Hi all! We'd like to stop using our plastic cutting boards due to cutting little bits of plastic into our food. Unfortunately, the most obvious alternative, wooden cutting boards, are more of a pain to clean.

I'd love suggestions on what I could use instead. I saw there's a brand called Epicurean that uses some sort of other material that can be machine washed. Has anyone used them before?

I'd especially love something made in Germany or in the EU, but I'm open to looking farther afield if necessary.

Thank you!

Das macht absolut Sinn! Irgendwie habe ich das gar nicht erkannt, wahrscheinlich weil ich an "Junge" sofort gedacht habe.

Hallo alle! Am Wochenende habe ich ein Brettspiel (Cthulhu: Death May Die) gespielt, wo ein Monster "Dunkles Junges" geheißen hat. Und dann habe ich gesagt, dass "Das dunkle Junges hat mich angegriffen", und meine Freunde haben mich korrigiert: "das dunkle Junge".

Und meine Frage an euch: Warum? Ich bin kein Muttersprachler, aber ich habe bis jetzt kein anderes Wort begegnet, das ein "s" im Akkusativ hat, aber keins im Nominativ. Gibt es andere ähnliche Wörter? Gibt es eine Klasse von Wörtern, zu der "Junges" gehört, zum Beispiel wie die Wörter, die im Genitiv mit "n" enden statt "s"?

Danke für eure Hilfe!

Edit: Ich habe hier Akkusativ / Nominativ gesagt, aber die Frage ist wirklich über den bestimmten oder unbestimmten Artikel

I'm with you on Clair Obscur (I need to check tbe spelling literally every time I write that). I usually don't risk the money on new games or things not-on-sale, but after all the positivity, I decided to go for it. And what a game! I'm still in Act 2, and I am loving it so far.

I'm playing Wylde Flowers. It's a farm sim game with witchcraft, but I mostly like it because it is extremely low-stress. No inventory management, no time pressure to do things, just building a farm and talking to / romancing people.

I picked it up after I got to the point in Subnautica where you have too much contact with leviathans, and I need something calm and relaxing. Maybe I'll make more Subnautica progress soon, though :).

Edit: Spelling

I had a similar question a while back and ended up with Voip.ms.

Hallo Leute! Ich suche ein paar Dinge für den Saunagang, in diesem Fall einen Saunakilt. Ich habe früher Handtücher und Bademäntel von Amazon gekauft, und ich habe mich damals schlecht gefühlt, und ich würde voll gern eher von einem Laden hier in München kaufen. Kann irgendjemand mir was empfehlen?

Ich habe schon in dem kleinen Laden im Phönix Bad geschaut, aber sie haben viel mehr für das Pool als für die Sauna.

Vielen Dank!

 

Hi all! I have a Fairphone 4 that is serving me very well, but it occasionally reacts as if someone had touched the screen, such as scrolling randomly, zooming in in the camera, pulling down the settings menu, etc. I assume that there's something on the display that occasionally activates something.

I have cleaned the display several times, but still have the issue. Before I buy a new display to swap it out, which costs 70€, I'd like to know if anyone else has had this issue, and if you found a good way to fix it other than swapping out the display :).

Thank you!

When I toured the concentration camp at Dachau some years ago, the tour guide was very clear on this point: people did elect the Nazis.

In 1932, the Nazi party became the largest party in the German parliament, with 37.3% of the vote. It is true that it was not mandatory to make Hitler chancellor, but as the head of the largest party, it would have been expected.

The Nazi party received massive support in democratic elections, where the expectation of the voters would have been that if the Nazi party gained enough seats, Hitler would become chancellor.

This is an important point to me, as it shows that it is possible for democratic elections to result in a fascist government that dismantles democracy. Ignoring this historical example prevents us from applying the lesson to new situations.

Hah. I tried doing some research about what this kind of drain is called, but I have no idea. I've never had a drain like this before, but I guess it must not be too rare?

In my case, the issue is that it starts to stink a lot. We had a plumber out a few years ago, and he opened that thing up and used a plunger to remove a ton of hair. He then suggested we wash it out every now and again, but I haven't been able to do it for a while now, since I can't get that thing open.

[–] cabhan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not at all a silly question! I have tried, yes. Also, I've been able to remove it before, but the last time I put it in, I really jammed it in, I guess. There are no threads, so the turning is really just about generating force.

[–] cabhan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

This looks very promising! Have you used something like this before? Most references I see online use this to remove the entire drain, not simply to turn the little thing inside. Is that accurate?

It's not the most complex game, but Dixit has really beautiful cards, in my opinion.

[–] cabhan@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago

I agree that the cards are great! Have you heard of the Fan Art Pack? It has variants of a bunch of the cards in a different style, which I also quite like.

As St IGNUcious said, proprietary software is the sin. Using vi the penance.

 

A specific question, but maybe someone here knows! My shower has a drain. When I remove the cover and the "thing" inside of it, there's a stopper with an O-Ring.

We used to be able to pull the stopper out and clean inside the pipe (suggested by a plumber), but I now can't remove the stopper anymore. It appears to be quite stuck, and the angle is also terrible to get a better grip on it. I don't want to use pliers, because I'm afraid I might snap the thing that you hold, and then I'm really in trouble.

Can anyone give me suggestions what I can do to get the stopper out? Is there a technique I don't know? A device I could buy?

Thank you!

 

Hello all! I've been a Software Developer for almost 15 years now, and after staying at my last few companies for only 2 years each, I'm starting to think about the possibility of becoming a freelancer/contractor. I'm looking for more flexibility in my work and getting out of parts of the corporate culture that I have grown to dislike.

I'm in a good place financially, and so I'm looking to see if it's a possibility. I speak English and German fluently, and have primarily a background in webservice and FE development, though I can also do quite a bit of Rust and have dabbled in Android apps a bit. I also have some experience with medical software. I think my biggest issues right now are business model development / pricing and finding customers.

Does anyone know of any good resources? I find quite a bit online, but a lot seems geared towards being self-employed generally, and not to the software industry itself. I'd be looking for either good websites or books, or general starting points for research.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!

I bought Ghost of Tsushima in one of the recent sales, and I've been enjoying it a great deal, so I'll likely be joining you there.

 

I have the feeling that over the past years, we've started seeing more TV shows that are either sympathetic towards Hell and Satan, or somewhat negative towards Heaven. I just watched "Hazbin Hotel" today, which isn't too theological, but clearly is fairly negative towards Heaven.

In "The Good Place",

Spoilers for The Good Placethe people in The Bad Place end up pushing to improve the whole system, whereas The Good Place is happy to spend hundreds of year not letting people in.

"Little Demon" has Satan as a main character, and he's more or less sympathetic.

"Ugly Americans" shows demons and Satan as relatively normal, and Hell doesn't seem too bad.

I only watched the first episode of "Lucifer", but it's also more or less sympathetic towards Lucifer.

I have a few more examples (Billy Joel: "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints", or the very funny German "Ein Münchner im Himmel", where Heaven is portrayed as fantastically boring), but I won't list them all here.

My question is: how modern is this? I've heard of "Paradise Lost", and I've heard that it portrays Satan somewhat sympathetically, though I found it very difficult to read. And the idea of the snake in the Garden of Eden as having given free will and wisdom to humanity can't be that modern of a thought, even if it would have been heretical.

Is this something that's happened in the last 10 years? Are there older examples? Does anyone have a good source I could read?

Note that I don't claim Satan is always portrayed positively, or Heaven always negatively :).

 

I just played a round of Machi Koro with a friend, and at a certain point, he was far behind. He didn't have many buildings that grant money on other people's turns, and the rest of us had also purchased a lot more red buildings than him.

I'm looking for ideas of house rules that make help provide some sort of catch-up mechanism if you're far behind. Do any of you have any tips?

If it matters, we usually play with the Harbor expansion, but are willing to play without it as well. We're already considering it because of how extreme the Tuna Boat can be.

 

I do not know if it's true for all countries, but at least the USA and the UK require your passport to be signed to be valid. And I know that when I fly, I sometimes get checked if it is signed.

Is there a practical reason for this? Does the signature get checked against anything? Or is it simply that the law says a passport must be signed to be valid, so there you go?

I googled around a bit, but only found resources on how to sign, but not why it needs to be signed.

Thank you Internet hive mind!

 

As far as I am aware, grazing animals like cows or sheep poop in the same meadows where they eat grass, but presumably don't have any problems eating the grass and pooping in the same space. But if humans would eat vegetables that they had pooped on, my understanding is that we would get sick.

Why? Am I incorrect that grazing animals poop where they eat? Are their stomachs more resistant to whatever makes it dangerous?

Thank you!

 

Hallo Leute!

Ich versuche anzufangen, als Tanzlehrer als Nebenjob zu arbeiten. Ich plane ziemlich wenig zu verdienen (weniger als 1000€ im Jahr), und ich suche einem:r Steuerberater:in, von wem ich Beratung bekommen kann, was ich machen muss. Ich habe Lohi kontaktiert, aber sie bieten nur Lohnsteuererklärungen an.

Kann jemand mir einen:r Steuerberater:in empehlen?

Vielen Dank!
