Literally the only reason I checked it was because I was putting away all the battery lights from the extended power outage and had a couple of AAAs that were too low to put back into the re-use tray, and thought I'd see if the timer's battery was lower than either of these.

(Timers use like almost no power)

(AS WE CAN CLEARLY TELL FROM THIS EXPERIENCE HOLY SHIT)

and open and HOLY SHIT WHY

Effects of #Alkaline #Solutions on the #Structure and #Function of #Influenza A Virus

Source: Viruses, AbstractInfluenza A virus (IAV) infection contributes to high annual morbidity and mortality, thus necessitating measures aimed at protecting against the disease.

While failing laughably at #cyanotype I learned just a few weeks ago that our house #tapwater was ph9.5 that's really #alkaline.

Here's what you can expect if you drink alkaline water:

My wife developed itchiness near the special areas and so have I in slightly different areas. I think it's because we've been bathing in #hardwater all this time. Has anyone in the #pnw dealt with this that can recommend a softener or filter? I noticed that our filter gives ph7.5.

I'm no expert in batteries but: eneloop batteries are environment-friendly alternatives to traditional #alkaline ones. The current crop has ~70% charge capacity even after 10 years and can be recharged 2000+ times. The latest version of alkaline batteries also has 10-12 years storage life with no *advertised* capacity guarantee.

Eneloop batteries supply only 1.2v compared to 1.5v of alkaline #batteries. So, they may not work for all situations.
