    when I lived in Pennsylvania I constantly saw lottery billboards and ads claiming the PA lottery “benefits older Pennsylvanians every day”

    why the fuck this backwards ass state underfunding elder care to the point where the lottery has to subsidize it 🤦‍♀️ not the flex they think it is

    why the hell is a state run lottery advertising in the first place!? advertising any kind of gambling is predatory. people know the lottery exists. the state, of all organizations, shouldn’t be tempting people
















  • For the doorway cover I’d go with a tarp and use some stick-on Velcro strips so it can be hung up and taken down easily

    The oven will probably have to be set to its maximum temperature, and a small fan to help circulate the hot air will probably help

    You should only use the oven as the heat source if it’s electric, though. Letting that much burned gas into a small space is really bad for you and possibly some kinda fire hazard. There are portable electric sauna heaters as an alternative

    Keep in mind that if you have pantry items (rice, crackers, etc.) in the same room as all that heat and humidity, they’ll spoil faster

    Otherwise, sounds like a fun project!


  • sugar is a preservative in that a high enough concentration draws enough water out of microbial cells to kill them or prevent their growth

    that’s why honey doesn’t spoil

    whatever you’re trying to preserve with sugar, you’ll have to use a very high concentration, to the point it’ll become a syrup- or jam-like consistency. so if that’s not a dealbreaker it’s worth a try
