Doesn't help that it looks like he hasn't been active in the codebase for a while either. Well, publicly at least

Lol, did you watch the updated video? The only thing he got wrong really was that you don't necessarily need to fill the dispenser, depending on how hard your water is. The rest of the advice remains the same.
Kraiden 7 months ago • 100%
Yep, the video (or possibly the follow up video? don't remember) goes into this. I'm in a very hard water area, so we fill it, but you're right, it should depend on hardness.
Which incidentally, is another reason tablets suck.

Posting this as a top level comment as well for visibility.
The tablets are a scam.
Ridiculously detailed video about them here.
The TL;DW is: use powder over tablets, and fill both the main detergent section AND the prewash section (or just throw a little extra powder in loose)
Also, run the hot water before turning it on

Can someone eli5 the "without prejudice" thing to me? What do they think these magic words mean?

House flipper, The Sims, Planet Zoo/Planet coaster, Two Point Hospital/Campus, or anything in the creative management genre. Stardew Valley is good, and in the same vein, Graveyard Keeper.
If you have a Switch, Animal Crossing
If she likes Factorio, try Terra Nil maybe?
Also, there's always minecraft in peaceful mode?

Exactly this. It's a terrible, outdated story that essentially sells "staying together for the kids." The whole way through we were both like "ye these two need to get divorced." The book is a villain.
Eta: game play was fun though

Golden Sun for GBA... except it was taken so I added an I... it's occasionally taken so sometimes I switch it for a 1 but I hate doing that

This is basically my assumption whenever I hear "CEO X says RTO is the bestest thing." My first thought is always "I wonder how much money CEO X has in commercial real estate"

So this is anecdotal I know, but I work on a Mac, so I've only ever held on to Windows for gaming. (Sidenote: The Mac isn't my choice, either, but it has a terminal, and it does the job)
I've definitely tried to go fully Linux in the past, but it was always gaming that killed it for me. Wine was just never very consistent for me in this area.
Long story but, I recently lost my gaming machine, and was gifted a friends old one. Also a long story, but he ended up putting Linux on it for me. I figured I'd use it as is until payday before buying a key for Windows.
Holy shit gaming on Linux become has easy! Steam/proton is amazing!
I won't lie, it's not always as simple as install and run, but the tweaking that's been required has been orders of magnitude simpler than what it used to be. Click a box 90% of the time, Click a box and add a run parameter for another 5%.
The only games that haven't worked for me are Starfield and Cyberpunk (accounting for the last 5%.)
Starfield might just be too much for this old machine, but Cyberpunk I have no idea. Neither are a huge loss to me when Balders Gate, and Elite Dangerous are running fine. Also long standing favourites like Just Cause 3/4 work perfectly too.
I'm thrilled and a little shocked to say I think I'm finally done with Windows

Teardown is on my wishlist! Might pull the trigger this weekend and try it out. I did enjoy Spiderman, but death stranding was waaay too slow for me lol

Just Cause 3, but I'm honestly a bit tired of it now. I love just wingsuiting around the place and I've never found anything else that gives me that same level of catharsis.
I do switch to JC4 occasionally just for a change of scenery, but the wingsuit feels too... floaty? In that one. Idk, just doesn't feel the same.
I am desperately open to suggestions for something similar in terms of brain off flow state gaming.

I'm sorry but absolutely not.
Finding vegan foods is easy, as you've pointed out, however eating well as a vegan takes thought and planning. Especially in the beginning.
This is why so many people fail when they first start. They just cut out everything with animal products, and end up eating bread and salad, and give up when they're basically malnourished and starving.
Saying Vegan is not hard is a disservice to anyone seriously considering it. Instead of being condescending about it, give people resources to help them get it right.

Don't be like the idiots in the video. If anybody actually wants something like this, barefoot shoes are a thing. They're thin enough that you can feel the ground underneath you, while still protecting you from random nails and glass and shit. If you like being barefoot, give them a try. They're a nice middle ground.

Also drunk at an office do. Decided to ride a mates long board around the desks with tight corners and a polished wood floor. When the inevitable happened, I tried to catch myself and did something to my wrist. It's never been the same again, and even the remotest bit of strain leaves me in pain for days afterwards. Sometimes it'll just start aching randomly for no reason too. That was like 10 years ago now

At this point, Trump throwing tantrums is kinda just assumed. It's hardly news...
Although I have to admit the move to monitor the monitor is hilarious.
"We'll have our own monitor! With blackjack and hookers!"
Edit: damn it, someone already made this joke! I'm leaving it.

One day only! Trust me, you can't smell old socks but everyone else can! They also make your shoes stink. In the same vein, never wear closed shoes without socks unless you want them to be eternally smelly

I use DDG when coding and generally find it to be a bit nicer, but from the article it sounds like they're prone to the same issues. Anecdotally, I have noticed non-code queries do seem to be similarly crap

Lol, you've made some assumptions there. It's not a Nintendo product. Nintendo would NEVER release any kind of flash cart themselves, as they're begging to be used for pirated games.
Everything you've said about game carts are basically why we'll never see an officially licensed product like this from Big N themselves.
With that in mind, it still makes no sense as a product because you can run games off the SD card already (I assume. Very out of touch with Switch hacks)

I'll take "Unethical accounting" for 500, Alex
Hey fellow climate-conscious folks, I hope this post finds you all in good health and high spirits despite the challenging times we face. Today, I am announcing the a new community/magazine that aims to be a safe haven for individuals dealing with climate anxiety [@ClimateAnxietySupport](https://kbin.social/m/ClimateAnxietySupport) [https://kbin.social/m/ClimateAnxietySupport](https://kbin.social/m/ClimateAnxietySupport) The aim is to be a community created with love and empathy for those of us who find ourselves grappling with climate anxiety.

I was gonna post it here, but I believe that's against the rules. Sooo, where would be more appropriate?
Climate change is killing off coral reefs and destroying fish habitats, plastic pollution poisons, chokes and further kills off sea life, and then huge trawlers come in to scoop up whatever's left. It's a three pronged attack on the ocean, and once it dies, we won't be far behind. Not just because of food, but because something like half of our breathable air comes from the ocean. It's also a huge carbon sink. Once it goes, climate change accelerates, and we choke and starve. No fucking wonder the orcas are pissed. Not sure this is the right place for this, but it was a legit shower thought, and I had to get it out of my system. Is there a magazine/community for existential anxiety support or something? Preferably not one full of weird denialism? Update: There wasn't, but now there is. [@ClimateAnxietySupport](https://kbin.social/m/ClimateAnxietySupport)
