Self-cleaning fabric could eliminate the need for detergent

Detergents may begin their journey by cleaning our clothes, but they end up contaminating the environment, flowing into rivers, ponds, and oceans, where they severely disrupt aquatic animal life. Even after wastewater treatment, some chemicals remain and pass through filtration systems, continuing to pollute natural water bodies. A team of researchers from China explored the question: What if our clothes could be washed without detergent?

Just migrated my RPi OS from an SD Card to an old 1TB HDD that’s 4x over its SMART failure thresholds (and I still trust it more than an SD Card) #reduce #reuse #recycle

Just returning from #volunteering at our local Repair Cafe. For $REASONS, they didn't have one in January or February, so I was kind of missing it.

Good turnout, though there weren't many who booked a slot in advance - just a lot of walk-ins. Everyone got seen. I worked on the usual small appliances, had a peek at a sewing machine, and oddly enough, a shoe/boot. Now I'm a cobbler, apparently?

Helping people feels good. Saving stuff from the landfill feels good. Saving money for people who can't really afford repairs and definitely can't just buy a new $SOMETHING feels good. If you enjoy fixing things - from sewing/garment repair to bicycles to computers to anything else - maybe look for a Repair Cafe in your city. I'm sure they'd love your help.

But I haven't been in the middle of that much people noise in months - maybe years. Decompressing...

#Fish are #adapting to #hotter #temperatures in ways that are problematic for people. They are getting #smaller and #dying at higher rates as they #adapt to warming waters, researchers warn in a report released Thursday in the journal Science. This evolutionary change will #reduce #global fish #yields by one-fifth under current warming predictions, and up to 30 percent in high-emissions scenarios.
