Mono pitch not monolith 🙄 🤣.

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · 2d

No. I had read that the heat pump option is much better than old school type hot water heaters. If you are talking about heat pump vs solar - we can’t do solar as we have a monolith roof which faces the south - so didn’t consider it

Yep. It took a bit of time. YK Hong has some articles on de-googling. www.liberationtoolbox.io/about/

I also found a couple of people on substack whose advice/ experience I followed. It took me a few months. Gmail took the longest. Happy to chat about how I did it.

@sarabeee.bsky.social Were we exchanging skeets last year about ditching gas and getting hot water heart pumps and induction hob?

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · 2d

Well done. I’ve been de-Amazon-ed for years. De—googled myself last year too. Quite like the feeling 🤣

Thanks. I’ll try that.

Looking for advice on hot water heat pump brand experiences. Specifically Rheem, Emerald or Rinnai. Any advice re issues and support from manufacturers if a problem greatly appreciated. I’m trying to decide which brand to install.

^ Vege garden! Must read skeet’s before hitting reply

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · 22d

Yes. Chch also gets hotter too. Although tonight it’s meant to be 5 here 😳. No wonder my beige garden is sad this summer…

Of course, the death of a ten week old baby is absolutely awful. But, a 10 week old infant is not a newborn. Do better Radio NZ

‘For households, too, power prices have soared, in part because of increased lines charges… …the proportion of households behind on their winter energy bills rose to 4.2 percent in July. More people were asking to borrow money to pay their power bills than to buy cars, houses or get credit cards.’

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 27

‘Energy-starved manufacturers, such as pulp and paper mills, have shut their doors and laid off hundreds of staff, citing the high prices for gas and electricity.’

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 27

‘when the spot price of electricity was less than $100/MWh. Since then it’s peaked at nearly $900/MWh, before hovering around the $200/MWh mark this winter.’

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 27

Excellent article. Not explicitly discussed but evident within is the failure of the electricity sector reforms which were meant to ‘open up the market’ and reduce the cost of power

Mum’s suggesting having a fire in Invers today 😳☹️

If One NZ is the old Vodafone, then yes. 11 years ago. Trouble started after I was given incorrect information about what to do as I was moving to another city. 9 months of trying to get it sorted out. Left them. Would never got back if it was the last telecoms provider in the world.

But but, they’re sooo much better managers of the economy…

I like what he has done about reducing costs of meds on the US. Shame he has a very poor understanding of the rest of the health the system there, how much it costs, and how poor their outcomes are

I’ve forgotten what Brunton’s report wanted a cap on…

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 6

So, ~ 45 years from 50% women at Auckland medical school year 1 to 50% of medical workforce but no intentional programmes to support that increase.

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 6

David’s graph shows pretty much we are there for equality ie 50% but that doesn’t take account of full time vs parttime. My view on equity here would be that if more women work part-time we should have more women in the workforce rather than have them work more hours!

Sue Crengle @tieke.bsky.social · Dec 6

1980 was the first year that there was 50% females in first year at Auckland medical school (this was in the days when you got into med school directly from secondary school)

Southland's waters warming faster than most

While the warmer waters may mean more enjoyable swimming temperatures, continued increases will be detrimental to a wide range of coastal ecosystems, including valued fisheries.
