Off to see what other music treasures I can find at the opshop. ๐Ÿ˜Š

This is the greatest YouTube video I've seen in quite some time. Fascinating, inspiring, funny.. this Bobby Fingers guy might be one of the most interesting people in the world: Jeff Bezos Rowing Boat

I might have to go and watch some of his older videos.

I found some old Melodiya and Supraphon LPs, these are old Soviet record companies. Peer Gynt by the Moscow Radio Orchestra . Awesome. And new music to me, Rimsky-Korsakoff The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh is a surprise. This is lively and interesting. There's one record with a label I can't read, will have to look it up. Also found another Menuhin record, which I haven't play yet.

I like the serendipity of finding new things. :)

Here's a cover ,

So I've got a VPN and just happen to be connected to a US server. Anyway so I've got YouTube music open and how BiZARRe is it to hear ads for pharmaceutical drugs (even for stuff like cancer).

Listening to a really really old LP of opera love songs. They don't sound gentle or loving. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Partner encountered this spider on the laundry this arvo. Does anyone have any idea what it is? The pointy abdomen is really weird (she says it's not an egg sac)

What would be the best thing to paint newly cut chipboard with to lock in the VOCs from any formaldehyde glues....? There are products that come up in a search, but nothing local that I can find.

[โ€“] WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

"Locking in" VOCs smells suspicious and possibly scammy. A lot of VOC molecules are small and volatile (as per the name), so they will diffuse through thin layers of things like paint.

Paints emit VOCs too FWIW.

It might be better to ask a chemistry forum, they'll be able to give you reasonable answers and suggestions, not hearsay (like what I'm giving) or marketing (what the salesmen say).

In the mean time if you're worried about VOCs: ventilation prevents buildup, reducing exposure.

[โ€“] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah These are shelves in a cupboard in a bedroom. Difficult to ventilate.

removable? Replace with non-formaldahyde

edit: basically: you can't seal it. It'll just degrade. And any sealant will probably offgas even nastier shit. It's a low concern tbh, unless you're talking a hermetically sealed cabinet. Air exchange happens enough to take care of it. If it's a dealbreaker, swap the wood out

Weekend weather doesn't look too good hey. I'm renting a car all day Friday for various appointments and errands (so excited to drive again after 6 weeks!!) and thought of extending it to Saturday but maybe not.
