My meds were more effective right after picking them up, turns out my apartment gets too hot. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Probably not a problem for everyone but it was a problem I was running into where my meds weren't being as effective towards the bottom of the bottle and then would work great after a refill.

My meds are supposed to be stored between 67F and 77F and my apartment has been routinely getting to around 85F for days (and weeks) at a time and by the time I was getting close to the bottom of the bottle it wasn't really working that well for me.

So I took one of those can fridges and added some temperature control to it to automatically keep it in the temperature range I need and also added a large bag of dessicant in there to keep the humidity low as those little can fridges suck up moisture something fierce.

So basically make sure your meds are stored properly or you'll probably have some additional issues that you really don't need.

Link for those curious

Funnily enough I've been a subscriber since the channel was made (I'm old) and I never saw this one pop up in my sub feed.

A highly recommended watch for sure.

Oh my gosh do you remember the name of a show they had in roughly 05-10i era that was just featuring prototypes for future technology?

I remember it featuring robotic exoskeleton, something that I'm pretty sure was Kevlar or at least functions very similarly, a sidewalk that can generate power from people walking on it. I even think it featured an "invisibility cloak" so basically a mix of practicality and stages of development. It was fun. I feel like there were a lot of shows about futuristic stuff then on those channels (discovery package basically if u know u know) right before reality suffocated it. And I can't find anything about them and they aren't ever mentioned.

Future Weapons!. RIP Mack, he was one of the many Discovery hosts from that era that got me into engineering.
