Good evening.

Today I finished the first stage of an Important But Dull report AND finally realised that the photo of this leaf was the wrong way round, and that's why it wasn't looking right.

So there's that.

Everything else seems a bit grim. Running away to play a game and ignore that for the moment.

Raised as a Catholic which meant a weekly trip to church to confess my sins. Aged 7, I was walking to church & just could not think of any sins I'd done. Wondered idly what'd happen if I confessed to murder? Got there. Confessed to murder. Much consternation. Bloody brilliant.

Germany phased out nuclear energy in 2023, and now it's routine for renewables there to be so cheap that electricity goes into negative cost. Output exceeds demand significantly. That's what's possible for any modern country not hell bent on living in the dark ages of history's dead ends. China was adding 1 gigawatt per day in solar to their grid during the same time period. It takes six years to build the most basic reactor. Don't need to be a math genius to figure this one out guys.

Thesean task: no part of your original plan or instructions will remain by the time it's done.

Hermetian task: your entire job is to courier messages back and forth between other people.

Odyssean task: the vast majority of your time will be spent on sidetracks.

Pandorean task: you're going to regret doing this, but you just can't let it go.

I have a collection of stink pipe postcards on #PokemonGo, because I am a massive child at heart. Thanks @clyse.bsky.social for my latest addition 💖
