Uranium 🟩

I’ve run into this problem also with both a 2.4Ghz mouse and a 2.4Ghz mouse and keyboard combo, never really quite realised that it was to do with the hub, but had clocked that an extension lead corrects it for some reason!

Thank for pointing this out as it means I actually know to put the dongles on extension leads, I always thought it was something to do with a weird grounding issue on a cheap hub or something

Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;

Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.

If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water

I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.

Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.

I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent

Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?

I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.

And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?

You’d be able to, but you would need to either insulate the interior with PIR, or clad the exterior with PIR insulation.

Admittedly my property is a 1960’s brick build with wall cavities, but we’re build on the side of a hill with soil retaining walls so we aren’t the most efficient property, though overboarding the walls has made a big difference. There is a lot of improvements people could do even remaining on a gas boiler.

IMHO, exterior cladding and insulation seems to be the best option for actually making the properties warmer with minimal disruption to living in them, alongside upgrading fibreglass insulation in the loft spaces.

We have gotten a heat pump installed and it’s doing a good job so far, and that’s without a lot of the main upgrades to the insulation don’t, unfortunately the installers have been a pain in the ass.

Well, I’m in the process of internally overboarding with 50mm PIR sheets for added insulation, added 200mm fibreglass into each floor of my house, and 150mm PIR on top of my flat roofs.

And have just had a heat pump installed, frustratingly, still haven’t quite worked out how to properly drive the thing yet so am rather cold currently.

Ok, I feel like this is a relevant enough post to say; this comic gives the vibe of a Serial Experiments Lain x Adventure Time blend, and I adore that.

I think the Adventure Time aspect is most obvious with the post apocalyptic setting, set in a barren wasteland with the rotting surviving remnants of the past society. The art style is reminiscent with it’s beautiful use of vibrant, monotone colours. Not to mention animal guides/side kicks.

Meanwhile the Serial Experiments Lain aspect is a bit harder to describe, but mostly lays with the Techno-surrealist, abstract, paranoid and overall confusing but intriguing nature of the work, not to mention the non-linear storytelling

They all share an odd dreamlike quality
