My update isn't exciting but it is important. I need people to know this stuff or I'll be fielding questions on it for the next 6 months as everyone individually discovers the changes.

I'm not going to spend time rewriting my update to sound thrilling and engaging in order to attract the eyes of the lowest common denominators attention span.

So we have a meeting, everyone listens, and if they say afterwards that they weren't told or weren't paying attention, there's a recording of the zoom call so they can try again.

It's work, if it were fun and enjoyable 100% of the time we wouldn't be paid to be there.

I'm surprised we're not doing more green hydrogen as an energy battery system to balance out the grid.

It seems like that would work quite well, with the only energy loss being the pressurising to liquid hydrogen, but even then you can recover some of that by recovering the heat when it expands again.

Bad idea for cars, but giant canisters sat around near wind farms seems like it would be fine.

It ruins things for everyone in your local area though. Fatburgs aren't localised to your landlords house.

Good idea. I may try it myself during allergy season.

It was one of the reasons I left academia. I doubled my pay within two years.

Cost of living is significantly lower, and the social safety net means you don't need as much anyway.

My gut feel is wages are so much higher in the US because everyone is responsible for looking after themselves if life turns on them, so you're obliged to stockpile wealth in case you're suddenly jobless or have a giant medical or education bill to contend with.

Does it work?

I found succession easier to watch from the second season onwards. Something about season 1 made me very uncomfortable, I'm not sure if it's the program that changed after that, or maybe I got used to the style of it.

Guessing it could be venomous sounds pretty reasonable. Being locked in an enclosed space with an unknown Australian snake? No thanks.
