Short notes about ordinary products, practical decisions, and things worth understanding.
Automotive
A wiper blade that is hardened, dirty, misaligned, or moving across a contaminated windshield can grab and release instead of sliding smoothly.
Try cleaning both the windshield and wiper blade to see if it improves. If not, replace the wiper blade.
Garden
Unglazed terracotta is porous, allowing water vapor to move through the pot wall as well as out of the soil surface.
Home
Vinegar is acidic, which makes it useful against some mineral deposits and alkaline residues, but that same acidity can damage certain stone, grout, finishes, and appliance components.
Kitchen
Wood conducts heat much more slowly than metal, so the handle of a wooden spoon does not rapidly become as hot as the food or pan it touches.
