i have a 65-35 and everything is powdered like it should. however, every time I try to test it or light it it refuses to light keeps going out and burns slowly and the sugar visibly melts on top. The potassium nitrate was in bead form so I did re-crystallization in the oven at 200° with just potassium nitrate. I'm using commercial powdered sugar. after I burn it, it's also leaving this clumpy black residue. Any reason why? delete if not allowed in the sub reddit

so usually, I have a alexa playing K-LOVE in my room at low volume. I have Alexa+ and usually I could just say "Alexa off" if I want her to stop jabbering. but recently when I tell the one in my kitchen the word "Alexa off" it continues talking and says something along the lines of "ok.ok. turning off but continues talking" and turns off the music in that room. I keep that Alexa muted so there's no way it could hear me from there. They are separate accounts. Any reason why?
