I got sucked into running the numbers on that "delete emails to save water" thing. Best estimates I can find are that live datacentre storage in the UK has a median water usage of ~80ml/GB/year. So a terabyte of cloud storage consumes 80 litres a year.

Network losses from leaks are on the order of 10-15,000 litres per person per year.

Glad we can see the culprit is definitely old forwarded cat photos.

(Bit of a repeat here, sorry!)

Anyone working for a UK charity:

can you spare 5 minutes to reflect on your learning and development?

👉 Trustees can contribute too 👈

It’s for my other half’s final MA project.

In 1973, a brilliant critic named Stuart Hall created a diagram that changed the way we study media, and could help you survive this moment. Just dropped: the second letter in my series about how to analyze the media in a time of crisis. It's all about codes. https://buttondown.com/thehypothesis/archive/the-man-who-discovered-media-codes-and-how-to/ #media #stuarthall #mediastudies #discourse

Rukmini Iyer's Green Roasting Tin's gimmick is straightforward - all the recipes involve sticking everything into one pot and then into the oven. The most complicated involved opening the oven a bit later and stirring.

The recipes are simple, imaginative, and delicious. We use it a lot.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's been on something of journey over the years. You might recall one of his earlier books had a picture of a him hungrily eyeing a piglet he had tucked under his arm. Well, this book has a picture of him with a big ole cabbage leaf.

Some terrific recipes, lots of ideas and suggestions beyond recipes and into cooking more widely, working with what's available (in shops, or your garden, should you have one). Really good, really helpful.

Amanda Grant's The Joy Of Vegan Cooking is, despite its slightly hokey title, one of the few vegan cookbooks I'd absolutely recommend. It has a cheerful tone, presents straightforward recipes that use fresh ingredients to make good food. It was my everyday cookbook for an extended period, and the battered and stained state of my copy attest to its "higher then normal number of recipes that you will actually cook" quotient.

In our second “season” of Beware of the Leopard we wrote our own entries for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy.

For the 2020 Christmas episode I wrote this about the New Year & Forgiveness (starts 33:40). Thanks as ever to @editorialgirl for reading it ❤️

Legit my favourite thing I’ve written and that show was the most fun I ever had making podcasts (and our Christmas eps were very special)
