We found snow :)
Fuente De, Picos de Europa. We took a cable cart to see the top of the mountains. What amazing views! Looked like a volcanic mountain with ice tops :). We also hit our motorhome again :(.But overall our experience in Picos de Europa was fantastic!

Gaza's grim death toll after two months of so-called 'ceasefire'
Since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, nearly 400 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, where the majority of the population continues to live in dire conditions, writes historian Jean-Pierre Filiu in his column.Jean-Pierre Filiu (Le Monde)

I use less than 5L of water to shower in our motorhome and I take a very decent shower. It is all about knowing how to use that water. Likely a shower at home would use over 10 times that. Here is the water consumption in EU on average:

The average human in Spain consumes in a day as much as we two consume in a week in our motorhome.

@Tio
Oh so you always wash it off after wiping, that makes sense. Anyway good that you feel at home with this lifestyle.....
Wait, do people not turn off their shower when soaping? Why do you need a sensor for this lol 😂 It reminds me of those ads ran by a toothpaste company on world water day showing someone who doesn't turn off his tap when brushing his teeth, it was like a PSA to get people to close their taps when not using water. I never did those things so it sounded a bit crazy to me that someone just wouldn't close their tap like that.....
4-5L of water to flush down your pee is insane man. It reminds me of a little trick I saw on YouTube one day, where you fill a 1L bottle with water and put it in your toilet's flush tank, so that way you'll be saving 1L of water on every flush. This is also why I think you shouldn't use drinkable water in your toilet or bathrooms if possible.... If you can pump ground water from a well or something that could be used instead of using treated drinkable water.
Yah as far as I know people do not turn off the shower or tap while washing or brushing. For shower I also didn't do it....so yah....
And for flushing the toilet I think the best would be to use the sink water to do that. Like store the sink water into the toilet tank basically...
I am sure there are solutions for these if there is an incentive for it.

@negschaumburg1 Hi!
We would love to do that but we didn't start working on the adaptation of mobile app for TVs yet.
Quite an interesting doco to see how culture can be cancerous for silly reasons. Stuff to learn from it.

In the early days of the internet sometimes I let my naughty curiosity have some fun and I remember searching for rare animal encounters like a lion and a tiger, or whatever....was curious how these 2 predators react.
Do that now and you get loads of channels like this youtube.com/@Buzzbible/videos
Fake AI shit...and they are getting better and better. And they get so many thousands of views, if not millions. And they even make money out of it.
Yah, how can I not want to give up the internet game?! It is getting shittier and shittier.
The incentive is the issue, not the technology. When you have millions of humans who are poor, but also taught that making money and consuming is important, then they do their best to make money.
No regulation or law will work.
The solution? Maybe get people out of poverty, give everyone their basic needs at least so we dont have hungry hyenas everywhere trying to hunt everyone. This is a discussion that is lacking among those who complain about the state of the internet...

I’ve been meaning to write this blog for well over a year, and finally managed to get it done:

It's about my whole journey of writing and publishing my book (all the sweat and tears it took + how much I earned in the end), as well as a few other updates about what I've been doing over the past few years and where we'll likely head next.
Thanks to everyone who's been there for me throughout this journey! I appreciate you all 💛

I don't feel pressured to read it, no worries 😄 In my experience once I start reading it then I can get really into it and get through many pages, but I am not a fast reader tho so I will take my time with it - which is why I'm taking these breaks when I feel like I have other things to work on, mostly because I want to avoid eye strain.
And yeah I will let you know if I spot any typos for sure, it becomes easy to miss tho when you get really into the book and start enjoying it 😄

Tio makes an apple pie in the motorhome (super easy) - videos.trom.tf/w/bPTrNPzGkXgF2…
You only need 5 eggs, 4 apples, a bit of sugar, flour and oil. And you can make a super tasty apple pie. You can use any other fruit so go wild with it! 😃
This is to showcase how with very little ingredients and in such a small space, you can still bake some great sweets 😃

Your social data stays on your device. You own it, it's private, you decide what happens with it. This unlocks powerful local tools that shared servers can't offer. Since ActivityPub does not lock you into one format, we take full advantage. Same account, but the interface can change in a tap. Text feed, photo grid, video player. One identity, your rules. That's our goal, and we're getting closer every day.

It is a "self-hosted" shard of Fediverse, isn't it? Like in, you are discoverable/contactable etc but it's not "I upload this data to a Masto instance", it's more like a "I keep my data on my device and the posts I create are saved on my device, Masto instance gets copies when my device goes online". Kinda like cloud storage where sync uploads data you have on your PC to elsewhere but this local data remains the "single source of truth".

Sotres, Asturias: videos.trom.tf/w/7wo6HXbkj86AT…
Sotres is the highest village in the Picos de Europa National Park. A bit tricky to get here on the narrow winding road, but well worth the trip! Sotres is so beautiful that in 2024 it got an award from the princess of Asturias 😄 It's also famous for its blue cheese and is the starting point of some spectacular hiking trails in Picos de Europa.

Can you believe this is not Switzerland? We went for a day to this beautiful place just to see how it is. Sasha also found an abandoned villagge and some cute cows. Picos de Europa is now on fire, and it is such a shame because it is a wonderful natural place.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I squirmed at the news coverage of the horrific attack at Bondi. Our news vendors have never used comparable language when referring to the killings and murders on the West Bank by Israeli settlers when in fact the images would be similar (if only reporters were there to film the massacres.)
News organisations have bought the propaganda argument that the Arabs/Muslims are the bad guys in this.
