Indigo is of course blue and is the most common dye for denim, but there are other synthetic indigo analogues in purples, reds, and even greens. Most of these dyes would have similar properties to indigo and would therefore have similar wear/fade patterns.

Are there any clothing companies using these dyes? I would love to have a pair of true purple or red jeans that fades exactly like regular blue jeans.

I've tried multiple different green hair dyes, and all of them tend to turn either blue or yellow as they fade. Looking at the ingredients lists I can see that most of them are a mix of a blue and a yellow pigment (e.g. Basic Blue 9 and Basic Yellow 2), so I'm assuming that one of these dyes probably fades faster than the other.

Are there any hair dye products that have ONLY green pigments in the ingredients list?

I'm taking several B vitamins and would like to consolidate to a single B complex supplement to simplify my stack. However, most of the B complexes I can find have 50-100mg of B6 which is a dangerous amount for long-term use.

Is there a B complex that has 10mg or less of B6? The only one I've found is this one from Thorne which is kind of pricey.

I'm putting together a one-shot loosely based on House (1977) (aka Hausu). I'm envisioning this as a light-hearted horror romp where, importantly, all the player characters die by the end.

I was thinking about using Dread but looking for other systems that might work well for this.

Curious if something is going on or if it's just my house.

My house doesn't have air conditioning. I make lactoferments (kimchi, sauerkraut, dill pickles) pretty frequently, and I've noticed a consistent pattern: ferments that are started on hot days end up firmer, crisper, and with a fresher flavor.

My theory is that warmer temperatures cause the ferment to acidify faster, preventing enzymatic breakdown and preserving flavors.

I've gotten great results with ambient temperatures up to 85 F, but you could probably push it even higher.

All of the common antacids (Tums, baking soda, Gaviscon) contain carbonate, which produces gas when combined with acid. Are there any antacids that don't do this?

The bus driver takes photos of drivers who obstruct the bus or fail to move out of the way, and they receive tickets in the mail.

This would incentivize bus ridership.

This has been bothering me for years. In the lobbies, some of the track names are on green backgrounds and others are blue. You can see it in this screenshot. I haven't been able to figure out anything different between the green tracks and the blue tracks. Does anyone know what it means?

I bought some sencha from a local tea shop and paid $22 US for 2 oz. It's emerald green in color, has a nice smell, and brews into a fairly tasty cup.

However, the tea has a lot of small particles that pass through my strainer and form a significant mass of sediment in the bottom of the cup. This sediment seems to give an increasingly tannic/astringent flavor as the cup sits, which I find slightly unpleasant. Is this normal for sencha?
