Well my dishwasher sucks so I always have to scrape and rinse beforehand.
But in other situations, I mean our pipes are wide enough that little bits of food aren’t going to clog, and I guess our system is good enough at flushing everything through that it just isn’t much of an issue. We have drain baskets in our kitchen sink drains that filter out larger debris, too. I’m also new to having a dishwasher, I hand washed everything up until a few months ago, so someone else might have better answers than me.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #68 - 007 First Light 1 day ago:
I’m a big fan of both James Bond and Hitman WoA so I was super excited to hear about this. I’m dedicated to being a patient gamer though so I’ll have to wait a while first. I am really excited though.

It’s so wild to me that Americans have garbage disposal in their sinks. I visited the States a few years back, wondered “what’s this light switch next to the sink for?” and it scared the shit out of me, I almost jumped out of my skin.

Not sure if it’s exactly the same but it looks like Chapman’s Strawberry Shortcake Crunch Yukon Bar that we have in Canada.
- Comment on hockey team owner selfishly engraves his whole family on the Stanley Cup 1 day ago:
Hockey, not lacrosse. And yes, it gets reused every year. Each person who won gets 24 hours with the cup to do whatever they want with it, and then it goes to the next person. The bottom part of the cup is made of a bunch of bands or rings, that get engraved with the winners every year. The whole cup can hold up to 50 years of names, and when they need more space they remove the oldest band and put it in the Hockey Hall of Fame. It looks like the owner added all his family to the cup. It’s happened before and the extra names got struck out. It’ll probably happen again this time too.

Mine is just starting to say a couple words and I’m quite excited for these conversations.
- Comment on The function of your product is WHAT?? 3 days ago:
I’m assuming it means 1 set of 5 pieces, as in a box of 5 units. The seller might offer more bulk options. I usually see it as 1x5pc rather than 1-5pc where I work, where we deal with lots of bulk shipments, but it could just be regional differences.
- Comment on Sony 5 days ago:
This is the correct take. The option should be there for everyone. Lots of folks here are with you, where the practicality of DRM-free digital format media is more important. To people like me, collecting physical media is a hobby itself. I probably spend more time shopping for records and equipment than listening to them, for example, though of course I do listen to them as well. I used to be the same with games, which is why I have a ton of OG Xbox and 360 discs, and for movies I have a bunch of blu-rays and DVDs. Yeah, it’s hard to find space for it all but that challenge is part of the fun, at least for me. Plus it can work as interior decor too. And I know I’m not alone, CD sales are the highest they’ve been in over 20 years, and I’m sure other formats are similar. But again, having the choice for DRM-free digital is also important. Taking away our choice is bad for us all.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 5 days ago:
With the rising cost of storage I wouldn’t be surprised to see a boom in smaller games. Something doesn’t need to be 100GB to be fun. Skyrim was once small enough to fit on a 360 disc and I’ve managed to pour thousands of hours into it.
I’m so jealous you got to experience Portal 2 for the first time recently. That’s an all-time favourite for me.

Sounds like something 6ixBuzz would do, if they’re the one who posted the update.
For those unaware, 6ixBuzz is probably the most popular conservative social “news” network for Toronto and surrounding areas. Kind of like a local Fox News. The posts are bad enough but the comments, at least on Instagram, are awful.

Playing games as an adult that you couldn’t as a kid/teen is one of the great joys of adulthood.
The 360 feels like the last era of games for fun over games for profit, at least to me. It was also the last console generation where you could just insert a disc and play the game, no downloading required. That’s huge, at least to me. I’m totally fine with the smaller game files, that’s a trade off I’m willing to make for the convenience of plug and play (or insert and play, I guess).
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 1 week ago:
I only really use 500 for broiling or burning the tips of veggies. It’s really useful for making homemade soups, but I only do it for the last few minutes of the roasting process. I’ve never tried it with pizza, I’ll have to give it a go.
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 1 week ago:
Most common oven temperatures:
325°F/160°C, 350°F/175°C, 375°F/190°C, 400°F/205°C, 425°F/220°C
So functional range of temps for most baking is 160-220°C with 175°C being the most common for most standard dinner recipes. Every non-commercial oven I’ve ever used defaults to 350/175 unless you set it otherwise, and I’ve used a lot of ovens. Commercial ovens are a bit different, most don’t have a default or if they do they have memory built in to default to your last temp used, but in my experience the most common temp for commercial baking is more often 375/190.
Though obviously individual recipes vary, that’s just averages across the many recipes I’ve made in both home kitchens and commercial kitchens. I’ve used 425/220 many, many times, as have I used 325/160 many, many times. I’ve also used outside that range but it’s far rarer. That’s mostly for specialized techniques or a very specific ingredient, or slow cooking and broiling obviously.

No it was USA only. We have three mobile carriers that own all the cell towers here. You’re either with Rogers, Bell, or Telus, or one of their derivatives. There’s zero competition here, it’s ridiculous.
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 1 week ago:
I hope I get downvoted because it means this game got more attention than I thought, which it greatly deserves. I used to play it on iOS many years ago now. I haven’t played it in several years and probably still have all the puzzles memorized. It’s not filled with super obscure puzzles, but it’s the right amount of challenge with a fantastic atmosphere and vibe. Seriously, if you don’t completely hate point and clicks, give it a shot. It’s truly an excellent game.
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 2 weeks ago:
I hadn’t felt that feeling in many years, until I played Elden Ring’s DLC. It was the first time since being a kid that I felt a true sense of awe and wonder. I wish I could relive that feeling again.

Where I live (Canada, not Quebec) we mostly either do a mocking pronunciation similar to the OP or “cruh-SONT” if we’re pronouncing it normally.

My wife still has her 360 too, so we’ve got two at home, just one is put away but I know exactly where it is. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these days.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 weeks ago:
I’ll always have a 360 laying around ready to be played, so probably that if I had to choose. Every other console has come and gone, and now I don’t have time for games anymore, though I do have a pc and a ps5 (ps5 is mostly for BD/DVD these days), but I still have my 360 plugged in and off, just needs to be turned on and hdmi connected.

- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 4 weeks ago:
I thought I was the only person who enjoyed the remaster. I got it for PS5 instead of PC because I wasn’t sure my PC could handle it, and it ran very smooth for me. I know some people had issues but I put around 80 hours in and never had any problems. I still play the original Oblivion if I wanna play keyboard and mouse but I think I prefer the remaster if I’m just gonna turn off my brain and play for a while.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
Evolve. Even just against bots without any DLC characters is still a ton of fun. I recently replayed it on PlayStation and had a blast getting all the base game hunters and monsters.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
I really enjoyed my first playthrough. Never felt the need to play again, but I got a solid 65 ish hours in and enjoyed it the whole time. I haven’t played it for a while now, maybe I should do another playthrough.
- Comment on SBA #119 maths 1 month ago:
I was taught BEDMAS in school, so slightly different order. I was also taught that DM and AS are not specifically in that order, but rather left to right of the equation, in the same lesson. I’m not sure why some schools aren’t doing it that way.

If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.
- Comment on Im a weekly showerer 2 months ago:
I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.
- Comment on Im a weekly showerer 2 months ago:
This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.
- Comment on Fan-made Medal Of Honor remake. 2 months ago:
Probably a dumb question, but I started playing it, went to check controls and accidentally tried to change the control for changing weapons. When I went to set it back (scroll up or down) it’s not accepting scrolling as an input. Does anyone know a solution? Or if one exists? There’s no option for reverting to default configs.
