  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

This is an odd question, it was prompted by another thread.

Like a lot of people, I'm a fan of silica beads as they work wonders for both releasing moisture and absorbing moisture.

One thing I've noticed is here in New England, beads hold a bit higher then their specified amount. I use 65% beads and they hold 68% solid. It seems every New Englander I've spoken with also says their 65% beads holds around 68%.

Any idea? Maybe we would have to ask some scientist. My guess would it involves something to do with the area's climate. Who knows.
