Is it a thing in the US to get incredibly cheap electricity overnight too?
In the UK this is the secret sauce for EV charging. My usual kWh rate is 30p, but between 11.30pm and 5.30am it’s 7p. Makes my car cost less than 2p/mile in electricity to drive, most of the time.

FDA clarifies results of recent AC meeting on oral phenylephrine
FDA held a Non-prescription Drug Advisory Committee meeting Sept. 11-12, 2023
Hey @mrmmarsh.bsky.social , interesting listening to your article on cold remedies, although multiple mentions of phenylephrine reminded me of the recent FDA decision that it's not actually efficacious at all based on the evidence. www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-s...

The company officially changes name today, to Optimum Path Financial Planning.
We've been helping people plan for their financial futures for the last 47 years, and the new name hopefully sets us up for the next 47!

In some ways it's reassuring that Bluesky has spambots now. Makes it feel like a real social network.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Thinking of making a New Year’s resolution? You’re in good company. Lots of people use fresh start dates like new year’s to motivate goal pursuit. If Jan 1 gives you a sense that your past failures are history and makes you think big picture about your goals, you may benefit from leaning into it! 🧵

YouTube video by CISI CPD
CISI TV: FPC24: A story in four parts - From flunking, to acing, to winning, to judging the CFP
In September I talked about failure to a group of financial planners at the CISI annual conference. Specifically failing the #CFP case study (and then acing it, phew!)
A redemption story in 4-ish parts. Relevant for anybody taking, or thinking of taking the CFP.

Join me for a seminar about my "serendipinotes" productivity method. Scribble notes frantically. Immediately forget them. Hopefully just the process of writing them will lodge them in your brain. Failing that, you might stumble on the notes 6 months later. 50% of the time, it works every time.

Always ask the question. Every story I’ve ever seen of someone curing their cancer using “alternative” therapies has a “also we did the normal stuff” subplot right beneath the surface.

I enjoyed @annieduke.com's Thinking in Bets so much that it inspired me to re-read Superforecasting and listen to a poker memoir!

Can somebody please find me a "starter packs starter pack"?
I like the idea, but I think there's a lot of self-bubble-construction happening here.

Just a reminder for newskies that we make the algorithm here so it's helpful to post, like and repost as you pass through. You won't get notifications when someone shares your share so you do have to get used to doing it without that dopamine hit. It's just for the sheer community goodness of it! 😊
