It used to be mostly #energytwitter but what with several kids and a pandemic, things can get off track.

@abiylfoyp This map is so bogus it needs one of those content warnings.

@QuixoticQuant @pm_mcd I’m not buying in on the emissions analysis.

But yes, regulated utility economics in the context for energy transition = very interesting stuff.

@DrCameronMurray I’m seeing more discount signs but fewer large discounts.

I suspect this mostly tells us that supermarket price strategy people have read the room.

@misha_saul West Australian readers: “Yes, you do [eastern third of the continent]”

@abiylfoyp It didn’t succeed, but I once almost bought an apartment where half of it wasn’t on the deed. This point was deeply buried in a blurry drawing in the documentation. When I found it, they said it was really a good thing, because a lower footprint reduced body corporate fees

@TristanEdis Imagine how scared you’d be if you were a high school social sciences teacher.

I open Twitter and the first ~20 posts were people retweeting this:

A thread for those who think we're going to be importing lots of hydrogen over vast distances.

1. Shipping liquid hydrogen is not going to be a thing. To understand why, you need to understand that hydrogen is basically liquid, -253C escapey, explodey expanded polystyrene.

@rmurrayleach This one is very pretty!

I am in the market for a barista-style manual coffee machine - does anyone have any strong views or recommendations? #coffeelovers

[Lucy Carter @LucyCarte]

@dwjperry Thanks. I’ve heard dual boilers are Very Important.

@annaspargoryan Every now and then I get a hankering for a long macchiato made with a double shot of coffee made from green coffee beans, served extra-milky in a long glass with a stem.

Jk

But seriously, I will hunt down Browns iced coffee when in WA.

@alison_reeve My #1 top predictive interview question for whether I will get on with a future boss, if I can work up the guts to ask, is “what does your wife do?”

(I am yet to face a situation where my boss was not a man with a female partner)

[Lucy Carter @LucyCarte]

@alison_reeve It blows my mind how he could do this interview and not be self-consciously embarrassed about that. I’m also guessing he’a not managing his own diary, and it’s probably not a man doing it for him.

@NickAberle We have parental “year level reps” - they organise social events for parents to meet. In both our year levels, the main annual “dinner” is split by mums and dads. I am baffled that adults have chosen to do this.

I agree with actual informal stuff - be mates with who you like!

[Lucy Carter @LucyCarte]

Parents, help me: I’ve recently been invited to several kids’ school events that are split into an “event for the mums” an “event for the dads”. Is this a normal thing? A Melbourne thing? The price to be paid for living SOR? Am I the only one who finds it weird?

@abiylfoyp 1. Inadequate mentoring (including bias in who gets mentored)
2. Selection processes that rely on signalling
3. Crowding into a narrow set of professions deemed worthy but not well aligned with aptitude/ interest
4. Being good at lots of things and never committing to anything

Husband is interstate for work this week, and this bear is my spirit animal.

@abiylfoyp @SueMarquezR One of you to needs to go vegetarian. Preferably Sue, because then she won’t want to share.
