Something I wanted to put out that I've been forgetting. I ran into this problem again today so I remembered.
If you're a #Costco shopper and buy their bulk packs of house-brand ( #Kirkland ) AAA or AA cells/batteries, you may want to check any devices you've got them in.
I found that some I bought a few years ago have a really bad leak failure rate - something like half the AAAs in a pack, and maybe a third of a pack of AAs - all leaked after being used in low-drain devices like remote controls after just a year or two. It's not a case of them leaking after they're discharged or when they get too old - the terminal voltage on them is just fine, and their best-before date is still years from now -- there's just a manufacturing defect.
The AAAs in particular tend to spit out a lot of electrolyte from the negative terminal end, so it gets all over the spring contact and corrodes it. If you leave it long enough, you may find the remote stops working or becomes intermittent even with new batteries in it. You need to clean off the corrosion and possibly put a layer of solder on it to get a good contact again.
The bad AAAs I have are labelled "Best Installed by March 2030" and have what looks like a lot code of "1015673" on them. They're from the era when they had a gold and blue colour scheme, at least in Canada.
Anyway: open up remotes and other long-lived things and see if they're leaking.

I've seen recipes for #ChamisaAsh (#CulinaryAsh) that involve wood chips, mountain sage, #juniper, and epazote herbs, burned to fine white ashes. I also found this from a #Navajo recipe for Corn Ice (Da’yis tiin).
"A Note on Culinary Ash
Culinary ash dates back thousands of years and has been used by Native communities throughout the Americas for millennia. It is primarily made from shrubs and trees growing near or around the Native communities that use it. The Navajo primarily use juniper ash. Chef Walter Whitewater and his family have been using juniper ash in their traditional dishes since he was a little boy.
"Juanita Tiger Kavena, author of Hopi Cookery, who has since passed, talks in her cookbook about the #Hopi using the ash from #corncobs, #CornSilk, and #CornHusks, as well as the #FourWingSaltbush (#AtriplexCanescens), which is also called #chamisa. Her son, Wilmer Kavena Jr., whom I know as Chibbon (which is Creek for 'little boy'), says that the four-wing saltbush is the preferred bush for the Hopi but that ash can be made from burning any bushes. He prefers to make ash from the four-wing saltbush since these bushes are more #alkaline and work better with the #corn. And Brandon Baugh from San Felipe Pueblo, my student from the Indigenous Concepts of Native American Food class at the Institute of American Indian Arts, researched the use of ash in his community and at San Felipe Pueblo for his final paper and presentation, and found that in his community they use juniper, four-wing saltbush, and onion ash. Other Native communities all over the United States use various materials, including the ash from certain types of #wood.
Culinary ash can be sourced from Shimà of Navajoland and Blue Corn Custom Designs, among others."

I am fortunate enough to have had the best teachers of my school era, still available when I was going to school; you know; that place where they teach you to
- be quiet
- not ask too many questions
- sit quietly and still for hours
- do as you're told
- basically program you to become a working drone
That part didn't work on me.
All others good things did work
I learned
- the languages
- the Physics
- the Chemistry 🧪
- the Mathematics
- Linear Algebra
- the Quantum Physica
- on every process I was already executing ever since I was a young bright child
6CO2+ 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is one of the most important chemical formulas / chemical reactions on Terra
If you've never had any chemistry please go and look it up {sources}.
It's important to know this formula by heart.
If you've had chemistry in school, didn't really like the subject, please also go look it up too.
When you've read the article about this reaction you will understand why I made that statement of massive importance.
Without this Natural Chemical Reaction, life, complex life 🧬 for the species of Homo Sapiens would not be possible!
There are many other reactions in chemistry which dictate what we do, which drive our Corpus, which drive our psyche. I shall not delve into those now, that is for other articles.
With all this knowledge in background, I saw this generic article on chemistry and this molecule jumped out

The carbonates are very important and very interesting chemicals which many occur in nature. In fact, the things that they can do for us are so vast and diverse, that I will just point you to a page where everything is neatly and properly explained, on a technical dedactive level.
Alkaline reactions are a few of the processes that the carbonates can do for us.
Carbonates are used to soften water
Ca2+ + CO2−3→ CaCO3 (s) {sources}
We also use it in cooking, you do that too, when we bake with dough
When you've read just a section of the article, you'll realize that you use this family of chemicals everyday ;)
Chemistry 🧪 has never been a mystery for me. I love the way many processes work chemically, it makes everything in nature so nice and beautiful.
A cohesive comprehension of Nature builds within you, when you understand the mathematics, the physics, the chemistry of processes, which in the beginning seem complex, but are quite simple when divided in the sub processes

#Maine will require battery makers to provide #recycling options
By Tina Fischer, April 9, 2026
"Gov. #JanetMills signed into law a measure that will offer more options to recycle both single-use #alkaline and #LithiumIon batteries in Maine.
"LD 474 updates the state’s current product stewardship laws to require national battery manufacturing companies to set up drop-off locations and fund a statewide take-back program so that all batteries can be safely disposed of and rare earth metals can be extracted for reuse.
"Eight other states have enacted similar laws.
"The state’s existing battery recovery program, enacted in 1991, covers only nickel-cadmium batteries. Many hardware stores, town offices and Staples stores in Maine accept some types of batteries for recycling. The nationwide Battery Network lists on its website drop-off locations in Maine.
"Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries — commonly found in power tools, cell phone chargers and #vaping devices — has led to at least 24 fires at recycling facilities in Maine. Disposal concerns have driven up insurance rates for towns, according to the #MaineDEP.
"More than 820,000 pounds of batteries are thrown away in Maine every year, according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine [#NRCM].
" 'Holding corporate battery makers accountable for cleaning up waste will lower costs for Mainers and help curb demand for mining rare earth metals,' said Vanessa Berry, sustainable Maine program manager at the nonprofit.
"It is technically illegal in Maine to dispose of rechargeable, button cell, or lead-acid batteries in the regular trash."
