Christmas-tree effect confirmed: Real-time logs show average +12 dB reverberation in Norwegian living rooms once the tree goes up (dry needles + hard surfaces). Combined with excited voices it creates one of the most challenging domestic environments of the year.

@ml @academicchatter @plantscience Date *everything*, and get into the habit of using an internationally unambiguous date format (eg 2024-08-07, or 7 Aug 2024 or Aug 7 2024, but never 7/8/2024).

If you’re forced to use Excel, ensure that dates are entered in a way that Excel cannot interpret the column as a date (eg force the column format to character, or type the date as the number 20240807). This avoids date data being occasionally scrambled and corrupted.
