We don't want to see you suffering. We see the 2:00 am e-mails and Canvas uploads come in. (I did all that, too.)

Come talk to us. Office hours are a thing. You don't need a reason. Those casual chats can help a complex idea take root, or give you the energy to keep going - AND they can help us learn which bits of our teaching aren't landing well.

Nobody is alone in university, and nobody gets through alone. I think one of the hardest things to do, especially for people who are used to performing well and just bearing up under pressure, is to get out of their heads and start connecting. There are so many helpers and resources, both institutional and student-run. And guess what - they need to show that they are being useful, to stay afloat!

(And teachers: candy and stickers are gold, for bringing students to office hours and getting them to speak up in tutorial.

Also, please consider taking a Mental Health First Aid course. Like regular First Aid training, it's not about becoming a medic, but about recognizing signs of trouble and being able to keep someone going until they can reach the help they need.)

Sand batteries are a significant advancement in clean energy technology.

Holy shit, this is incredible.

“This new facility can hold 100 MWh for about a month in summer and a week in winter.  That’s enough for the town of 5000 local residents.

TechCrunch estimates the Finnish battery’s costs are under $25 per kilowatt-hour, compared to around $115 for leading lithium-ion batteries.90% efficiency.It doesn’t use any “rare earths” or critical materials.  Instead using locally sourced, recyclable materials.Units are scalable and modular to fit different needs and uses.

Suits small towns (like the current facility) and large scale industrial uses.

13 meters tall and 15 meters wide. Independent of geography.  

No supply issues due to any geo-political problems.

Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, socially, financially.

Life is asking a lot right now.

Pause when you can. Breathe when you remember.

I want to organize my life and get rid of all the things that irritate me, but also not buy anything for a while.

So maybe it's a combination of the How Long Does It Actually Take girl, too?

Mending clothes, especially in the inner thigh, is so low stakes because no one can see it anyway. I have a few pairs of underwear with badly attached elastic to do next.

I might also have fixed the little vacuum my SIL gave us for Christmas (it never seemed to charge) so if that happened, it will help me clean my car.
