  • That is the test the military used (maybe still uses) to see if the leather for their boots passes quality inspection.

    If it was not treated with TCMTB, then fungi will eventually break down the leather. If it was, it will still be there.

    We (humans) have leather that has survived in ancient ruins since the beginning of history.

    Veg tanned leather is impervious to bacteria. Fungi can damage it, albeit slowly.

    Chrome tanned leather is similar but way more resistant. Probably 99% of the leather (except shoe soles) people deal with is chrome tanned.

    If you try to put it in your compost you are going to be sad.








  • As Gen X, this is hilarious.

    They called us Gen X because they didn’t want to bother understanding what personality we might have as a group.

    Then people started counting from there for the next generation’s placeholder names.

    Y became millennials Z is zoomer, but I don’t think that’s going to stick. They may stay Z because they are X’s kids. Time will tell.

    It’s not like the boomers were ever Generation W.

    My point is that it doesn’t really matter. They will be the millennials’ kids and they will get a name.
