They can be retrofitted too. Here are some energy savings breakdowns from people who've done that.
If you have a few minutes on this fine Friday, you could do worse than have a browse at the wonderful drawers photos here. They're... really nice!
Ok, ok, I'm a drawers geek and only just realising it.

No. I took everything out.
I only put back in useful items. From the remainder, I threw things out and repurposed a couple of things, only keeping what was necessary.
It's the same with content. If you're in a position to decide, don't "improve content" in silos. Look at the big picture.

Another #content analogy!
Yesterday I cleared out a drawer.
Did I poke around in the drawer, taking an item out at a time, dusting it off, putting it back in?...
Did I take out a few items that felt related to each other and put them back in together?...

...but a smaller one, to lead to frequent emptying. I now see it as part of the food prep task, instead of something left to fester in the background.

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.
In related other news, if you get a blue pallet with a delivery and want to have it picked up, this is your site:
CHEP a Brambles company. Request a pallet pick up. Dropdown options for Title: Mr. Mrs. Miss
As I've mentioned previously, I'm not a fan of the title field on #forms. It asks for unnecessary information (so fails GDPR), plus loads of companies asking for a title still haven't heard of non-binary.
But the mind truly boggles why I have to provide a title for a kerbside pallet pick up... 💁🏻♀️
I'd sign!
Same here. Thought I had done it but still getting email and scary post reminders, and no idea how to tell if I have or not.
#Climate change could make nearly 20% of Colombia’s current cocoa-growing land unsuitable by 2050. But the outlook is not all negative, with higher-elevation shifts, wild #cacao and agroforestry offering #adaptation options.

A brilliant sunset with light rays beaming gloriously off in all directions from the center of the frame, silhouettes of the pines on the horizon which seem to stop the light from fanning out any further beyond its current arc. There is a bright streak across the sky where the clouds are catching the light, and a hawk or a falcon was captured in the frame seemingly following the streak like a path or a trail.
Another Phoenix sighting ☀️🐦🔥
The thing is, a lot of LLM users actually think it’s capable of God-like intelligence, and that’s clear from the ways they interact with it publicly

I note UoB now also have a Dubai campus. Can't imagine they are supporting the severely underprivileged part of the population there either.
It was difficult to track down an email address for the alumni team... sharing here in case anyone else would like to contact them that way:

Post or phone call or a funnel that send you round the houses are the other options they offer for getting in touch.
Education changed my Dad’s life opportunities, and as a result my own. He studied as a scholarship student at one point in his educational journey which made all the difference. He went on to teach, lecture, author academic books and become an arts correspondent.
