Non-paywall version here.
"Shortly after a federal appeals court ruling threatened to hamstring Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, New York state has passed a budget barring gas appliances in new buildings.
New York, which was America’s sixth-largest state consumer of natural gas in 2020, became the first state to enact such a ban when the state’s 2023-24 budget was passed [on May 2, 2023].
“Changing the ways we make and use energy to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels will help ensure a healthier environment for us and our children,” New York House Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said in a news release.
Los Angeles is among more than 70 California cities and counties that have banned or discouraged natural gas hookups in new buildings. The City Council voted in May to do so, citing climate change. However, no state had passed such a ban until now.
The requirements for electric construction will be phased in starting in 2025, and include some exemptions: “Hospitals, critical infrastructure and commercial food establishments” will be left out, according to Heastie’s statement, as will “buildings where the local grid is not capable of handling the load.” ...
The ban is part of an overall strategy “to reduce our state’s carbon emissions and move us away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources,” Assemblymember and Energy Committee Chair Didi Barrett said...
Gov. Kathy Hochul... released a statement touting the budget and its “$5.5 billion investment to promote energy affordability, reduce emissions, and invest in clean air and water, building on more than $30 billion committed to climate action. ”
The budget, according to Hochul’s website, includes “nation-leading building decarbonization proposals that will prohibit fossil fuel equipment and building systems in new construction, phase out the sale and installation of fossil fuel space and water heating equipment in existing buildings, and establish building benchmarking and energy grades.”"

I feel like I've been stripped of a part of me as a human fundamentally by not having a fireplace. I should be allowed to stare at fire for 3 hours a day. It's a crime that I can't. THIS IS WHY I STARE AT SCREENS. IT GLOWS AND MOVES. GIVE ME MY FUCKING FIRE BACK I NEED IT
#vent in tags#this was meant to be joking/satirical but i almost cried typing this#i dont know hwo satirical this actually is#i think i do actually crave fire deep down#i want to sit by a fire and stare into it#i want to be there at 3am contemplating life#i really do#i just realised that fire is part of my idea of “peace”. and i crave nothing more but peace in life.#i genuinely wish i could sit by a fireplace and just stare. listen to it pop. watch the fuel slowly burn away. watch the flames dance.#i genuinely feel a deep sense of butterness that i cant experience that. and i doubt i ever will. no hotel has a fireplace in the room. this#apartment my family lives in can never house a fireplace. and same with my friends. i will never get to experience fire the way i want to.#it will never be as cozy as i wish it to be; because there will be no fire in my home that resembles one like a fireplace's. one that is#wide; wider than the stove we have.#i feel emptier after typing this out.

I had to look up "causes for carbon monoxide inside home" online because I kept being reminded that CO detectors are common in america for personal home use but I could genuinely not think of a single reason why carbon monoxide could form inside someone's living space unless they had a fireplace on at all times and terrible ventilation, but then I remember how non-electric stoves are so common in america and everyone has cars in a garage that is directly connected to the house or whatever and it made sense
#i think i've seen exactly one (1) gas stove in my entire life btw and it was in an old camp site and the stove was ancient#they're just not a thing here#isn't that fucking terrifying?? just. gas leaking out and you're setting it on fire#and they are still being produced! what is the benefit of a gas stove versus an electric stove??? does it consume less energy??#i guess it's less expensive and heats up faster#but. do you really need it to heat up that fast. i think even induction stoves are just a bit too much even if they're convenient as hell#and... you need to buy like. fuel for it. separately. what if you run out of fuel in your stove. doesn't it cost more long-term#are power shortages so common that it's a genuine benefit?? i have a simple electric stove and cheap camping cooking gear if the power goes#and the power has never gone out. granted i do live in an apartment. but still#someone please explain#and don't even get me started on the carpeted floors that require sooo much maintenance to keep clean and a bunch of expensive products

Enjoy playing firewatch irl!
The smoke almost took me out a couple times (<- is allergic to pine). Also I have discovered a new hatred for camp stoves
#my own is awesome#but summer camps have this unique ability to destroy all equipment it touches#so the ones I had to use at camp for both the fire and in July and ALL THE FUCKING RAIN in august were#well#on leaked on me and in another universe I didn’t notice and burned my hands#cause here’s the thing about compact little camping stoves#you have to put your hand in the stove w all the fuel to light it and pull away so fucking fast so you don’t burn your hand#and the longer you hesitate the more fuel comes out and the bigger the fire#if fuel is on your hands during this process??#well I’m not testing it#mac asks#my stove is awesome though she’s the size of a headlamp#best birthday gift ever lol

sad about waypoint hours :(
#in honor of waypoint i will live every day like it's deduesday#austin reading that tweet made me laugh so hard i dropped a full cup of sprite on the kitchen floor#the movie watch-alongs had me in hysterics. and also just I loved the podcast i loved reading the articles it just sucks.#I have never laughed harder at a stream than the time they ran out of fuel during a race on motorsport manager#and savepoint... truly a swift kick of hope during some dark fucking times#i was kinda late to the waypoint party i think i started getting into it in 2019ish#and I'm not a discord or forums person so I won't be part of that community going forward and. I'm gonna miss it.#anyway catch me at seven in the morning in the chat for kotc tomorrow. i am making this post so that I don't bring the mood down over there#that's not even mentioning THE pride & prejudice analysis of all time from be good and rewatch it—#god and the whole thing where rob broke his stove. feels like just yesterday he was comparing himself to jesus on stream.#there's nothing i can say that hasn't been said better by smarter people but. i will miss waypoint. shoutouts for making me get into#disco elysium and also processing my feelings on fallout four and literally all the work everyone involved did.#gonna have a little cry and then wake up and watch the stream. gamers we just gotta keep on trucking.

My toxic trait is that no matter how many times I burn food, I will not learn "More Fire More Faster Food" does not turn out well

In a post apocalyptic scenario where my hormonal iud inevitably stops working and I have to deal with my period again, diva cups really are the best option. I still carry a collapsible one in my bag and honestly that would be in my apocalypse bug out bag, thank god someone gave Ellie a diva cup
#tlou#my bugout bag is the same as my bush camping bag#and it’s a tent a sleeping bag my bow (collapsible) a combo hatched and shovel a bunch of iodine a filter straw a camp stove and fuel#couple knives in there too and some flint and dryer lint for fires#and like a couple lighters#when I was in hs and suffering from The Brain Bads I’d go into the woods with just my bow#and a knife and some water#and I’d make a shelter and just hang out in the forest for a while#survivalism is my yoga and meditation I find it so calming and fulfilling to just yeet out of reality for a couple days#make a shelter out of pine boughs and make a little fire#in an irl zombie apocalypse tho I’d just immediately grab a boat and go to an island#growing up on a boat I know how to sail and boats are the best way to escape… anything#if the zombies can swim then I’ll have to reconsider the island but a small wooded isle#sail back to mainland to hunt for food and scavenge#Maine is the perfect place to survive in#the island I lived on as a kid even has wicked old forts and shit#for winter

humiliating to ask the guy at the liquor store if they have everclear 190 and even more humiliating when the answer is 'no, and also, it's not legal to sell in michigan at all'
#I HADN'T THOUGHT IT WAS BUT THE WEBSITE SAID YOU HAD IT IN STOCK AUGH...#wretched. feels so extremely shady kfjhkfdjgh like okay well now I Have To awkwardly explain myself to this guy#long story short I wanted to take some camping as a bit of a multi-use item but DRINKING is NOT. ONE OF THOSE USES#pulls double duty for wet collection of insects AND alcohol camp stove fuel-- AND can clean/ disinfect#AND is nontoxic (well. it's still ethanol gfdjhfdk but compared to denatured spirits otherwise used for all those things)#it's not a big deal idk if I'll even end up doing wet collection OR using an alcohol burner I just liked the idea of it#I'd have also probably used it in place of a lot of my current cleaning and/or arts n crafts uses for rubbing alcohol around the house#meekly asking the liquor store guy for potable lighter fluid when I wish I could have been trying to get it at a hardware store instead#about me

I'm always happy to see you on my dash so I hope you have a safe time and take care till September when we hear from you again!!
Aw shucks thank you anon :]
#perhaps I shall do a little off brand story time if anything insane happens to me this year#something insane alway seems to happen to me#Mac asks#maybe the fire ban will force me to use the old broken ass camp stoves that sit on top of a tall narrow propane bottle#you have to hold the pot constantly cause it'll tip over#better still#every bottle is so banged up that the bottoms are all round and extra tippy#to turn the stove on#you open the valve and the gas just fuckin..... comes out yknow#but we all use the little hand lighters so not only do you only have about a second to light the gas because the longer you wait the more#it builds up. which means you get a massive fucking flame and risk searing your eyebrows off I swear#but having a small lighter instead of the bbq ones means you have to stick your hand into the gas.... to light the gas.... and then pull#your hand OUT before the gas catches fire#I love camp#this fire ban is going to kick my ass though. those stoves are scary as hell#and I so rarely use them too because even when it rains I will light a fire dammit#one final fact is that these stoves are cheap so they don't have variable fuel output. so you can't have just a little gas to start#which would help to prevent the whole.... gas buildup ticking time bomb thing#instead it just comes out at max speed.#did I mention the camp stoves terrify me?#anyways wish me luck! ;)#(and they were never heard from again)
