    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.

    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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)

    Shower Thoughts Kraiden 1 year ago 100%
    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](https://kbin.social/m/ClimateAnxietySupport)
