goddamnedtwisto posted:...but conversely bio powders don't really work at high temperatures Ooh ooh.. this isn't really true any more, and the reason is really cool (well, I think so at least) mini-effortpost time! For hundreds of years we used soap and various acids/alkali materials made from stuff like urine, ash, etc. During the first world war, these chemicals (fat especially which is needed for soap) were running short, so the growing chemical companies at the time started inventing the chemical detergents we have now. But at the same time, biologists started discovering protease enzymes, which break down proteins, like for digestion or recycling within the cell. These could then be used break down the traditional tricky stains such as 'tomato ketchup/chocolate/ice cream' **. However, like most of our proteins, these break down outside the normal body temperature range of 30-40 degrees, hence the 'normal' washing temperatures we have now. If you wash at 60 for example, the enzymes get destroyed completely, and you are left with normal washing powder. But... billions of years ago, before anyone had even figured out legs, a branch of bacteria formed a unique and rather cool adaptation. 'Normal' cells have cell walls made from two layers of fat/oil that make the cell wall. In this new bacteria, these two layers get stitched together with an extra molecule of phosphorus making the wall much stronger. A bit harder to grow, and not as flexible maybe, but if all you do is chill where other life can't even survive, it's perfect. And these ancient bacteria, or Archaea, have done very well for themselves since. They live everywhere on earth - the pretty coloured bacteria that live in mineral springs for example are Archaea. They even make up a fair amount of our gut biome (and we have never found one that causes any diseases in humans which makes them pretty awesome) And it's from studying the extremophiles like the hot springs archaea that we now have the protease enzymes in our washing powder that work perfectly well up to 70 degrees or so. ** advert stand-ins for 'blood/poo poo/jizz'

My kids have a pretty simple uniform that we can buy in Tescos. I'm too good to em, and iron it every morning just so it's nice and warm to put on.

Total Meatlove posted:Please don’t ignore this, it’s really important that you engage with your supplier on this and get the SMETS2 meter installed. They do rely on a mobile signal tho, and I'm in rural south wales too, with absolutely no mobile signal whatsoever. A lone figure standing on top of the nearest hill, folornly waving one arm in the air trying to receive a security code is a common sight round these parts. After the 3rd or so time explaining this over the phone, they stopped bothering me, and noone has bothered me for a couple of years now.
