We have a string of bells attached to the back door. We never taught her to use them, but if they tap the bells with their nose, we always open the door and let her out.

She learnt within a few days how the bells work, without us actively showing her anything. It's easier than learning their body language or guessing if they need to go out if they have a way to communicate it directly.

The best looking bread I ever made, I forgot the salt. I was so disappointed as it looked amazing but tasted completely crap. Couldn't even finish it.

It's my understanding that they're not allowed to go full electric as formula E already has the license to run that with the FIA, so it'll be some variety of hybrid for the foreseeable future

I was taught maths from a guy with a really strong London accent which resulted in both words sounding the same, approximately qua-i-a-ive. Which made the lesson tricky to follow.

Noone reads the email.

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's important that one drill go clockwise and the other anticlockwise, or else it'll drill spherical holes.
