They were from Muji. Cotton slippers. The ones made from some kind of reed are gone.
Good point. But I don't know how it'd off-gas or if it'd leak onto stuff.
I'm a fan of using 3-in-1 oil for most things. Should be good for metal tracks.
Not food safe though. Not sure what to use on kitchen drawers.
New slippers came in
They are soft.
Old ones were nice, but got worn out. Same model was no longer available.
WD-40 is a rather poor lubricant. Maybe OP is also talking about wooden drawers or somewhere food is stored? In those cases I'd not use WD-40 either.
Probably as effective as any other carbon capture and storage scam.
Why U.S. oil production could even go into reverse
Oil production in the USA may drop 🥰
And also the year of the Linux desktop!
No mention at all of having fewer kids? That alone has a huge impact.
What about two year dust?
My wrists are too old for hand grinders!
When I worked slinging coffees, we used a specific coffee machine cleaning substance. You poured in these pill shaped bits and they'd absorb excess oil as they ground through the machine.
Disassemble as best you can, brush out all the bits with a clean paintbrush, damp cloth to wipe everything. It's not factory clean but it's better.
Oxo conical burr grinder. Fairly common, works well enough.
Cleaned the coffee grinder.
I accidentally bought ground coffee instead of whole beans. So when the grinder ran out of beans, I took it apart and gave it a decent scrub. When I use it again, it should grind smoother and maybe even get the coffee tasting better.
I have the Ploopy Classic trackball and the Trackpad. Both are top notch products. 3D prints are excellent.
The firmware is open-source so I was able to flash my own layout for my own workflow. It's QMK, used in mechanical keyboards. You don't need to touch the firmware if you don't have the inclination, it works out of the box.
There's a small community of modders that have done wild things to the hardware too.
Locally grown is not always the best for the environment. Eating California rice in California is worse for CO2 than Thai rice, because California rice needs more inputs. Same with growing tomatoes in a natural-gas heated greenhouse in cold climates vs. trucked in from where they grow in the field. Transportation is a very small part of the CO2 footprint of food.
Earth's warming climate is causing problems for big coffee producers everywhere and some are looking to a rarely cultivated species that may stand up better to drought and heat.
Yes, it's used to make oilcloth but as far as I know, you'd have to leave the garment to dry somewhere with ventilation for a week or more. However I've not done it so if that isn't the case please correct me.
A cheap solution is to wax some thrift store or old trousers. Beeswax and paraffin, there are different ratios to experiment with, and premade bars you can buy. You rub some on and heat with a hair dryer or clothes iron (with parchment paper so the iron doesn't get wax on it). It'll darken the cloth. The more you put on the more waterproof and wind-resistant it'll get. For bike pants you could focus on the front of the upper thigh and coat the rest less, leaving some breathability on the back.
Meanwhile in Trudeau's socialist nightmare, where eggs are under kolkhoz supply management, I pay $5.25 USD... for 18 eggs.
That's all you can do yourself. Forget about the cultists, find those who you can get along with and help each other out. It's gonna be a long time to get through this for any non-fascist Americans.
Drought leaves Canadian farmers unpaid, reveals holes in safety net
Obvious missing element of the story: climate change.
CEO salaries for Pathways Alliance oilsands companies are huge — with total annual compensation starting at $5M. They out-earn a median Canadian in three days
Good article except the use of the propaganda term "oilsands", it should be "tar sands".
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have developed a novel nanotechnology-based solution for the removal of micro- and nanoplastics from water. Their research is published in the journal Micron.
29.10.2024 - More and more regions around the globe combine economic growth with reducing carbon emissions, researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found. Their new study highlights the vital role of national climate actions in decoupling economic growth from CO2 emissions...
...the authors caution that the current pace of decoupling is insufficient to meet the global climate target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Less than half of the regions will be able to achieve net-zero by 2050
Exclusive: Those with ‘interest in keeping world hooked on fossil fuels’ should not oversee climate talks, say report authors
Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, told a climate conference in April: “Having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It’s a gift from God.”
A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.
Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??
By practicing agroforestry — growing trees alongside crops and livestock, for example — farmers can improve soils, produce nutrient-rich foods, and build resilience to climate change. Now, a movement is emerging to bring this approach to the depleted lands of the Corn Belt.
Site C floodwaters will consume thousands of hectares of land along the Peace River in B.C. to create a reservoir almost five times the size of Victoria
Another huge hydro dam is being built in British Columbia, on Canada's west coast.
The article describes the coming destruction of farmland and wildlife habitat.
“We have to decarbonize our economy, but it can’t be on the back of flooding more river valleys.”
But as long as the economy grows, more sacrifice zones like this will be made. And if you don't like flooded river valleys, go take a look at tar sands pits or mountaintop removals.
Forestry companies get deep discounts and other perks when they harvest in areas burned by B.C. wildfires. But salvage logging also targets living trees that could play a key role in species and ecosystem recovery
Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.
Tracking G7 climate progress with data from 116,095 power plants - Carbon Brief
This article introduces the GIPT and illustrates the sorts of insights it can generate, using the example of the G7’s pledges.
Specifically about coal plants.
