what if instead of paying companies to delete our info off of databases periodically we like. idk. passed a law that said companies couldnt do that anymore. and set up some kind of task force to disband all the companies that do that. thatd be cool
Dumb people do not value prevention.
Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.
InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation
They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.
Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.
He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.
Which is why the dishwasher in the place we just moved into enrages me so much. It's literally bad at being a dishwasher.
The racks are the most asinine design I've ever seen. You need to space bowls out so much for them to actually get cleaned that it you get a total of 5 across the bottom. The cutlery basket is in the center of the bottom rack, which is less space efficient than having it along the side. It also lacks separation holes to prevent cutlery from touching.
Worst of all though, the racks have no place that makes sense for glasses or mugs. It feels like you are rolling the dice on whether a glass or mug will fall over of smash into other dishes.
I'll get pictures later.
Worst dishwasher I've ever had. Can't even change it because it's against the lease.
Wanted to make one of those classic anime pre-credits freeze frames, and I've been meaning to do a Polka fanart since she debuted, so here it is
(The timing of me finishing this right after the Forza 6 wave hit Hololive is a complete coincidence, but hey, I'll take it)
"I want children to suffer" is the ultimate flex by red-pilled conservative anti-feminist dorks who are equally racist when screeching about birth rates dropping.
“spicy pillow” jokes aside, I think @flowerkrone’s tags deserve a serious reply:
#my old phone looks like this on my shelf lmao #im too scared to touch it to throw it away #idk what trash this even goes into when its at this point
The pillow-shaped object here used to be the phone’s battery. It’s not a battery anymore. Now it’s a balloon full of corrosive, pyrophoric chemicals and hydrogen gas and it’s one puncture away from burning your house down. I am 100% serious. You should be scared to touch it.
But you gotta touch it, because you gotta get it out of your house before the pressure builds up to the point where the balloon pops. This isn’t going to happen soon – there is no need to panic – but it will happen eventually.
And, indeed, it doesn’t go in the ordinary trash. You put this in the ordinary trash and you’re gonna set the garbage truck on fire. Don’t do that to the garbage collectors, their job is hard enough already.
The first thing you need to do is get a fireproof container. The most common household item that qualifies as a fireproof container is a cast-iron cookpot with a cast-iron lid – often sold as a “Dutch oven.” Any other cooking container that’s unreactive, has a very high melting point, and has a lid made of the same materials will also work: enameled or stainless steel, Pyrex with glass lid, etc.
However: Do not use a pot with a PTFE-based non-stick coating. If the battery does explode, the fire will probably be hot enough to degrade a PTFE coating, producing toxic smoke. (Not that you should breathe the smoke from the battery fire either, but PTFE breakdown products are worse.) Do not use a pot made of aluminium or copper. The fire might even get hot enough to melt those.
Whatever container you use, you might have to throw away along with the phone, so don’t use your good Dutch oven for this. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap one.
Once you have the fireproof container:
Gently pick up the phone and put it in the fireproof container. If possible, gently tape the phone to the bottom of the container to prevent it from bouncing around. Don’t put any padding in there, that’ll just make a fire worse if it does happen. Put the lid on and tape it shut.
Put a label on the container, something like “DEFECTIVE LI-ION BATTERY – FIRE HAZARD”.
It is now reasonably safe to move the container around. However, if the battery does explode, the container is very likely to leak smoke and get hot, so keep it in a well-ventilated area and away from things that will be damaged by heat. Don’t leave it exposed to the weather, either.
You need to find either a hazardous waste disposal site, or an e-waste recycler that will accept defective Li-ion batteries. I can’t help with that because I have no idea where you live.
However, your local fire department, if you have one, will probably be happy to help. Call their non-emergency number. Nothing is on fire yet, so this isn’t an emergency, but things that can easily start a fire are still within the fire department’s responsibilities. Tell them you have a phone with a bulging lithium-ion battery, you put it in a fireproof container, and you want to know how to dispose of it safely.
If the fire department tries to tell you this isn’t dangerous or it’s okay to throw it out in the regular trash (with or without fireproof container), hang up on them and write a cranky letter to your local government representatives, then keep looking for a proper disposal site.
When you do find a a hazardous waste disposal site or an e-waste recycler, call them and make sure they will take defective Li-ion batteries, before showing up. That’s also a good time to ask if they will let you have the fireproof container back.

Reblogging because I would have had absolutely no idea what to do, either.
The moment capitalists came up with the subscription model, the purpose of advertising stopped being for simply making people aware of a product they might want to buy. Now they exist to be irritating. They want you to go "Ugh, fine! These ads are way too annoying! Ill pay you to stop advertising to me!"
The enshitification of nearly every aspect of daily life by these ads is intentional. I mean this with total sincerity: ads have intentionally become an insult to life itself.
This is why adblockers are moral and ethical.
At this point advertisers should be paying us for our time and bandwidth if they want us to watch ads. Make a competative ad watching market. Attention is valuable these days.
Before you make fun of Lindsey Graham’s death, ask yourself if Donald Trump would mock the death of somebody he disagreed with and whether Lindsey would make excuses for that mockery.
Then… go right ahead and make fun of Lindsey Graham’s death.

He will not be missed.
Rich people are literally just lying about being good at money btw
100% true. It's amazing how incompetent they are.
yes im addicted to attention and orgasms and food and shiny jewlery and 7$ Iced Lattes. does that really not sound like an awesome lifestyle to you
It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's regime was (checks notes) due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website
Prison, for all involved.
Need to start making examples of people who do shit like this.
First Appearance of the Kodiak by Mike Nielsen
I would not be surprised if the origin of the Kodiak was someone mentioning "laser claws."
Apparently the base variant is a really good mech for its BV. I don't know how the heat management would go though. I would assume it runs hot.
On a completely different note, the Kodiak-5 is really good in MW5: Mercs. Primarily because it can mount 11 medium energy weapons, which means 11 Clan Medium Pulse Lasers. An uninteresting build sure, but it quite literally kills most mechs in a single Alpha Strike. This is important in a game where you can lose equipment and need to pay for repairs and replacements. Having double armor compared to tabletop doesn't save you from how much damage enemy clan mechs deal. If you aren't killing them near instantly, you are almost certainly losing a mech.
Regardless, love the Kodiak. It may not be an Omnimech, but it's still very good. Been one of my favourites since I first encountered in MW4: Mercs, which was my first Mechwarrior game as I missed MW2 and MW3 growing up.
New Rakshasa art from the newest Battletech Activity Book (#4)
It looks too cool!!!! That's just wrong!
Where box?
New Core Box, releasing in September iirc
I meant the box aspect of the Rakshasa. If it doesn't look like metal plates riveted together in an hour, is it really a Rakshasa?
