The ARM based machines are just next level. The 3 year old M2 Air I'm writing this on still feels stupid fast for what I need.

It's absolutely awesome. I've also done some work using Home Assistant to calculate CO2eq emissions from my grid imports so I can calculate my per kWh emissions. In the last 12 months I'm at about 57gCO2eq/kWh which is pretty good. (In SA, so grid is pretty clean, but still 1/3 grid).

It's kind of wild to think that Labor are the new conservatives - they're desperately trying to ensure nothing really changes. No changes to digging up fossil fuels, no change to helping the poor, no change to condemning evil. All about the status quo.

Also makes the towns more resilient to other risks. There are places where they'll shutdown transmission during days of very high fire risk (usually middle of summer) so regional towns where this happens would still be able to operate.

In a world where Labor's national policy is that cutting down native forrests is okay (thanks Forestry Union) I don't hold out a lot of hope things will change or even that gas extraction will pay a reasonable amount to the taxpayer.

Hear me out - what about splashing some baileys (or similar) in with the Caramellos? This doesn't have to be for kids.
