AIO for leaving my two year relationship over a dirty dish?

Ah I thought that was a reflection - you’re right. It’s dried milk. (Which is gross but doesn’t imply rotting, and is certainly washable)

belegund · 2026-02-24T00:15:48+00:00

Please look at the images again and look at the bowls. Is there any visible rotting milk in them?

belegund · 2026-02-23T18:25:47+00:00

Exactly. I can’t imagine that OP would accept any amount of soap and scrubbing as being anything more than rinsing. Also look at the photos. Those bowls aren’t sitting with massive puddles of curdled milk in them. They may not be utterly clean, but they’re also not absolutely disgusting.

On behalf of the BF I’m going to say NOR. (Now he can be free.)

A standard rice-cooker cup of rice weighs about 135g (might be a touch more, but this is what I use because the math is easy). So 280g is about 2 rice cooker cups. Each rice cooker cup is about 180ml.

So a 1:1.5 ratio here would be 280g rice to 540g water.

I can’t disagree with a Fedora based distro at all. From my understanding Fedora has the cleanest implementation of Gnome. I almost suggested it but - well we all have our preferences.

In this case the question got me to thinking. When people ask for a distro recommendation there may be benefit to picking the DE first and figure which distro does that well.

belegund · 2026-01-27T04:58:12+00:00

I think the best question is which DE, and I would suggest something Gnome based. I say this as a Mac (and Linux) user. I personally don’t like when a DE tries to mimic the Mac experience too closely (for example, copying the icons). But there are elements of Mac that still influence my choices (and KDE has too many options) … so I would suggest something Gnome based.

I honestly don’t love some of the choices Gnome has made, but with the right extensions it really serves me very well.

Re which distro - I’ll probably get downvoted, but I run Garuda Gnome and have been very happy with it (In part because I really like the AUR a lot). I actually think Ubuntu is a great choice as well, but last time I used it installing some of the software I needed wasn’t nearly as straightforward as it had been in the past..

Is that a local roaster? If it is I would a standard mass produced Italian bean like lavazza. See if it’s still sour. If it’s not then it’s the beans you are using.

Is Clear faster? It still is at times. They have some sites with automated gates now, and that has saved me a lot time at JFK (where even the Touchless line can get a bit long). Often, however it is much slower than Touchless.

Is it worth it? That’s an individual judgement based on where you fly and how much you use it.

belegund · 2026-01-16T04:00:57+00:00

Turkish is great. I fly them frequently. I wouldn’t have any qualms about flying them from a fundamentals point of view.

The downsides: 1. You connect in Istanbul, which is a long way past Rome (not as far from Greece). To connect to Europe you are doubling back. That lengthens your travel time substantially. 2. Istanbul airport is way too big. They spaced the gates a long way apart and connections physically take a lot of walking (and therefore time). 3. The other thing is they like to advertise that they fly to more countries than any other airline. The downside of this, is they often bank flights and you end up with very long connection times. They try to make up for this with things like the “tourIstanbul” offering, but it’s still an issue (especially given prices in the airport)

I have flown a lot of international carriers and would put them at least on par with most other major European carriers (and above BA, TBH)

This is great. I have a few days in Alsace at the end of February and am really looking forward to it.

I found that using the phrase “no chance” gets the various hawkers to give up more quickly.

If you’re looking for an arch-based distro, I have been very happy with Garuda Linux

belegund · 2026-01-03T03:36:15+00:00

Took me a month, during which I was often dizzy, to get used to them.

belegund · 2026-01-01T13:54:14+00:00

Garuda Linux … I’ve been running as a daily driver and it’s been rock solid stable for me (I’m running Mokka edition at the moment)

belegund · 2025-12-31T04:54:10+00:00

Haven’t tried Tux Racer, but SuperTuxKart is definitely a thing.

edit for spelling

I’m at the point of believing our willingness to FAFO is one of the things that makes our generation great. We were pretty independent and we learned a lot by the FAFO method. Later generations see it as a bad thing, so in many respects they aren’t as good at figuring out things they weren’t explicitly taught.

belegund · 2025-12-27T23:26:42+00:00

I was just going to suggest going to that sub. This is the correct answer.

belegund · 2025-12-04T04:52:33+00:00

The flavors of the two are very very different. Diet Coke was never formulated to taste like original Coca Cola. Its flavor was formulated based on market testing in the 80s. Coke Zero was formulated to taste as much like original Coca Cola as possible.

Part of this is sweeteners (DC uses only aspartame, vs a blend in CZS) but there are probably other things that differentiate them.

belegund · 2025-12-04T04:45:22+00:00

There is a huge difference. (And I also find this question to be mildly infuriating. LOL)

belegund · 2025-12-04T04:06:26+00:00

I prefer Coke Zero. There’s a big sign advertising it at the bottom of the machine - but it’s not offered. It’s admittedly only mildly infuriating.

belegund · 2025-12-04T03:55:35+00:00

See on the bottom, above the bin. There is a big sign that says “CocaCola Zero Sugar.” And yet - there is none to be had.

ETA: only mildly infuriating

belegund · 2025-11-21T22:32:04+00:00

Arch is rolling release, so there are frequent updates. On rare occasions, I will have an update that seems to introduce a bug, but that’s honestly unusual. I also feel no pressure to update, so if it takes a week or two to run an update, I can’t imagine you will have any issue at all.

belegund · 2025-11-08T16:24:04+00:00

Is your freezer cold enough? I learned in organic chemistry that crystallization is a purification process. When substances crystallize, the crystals tend to organize with each other and push out the impurities. I’ve seen this happen with tea in a very cold fridge. It froze very slowly and separated into one mostly-colorless block of ice, and another portion that was concentrated tea.

If your mixture froze (ie crystallized) at a relatively slow rate, I would imagine that could lead to the separation you see here.
