Dollar store ramen noodle instructions: "I have no idea what packets you're taking about. Who has packets?" #ramennoodles #badinstructions #dollarstore

#Cheap #DIY #Dollarstore #Drybox - First Attempt - less than 15 Euros.

Key components: sealed plastic container, silica gel beads, optional hygrometer.

Placed on a radiator, I get a reading of ~30°C and <20% humidity what should be sufficient for overnight drying of headphones or other devices that were exposed to humid environments.

Caution: Extended exposure to conditions stated above can damage certain materials, such as rubber and plastics, causing them to dry out and become brittle.

I finally got around to listening to this episode of Strong Towns podcast from last June about dollar store chains as an invasive species, and of how big-box stores act like slash-and-burn agriculture in communities, and it has given me my daily dose of anger. Stacey Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is the guest, and brings a lot of data and perspective.

Dollar stores were the fastest-growing food retailers by household expenditure share between 2008 to 2020 in the United States according to new research from Tufts University. While they still represent a small fraction of national household food purchases, they play an increasingly prominent role for disadvantaged and rural communities. Public health experts are concerned about the impact these increases could have on regions that already experience higher baseline levels of obesity and food insecurity.
