I think at this point if they go low, you're going to need to sweep the fucking leg. Looking in from the outside you're not far away from all out authoritarian hellhole.

Oh yes I'd expect some of what's on that list would get you on a list if you tried buying it. Some of the ones that affect polycarbonate look to be paint thinners or the sort of thing found in oil based enamel paint.
Absolute pain in the star to remove enamel paint. Edit: not even gonna change that auto text 🀣

So apparently riot shields are made of polycarbonate. For educational purposes here is an interesting chemical compatibility list

And also keep it in a sealed container like a glass jar. That way bugs don't find a way IN through the crack in the packaging. I have to do both freezer and container with my flour otherwise I get bonus weevil protein in my cakes. The joys of living in warm humid climates! Edit: a word

Interesting! Thank you. The potentially clogged outlets comment have me the heebygeebies. Rapid gas production in a sealed container is effectively a grenade.

What is the significance of using expired canisters?

No need for nuclear war. Looks like Captain Trips is being brewed in the US bird/cattle/human populations at the moment. M-O-O-N spells pandemic.

I think a US government run by greedy Nazi billionaires, anti-science nutjobs and fronted by a wildly demented septagenarian narcissist is a bigger threat to public health...but what do I know I'm just a potato.

Yeah I thought letting it sit might be awkward. I make the paste pretty thick and it generally stays in place without slumping on vertical surfaces. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I know I'm late to the party but for getting labels off jars and bottles I make a paste of baking soda and vegetable oil. Spread it over the label, let it sit for a while, wipe off the paste (save it to reuse), then peel off the label and just use soapy water to wash off the remaining oily adhesive mix. I usually leave it sitting for hours because ADHD so I'm not sure what the shortest sit time is. Because the baking soda is a gentle abrasive and carrier for the oil you can use it to scrub the adhesive off too.

Oof! Didn't expect an old semi-joke to cause so much angst. It's really just a comment on how often articles talking about how X, Y or Z will impact "The Economy" is mostly about how much money already absurdly wealthy people will gain or lose. Hence replace "The Economy" with "Rich People's Yacht Money" in the headlines to get an arguably more accurate headline. Also I don't think anyone give a shit about upvotes on Lemmy, could be wrong though. As for Florida, I'm not in the US so not super familiar with the climate in various parts of each state but snowfall in Florida seems pretty crazy since I thought Florida is pretty tropical/subtropical. If I have offended you please accept my apology as it was definitely not my intention to offend anyone and especially anyone who is experiencing a natural disaster. I've been through a few cyclones and a bushfire. It's not even slightly fun.
