NZ does well though: fruits, dairy, meat, vegetables and legumes Says a bit about Nature reviewers if the paper misses out a country that would have impact on the key points in the…

If you were breast-fed, you drank raw milk as a child. And pasteurization removes/diminishes nutrients in milk. It’s much more nuanced than ‘raw milk is bad’.

As someone producing food, it’s pretty much a given that something in nature will seek to consume what you are producing. I was waiting for it, and in this case, wild boar.

I love the poem at the end

"In current models, the water spray is kept at a precise 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit" - so actually 38 Celsius because that's the temperature scale that Japan (and almost everywhere e…

The most marked comparison I’ve seen is between the B-25’s in Catch 22 and the aircraft in Masters of the Air. The real B-25s struggle and climb into the air on takeoff and it’s ev…

The term ‘climate change’ didn’t exist 45 years ago (except perhaps in a few technical circles). You’re using current knowledge/terminology/perspective to comment on things that we…

I love it, but surely just a temp gauge for running a hot compost is nice & simple? If mine is over 45C, I'm fairly sure that means the thermophiles are present and doing their thi…

I'm working on a solar forecast for my off-grid PV installation. It's a small install of 1kWp (2 bifacial panels) with a 4kWh battery. I chew through about 25% of my battery each d…

The all-in-one 3kW inverter/controller that he uses is for 110V AC output (using the 48V battery). In the article he linked to, the system uses an EG4 3000EHV-48 that also outputs …

Ability to communicate trumps actual competency every time in a typical career. People who are senior to you got there because they have a superior ability to communicate, not beca…

I just wish that Teams would load in a reasonable time on Firefox. It's a corporate enforced need and it takes minutes to load the web Teams version in Firefox. Microsoft seem not …

One of the challenges of being a piano player - youtube search for a new piece you're interested in and there will be a video of a 4-5 year old playing it on a baby grand somewhere…

Absolutely. When I do front-end work, I screenshot every visual change in the PR. Boss wants a look at the current work -> screenshot Users want to see a difference -> screenshot. …

In the appendix links at the bottom, there's a comment that a large percentage of houses in Japan are still built with post & beam. I've been prompted with a slew of recent "Japane…

Yep. I have a corporatised Win 10 install so shame about that.

Been doing this for ages with GitLab

Interviewed at a company recently, who were very keen to take on a senior dev, as they had a lot of 'juniors'. Their interview process boiled down to 'we want you to take hackerran…
