  • You sandwiched your admission that the photo showed blue tarnish on silver between a claim that the photo didn’t show blue and the false claim that the OP specifically asked why blue in particular.

    Your post started with “pictures of tungsten aren’t helpful”. This is proof you didn’t read the Wikipedia article where it shows a silver coin with tarnish.

    The OP didn’t say blue. They said colorful. You brought up blue to deflect from you not reading the article that showed colorful silver tarnish.




  • Are you sure it’s 35% ? I’ve found those cheap digital hygrometers to be off by 10-15%.

    I bought a box and some say 10 and some say 20. I ended up buying several different brands and price ranges of hygrometers to try and figure out which ones were correct.

    I use cereal boxes with desiccant and without any active dehumidifier they stay at ~25% despite being frequently opened and closed. So like others suggested, put a large flow-through bin of desiccant in and forget about it.

    Also is that a compressor dehumidifier? I suspect it’s a desiccant wheel because it’s so tiny.













  • They are large and heavy. They are only useful for their virtually infinite life. If the military needed it for a few of their bases, they’d contract it out, a few hundred would be built and that’s it.

    For example a few thousand ISDN adapters were built for the government military. But it lacked corporate support because the Telcos didn’t want it cutting into their profits. So ISDN barely existed for consumers. Consumers suffered with 56k modems for 5-10 years until broadband- which telcos sold for more than a phone line, were immune from all the competition requirements of regular phone lines, plus got TV programming profit.
