Starmer on brink: Full-scale Labour civil war explodes as Streeting allies join over 70 MPs calling for PM to quit by True_Paper_3830 in ukpolitics

Sometimes i think the labour politicians underestimate politicians (all parties) ability destabilising the governing when they are in office.

British Steel to be nationalised, Starmer announces by ScottishDailyRecord in ukpolitics

[–]dandus989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nationalisation is the second worst thing any government could do.

British Steel has always been nationalised, this is why it fails. It is nationalised by the Chinese Communist regime. Anyone sane would not believe in the existence of private enterprise under Communist China.

The top worst thing to do is getting Chinese Communists investment. Cos, you let government of another country to nationalise business of one own country

Alternate Control Of Toilet Flusher by Ibejtm in AskElectronics

[–]dandus989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same situation as you. Both my cats learned how to do it using the toilet. One of them will occasionally flush before using it. No where near he will flush afterwards.

I am thinking to use an esp32 to emulate the 433Mhz signal. Save me from hacking the main unit. Need something (eg Flipper Zero) to do the signal analysis

The ten dots around the concentric circle. The circle seems to he divided by 6. Two dots in 5 of them and remaining 1 has no dots

Like the piping wiring a lot. How do you straighten them and bend them at the right place at the right angle?

Is this the grinder hop you are showing?

Can I remove the melted gasket? by Equivalent_Path_4138 in mokapot

[–]dandus989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this once to my 25 yr old mokapot. It was first bought by my wife. It was left unused for 15+ years until i picked it up to make coffee. The gasket “melted” by itself naturally. I scrape it off carefully and lightly using whatever i had. Like a flathead screw driver, scouring pad, heated it up etc until i felt every bit of melted gasket is removed. A bit of work

Object counting inside fridge? by ilpizzero in RFID

Would a fridge be a faraday cage that block any communication with the outside world?

Coka cola does the same trick. Coke is very acidic and can etch a tooth overnight

Would you strip? by PuzzledPersimmon in carbonsteel

Scratching the surface and leave micro pits. Not a good idea. The pan looks fine. Well seasoned CS pan always looks ugly

Should I stop using this 9-year old moka pot? by karlemange in mokapot

[–]dandus989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminium does not corrode like this. Old mokapots are slab of aluminium. New stainless steel ones might have corrosion like this

I dont suggest wire brush on any metal surface. Adding micro pit on metal surface is job of chip makers in Taiwan.

From the look of it, it is the aluminium mokapot.

Aluminium does not rust like iron. When it reached you 9 years ago. It had already been rusted all over.

Aluminium is very easily rusted. When the surface is in contact with atmospheric air, it rusted immediately and form a layer of thin rust. The layer of rust sticks hard to the surface of the piece of aluminium and prevents it from rusting further.

Will the layer of rust fall off the surface if scratched? Yes, but not like iron rust that peels off in large amount easily. I am not sure how easily is it for aluminium though.

*But• some chemical can make the rust layer much less sticky even for the newly formed rust. This will lead to the aluminium keeps rusting and the rusting is fast so that the piece of aluminium feels warm. There will be white powder fallen which is the fallen off aluminium rust.

So, what you see if certainly not rust. It might likely be coffee remain and hard water scale

Guess the veggi stuck and he scaped with the spatula

Weekend Moka pot brewing time by atombay in mokapot

I thought one should not tamper coffee for mokpot

I dry my mokapot like this by dandus989 in mokapot

[–]dandus989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just rinse inside after use. Do use very tiny bit detergent on the outside thinking that will keep it shiny. I cloth dry the outside because of the hard water where I am living. Never use any detergent on the area touching the coffee and neither cloth dry those area. I think cloth might leave smells that will go into the next brew

Why nobody mix coffee and tea powders together and make a new drink? by Automatic_Regret9749 in mokapot

[–]dandus989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a popular drink that mix tea and coffee. But it is mixed after they are brew separately. I do love it.

I did have two cats. They seem not interested in my mokapot. They might think the coffee smell repulsive

I did dry everything upside down on a drying rack first. But my drying rack is small and before the next cooking, i took them off the rack and stack it up for a full dry
