    Did you use vinegar?

    Jokes aside. Yes. I did a vinegar wash then I ran a whole cycle of just water. Cleaned it out pretty well.

    TIL the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a lemur, a strepsirrhine primate native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth that perpetually grow and a special thin middle finger.

    It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unusual method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward slanting incisors to create a small hole in which it inserts its narrow middle finger to pull the grubs out.

    Today I learned that I should just embrace a diet of strictly cardboard because when I come in contact with YUMMY food I want to (and usually do) eat allllll the food. *hangs head in shame*

    And I'll throw in a confession... I typed this while eating dark chocolate covered cranberries.

    TIL that the presence of water is a crucial factor in destroying or inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms with isopropyl alcohol.

    Water acts as a catalyst and plays a key role in denaturing the proteins of vegetative cell membranes. 70% IPA (Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol), also known as isopropanol or IPA)solutions penetrate the cell wall more completely which permeates the entire cell, coagulates all proteins, and therefore the microorganism dies.

    Extra water content slows evaporation, therefore increasing surface contact time and enhancing effectiveness. Isopropyl alcohol concentrations over 91% coagulate proteins instantly. Consequently, a protective layer is created which protects other proteins from further coagulation.

    Solutions > 91% IPA may kill some bacteria, but require longer contact times for disinfection, and enable spores to lie in a dormant state without being killed.

    A 50% isopropyl alcohol solution kills Staphylococcus Aureus in less than 10 seconds, yet a 90% solution with a contact time of over two hours is ineffective.

    If you all are trying to trick me again to change my profile to a pickle... It's going to work.
