I just co-authored a #newpaper with Hafssa Tounsi from LBNL on thermal-hydrological-mechanical response of a heater test in #salt at #WIPP (Brine Availability Test in Salt). Hafssa did some great work with TOUGH-FLAC as part of DECOVALEX Task E https://doi.org/10.1007/s00603-023-03632-5

I really recommend that pink Himalayan salt.

I'm not sure why it's pink. Wikipedia says it's mineral content including iron, so I guess it's rusty salt or something.

But I literally use half the amount of this than when I use generic table salt. I mean, I used pure salt/kosher salt in the past and I might have had the same result but I don't remember.

But the Himalayan stuff seems to add real flavour.

Mmmm rusty salt.

#Microplastics could trigger cloud formation and affect the #weather new study suggests

By Mary Gilbert, CNN Meteorologist

Published Nov 15, 2023

"The authors of Wednesday’s study found microplastics affect #CloudFormation, and clouds are of huge importance to the weather we experience.

"Clouds produce precipitation in the form of rain, snow and everything in between. They also block sunlight, and less solar radiation means cooler temperatures.

"In order for a cloud to form, water vapor – a gas – needs to turn into water droplets – a liquid. Then, many water droplets need to come together to become a cloud.

"Water droplets form when water vapor interacts with tiny solid particles in the atmosphere, like #dust, #ash or #salt from the ocean. According to the study, microplastics can now be added to that list.

"These particles are #hydrophilic, which means they are attracted to water. Once the first water droplets cling to microplastics and other tiny particles, more water droplets are pulled together and clouds form.

"The process is akin to how a single spark can eventually set an entire field ablaze: One tiny particle in the atmosphere can set into motion a process that becomes something much bigger.

"According to the study’s authors, further research must be completed to fully understand the extent to which microplastics influence cloud formation.

"Could a greater concentration of microplastics lead to more clouds? Will an increase in clouds lead to more precipitation or larger swaths of cooler conditions? These questions remain unanswered."

#Beets as a de-icer! Encourage #RemoteWork! More #LightRail, less #Cars!

Scientists have found a ‘sleeping giant’ of environmental problems: Earth is getting saltier

#Salt used to de-ice roads is the single biggest source of salt in the U.S.

By Kasha Patel
October 31, 2023

"Human activities are making the globe saltier, specifically in our soils, fresh water and air, according to a study released Tuesday in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.

"The excess salt has already caused serious issues in freshwater supplies in recent decades. Saltier water led to brown tap water for months in Montgomery County, #Maryland. It also played a part in creating the #toxic lead-laden water in #FlintMichigan.

"Salt pollution isn’t some flashy threat to our existence — like, say, a meteor hitting Earth — but the issue is gravely overlooked and is a 'sleeping giant,' said Sujay Kaushal, lead author of the study. He said it might be the 'most boring but contemporary problem that we have.'

"Most people think of salt as the white specks we put in our food or the salt in oceans, chemically known as sodium chloride (NaCl). That sodium salt can also be found in detergents, other household products and more, but there are many different salts, including calcium, magnesium and other ions used in additional products — and they’re all increasing in places where they don’t normally occur.

"Over the past 50 years, salt ions have increased in #streams and #rivers as people have begun using and producing more salts, the study says. The team found that across the globe, about 2.5 billion acres of soil — an area about the size of the United States — have become saltier. Salt lakes are also drying up and sending saline dust into the air.

“'We use water for everything from growing crops to drinking to industrial processes to heating and cooling,' said Kaushal, a geologist at the University of Maryland. 'But when you have salt in the water, it affects all of those things … and it’s increasing.'"

The anthropogenic salt cycle

https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-023-00485-y

"Widespread use of salts in #food, #construction, #road deicing and #industry is driving #salinization of #water, #soil and #air. This Review describes the anthropogenic #salt cycle, compares it with #natural processes and examines its #environmental consequences"
"The suites of biological, physical and chemical #impacts that commonly occur together are known as #freshwater salinization syndrome (FSS)"

source: Kaushal, S.S., Likens, G.E., Mayer, P.M. et al. The anthropogenic salt cycle. Nat Rev Earth Environ (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s43017-023-00485-y

a, The natural salt cycle is characterized by a balance in uplift of salts to the surface of the Earth and weathering and transport of salts to the oceans. Salinization is a natural process in many dryland environments (inset). b, The anthropogenic salt cycle is characterized by accelerated transport of salts to the surface of the Earth by mining and resource extraction, increased fluxes of salt to the atmosphere from saline dust, and increased soil salinity and evaporite formation owing to desiccation (inset). Anthropogenic sources of salts exceed natural sinks, with a wide variety of geological, chemical, biological, engineering and hydrological processes contributing to human alteration of the global salt cycle.

Ever try a true Montreal style #bagel? They really stand out. They're nothing like "bagels" from other places like Tim's that are basically just regular bread dough shaped in a circle. Bagel Time on Danforth offers true hand-made, Montreal style boiled then wood-oven baked bagels. The owner moved from Montreal a number of years ago to open a shop here.
When I went in today, the place wasn't very busy. I asked why.
Turns out business slowed a LOT since the pandemic. Pre-pandemic it was so busy, the places was supplying bagels to a few Loblaws stores, catering, and the owner was going to open a second shop. Now, I'm worried about their survival.
Go there, get some bagels. #Gluten free. Salt free. You can even watch them make the bagels. Help keep my fave bagel supply around!

I just made this: rose petal pink dried peppercorn salt - which took all of three or four minutes, so I may need to dream up more fun kitchen-y tasks.

- Heat rose petals in a dry pan, to release the flavours, but watch they don't burn.
- Put peppercorns & petals, with sea salt, in a spice grinder.
- Grind.

Don't worry about amounts. Start with the petals & pepper, and a bit of salt, and keep adding salt till you're happy with the colour & taste of the mix.

Ending that tax cut for the rich would not be “double taxation” as its #DefendTheRich proponents ridiculously claim, because the federal government doesn’t levy taxes on property. Of course there is no principle against multiple taxes on a transaction either, in fact us regular folk pay those all the time, from utilities to sales tax and tariffs, and paying income tax to both the IRS and the state.

It’s just an excuse to make the rich richer.

Wealthy people who own a lot of land, houses, vehicles, boats, etc., get to deduct the taxes they pay on those things from their federal income tax bill.

The more valuable those things are, the more they get to deduct.

So if you own a mansion and a couple vacation homes and some expensive vehicles and a boat, the federal government gives you a huge tax break.

That’s part of the SALT deduction

I've been on a salt free diet for a while now (to combat high blood pressure). It started off fine, but I'm starting to tire of it. The novelty of "hey, I used to load this with salt and now it's salt free!!" has started to wear. Lately I just feel it tastes off.

So, rather than making stuff the same as I've always done (but without salt), instead I'm going to try using fruit more -- IE, vegan tofu stir fry with apples and strawberries and cinnamon, etc.

#Salt is pretty fascinating - the shape and related solubility make a big difference to taste perception. You can also cut down on sodium (salt) intake by adding glutamates (for #Umami ) - that boost overall taste. You can make a mix of salt and msg for that.
Or check out this salt formulation by Ajinomoto - ajishio - with salt and glutamate in the crystals.

Bon j'espère que vous avez eu une réelle augmentation les employés-ées de Salt et pas juste le CIO.

Today's activity:
➡️ 7km 🚲 ride with 20kg of 👦 on the back seat
➡️ 1h of jumping at #trampoline park

I'm excited like a little kid on trampolines. It's so fun!
My #somersault (not my best one) in the gif below

You know it's back luck to spill salt?

What if you spill sea water? Is that bad luck too?

And what about a tin of beans? That contains salt. Is that bad luck?

And what about a person? A person contains salt. What if a person falls on the floor?

What are the rules? What's the lore on salt? I think we need to know right now.

But people with above-average wealth and income hold the majority of political power. They’re the ones who prevent policies that would reduce inflation by targeting them, instead of a blanket federal funds rate increase. Even more significantly, they constantly fight for government aid for themselves, from the mortgage interest deduction to the SALT deduction.

Good article on salt consumption. This is something I've taken on to combat high blood pressure, and it has worked. So, no more breads, processed foods, restaurant meals (unless they'll specifically cook it with no sauce and no salt), or added salt to my food. And like the article says, it becomes quite normal after a while.

[NEW POST] Uno dei motivi per programmare qualche giorno in più ad Amman sono le escursioni che si possono fare in giornata e qui parlo di due tra le più belle e interessanti: la pittoresca cittadina di Al-Salt e il tour dei Castelli nel Deserto.

@berkes this isn't so much about not using #Ansible specifically, but more about not using any of those tools (#Salt, #Puppet, #Chef, ...) when one can use #Nix / #NixOS instead...

The "snowflake" in the middle is the Nix/NixOS logo.

#FunFact #DidYouKnow most of the salt in natural food stores "does not contain iodide, a necessary supplement" make sure you're getting your #iodine !

#IodizedSalt can be really great! It helps prevent #hypothyroid and #goiter! Especially in people who don't live by the sea or eat #seafood. Iodine is also in #dairy.

But if you have #POTS and you use more #salt than average, make sure you're not getting all your salt from iodized salt.

Too much iodine can also cause #thyroid problems.

Here in Britain, we regularly eat the leftovers of a sea that came and went 220 million years ago, when the first dinosaurs were just getting started. More than half of our salt (57%) is mined from Middlewich in Cheshire, which was sitting in the tropics (15 N) in the middle of an arid desert. The shallow basin flooded & dried up repeatedly, leaving a thick layer of salt that’s still there today. Edible rock is a bit weird, but enjoy putting it on your chips!  #ocean #salt

I've experienced abnormally warm weather so far in #Vermont (and lots of rain), but temperatures will drop soon & we will get real #winter #weather.

Do you know about best practices for applying #salt for #deicing your sidewalks and driveways?

If you are coming to #FOSDEM in February 2023 and are into #ConfigurationManagement, we strongly recommend that you extend your stay in Belgium and attend Config Management Camp.

#CfgMgmtCamp is held in Ghent (50 km north west from Brussels), right after FOSDEM.

While we wait for next year's schedule, check out previous year's schedule at https://cfgmgmtcamp.eu/ghent2023/past/

@darius Might need to increase my salt intake. (If not now then certainly by June, when I tend to run a bit low on the blood pressure.)

Another experiment with pescatarianism couldn't hurt.
