  • GrapheneOS is a smooth, easy upgrade from stock firmware, with little to no issue.

    There’s the occasional bug that comes up, usually associated with certain GAPPS not liking their sandboxing. Recently, RCS has gone down like twice in the last year due to tweaks on Google’s end that GOS sorted relatively quickly.

    Personally, I’m less concerned with the security, and more concerned with the privacy. It is nice to completely deprive apps of network access, and set up secondary profiles that have no background permissions to house… peskier apps.

    With permissions dialed in, my phone is smoother and the battery lasts longer than it did on stock firmware because I can more easily lock apps down.










  • I hear about London fog often. I want to say that I have tried it but I honestly can’t remember.

    Its just a cup of cozy, especially for those like me who aren’t as hip to the coffee scene. I have a milk frother so I just brew some tea, and whip up some oat milk + vanilla paste to pour into the tea.

    I actually use the drum of an old washing machine with a trashcan lid to cover the top. Its stainless steel and has hundreds of holes for airflow.

    That sounds like the perfect compost receptacle, except, how do you get the compost out of the bin when it’s done?




























  • Thus, the article’s prophecy has been fulfilled. The author will diminish and go into the West.

    Children living in households that use gas stoves for cooking are 42% more likely to have asthma, according to an analysis of observational research. While observational studies can’t prove that cooking with gas is the direct cause of asthma, data also show that the higher the nitrogen dioxide level, the more severe the asthma symptoms in children and adults.

    Cooking and baking done with gas appliances can give off high concentrations of nitrogen dioxide. A recent study published by researchers at Stanford calculated that emission of nitrogen dioxide from certain gas burners or ovens rose above the standard set for outdoors by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within a few minutes. Currently, the EPA has set no standard for safe levels indoors.

    Organizations like the Massachusetts Medical Society and the American Medical Association are trying to raise clinician and public awareness about these risks. Yet much of this information still comes as a surprise to many.

    Maybe they got their AMAs mixed up and its actually the Asian Manufacturers of Appliances trying to raise public awareness…
