How do you get rid of "wet dog" smell in a dishwasher?
  • 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.

  • How do you get rid of "wet dog" smell in a dishwasher?
  • 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

  • The Sims 5 Pre-Release PC Build Has Been Leaked Online
  • this new The Sims game promises to stay true to what The Sims has always been

    The Sims 5 will be a free-to-play game.

    Uuuuuuh huh. I wouldn't touch anything EA with a 10 foot pole at this point.

    I'll wait for Paralives thanks.

  • What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?
  • 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?

  • What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?
  • 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 It's a terrible, outdated story that essentially sells "staying together for the kids."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

  • Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs
  • 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

  • What is your game to de stress ?
  • 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.

  • Beer and Wine are vegan drinks.
  • 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.

  • Climate change, plastic pollution and over Fishing combined will end humanity.

    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
