie. The music contracts didn't mention home video because it wasn't a thing yet.
So for decades you had to tape it off HBO because Blockbuster didn't have it.
Well this is amazing!!!
We just got our first host that wants to put up a Free Fridge!!!!
I was going to put in a post of how we have multiple leads out and various irons in the fire, but dang, this one came quick! We've been talking to various folks for the past couple of months and there have been various interest, but nothing has been set in stone yet.
So, I posted a couple weeks ago how our Free Fridge and Food Rescue group got featured in the local town paper ( https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/114949623055200806 ) . Turns out various folks read it and were interested, both in the food rescue and in the free fridge aspect.
We have one free fridge in town hosted by a local community garden, but that is completely run by them. We help keep it clean and we help stock and utilize it, but my group was created to build other free fridges throughout town.
And sure enough, a local church read the article and came to our monthly meeting. They invited us to go to their church and tour it and see what they were doing.
They're a small church that is heavy in working with the Food Bank and doing distributions. They recently received a generous donation with the request that the money be used for community service. They're going to source the refrigerator, pantry, and even build out an area to provide cover and a walkway to it.
The location is great. It's accessible via public transit (such that we have here). It's decently walkable and the city is putting in improvements in the next year. They have a good parking lot and a location that is accessible to the public 24/7.
So I've put together a little project plan:
- Go onsite and create rough site plan: Designate location. Measure out area for concrete slab, awning, and potentially walkway
- Get estimates for outside electrical outlet installation, concrete slab / walkway construction, and awning construction
- Contact appropriate municipality / county to sort out any requirements or approvals
- Complete construction
- Source and install fridge and pantry
- Open to community & advertise new location
The head of their food missions has already sourced and purchased the refrigerator. So wow. Next step will be to go back onsite and do a rough site plan. Basically measure out the spot and sort out the concrete pad dimensions.
This is the first time I've done this... so I'll be learning along the way and documenting it for other sites (hopefully) in the future.
This is amazing. Our first fridge for our group and the second for my region!!!

Just got my official letter for the fellowship to New Zealand! And I have a possible lead on a local farm sitter, but nothing is set yet.
So I'm just going to put this out onto the Fediverse again, in case someone who knows how take care of goats in Real Canadian Winter (down to -40C temps) happens to be looking for housing in Saskatchewan in Jan-Apr 2026
... Decided to revive my Tumblr purely as a source for photos, dammit
All the corporate socials annoy me in one way or another, but I'm not ready to do without them entirely. At least not yet.
So I'm compromising and accepting that I'll continue to use google and automattic stuff for now. I don't like them, but they seem slightly less evil than Meta and x.com.
@g0xmkamovz -- LMAO...
You know the middle ages are defined as the dates 1100 to 1453?
America wasn't "discovered" yet.
So I might agree that this was when America was great...
I mean hell it doesnt even make sense. This is the first election since then and the votes havent been cataloged yet. How would they even know how many of the voters in 2020 didnt vote in 2024, I wouldnt even expect that information to be available yet.
So again all signs point to completely made up numbers with no real basis in reality. More than happy to see a source and consider it but considering that your crying like a little baby at a question that amounts to "where can i check that fact" tells me all I need to know.
