Sinopec built the world’s first commercial scale solar power to hydrogen plant last month. I thought we were decades away from this with a bunch of oil companies exploiting policies with “blue” hydrogen, but the legit green hydrogen economy is going to be a thing in my lifetime and that’s amazing.
My wedding in 11 days. Even though I’m somewhat stressed because I’ll have to travel for it and there are some moving parts, I’m excited. Wife is taking it pretty well and she is excited as well!
Something will go wrong, but it won’t matter. Focus on the important things
The last 10 days leading up to my wedding were my most stressful but come wedding day it was gone all I cared about was being married to my favorite person. You’ve got this and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congrats in advance brother/sister! I literally just got back from mine and it went perfectly!
Make sure to make a conscious choice to stop every once in a while and take the moments in, otherwise you might not remember anything because things are happening so fast on the day
When I got married I made the decision to avoid going around to all the guests and make sure they were happy/entertained etc. At the reception I basically stayed near the main table and just enjoyed the night. If people wanted to come and chat then they could.
Remembering that it was mine and my wife’s day took a real load off and helped with a lot of the pressure of the event.
Thank you for this. Exactly what I’m planning on doing. I’ll just dance the night away basically.
Lemmy to become mature enough to be a full replacement for Reddit
Not really, if you browse the big communities it has enough users but for more niche communities its not neatly nearly enough to be a replacement for reddit
I dunno… why can’t Lemmy just be its own thing tho? I might’ve been using Reddit wrong or something but Lemmy feels so much better from the start for me.

At least if there is an interesting topic or a question I don’t have to scroll thru the same jokes or worse — joke trains, yeah sure, the beans happened, maybe I am getting too old to fully connect with the joke, whatever, but at least it is kinda self-contained, my wild guess would be if beans happened on Reddit, all the comments would be BEANS! for a month everywhere…

From a time perspective — I am really appreciating some amazing posts on Reddit with great histories and comments that I was reading for hours, some great AMAs or even the funny content if it was fresh.
With all this said, overall Reddit was mostly a really specific shit hole for me, yes, shit hole where occasional diamonds occurred but still. I can’t wrap my head around how imaginary internet points can distort even the most basic interactions.
I’m excited. I really missed Apollo. So this is filling the void bit by bit. :D I just signed up 10 minutes ago. It’s awesome so far!
Thanks. :3 Hey, would you happen to know how to change the avatar on the profile? I looked everywhere in the app. I only see feed UI settings, etc…
I’m going to try to keep the SpaceBaby’s name out of this, but I am genuinely excited for the step change the next generation of lift vehicles will bring to space exploration.
I’ve become thoroughly depressed with how we are mishandling our own planet, and I know there are huge risks in believing that finding new places to fuck up will solve anything (also, it’s a pipe dream - terraforming isn’t something we could really hope to achieve and anything outside our solar system is just too far away) … but, dammit, my 12-year old self dreamed of spaceships refuelling in orbit, resupplying permanent missions on other planets/moons, and now it might actually happen.
