Shana is 16 years old, she’s very sweet and needs a lot of attention and love

Meow traveller! My tummy has been empty lately and I require the finest crunchy snacks of the land. Come back with trout or salmon flavored Dreamies and I shall reward you handsomely! Nya~~

That’s exactly where his name comes from :)

Right he’s looking like an old wise Chinese kung fu master ^^

He’s been adopted by my best friends who also have a an older bengal female. I will visit them in a couple of weeks, can’t wait!

Instagram no longer allowed to be installed on my phone, how is that for a deal, Meta?

I watched a video (Invidious) yesterday detailing the type of coins they used before 1971 in the UK and its empire, and it was actually insane.

1 Pound = 20 Shillings = 240 Pennies, with coins for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6 pennies, 1, 2, 2.5, 5 Shillings and banknotes for the Pounds, and each of these coins had 5 or more different names

How the eff do you gain 400 lbs?! That’s roughly 180kg!

the customary unit for body weight is, however, the stone https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1+stone+(unit)

Thank you 🥰 I’ll do anything for her that’s for sure! The photo was taken yesterday, on her 16th birthday

Monkat!

Yeah we call her our little suricate! She got an ear infection a few years ago and after the surgery her ear structure collapsed. She however still hears well and I help her every week with the cleaning (her favorite moment)

yeah, Germany loves its rules! But there’s also a strong Christian tradition, and if it taught me anything, is that it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission ^^

At least it’s not a big volume and with the electric ventilation in the door frame, the air should recycle quickly. We will have a couple of CPU fans (or similar), with an airflow of up to 120 m³ per hour, it shouldn’t be too hard to refresh the complete volume of the building. But I’ll get a CO2 monitor, I wanted to get one for checking the air quality when we use our fireplace in winter too.

Good call, will do! A building permit wasn’t required as it its volume is below 40 cubic meters. You only need a building permit if it’s bigger, or if you install running water / heating / a toilet (basically if it’s “livable”)

❤️ We can all make Lemmy even cooler!

I was thinking of a piston door with calibrated skulk sensors… 😬

We’re gonna install a Ubiquity RFID reader at the door for access control, integrated in HomeKit, so we can enter with our phone/watch

Could get 3D printed ones that look like Minecraft torches!

Right now, we just have to fill the 30cm wide gap at the back and navigate between our neighbor’s plants, we’ll be done this week, it’s not really worth getting a small excavator just for that job.

The plan is to completely fill the slope up to the entrance, and dress it with granite boulders. We will then need a much bigger excavator to move that around, at least 4 to 6 tons. We found a guy who can come on his free time with his own excavator, definitely getting work done with him for the bigger earthworks.

Our main inspiration comes from a German garden designer, Peter Berg, who has beautiful projects https://gartenlandschaft.com/gartengestaltung/#hanggarten
