I’ll have to take your word for it. I’m just parroting what the dishwasher repair guy told me.

Occasional cleaning in the dishwasher is probably fine, as long as it’s occasional. Dishwasher detergent contains enzymes that eat away at the food on your dishes. Just be sure and do it with a full load of dirty dishes, otherwise those enzymes will start eating away at whatever else is in the dishwasher. 

It’s why if you read the manual of your dishwasher, it will usually tell you to not rinse your dishes before putting them inside. Those enzymes need something to work on, and if there is no food for them to munch on, they will start munching on your glasses and dishes, dulling their finish. 

Pirate Santa Rap.

Someone please do this, and do it FOR REAL - none of that AI slop.

Found him! No spoiler needed!

Our hotel was in FiDi, but I had issues even in Midtown. I have a brother in Harlem, and when I mentioned it to him, he was not surprised.

We come up to visit our daughter pretty regularly. I usually don’t have issues when I go to NYC, just these past two times when it was downright painful. 

I would have a love for it to be a cold, but I have never had colds with no other symptoms than burning lungs when I am walking down the street in Manhattan.

Two, actually. And they were almost a year apart. And it didn’t happen in Brooklyn, only in Manhattan.

I’m obviously not discrediting the study, only stating that I didn’t notice a difference. Clearly 20% cleaner is not enough for me. 

Normally I’d agree with you, but I’ve been traveling to NYC once or twice a year for the past 8 years, was there for 5 days, and only had issues on the most recent trips.

I sure didn’t notice it. My trip to NYC over Thanksgiving week left me with sore and painful lungs nearly every day I was there.

And now imagine how that feels for people who don’t have direct access to the press, you fucking cunt.

America First?

They want to keep it because it’s a double recursive acronym, GNU Image Manipulation Program, where “GNU” translates to “GNU’s Not UNIX.”

So clever.

It’s 2026. Can we please change the name to something NOT juvenile?

Fuck Israel. The Netanyahu regime is genocidal and needs to be crushed.

This is just e-waste. Please don’t buy this. The resolution is 480p. Spend a few dollars more and get something you will actually KEEP.

This man is a hero. We should all be doing this.

My very first PC (though not my first computer) was a white box 386SX running at a lofty 16MHz with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB HDD. The motherboard (which I still have) from an unknown manufacturer.

That single computer spawned a hobby and an eventual 28-year career in IT hardware and operating systems.

SO MUCH WINNING.

Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.

Oops. Didn’t realize this was women-only. Didn’t mean to intrude.

I’ll see myself out.

It’s going to be okay.

You are going to get through this.

Don’t give up.
