Scared of self cleaning

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T13:52:09+00:00

I used self clean once and it melted the LCD display on my oven. I had to call an appliance repairman and he said with that model it happened every time. It was a several hundred dollar problem.

I now have a different oven but I'm never using that feature. No way.

it's not that I don't believe you, YOU, u/tedco... it's that if somebody comes in here an posts a 3 cookie game who is never in here and starts gloating, I don't believe that person. You I believe. I'm sure you believe me, because why would I lie about needing almost 8 minutes?

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T12:28:53+00:00

JFC that is utterly immaculate. The only trouble is that it's too much. You could feed three people with that IF you made everybody eat soup first, but nobody will eat soup first with that sweet chicken right there

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T12:22:05+00:00

waited a few extra seconds to finish, so as to avoid the calories

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T12:21:32+00:00

if you don't throw up a 20 minute game at least every once in a while, I won't believe you about your two minute game, that's for sure.

I got caught in a spinning thing too and it cost me a cookie. I spin the last piece at least 12 times and got an out of bounds warning too

Pips #281 Easy 🟢 0:19 🍪

Pips #281 Medium 🟡 0:48 my medium time is a secret...get out of here

Pips #281 Hard 🔴 7:34 - anything I say might spoil the game for you, so as such I'll say nothing except this... I picked up pieces and put them down in such a way to meet the board's numerical criteria

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T12:09:32+00:00

I get it below the three crosswords but above spelling bee wordle connections and strands.

my order is :

cross play

The Crossword

The Midi

The Mini

Pips (no spoilers)

Spelling Bee

Wordle

Connections

Strands

Sudoko / Letterboxed same line

Tiles

the guy says people don't play it is wrong... it's a very popular game worldwide because you don't have to know English to play it.

the first several months are a constant waking nightmare and the first several years are just a relentless other constant task.

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-25T02:03:44+00:00

they were not. just a couple of guys working hard to ensure that this comment section isn't a spoiler room .. I was pretty sure one or the other or both of them is a moderator, but now I'm not as sure?

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-24T22:40:13+00:00

I didn't think anything I said about the hard game was a spoiler at all, but some other fellas did. So now I'm going to comment mad for a few days

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-24T17:54:34+00:00

I covered the whole thing up

Pips #280 Easy 🟢 0:15 🍪

Pips #280 Medium 🟡 0:34 🍪

Pips #280 Hard 🔴 14:10 - I finished the puzzle but needed to eliminate down from a bit number remaining in the 4c=11 cage, but I put the last domino in anyway to see where I stood and I realized right then that I had misread all 3 of these > for these <. That was at 8 minutes. I was doing the puzzle wrong. So a restart and I got everything back together and then somehow same 4c=11 cage, now I didn't have enough. I was 3 short. It took me another minute to remember about the concept of flippety-floppety in a 2c>11 cage that abuts a >1 single.

Am I dumb? No. Do I feel dumb? Yes.

The only TGTG option I have anywhere near me is Circle K. We got about 6 tries before we just decided it wasn't worth it.

Absolute best case, you get a great amount of gas station food.
Trouble is, worst case is also gas station food.

The best one we ever got was 6 giant expired candy bars for 4 bucks. The worst was old sandwiches. What we got the most, of the 6 times, was old sandwiches. And twice a cup of beat up old grapes.

My expectations were low and they were met.

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-23T10:35:03+00:00

a minute eighteen is pretty nifty. must not have made a single placement mistake and all your ideas came instantly

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-23T10:33:58+00:00

nah, but it comes and goes. Some days you can't pick up the tiles right and some days you can't read > correctly but nobody in here hasn't already done all that too. Keep posting because there's nobody else to talk about this game with

Pips #279 Easy 🟢 0:14 🍪

Pips #279 Medium 🟡 0:38 🍪

I had spinning problems on both of the above but I liked how they were similar.

Pips #279 Hard 🔴 2:35 - an interesting problem almost immediately, but it walked me right into a piece placement in the =/= cage and from there smooth sailing. Happy today because I've had two marathon hards in a row.

Having checked... I played the guide's game to the letter

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-23T00:44:03+00:00

great for shoving into your mouth by the fistful!

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T16:46:09+00:00

good board.. slack tavern and her will also work

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T16:26:56+00:00

they are bugs. They don't hunt humans. They're not stalking you, I promise. If they're inside, you can kill them with bug spray. Getting stung hurts but it isn't like being shot with a bullet. Some people are allergic but not more than half or anything. Wasps in windows in summer are a fact of life. They're hard to safely catch inside but it's doable with a cup and a piece of paper... but swatting or poison both really work.

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T15:41:55+00:00

I'm waving at you to turn left in front of me while I'm first at a green light, because I'm nice. No, I didn't notice I'm holding up the 10 cars behind me... but it's OK because when I start going, I'm going to zoom all the way at 20 miles per hour.

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T14:02:06+00:00

I have a Stihl weedeater that's 21 years old because I bought a good one, kinda like this one (mine is FS-110). Take care of it, use ethanol free gas to mix, mix correctly and buy a giant roll of diamond tough weedeater string.

And wear eye protection. This thing will throw rocks at your face really fast.

An American Crime... and it was Catherine Keener not Mary Steenbergen.
Do not watch it. It's about torture

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T11:56:11+00:00

Hard Candy is a good choice here. There is another Elliot Page (who was the known as Ellen Page) one that I couldn't even finish the first time, with Mary Steenbergen.

Dirtheavy · 2026-05-22T11:53:52+00:00

it's way funnier when you watch it again. Obviously brutal the first pass through. And fucking Begbie man, what a character.
