  • Just remember that dessicant (including rice) should be dried out in the oven if you’re going to expect it to drop humidity below normal ambient humidity. Obviously not baked, but a few hours at ~180F to ~220F will dry out most dessicants. Some are really hydrophillic, though, and might take even higher temps.

    Usually the kinds that dry out at lower temps are labeled as reusable or similar terminology. (unless it’s a disposable packet, then it’s what ever the hell they decided to throw in there).

    Those are far too generic of things to place you on the spectrum more than, “not a conservative fuckwad that doesn’t care about others”, which itself is a huge spectrum.

    As Cowbee said, a lot of the differentiation on the left is economic prescription, and your plan for how to bring that prescription in to reality. Most all of the left is socially progressive and accepts others, so that’s not differentiating much.


  • Fun fact: that’s not how humidity works. It, in fact, DOES help to get water to evaporate by forcing the local humidity around the phone to stay low. Otherwise you may as well say all the people doing 3D printing that use desiccant to keep water out of their filaments are fools, too.

    What it won’t do is magically erase any gunk or minerals that were in the water that can short out traces on unprotected PCBs and chips even with the water gone.

    So, yes, it is not magic that can fix any phone that saw water. Though it absolutely helps to get the water out of the phone. … I mean, unless you live in a desert where the humidity should already be sufficiently low most days.

    While House was a bit of an ass, such behavior I’m sure comes up more often than doctors would like. Sure, people that self-select by going in to the hospital are far more likely to accept treatment than the nuttos that think essential oils can cure Measles, but people resist good advice for all sorts of stupid reasons. Also some good ones, like, “I literally cannot afford it”.
