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?

Should be the default strategy always! Small price to pay for piece of mind.

There are plenty of incentives encouraging people to switch, many coming from the inflation reduction act

Wow I had no idea, thanks for sharing the source.

I saw it on there among 20+ other chocolate bars.

Maybe roommates?

It’s totally fine if you have a good seasoning on there. The soap thing is largely a myth. I wash mine with soap every time I use it and it’s still slick as ever

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

Maybe need to get induction instead of radiant? Induction is much more efficient.

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.

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let’s hope it’s not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

A bidet. You can install it yourself in 20 minutes and enjoy a lifetime of cleaner buttholes and save on tp.
