😋 I love Cranberries, but nearly all juices are sweetened with sugar or fruit juice (like apple or pear), so hostile to diabetics. I sometimes find 100% pure Cranberry juice $$$$ and cut it with Club Soda. Just found this in the drink cooler at work: Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale ZERO Sugar.

Rust stain in a glass bowl resisted everything I tried. Was considering rust remover which is extremely corrosive and toxic, so have to equip safety gear to use. Instead, I tried 'Bar Keepers Friend' which I use to clean my stainless kitchen sink [contains Oxalic Acid]. Worked impressively easy!

My mini-PC noisier than it used to. Finally got around to blowing dust out of it. Was running at 70°C / 158°F with fan, now running at 47°C / 117°F. Not much dust came out, but fan has returned to being quiet. ☺️ Used electric Air Blaster / Duster. Don't over-spin fans! Ear protection required.

Geek Tip: The key to neatly coiling cable is to rotate the cable axially, often between your thumb and forefinger, as you coil. This allows the internal conductors to more easily form a coil. Smaller diameter cables can take more effort, but it is possible to neatly wrap a Dell laptop adapter.

😞 By random luck was near AC / heat unit and heard clicking that puzzled me. Discovered drain hose inside was detached, dripping onto the recently (Mar 2025) replaced semi-hard liner. About 3 mm of hose was previously holding it! Lucky I run a dehumidifier, or would be a much larger mess!
