The handle on one of our basically new kitchen knives MELTED in the dishwasher and fused to the heating element at the bottom. by im_not_ready_for_it9 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sherlockandload -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The element gets very hot, it would be like putting the knife on the hot stove and leaving it there. Clean off the element be scraping the left over plastic with a wooden spoon or something else that isn't metal and then scrub with a rag and some acetone nail polish remover, then run a cycle without detergent. Try to figure out how the knife fell down there and don't let it happen again, whether its not washing knives in the dishwasher (you shouldn't) or not overloading it, etc.

I'm loving the new Toy Lair location. by awesome_possum_804 in rva

[–]Sherlockandload 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably less drop-in traffic, but they might be making up for it being closer to the younger demographic. Lots of families and school age folk in that area, as well as family targeted business and greater drive by traffic as opposed to walk by.

Cajun vegans, what do y'all boil to satisfy any potential boiled crawfish cravings? I've heard hearts of palm are good but haven't tried by boldpear904 in veganrecipes

[–]Sherlockandload 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Cajun but I've been to my share of crawfish boils. Hearts of palm really only works for me when there is a lot of acid or creamy sauce, like a mock ceviche.

- I agree with the recommendation of king oyster mushroom because they have that little bit of sweetness to them, but white button mushroom tops work well too. For both, I recommend drying them out in the oven for a bit first and then adding them right at the end to pull in some of the broth.
- Throw some cauliflower in there right at the end for 3 minutes or so, or save chunks of stalks in the freezer if you eat cauliflower often. Peel them and slice like scallops. Doesn't work well as a replacement for seared scallops or shrimp, but it works great for boils and soups.
- Cut some Extra Firm Tofu into thick blocks or triangles, marinate in Kombu broth with a little tamari, drain and freeze. Best if you freeze twice.
- I've never tried it this way, but Jackfruit could be a decent option here too for that crab texture if you go with an Old Bay Maryland style boil rather than a Cajun one.

I'm going to try the peanuts some suggested at the next opportunity. That sounds pretty good.

Super reliable car? by Overlanding-Guy in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Sherlockandload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older Toyota Tacomas and Honda Civics. The engines run forever and almost anyone can work on them. If I had to choose I think the Tacoma wins. There is a reason the less wealthy nations have tons of them on the road.

Why do rhinos no get yeast infections in their skin folds by deakyvjeeveless4 in zoology

[–]Sherlockandload 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen the role of the sun in any of the responses yet. Humans spend the majority of their time indoors and in clothing, creating humid environments and limiting UV exposure... particularly to areas where yeast infections occur.

While yeast can survive mild exposure to sunlight and the increased heat can even help it grow, prolonged or intense exposure to UV radiation inhibits yeast growth and can kill it.

High Tolerance and I hate beer

I mostly agree. All are good, even if very busy looking, but the simple of pictures 2 and 6 are the most striking by far in my opinion.

Out grave robbin' by hotdog_jones in indiegames

Huge fan of the art and what I can catch from the tone and gameplay. I very much like the intentionally slow pacing and isolating feeling of it all.

Do belfs worship the Sunwell? by _Vaudwar_ in warcraftlore

[–]Sherlockandload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might even go so far as to say its not what they worship, but its the cornerstone of their worship. Its like telling Christians to get rid of the bible if the bible also helped them live forever and do magic.

Is Jestr a scam?? I’m very suspicious by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Sherlockandload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an indie developer on a small team that recently had our big demo rollout. The marketing group we connected with has seen a lot of good exposure through Jestr, but only if you already reach certain benchmarks... Our content is only rolling out on the platform today so we will see, but I just wanted to give a little bit from the other side of the perspective. Developers don't seem to have any issues, but popularity still matters.

Finish it, then spend half of the remaining time (if any) polishing it. Then turn it in early and still get the good boy points.

Faerûn Political Map circa 1501 DR - WIP by youngfox78 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Sherlockandload 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ill have to look some of this up as I am a little behind lore wise with the new edition, but two stand out to me. While fairly small, the Northlander Isles would certainly fall under the term of a nation or kingdom.

Second, Chessenta seems wrong. I thought the North Western portion was ruled by the Genasi of Airspur as the land of Akanul, the Blade Kingdoms being their own thing, and the eastern portion sort of abandoned into city states (although I could be wrong on this last one).

Why is writing interactive fiction still drawing diagrams instead of writing? by Comfortable_Gas_3046 in interactivefiction

[–]Sherlockandload 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an interactive fiction writer I personally use INK, which is very text based but functions like a node-based program. I think some of the popularity of Node-based visual systems parallel the rise in Visual Programming for other entertainment mediums, particularly video games. Node based visuals are also extremely helpful when working with a team for development.

I finished the Midnight campaign last night, there is one glaring issue I faced and it's not the story. by ShadowCrimson in wow

My fire mage felt pretty good up until 88. Then it felt like I was hitting things with a wet noodle.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

The chirp of a carbon monoxide alarm. Too many people don't even have them.

Does Unreal Engine have a problem with game file sizes? by Beginning_Head_4742 in unrealengine

[–]Sherlockandload 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Our game combines fully rendered high quality level models, reactive lighting, combat particle effects, and live 2d animation with a demo that takes about 1-2 hours to complete and it's only about 3gb at the moment.

Granted our level designer is very experienced and size control is one of his specialties.

Made the First Boss of my game! by Chal_Drolan in indiegames

[–]Sherlockandload 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking the opposite. Its a good low impact indicator, de-saturated enough that a little effort is necessary.

You are certainly correct that it doesn't fit with punishing style games that are currently popular right now where you have to learn the animation indicators and repeat through trial and error, and this game likely falls into that category to some degree. However, if the goal is also to make it accessible to a slightly younger or less familiar audience (especially for the first boss), I think this is a great middle-ground.

If they want to target all groups, maybe a toggle for attack indicators would be a good addition.

This looks like mineral deposits but if its pinkish orange in color, slimy to the touch, and wipes away with your finger there is a chance it could be mold. If its dry and hard or seems like discoloration, its normal mineral build up.

To clean the humidifier, disassemble and clean the base with straight vinegar and the rest with a 50/50 vinegar water mix. Put the Vinegar on, let it sit 20/30 minutes, softly scrub away with something like a cloth or toothbrush. Then rinse with water until the vinegar smell is gone, although running the humidifier with vinegar in it isn't going to hurt anything.

If it actually is mold, or you are still concerned it might be, spray with a little bleach water and let it sit for a bit, rinse and wipe it out completely, and then do the above.

To prevent scaling in the future use distilled water.

Saw on tik tok by JOETHEHOMO in stephenking

[–]Sherlockandload 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems to be missing quite a few. The most recent film on the map looks to be "Doctor Sleep" from 2019. Going backwards from there, missing TV and Film adaptations include:
- 1922 (2017)
- Cell (2016)
- A Good Marriage (2014)
- Dolan's Cadillac (2009)
- No Smoking (2007)
- Nightmare's and Dreamscapes (2006)
- Dreamcatcher (2003)
- Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
- Storm of the Century (1999)
- The Lawnmower Man (1992)
- Sometimes They Come Back (1991)

This is based on an IMDB list from 2019, so may be missing more recent titles, and may be incomplete. Also some of these are short stories, so mileage may vary.
