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.

Should this footbridge be repainted to ensure a long life, or is it purely cosmetic? The Haugh bridge, Rothbury, I only noticed today!

OOpphhs!
After earlier announcing the moon-orbiting "Lunar Gateway" space station program was being "paused" to focus on missions to the moon's surface, NASA's Administrator Jared Isaacman has revealed there is corrosion in both the HALO [Habitation and Logistics Outpost] and I-HAB modules of the Gateway.

#Joy #Complexity #Richness #Rust #Paint #Corrosion #Decay #Beauty #Moss #Nature #Weathering
As we countdown the last few days of the year, please take a moment to consider how beautiful, rich and detailed the world is.
In a video game this fence might well be pristine, or maybe rust and moss would just be drawn on the surface but out in the world, each patch of green moss is fully 3D and, if only we looked, filled with tiny insect, and even tinier, microbial life.
On the other side of the park is a similar railing, but it has the remains of three or four layers of different colour paint, peeling and bubbling, and little moss, but much more lichen.
Every exposed surface in the city has some measure of similar complexity, and this is without even entering the park, or digging into the ground.
Life is wonderful, and we, you and me, being here to see it is a miracle, and as a total non-believer I use that word deliberately, if carefully.
May your 2026 be filled with childlike wonder.
