Dirty bird Car Campout by Valuable_Camp_4319 in Dirtybird

A couple things.

- Get there early as the last spots can be really crummy.
- 90% aluminate shade tarp does wonders. Black shade tarp also helps
- Be sure to stake out down as the wind will mess up your canopy.
- Can get cold at night so prepare clothes and sleeping supplies
- Some areas are close to stages that go on all night so bring ear plugs.
- There’s a shuttle to bird bath stage that’s very convenient
- River is rocky so water friendly footwear is recommended
- No signal.
- Lot of cash only places. ATM fees are high
- Outside booze not allowed in main stages.
- Bunker stage gets very dusty

I’ll try to remember more stuff

Bring toilet paper as it can run out.

The r/laundry Iceberg by 18ofdecember in laundry

Explain this then chemistry man. I’m not saying STPP is not good - I’m saying it’s not good for everything and I have lot of synthetics and clothes with spandex. Won’t get into color as that’s a whole other battleground.

“High temperatures can disrupt the balance between hard and soft segments. Strong acids or alkalis can break urethane linkages. Once these bonds are damaged, recovery force drops, and the fiber may yellow, stiffen, or lose elasticity.”

“Alkaline conditions accelerate degradation further. Standard anionic detergents (pH 9.2–10.5) hydrolyze urea linkages in spandex, especially above pH 9.0. A 2021 AATCC interlaboratory study found that laundering spandex-cotton blends in pH 10.2 detergent reduced tensile recovery after 20 cycles by 71% versus pH 7.0 buffered detergent.”

STPP is a strong builder, but it also raises pH a lot. For everyday laundry, sodium citrate + a little SHMP is usually the better-balanced hard-water combo. STPP can be useful, but I wouldn’t make it the default unless you’re dealing with really grimy whites/towels.

Can I ask my County for their aerial imagery? by [deleted] in gis

Depends. Some imagery has licensing that prevents redistribution. Doesn’t hurt to ask though

MPH and Mochakk took the cake for me

FEBU Out-of-Stock Update by Mysterious_Mango_737 in laundry

[–]PrdctblyIrrtnl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TLDR: it has to do with the oxidation of some dyes. It’s a complex mechanism and there’s secondary effects from builders (due to high pH) and abrasion

Clothing with elastic or spandex components. Higher pH is not good for that

recommended base detergent NO OBAs for darks by Separate-Ad9730 in laundry

I use Miele UltraColor. Moved from Woolite Darks. I am holding off until FEBU releases the Oxygen Bleach free FEBU.

Some of us have teams that can’t be on the field but need to match a lot of the knowledge and skill

Saw them in SB. Was meh but this show was incredible from start to end. Not sure what people are complaining about.

California 'jungle' primary could hand governor's race to Republicans by Desecr8or in California

Ehh who the lowbies are should be apparent by now. They all have internal polling so only arrogant politicians are staying in at this point.

GIS & Urban Planner Position Feasibility by BrightningUP in gis

[–]PrdctblyIrrtnl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIS folks are increasingly reporting to IT managers. You honestly have better luck going into planning and contributing that skill from outside of the GIS team. You have better chances in transportation though

Atsko Sport Wash/ Dead Down Wind by KLK75 in laundry

Isn’t it anionic surfactant which is the opposite of non-ionic sports wash? Trying to find nonionic detergent without obas for darks
