I prefer the parchment paper approach as well. I use a baking sheet with no edges so that when I pull them out of the oven, I can just slide them onto the cooling rack, parchment paper and all.

I think you are missing the point of my post.

I've conditioned myself to quickly consume and index information because my profession requires it. There's only so many whitepapers and service manuals that you can read before you need to find a better way. It's become second nature to me. The only way to me to disconnect that behavior is to put physical media in my…

I've found that if it is my goal to retain information, I need to read it from physical media. No e-reader, no cell phone, no monitor. I've been trained to skim and devour huge amounts of material on the screen.

This all sounds like great marketing, but are they actually different than cherry MX switches? Cherry MX switches have plenty of different spring/slider combinations offering different actuation characteristics...

If baking soda worked that way, you would be correct. That water vapor wouldn't be caustic, as the distillation process would remove the baking soda from the water. If you boiled the crock pot dry, you'd be left with all the baking soda left at the bottom.

Zombies aren't really a threat in DayZ, nor is survival. The only threat in the game is other players.

The real problem with the game is that there isn't anything to do other than kill other players. Zombies are trivial, survival is trivial. The only threat is other players. If players weren't killing each other it would just be a walking simulator.

I don't doubt the author achieved results. It is likely that something else he did solved the problem. A bit of ventilation is the best solution to a musty smell. Adding more moisture to a musty basement is not a solution.

I notice that I did misread the article. My argument remains. A crock pot full of baking soda and water is just going to release water vapor into the room and will do nothing to deodorize it.

Baking soda as a substance does not absorb odor. It is good at neutralizing some odors because it is a base and a great many odors are acidic. This only functions when Baking soda comes in contact with the acid it is neutralizing. (Like sprinkling baking soda in a cat box)

Baking soda as a deoderizer has been debunked... I commented on a similar article yesterday.

I have 3 pairs of jeans. One that I wear, another that I wear when the first pair is too dirty to wear, and a backup pair for when my my jeans wear out.

I seem to recall that the whole "Baking Soda in the Fridge" trick has been debunked...

I foolishly squandered my free time writing this lengthy post.

I've always found this to be the simplest solution. Cut lemon in half, cut side down, squeeze. No seeds, minimal pulp (squeeze into a tea strainer if it's a big deal). Compared to other techniques, the yield is about the same.

I like to cook bacon in the oven. It's a great way to cook 2+ pounds of bacon at once with little effort. It also cooks the bacon in a very uniform way with little opportunity for error.

I disagree with this rule. I think that 1/5 would be a more reasonable number.

That is bad advice. There are a great many scenarios when it is better for you, your ex, and your children to get a divorce.

The Trilby (what some people today are calling a fedora) has become an unfashionable hat due to association.
