Baking soda can be used as a cleaning solution with water, but it's not nearly as effective. The reason experts recommend using vinegar and baking soda is because it's a highly effective organic cleaner that does not have any harsh chemicals like most over the counter alternatives. The smell of vinegar does not last as the smell goes away once it dries when using the correct ratio with water. If for some reason you did not mix vinegar with water then it will take a little longer for the smell to go away (it can be as little as 10 minutes up to 24 hours). If you want to rush this process then open a box of baking soda in the area where the smell is.

I think i dont really need to know what happens to a sweets mascot in america i didnt meant you shouldn't inform you about the world. Also it is extremely important to have input of other people that dont agree with you. But i talk with some right wing dudes at work about economic to get this.

That's still an incredibly small demographic of the population. If I include every single person I know to the point I would have any form of discussion regarding with them it would be 100 at absolute max. That's roughly .00000001 of the world's population. Also how is the Internet different from radio or news shows or anything else

You mean stay in your little bubble and only believe what the mainstream media feed you? You think things happening in other parts of the world don't affect you? I feel sorry for you.

I've seen a lot of mental health tips here, but I feel it is important to mention your physical health too. Make sure you don't have any vitamin deficiencies that can easily be countered, because you may find your "laziness" being just a symptom of a bigger problem. Get checked out, people!

I think there's a balancing act here. Only listening to the people on your immediate circle is dangerous as it can create an echo chamber of ideas. And to ignore other countries issues when the world is so intertwined is ridiculous.
I do agree that spending time arguing with people online is potentially wasteful. But take the information in, learn from it, and broaden your mind

I don’t question the merits of vinegar, or baking soda. I question the claims pertaining to the mixture of the two. What happens when they mix is not a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact. What I object to most of all is the treatment of scientific/factual matters as if they are subject to opinion. That treatment represents a dumbing down of our society; it’s anti-intellectual- and I’d make the case that anti-intellectualism is a cancer to society. It’s toxic and deserves to be treated as such.

Wow and NOPE! So many of us are insulated within our family, friend, faith, or work relationships that we may never be exposed to issues that affect others. I am not suggesting that what one reads here or other places on the internet is accurate, but it can introduce us to ideas, issues, and dilemmas that we may need to know about or vote on.

Vinegar's main chemical component is acetic acid, which makes the solution a strong cleaning agent for stains, dirt, grime, freshening laundry, cleaning windows and much more. Vinegar’s acid count can cut through grease as well as remove hard water deposits. It acts to kill bacteria and viruses, like E. coli and salmonella, as well as other germs that can find their way onto countertops, dishes and bathroom surfaces. Just about any vinegar (distilled white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, malt vinegar, any specialties) can be used to clean because they all possess the masterful trait of high acidity.
Baking soda is vinegar’s equal when it comes to cleaning. It can be used almost as widely and partners up well with the acidic helper. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is chemically akin to salt. This means it is a neutral compound with a slightly high pH level. In short, it will absorb anything that is acidic, rather than cutting through or masking. Many odors are in fact, acidic, which is why baking soda is so great at neutralizing them. This acid-base reaction is also why baking soda and vinegar partner up so well.
When cleaning spread a dusting of baking soda across the area you are targeting, depending on how bad the buildup is you can leave it sitting for a a few minutes to a few hours (or overnight, if you can) and then splash vinegar on top and you’ll be able to remove the buildup. You can even use a paste of baking soda and vinegar to remove stains from fabrics and act as a gentle surface cleaner.
Like the other user said, your toxic feedback is not necessary as it's possible to have a constructive open discussion with different opinions.

I have this book but I haven’t read it. Silly me used my goal as an incentive to want to do something rather than “have to” do something.

Arm and Hammer has a monopoly on the market and employs special interest groups to buy congressmen so that they can suppress other cleaning solutions...

Baking soda and vinegar is used as a cleaning solution and vinegar with water in a spray bottle is used to neutralize odors (there are other uses but these two are the most frequently used). Make sure and use a ratio of 2 cups of water to 2 tablespoons of vinegar for the odor neutralizer so that the vinegar smell goes away within half a minute. Depending on how bad the smell is you can increase the amount of vinegar up to a 1:2 ratio.

Very early in your tenure, find out what their pain points and annoyances are and either make them go away or help them understand why you can't. Sometimes it's really simple things, like not having access to the best/closest printers, or BS excess process. Once they see you as someone they can go to with their problems, you are the boss.

So keeping vinegar overnight is not enough time to negatively affect anything other than neutralizing bad smells. White vinegar is actually used to resolve rust not create it. Here’s a link explaining the process on the Home Depot website.

Is it pseudoscience garbage if it helps?
whiskytamponflamenco t1_j6f6fgb wrote
Sounds like pseudoscience garbage. If you're jealous and possessive with your partner, you need to be seeing a psychiatrist. Whatever the fuck "practicing non attachment" means is not going to help you because the problem is your own personal issues -- usually anxiety or personality disorders. Jealousy is a symptom and only an expert can give you the tools to better your mental health.
