  1. In this latest thrilling saga of "Rust #vs #C," we're treated to a riveting tale of #industrial #microcontrollers that's about as exciting as watching #paint dry 🎨. The article somehow stretches a simple choice into a 2604-word #debate that feels longer than a tax code 📜. Spoiler alert: you won't find any groundbreaking revelations here, just another exercise in overcomplicating the obvious 🙄.

  2. The heated cubby under the chimney next to the tile heater is perfect for finish drying firewood.

    Helps a bit with keeping the air inside from getting too dry as well.

  3. Drying the mint that grew alongside the potatoes.

    That awesome leaf/spice drying rack? A underwear drying contraption from Lidl someone gave us because they didn't know what to do with it. Very useful!

  4. Fruchtleder mit #Mangos: Leckerer wird's heute nicht.

    Wer #Fruchtleder noch nicht kennt: Früchte pürieren und auf einer (wassserdichten!) Unterlage im #Dörrgerät zu einer dünnen, lederartigen Masse trocknen lassen. Fertig.

    Das war die Kurzform, die Details findet ihr im Artikel.

    Aber Achtung: Das Zeug ist unfassbar lecker & ihr werdet das weg-suchten. Sagt nachher nicht, ich hätte nicht gewarnt.

  5. @kevinrns I already grow most my own veggies for the winter in garden boxes. Have to spend some time time removing the sprouts off the potatoes lately, soon have to sort them out for continued eating & planting. Growing veggies is easy (I generally mostly ignore mine) can be done depending on your space(s), ingenuity & capability. #canning #freezing #drying

  6. 🚨 OH NO, WE'VE DISCOVERED AMERICA'S GREATEST ENERGY VILLAIN: THE 🧺 #CLOTHES DRYER! Quick everyone, hang those clothes outside and watch as Big Laundry's profits tumble. If only our forefathers knew about #air #drying, we could've saved the planet centuries ago! 🌎💸

  7. Trees might profit from the reduced foliage area, allowing them to stabilize their #water relations in a #drying #climate: Losing half the crown hardly affects the stem growth of a xeric southern beech population - Scientific Reports nature.com/articles/s41598-025

  8. Quick-Drying, Fast-Cracking

    Water droplets filled with nanoparticles leave behind deposits as they evaporate. Like a coffee ring, particles in the evaporating droplet tend to gather at the drop’s edge (left). As the water evaporates, the deposit grows inward (center) and cracks start to form radially. After just a couple minutes, the solid deposit covers the entire area of the original droplet and is shot through with cracks (right).

    Researchers found that the cracks’ patterns and propagation are predictable through a model that balances the local elastic energy and and the energy cost of fracture. They also found that the spacing between radial cracks depends on the deposit’s local thickness. Besides explaining the patterns seen here, these cracking models could help analyze old paintings, where cracks could hide information about the artist’s methods and the artwork’s condition.

  9. The Best of FYFD 2024

    Welcome to another year and another look back at FYFD’s most popular posts. (You can find previous editions, too, for 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014. Whew, that’s a lot!) Here are some of 2024’s most popular topics:

    • The Taum Sauk Dam Failure and Its Legacy
    • Stretching Ant Rafts
    • Gigapixel Supernova
    • Feynman’s Sprinkler Solved
    • Calming the Waves
    • “Dew Point” Deposits Droplets
    • Drying Unaffected by Humidity
    • Trapped in a Taylor Column
    • Exciting a Flame in a Trough
    • Remembering Rivers Past
    • A Comet’s Tail
    • Light Pillars
    • Liquid Metal Printing
    • The Miscible Faraday Instability
    • A Triangular Prominence

    This year’s topics are a good mix: fundamental research, civil engineering applications, geophysics, astrophysics, art, and one good old-fashioned brain teaser. Interested in what 2025 will hold? There are lots of ways to follow along so that you don’t miss a post.

  10. “There is a crack in everything…”

    When millimeter-sized drops of water infused with nanoparticles dry, they leave behind complex and beautiful residues. As water continues evaporating, the residues warp, bend, and crack. In this video, researchers set their science to the music of Leonard Cohen. The results resemble blooming flowers and flying water fowl. If you’d like to learn more about the science behind the art, check out the two open-access papers linked below. (Video and image credit: P. Lilin and I. Bischofberger; submitted by Irmgard B.; see also P. Lilin and I. Bischofberger and P. Lilin et al.)
