These were stored in their canisters for over 60 years. I have copied all of them. What is the best way to store them? Should I straighten them out and put them in protective sleeves? Or should I leave them as-is, since they are getting brittle to straighten?

I bought 35mm dedicated film scanner (Nikon CoolScan III) and I'm planning to digitize old negatives and slides I found at home.  How should I store and preserve these slides and films after I cut them and scan? How to choose best negative pages/sleeves, binders etc. and what to avoid?

I know it's better to use freshly ground beans and not store it ground at all, but if I have no other choice, how can I best preserve ground coffee?   sort of asks the same thing, but the answers focus on storing whole beans, and the answers addressing ground coffee make it pretty unclear whether a cool cabinet, the fridge, or the freezer is the best place.

I know once you have purchased a home you can leave items in the chests inside for easy storage.  My question is regarding the surrounding tables and shelves - if I remember correctly from Oblivion you could leave items on the tables and shelves and they would remain. I'm planning on trying this with a not "super needed" item and seeing if it disappears but I just wanted to ask the community if they have tried this and what the results were.

I'd been taught growing up that you should never store canned food in the fridge in the open can. Is there any scientific basis to this, or is it just an old wives tale?   What types of foods should not be stored in their can once open? Would olives, for example, be harmed from this sort of storage? Or only more acidic foods like tomato paste or pineapple be affected?

We sometimes buy trout from a local breeder who'll get them fresh out of the water for us, and then cook them a few hours later. They taste great, but the flesh tends to fall apart in a way that doesn't happen with fish from the super market. It's often barely even possible to get them out of the pot without them completely coming apart. We tried leaving them in the fridge for a day so they wouldn't be quite as just-killed-an-hour-ago-fresh, but that didn't help.   We usually prepare them by cooking them in simmering (not boiling) water.  Is there some way to prevent this?

Is there an optimal strategy for storing Eldritch Horror cards and tokens so that game play is facilitated.   I am not looking for answers that including "zip bags" and other things to keep the game element safer while is storage. Although, a strategy that works well for both cases will clearly be superior to one that only works for game play.  I am not limiting this to commercial solutions. I am quiet happy to build your custom made solution if you release the specification/plans of course!  Although, it it requires a 3D printer, more power to you.

I made some habanero salsa last night for the first time (my god, was it delicious) and took care to clean everything that was used.  I figured I was good when I had no problems taking my contacts out afterwards.  So, fast forward to this morning.  The slap chop was still out to dry (stop having a boring pepper, stop having a boring life!) so I put it all away aand then found out the hard way when I went to put my contacts in that I did not in fact clean the tools well enough.  So, I've now got a slap chop, 2 knives and a cutting board which all need to be cleaned of the oils.  What's the best way to do this?  I can throw them all into the dishwasher at once if needed, none of the plastics should melt.

The questions are: a) There are $5$ comic books, $3$ cooking books, $2$ grammar books. In how many ways can these books be arranged on a shelf if no two of the $3$ cooking books are together?   b) There are $5$ comic books, $3$ cooking books, $2$ grammar books. In how many ways can these books be arranged on a shelf if one of the grammar books is on the left of all cooking books, and the other grammar book is on the right of all cooking books.  For b) after calculation I got $5!\times2!\times10\times9\times8\times7\times6$. Did I solve it correctly?  For a) I'm kind of confused... Any help will be very much appreciated! Thanks

I always keep bread around, home-made or otherwise.  Is there a way to keep it from molding, or at least delay the process?  I've tried the fridge with some success (extra day or two), but I don't like my bread that cold to eat.  I've tried zip-top bags with no success (seems to mold faster).  Bread-box didn't seem to make any difference in time.  Thanks

I was looking through some old files recently, and it occurred to me that they might be obsolete in the future.  Are there any steps that I should take for "archiving" my documents so that they will compile properly on later versions of LaTeX?  I once went to a seminar where it was indicated that the .dvi file can be converted back into a plain TeX file, so would it be the best "archival" document?

I put a clothes pin on my opened bags of brown sugar and keep them in a dark pantry at room temperature.  Since I don't use it very often, it becomes hardened.  My work-around is to use a grater to grate it but it would be useful to avoid the problem in the first place.  How should I store it to prevent hardening? Do I put it in the freezer? If so, does it need to come to room temperature before using it?

Years ago I noticed I was getting little bugs in the flour that I kept in the pantry.  To prevent this, I started keeping my flour in the freezer.  I don't do a lot of baking, but I was wondering what effects this might have on anything I do bake.  Do baked goods turn out any differently when flour is kept in the freezer vs flour kept at room temperature?  Also, if it's okay to freeze flour, how long will it last this way?

I make a product I invented called Maybe It's Marinade. Cold pressed extra virgin olive olive, pressed garlic as the base in three varieties, AoliOliO, Dill and Cayenne Pepper, garlic powder, and titch of salt. I package it in a 250 ml mason jar. I also place the jar in a celephane bag as part of its packaging. Recently, a public inspector noticed the product and sunk his teeth into it concerning Botulism risks.   I've been making this for eighteen years. No one has ever gotten sick. I designed the product to be stored in the cupboard. Using cold pressed olive, extra virgin olive oil I have never found the product to become awful, discolored, smelly, and I set some aside in my house on several occassions for months and tested it on myself and found nothing wrong.   The product is not a method of storing garlic in the oil, with the other ingredients in the recipe, it becomes a bread dipping oil, cooking tool, pasta sauce accessory.  The use of the mason jar provides a secure lid but a very reusable easy to open situation. I do not fill the oil to the top, so that the product can be shaken. Its a very interactive product if that makes sense, in the way that it's spoon accessible.   Can you provide some sort of pro and con overview? I only see articles on storing garlic in oil, not as an ingredient in a recipe? If there's a chance i will make people sick afer eighteen years, I may have to stop making it.  Thanks a heap.

There's been a lively conversation (such as it can be in 140 chars) lately about whether it is better to put CSS files on the disk in the _layouts folder or to store them in a Document Library in the Site Collection.  This seemed like a good place to post the topic to allow some longer discussion about it.  As for me, I always prefer to avoid putting anything on the disk if I can avoid it.  I prefer a Document Library for the CSS. There are many reasons for this, but here are some: versioning, fine-grained permissions, approval processes, they are a part of a Site Collection backup, touching the server can lead to problems, etc.  I also don't believe that files on the disk will be served up any faster than files in SQL if SQL is managed correctly.  What's your opinion? Weigh in!

There are five copies of a book each 20mm thick. When tilted, they fit snugly inside a cubic box with a gap of 16mm at the bottom left as shown.   I struggled with this in a recent practice paper, any help appreciated.
