  • Yes, and:

    “Bottled water alone can expose people to nearly as many microplastic particles annually as all ingested and inhaled sources combined,” said Brandon Luu, an Internal Medicine Resident at the University of Toronto. “Switching to tap water could reduce this exposure by almost 90%, making it one of the simplest ways to cut down on microplastic intake.”

  • My favorite these days is Albanese sour bears. They are sour all the way through and the flavors are varied and excellent. Not super sour, but I find them very flavorful and consistently tart from start to finish.

  • At first I was thinking I don't have this drawer, but I suppose I have a version of it. Anything that doesn't get used weekly goes into a misc. box that I store in the pantry to keep clutter out of drawers, e.g. icing spatula, fat separator, some baking items, etc.

    My knives are upright on my counter and my scale is in my cabinet though, so that also frees up space. A few trays in your drawer might help?

  • Nyle and GE have 120V models too, or at least will have them on the market soon. I've worked on field testing them in California specifically. Transitioning to heat pump water heaters will help cut down on smog too. Good call on checking rebates, there's a ton money available and some incentive finders are out there to help.

  • Thank you for sharing the link. Here's the relevant bit from the article:

    Most gas stations don’t want to install new tanks just for E15. Instead, they’re installing blender pumps, which mix the ethanol and gasoline together in the right proportion depending on which one you want. But there’s a problem: if you pump E15 into your car, about a third of a gallon remains in the fueling hose when you’re done. If someone comes along, switches to E10, and buys a single gallon for their lawnmower, they’ll get a third of a gallon of E15 and two-thirds of a gallon of E10. That comes to about 11.7% ethanol, and that might be enough to set your lawnmower on fire.

    So the EPA produced a new rule: if you sell E15, you have to require your customers to buy at least four gallons of gas regardless of what blend they’re buying. That’s a big enough purchase that the residual fuel in the hose is too small to matter

  • How is it punishing customers? The rest of the article suggests it may improve things

    “It speeds up the process at entry and speeds up the process at the checkout,” he said. “That’s what we believe and we’re going to pilot it.”

  • All space heaters operate at the same efficiency since they convert electricity to heat via resistance. You may have a small one and low electricity rates in your area to see a negligible change. Or maybe other uses went down and masked the increase from the space heater usage.

    What are your favorite pottery books?

    I'm taking a break from work in the studio to study up and find some new inspiration. I just picked up Creative Pottery by Deb Schwartzkopf and I'm really enjoying the project ideas, illustrations, and clear instructions that I've found are lacking in other books. What books are you reading or have you enjoyed in the past to help with your ceramics work?
