Whatever they were designed for, they are currently being sold as the solution to nearly every problem. You can't expect a layperson to look further than that, and it's completely reasonable to judge what they do against the claims being used to sell them.

You can blame the marketing departments, but that original purpose you mention is no longer a major talking point (even if it should be).

So that's the craziest part. I actually think it would easily slide in, and then lock. See the way the space is weirdly perfect for it?

I tried it but I think the back of the part that the tab is in goes too far towards the sides. It seems pretty impossible to remove without breaking it.

I think I'm going to have to glue it in place. I was hoping to get it out because I didn't want to get glue on the side of fridge where the crack touches. It's pretty flush to the side right now. It's also going to be tough to keep the crack compressed while the glue dries without just holding it in place with the fridge wide open. If you have any suggestions for that let me know. I'm pretty new to this kind of stuff.

I just tried that and it doesn't seem like it. It's hard to see in the picture but there's plastic on the back of the part going around the tab, and it goes so far towards the side I'm not actually sure if bending it would work. I think it might break before it bent enough. 🫤

Oh wow that sounds like it might explain things then. It's a long story but there's a lot of partially finished but kinda botched stuff in this house so I guess add this to the list

 

(If anyone knows a better community for this please point me in the right direction!)

My house came with a Frigidaire scratch and dent fridge. I don't know the model but it seems to be the professional line and from my research it seems closest to this one but probably an older model because mine doesn't have a water dispenser.

Anyway, I'm trying to remove one of the door bins because it has a big crack in it I want to glue. I can't get it off though. Everything I've found seems to imply you can simply lift it up, but looking at mine whoever installed this seems to have put them inside a different part of the bin than I'm seeing in tutorial videos. The tab seems totally stuck inside and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Am I boned on getting this out, or does someone know a trick? I'm afraid to pry it away from the side too hard because of the cracked section on one side.

Closeup of tab inside part of the bin. Tutorials seem to imply the part below that is where the tab is supposed to go (with that little roundy part going over and behind the tab).

No one can answer this question with anything but speculation. If you enjoy the speculation that's fine, but just remember that no one here has a crystal ball and what they say is just a guess rooted in their own biases and lifestyle, no matter how well thought out it sounds.

Wow what a way to depict them! Also, "cephalophoric" sounds like the saints are part octopus 😅

The cephalophoric saints Felix, Regula and Exuperantius (patron saints of Zurich), holding their attributes, their severed heads, before Christ, 1506, Zürcher Veilchenmeister. (Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum, Zürich)

The idea behind such a depiction is that those saints were killed when their heads were cut off. So it was decided that they would be honoured to be traditionally presented like that in painting. There are no less than 134 such saints.

"Deez", likely a derivative of Latin "Deus". They were clearly a god fearing people!

What the hell was the original context for this painting? 😆

This is when noncreatives will learn that making good stuff is hard 😅

 

Is there no way to delete dms, or am I just missing it?

 

I've seen a lot of people on Lemmy singing the praises of proton mail and I've been considering making the switch. I was hoping those of you who use it might be able to give me a sense of the difficulty (or ease) of migrating my current setup to it.

Please keep things simple if you can. I'm not a very tech savvy person and don't understand a lot of the lingo and shorthand about this stuff.

Right now I have a single gmail inbox where I am forwarding several different accounts to it, some from gmail, others from different hosts. I really like this centralized setup, and I have it configured so I can also reply from any of these forwarded email addresses as well (it also automatically replies from whichever email the sender sent to).

Would any of this be hard or impossible to replicate in proton mail? My goal would be to slowly move away from gmail, but it will be a slow transition and I would need my current email addresses to forward to the new inbox as I do so.

Thanks for any insight.

 

I was recently on a vacation in Marseille, and I was really taken by the mayo there. This was often served with frites. Does anyone know a brand I could get in the west coast US that would be similar?

The main difference I noticed was a slight tang to it? Not sure how to describe it better. Hopefully someone has had it. 😅

I originally chose this instance because it seemed to be aimed at people who don't really want to join a specific community. All I can say is I barely ever think about this instance and I mean that as a huge compliment. You guys run a tight ship with almost no hiccups or issues so far. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

 

I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

 

Is there any way in boost to browse all communities on an instance other than your own?

 

I'm so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they're the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we've seen a hundred times before.

I'm honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay.

Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven't felt for a while.

 

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

 

I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.

 

What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

 

Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.
