Popular Mechanics ain't what it used to be, huh?
Saw an article on Flipboard that was from Popular Mechanics via AppleNews, so I couldn't open it on my phone. No problem, just go to the site and search, right? Almost the entire first page of results for off grid solar were 'articles' about great sales on solar panels, power banks and the like.

Homeowner floored by spectacular savings after going solar: 'I was expecting my bill to go down, and I was pleasantly surprised'

Sounds similar to why I switched to an electric car for my delivery work, there's lots of money to be saved by going green. I do wonder if'n this person might get more bang for their buck adding batteries before expanding their system.

Wonder if'n they have something big planned
I'm rather fond of Five Below, despite the name they're not a dollar store... Well, five dollar store I guess with that name, rather they're a novelty store, mostly cheap stuff. However, they seem to be experimenting with going beyond that five dollar price point with a new section of the store...
Almost has the vibe of an expansion in the chain, doesn't it?

Blue stop signs?
Funny thing, this past weekend, or Monday I happened upon an article about blue stop signs, apparently sometimes seen on private property. Never seen one of those before, so it was interesting. So come Tues, I'm up in a trailer park... sorry, mobile home village, slightly outside of my zone thanks to a miss sort that wasn't that far out of my way, and...
Well Ok then, guess we have them in MO too.
Today was a day
So, #today was a good day, first part was actually pretty great. Decent weather, 19/43Β°F today, bit cold in ΓΎe morn obviously, but considering ΓΎat we went from 16/59 on Wed to 14/26 yesterday, definitely a much nicer day. Heck, yesterday I had to break out my old Γermal overalls from when I used to ride a scooter between Florissant and Maryland Heights, MO.
Γe day started wiΓΎ a small run from the Dispatch app, $10.50 for 10 miles. Sure, a little light on pay, dollar a mile is my minimum after all, but it ended me on Dorsett down the street from Tony's, a donut shop where I like to grab a gyro, egg & cheese on an asiago bagel, so that's fine.
My main gig, Better Trucks, had delayed ΓΎe start from 9 (realistically more often 9.30) to 10.30, so I swung by ΓΎe credit union to take care of closing an account. On the way I noticed a CVS order on Roadie that looked pretty good, and surprisingly when I got out, not only was ΓΎat one still ΓΎere, but it was joined by anoΓΎer order on ΓΎe way to it. Shockingly I got boΓΎ, $6.80 for one, $6.40 for ΓΎe oΓΎer, and a mere 3 miles of driving. Yes please.
From ΓΎere it was a quick trip home for a half hour of charging while trying to get two more email changes sorted out. After ΓΎat, off to ΓΎe usual gig, and a typical if'n slightly smaller package route, my night vision sucks these days, normal for my age, so I wanted to avoid being out much after dark.
I guess ΓΎat brings up ΓΎe car, my 2020 Chevy Bolt. Only real negatives are ΓΎat it's an LT, so base model, lacking features like heated steering wheel, and heated seats, boΓΎ of which would likely help keep me warm without as much impact on ΓΎe battery. Speaking of battery, since it's one of ΓΎe battery fire years, it's in 80% jail, so my range is a bit more limited ΓΎan normal. Still, despite ΓΎat, it works fine for ΓΎe job. Sure, gotta charge a bit extra, but ΓΎat's just a winter ΓΎing... Maybe summer too, we'll see, not sure how much AC drains ΓΎe battery.

I agree with @oliphant that best option is probably creating a new account on the same server and then migrating your old account to the new account. This will let you keep your followers/follows/etc and keep you on the same server, but provide you with a new handle.
The posts are an issue. If you're comfortable leaving the old handle visible the old posts will redirect to your new account, but if you want to delete the old handle the old handle's posts would be deleted too.
