When unloading the dishwasher’s silverware rack, just take the whole thing out and unceremoniously dump it out onto a towel on the counter. Makes a ruckus but beats taking flatware out one by one while bent over the dishwasher.

Also, pick up all of the same size fork or spoon, then hold them loosely while shaking your hands and they’ll naturally align into their proper nested position. Actually lots of identically shaped things will do this when gently shaken. I used to align nerf darts vertically in a bucket like this as a kid

The former, unless those disasters also included neutron radiation (admittedly I don’t know much about either disaster)

Radioactive contamination: things don’t transfer the property of radioactivity to everything they touch and/or irradiate. If that were the case, the entire Earth universe would have become radioactive gray goo long, long ago.

When radiation workers talk about “contamination,” we mean radioactive compounds have physically transferred from one object onto/into another. For example, tools becoming contaminated with radioactive metal dust from equipment they touch, or clothing absorbing radioactive iodine gas from the air.

There is a form of radiation called neutron radiation that does make some formerly stable things (mainly metals) radioactive. This isn’t something you’re likely to encounter unless you’re a specific type of radiation worker, however.

This is mainly gear-grindy to me because the reason we don’t have gamma-sterilized produce in the US is completely unfounded fear that gamma irradiation “contaminates” everything it touches. So we could be having lovely fresh strawberries and peppers that last weeks longer than they usually do, but no, we can’t because rAdIaTiOn ScArY 🙄

the most excellent-premise-crappy-execution movie i’ve ever seen

happy furniture hunting! :]

Fun fact you can hack a self-cleaning oven to use the hellfire temperature of 500 ° F to make good ass thin crust pizza!

you have to figure out how to bypass the door lock, use a pizza stone, and put the pizza as high up in the oven as possible. but you can get a damn good thin crust pizza with enough creative engineering and some experimentation.

recommended to try this project in winter as it dumps loads of heat in the house lol

I have a tiny kitchen but also an appliance addiction. I have an entire folding table dedicated to all my beautiful machines for which I lack counter space, lol

When I lived in a studio with negligible counter space, the portable dishwasher sat atop one of those commercial grade wire rolling racks, which also doubled as shelves for my irresponsible amount of spices

Don’t let lack of counter space stifle your maximalism. Just make more counter space lol

one’s environment can have a pretty big impact on what one eats and how often one gets to move

as someone who regularly brings a literal suitcase of bagels back from NYC to my uncivilized home state, I know the exact feeling you mean

(protip to be un-fire-able: bribe coworkers with new york bagels)

I hope you have some better days soon. You deserve good days <3

:(

no way for you to be prescribed an emergency supply and get self injection training?

honestly just modern medicine and indoor plumbing/water treatment

the amount of not dying from random infections we do these days, no wonder there are so many humans

didn’t realize there was a system adaptation based on it. very cool!

spot check with 2 squares of tp, when clean use single-use mini towels (I bought a pack of 100% cotton terry cloth squares similar to those used in auto shops)

the butt/coochie towels go in their own hamper and get laundered separately with the hottest wash setting

i live alone though. if i ever manage to convince a woman to marry me i imagine modifications may be requested…

Mother I feel like changed the way I view storytelling and RPG game design, like I use it as a mental benchmark for story-driven and/or turn based RPGs

Like I don’t think I would have appreciated OFF or Omori the same way without having played Mother games as a teen

there’s not really a way to know for sure but I imagine the price would actually come down somewhat due to removal of red tape and paperwork associated with drug control

possibly also from increased competition if that made it easier for a drug manufacturer to begin producing previously controlled drugs

for example amphetamine salt production is capped by the US DEA. if that cap were removed the supply would increase and the price might very well decrease

sadly this is largely useless speculation

Most drugs should be over-the-counter. The especially dangerous or addictive ones maybe just require counselling with a pharmacist first. But I’m more concerned about people not able to access the medication they need than I am about idiots removing themselves from the gene pool by OD.

People in my dumbass country would rather 10 people with a genuine medical need suffer as long as 1 addict can’t get a fix, and it’s so many layers of bullshit.
