Goo-B-Gone or Goo-Gone, plus steel wool like SOS pads or Scotch-Guard. Razors would work if it was a flat surface, but on a curved one like a bottle or glass, you want the flexibility of the steel wool.
Lots of good suggestions in this thread already, but long ago I used to work at a company that sold second-hand stuff where we often had to deal with stubborn labels and I haven't seen our "nuclear option" mentioned yet. Brake cleaner, which is basically an organic solvent in a spray can, should be great on glass. Be careful with it, though, it melts some kinds of plastics. And ensure it's used in a well-ventilated area.
Try that if the usual GooGone type stuff doesn't work.
We also used WD40, it tended to be gentler on plastics. Though it left a greasy residue that we'd need to clean off afterward and it was pretty slow.
I used it throughout undergrad and grad school. I found it helpful. Not sure what you need Grammarly for but if you need MLA or APA help, I would recommend checking out Perra - www.perrla.com. Made formatting and references so much easier.
An Oxyclean soak is the most common way I see homebrewers recommend for removing labels from bottles. Definitely a good choice if being food safe matters.
I like to use WD-40, I just lube it up and massage the adhesive until it dissolves into a goo that can be removed with dish soap. I find the goo-gone that I tried evaporates too quickly to soak into stiffer jar label adhesives.
If you have Microsoft Word, just use the built in spell and grammer check. It's far more capable these days and is very feature rich.
Another user pointed out how much worse you can make your writing using it. I had a peer in a group project put our work through Grammerly and mindlessly accept what it said to do and it ruined the writing.
Mind you, I've never been a fan of Grammerly and certainly don't understand how people could pay for it. And certainly would never be comfortable using it for free, because then they're data mining me.
i haven’t tried olive oil and other similar oils like others have suggested, but there’s a product in my country that’s specifically sticky stuff remover (like label residue) and it’s made of orange oil
It's in the peels and has lots of the fruits flavour. All citrus have it, that's why you grind a bit of lemon peel into your food: It tastes way more lemony than the juice.
Ernest is the creator of kbin and the admin of kbin.social. When another instance federates with your community it creates local copy of your community on that instance. The first admin of the kbin instance is always listed as the "owner" of the federated community but they cant actually take any moderation actions in your community. I believe the admin of the federated instance can moderate what appears on their instance though.
Ooooh okay.... that make sense. For a moment I honestly thought someone was just lazily mooching off my content (it has happened before, sadly) but if that's basically the default setup for every community not native to kbin, then I don't have anything to worry about. =)
As long as it does start syncing eventually, that’s fine with me. I would just have found it weird to kinda “block” that particular community/magazine/etc. across all instances if the end users don’t even get access to the content.
… but then again, the Fediverse is probably just overwhelmed ATM so things like these slow down for a while. It’ll probably get better once the dust settles a bit after the reddit exodus (reddodus? rexodus? exoddit? I can’t think of a good portmanteau)
New video games and books lol. Also, my husband and close family members--I like seeing people I love happy and look forward to the time I have with them since life is short.
Thanks for asking! Lately I've been trying to cut down time spent in social media and other apps to be more present at home and giving more attention to people around me.
I've also tried to take more active role in meal preparation, my wife has appreciated that. :)
