1 year ago@roblarky I made my own TV sound bar with exciters. The challenge was getting the smart TV to give up audio signal to my “unauthorized device”, more than any difficulty making the sound bar produce audio.

@PotentiallyAnApricot yes, where one part disappears inside another, dab a little along the part that “disappears” - the grease will get spread out over time.
@PotentiallyAnApricot well if you already have some “wet” grease, I would not go look for graphite. They will work together, but since there is already some wet grease there, a little more is just as good as adding something else, imho.
@PotentiallyAnApricot depending on where you live, drawer slides are probably not going to be the first thing to go. But they’ll be nicer with some lube. A nice option is graphite powder because it is dry - so dust and dirt won’t stick. You can get it at many hardware stores. It is a little messy to apply, black dust. But once it is applied it will last a long time
1·1 year ago@setsneedtofeed this is not news! This is ?? You are destroying your “brand” - who wants to subscribe to this?
@DocMcStuffin fwiw, this is NOT news, why is it in the NEWS feed on the fediverse?
@ghostalmedia why is NEWS boosting this sort of content? It is a comment (no doubt profoundly wise) out of context and is just clogging up fediverse feeds.
@Knickknack I volunteer with openaircollective.cc - focused on carbon dioxide removal, speaking of emerging sectors. It is all volunteer, and a good way to follow the burgeoning climate change mitigation realm. I’m using a lot of what I learned over the years in business to develop a wiki there: https://openairforum.org Come by some time!
@Knickknack @realChem I graduated in chemical engineering back in '83 and found myself in wastewater treatment consulting. I gradually transitioned to industrial wastewater and then hazardous waste remediation. It was a good gig! Retired in 2001, so it has probably all changed quite a bit. Good luck to you!
@realChem I retired from being a chemical engineer in the environmental remediation of hazardous wastes and petroleum. Went sailboat cruising, and stopped along the way to teach high school chemistry four years. Now I volunteer with OpenAir Collective working on CO2 removal (from atmosphere, not point sources - later is called “capture” instead of “removal” for some reason). Without chemicals, nothing would exist!
@sensibilidades @realChem MOFs are hot
@whaleross granular activated carbon for fish-tank filters is relatively less expensive - though you might be able to make your own charcoal with a fire-pit and have as effective material. Your stove hood filter probably has some kind of metal-framed and non-serviceable assembly - which could maybe be disassembled and “refilled”. My vent hood filter appears to be a black piece of felt - questionable whether it actually contains carbon or not, tbh. I’d probably eventually replace it with metallic mesh in a multi-layered arrangement and not worry about carbon at all. The main role is to trap grease, not odors.
