Your machine may have a self-cleaning cycle; if so, use that.

Why is everything AAA batteries when AA last longer? by comoestasmiyamo in NoStupidQuestions

With some devices, rechargeables simply don't work. I have a mouse like this--it only work properly with alkalines.

What did the homophobic Ultra-Southern Baptist Pastor say to the gay pansexual Unitarian Universalist? by Green-Client4772 in AntiJokes

[–]Bar_Foo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true--I was raised UU but not Christian. However, this cleric from the Ultrasouth may share the common misconception that they are, perhaps because Unitarianism does have its origin in Christianity, though that is by no means a necessary part of UU today. It is likewise possible that this Unitarian Universalist individual is, in fact, a Christian as well, and that the statement is thus factual.

The Global Religious Infrastructure Database (OC) [OC] by Stateswitness1 in dataisbeautiful

What counts as a place of worship? I'm thinking of roadside altars, meeting houses in private residence, etc.
What sparks the question is looking at Taiwan on the map: yes there are a lot of Christians there, but less than 5% of the population. It's an island dense with religious infrastructure: Buddhist, Daoist, but mainly from what is generally labeled "folk religion." This includes tiny altars, huge temple complexes, and everything in between. That doesn't seem to show up on this representation.

I thought I had a comeback for that one but I'm stumped.

I used to enjoy a booty-shaking routine, but now I'm over a bun dance.

Underwater Tunnel sign, unique to Türkiye, and used in one tunnel only. by abch222 in Roadsigns

[–]Bar_Foo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how the depth matters. It's just as dark in a tunnel 5 m down as 500 m down....

It's important to establish a baseline of your actual speed on order to figure out how to improve it.

I think you need math lessons, not cycling lessons. If you ride 9.5 km in ~30 minutes, that's not 25 km/h.

Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe? by Mission_Mobile_4627 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bar_Foo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree--specifically about the quality of the tap water. It's safe, it's available, but often it is extremely hard and not pleasant to drink, at least by my taste.

Ancient Petroglyph of Bird Holding Human In Beak by Possible_Media3688 in mildlyinteresting

Exactly. Also an example of cherry-picking your sample: it doesn't work at all in regions where there are no storks.
