I love vegemite, I love it's texture, taste and nutritional value of all the B group vitamins. But this article is weired.

An electronic engineer has found a bizarre new use for Vegemite that has nothing to do with eating the famous Australian spread.

Opinion on the taste of the salt-loaded condiment is divided but now its value to science is undeniable with it being used to power a light board.

Luke Weston posted to Twitter an image of a piece of toast used as a makeshift circuit board with lines of vegemite being used for the circuits.

Each line of Vegemite was carefully syringed onto the toast and connects to a 9v battery at one end and a different lead on the LED at the other end.

In a setup that McGuyver would be proud of, depending on which circuit is powered the LED will light up either red, blue, or green.

Some commenters wondered if the spread was genuine Vegemite.



'Wait, is that… Marmite?' one commenter said.

'Vegemite (kinda like Marmite but better at cricket),' replied Mr Weston.

According to Gizmodo, the high salt content of Vegemite means it can conduct an electrical current.

The breakfast staple also has high viscosity meaning it is easily able to be used to trace the circuit patterns and then hold their shape.

The bread also makes the perfect circuit board with almost all the water being dried out during the toasting. 

It really sucks being old not so much the aging process initsself but more so the injuries sustained whilst young. Woke up this morining in so much pain my lower back is killing me, so is the arthritis, carple tunel, rsi and the rest. The worst part is that i'm not allowed to take anything for the pain which means no pain killers or medication of any sort, else i'll end up having a bleeding ulcer. I've been told many a time by the expert doctors that i should move to a warmer climate and i was in the process of doing just that but love got in the way and common sense and logic took a back seat. I need to be in a warmer climate for my overall health and wellbeing and need to be around my own doctors and medical experts. But i can't go back home just yet as all my hard earned savings is tied up in the U.S. and in the rentals. Last winter wasn't so bad as we wern't here so it didn't affect me much but this year winter is brutal and killing me. Ron is not fairing too well either as he too is ailing through his own injuries and the remodel work seems so long, tedious and never ending. Then there's the added stress of trying to sell the homes so as to try and get most of my money back so as to buy a place back home in A.U.

Somewhere in Washington state, probably on the Snake River:

Maybe this is obvious to some, maybe not.  As far as I know I came up with this myself, but I doubt I'm the first.

When cooking things that involve heating of water, you can have the water do double duty by using it for more than one thing.

For example:

- Hard boiled (hard cooked) eggs, then use some of the water for tea or coffee and the rest for dishes
- Boil potatoes, then cook some pasta when the potatoes are soft

What other combinations can you come up with to conserve water, fuel or electricity while cooking?

This just in ......Santa needs a different angle to get past the border this year........
   

I did it.  When my 2004 GMC Canyon finally kicked the bucket about two weeks ago I decided to buy a full size, high roof cargo van.  It's earlier than I'd have liked, but perhaps if I waited until I was totally ready I'd be dead before I went ahead with it.

I'm still working on getting my house sold, so money is tight but manageable right now.  It does mean that my conversion won't be going full tilt for a few months at least.  I'd like to at least clean and start insulating.  I removed the interior plastic panels and rolled up the rubber/insulation cargo mat tonight.  The mat was a bit stuck to the floor due to frozen moisture.  Definitely a good idea to get that out.  I had considered flooring over it, but figured I should at least take it up and clean.  I'll try to sell the stuff for whatever I can get.

So, for those of you who have gone through this, what would you tell me to calm that tiny little voice that's telling me I've gone completely batty?

Hi from the Left Coast not far from Puget Sound or the Salish Sea. Just want to find a nomadic group to get to know. Seems I’m growing feathers and getting flighty. But the rig I hoped to use isn’t ready. Maybe in a few weeks it will be good enough to uproot and go. I’m wondering about where the van builds are?  I’ll have trailer of tools, solar electricity, materials, and look to trade working on vans. Last Winter I was in SW Arizona with my cargo van. My first time as a escapee. Though I’ve had buses and vans in the PNW for a long time. I’m so tall I got a bigger rig now. I’m wondering where I should ask about insuring a shorty cut away van school bus? I had the title changed to RV. Thanks
