I am wasting my time this morning trying to fix a bathroom sink. Looks like the aerator is clogged, but it’s stuck and I can’t get the damn thing off.
Checked the supply lines and there is plenty of pressure, so the “clog” in the faucet must be in the line going to the outlet/aerator.
Currently soaking it in vinegar to see if there are any calcium/mineral deposits that have locked it up. If that doesn’t work, any other suggestions for getting the aerator off?
@eriner I don’t think I’ve ever removed the aerator since the faucet was replaced 13 years ago, mainly for this exact reason. I could never get it to turn while the faucet was in place.
I’ve made sure to regularly clean the one in the powder room, but the main bathroom is the realm of the women-folk. Lesson learned.

#GazaSoupKitchen Update on July 15, 2025 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer
"Dearest allies,
Please know I’ve missed you these last three weeks as I was on the move again. From Boston to San Francisco, from Minneapolis to Sandy, Utah — we talked about #Gaza and the difference we can make in Gaza and for Gaza.
I thought to finally send you an update — long overdue.
#GazaSoupKitchen Update: The Sugar is $100, But Our Spirits Are Free
Dear friends, supporters, and fellow believers in the power of food and love,
We’re back with a dispatch from the heart of the chaos — Gaza. Where prices fluctuate faster than Bitcoin and the “sugar market” is apparently hotter than Wall Street.
True story: sugar in Gaza now costs $100 per kilo. A kilo of flour? That humble pantry staple you can buy in the U.S. for under a dollar? Here, it’s $20.
So how do we keep going?
We invented dynamic budgeting. No joke. Every kitchen’s daily budget shifts based on the price of lentils, pasta, flour, and oil. It’s like running a commodities exchange — but instead of investors, we have uncles with ladles and kids with empty plates. And somehow, we make it work.
We’re now operating 10.5 kitchens (yes, the half counts — it’s part-time but full of heart). These kitchens serve meals daily without fail. Our crew is now 60 strong, with most locations run by a team of six working around the clock, often with little sleep but lots of resolve.
We're also delivering clean water. And our “flexible food” initiative keeps rolling — think falafel wraps one day, fresh mulukhiya leaves the next, and even slushies for the kids. Sweetened not with sugar, but with cough syrup — because cough medicine is one of the few things that still has sugar. That’s where we are now.
Our classroom still runs three times a week, led by our amazing niece Fatema, bringing some structure, joy, and snacks to kids who deserve better than war.
Our medical point is treating up to 85 patients a day, and we send meals to the hospital daily. A warm plate of food might not fix everything, but it can give a parent or child just enough strength to hold on.
But behind every slushie, every lentil pot, there’s pain.
Yesterday, I lost my friend Murad and his entire family. Their tent was bombed. Murad and I went to elementary and middle school together. He was one of the smart kids — we competed for grades. He had a future, a wife, children. Now, nothing. Another bright light extinguished in a place full of ghosts.
And there’s another story that won’t leave me — a Palestinian woman sprinting through the camp in a panic, trying to find a spoonful of sugar for her husband who had slipped into a diabetic coma. She knocked on every tent. Nothing — no dates, no candy, no halva. She returned after 15 minutes to find him gone. He didn’t die from a bomb. He died from the blockade. From cruelty masked as policy.
Now people sweeten tea with canned pineapple syrup. That’s what survival looks like.
Still — we go on. Most of our operations focus on the west of Gaza, where nearly a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering. And we continue to show up. Even when the fire under the stove isn’t just metaphorical.
We’re hearing that more aid may enter Gaza by Thursday. If it does, prices could drop — even if just a little. That’s what hope looks like now: praying sugar costs less than gold.
We’re also speaking out — engaging the media, pushing back against disinformation, and confronting bad actors like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. We will not rest until the people responsible for this suffering are held accountable.
We’ve never stopped. Not for a day. Not when we were displaced. Not when flour disappeared. Not when the skies rumbled.
---
And now, a call to action — from one human to another:
If you have the capacity to give, please consider sending a gift. No amount is too small when you're being starved. Your generosity helps us keep cooking, keep serving, and keep hope alive — one meal at a time.
Thank you for taking action for Gaza. And thank you for standing with us — and with organizations like #UNRWA, who continue to do critical, life-saving work in Gaza while under constant attack.
Your love and care are felt here every single day.
With sorrow, hope, and slushies made of cough syrup,
The Gaza Soup Kitchen Team

P.S. If you received an email from GoFundMe showing an incorrect donation amount, please know there's a glitch in their system and we’re working to fix it. Thank you for your patience — and for staying engaged."

If you add up the number of phones and the amount of current it takes to download and install on a single phone it's negligible but with 150 million devices it adds up.

☣️ Un second pesticide interdit dans l'Union Européenne retrouvé sur le site BASF de Genay
Suite à l'inspection citoyenne menée par les faucheuses et faucheurs volontaires d'OGM le lundi 23 juin dans les locaux de BASF à Genay près de Lyon (piaille.fr/@lessoulevements/11…) et qui avait permis de trouver une palette de 250kg de Fastac et un bidon de 50kg de sa substance active "alpha-cyperméthrine" (piaille.fr/@lessoulevements/11…), un second pesticide interdit dans l'union européenne a été identifié : le dimpropyridaz, exporté depuis longtemps par BASF au Brésil.

🎓 Pour la rentrée 2025, je lance un projet de #reconditionnement d’ordinateurs à destination d’élèves et de familles qui n’en ont pas, pour contribuer à réduire la #FractureNumérique (avec, je l’espère, des élèves motivés pour m’aider ! ^^).
Je cherche donc :
→ Une distribution GNU/Linux libre (sans clause NC) spécifiquement dédiée à l’éducation au second degré — une sorte de PrimTux pour le collège/lycée : ça existe ?

À défaut, quels seraient selon vous les meilleurs choix parmi :
1. PrimTux (interface trop enfantine pour des ados ?)
2. Debian Edu (solide, peut-être trop austère ?)
3. Trisquel Edu (je ne connais pas)
4. Emmabuntüs DE4 (je ne connais pas non plus)
5. EdUbunutu
6. Linux Mint Xfce personnalisé (qu’on bricolerait et transformerait en ISO maison — intéressant mais chronophage)
Je compte toutes les installer et les tester avec les élèves.
Mais s’il y en a une qui fait déjà référence autant le savoir dès maintenant 🙂
Merci pour vos retours 🙏

Fortunately, the files themselves are saved in Dropbox (I made him do this years ago because I anticipated something like this was going to eventually happen). He just no longer owns a computer that can run Quicken 2002, so he can't access the files.

Will give it a try. My current path is to try to get Quicken 2004 to run, then convert 2002 to a 2004 file. Then install Quicken 2013 (the last before they switched to subscription service) and then see if I can convert 2004 to 2013. That should keep him running for a while, at least.
