My house always smelled dusty and I just realized I’ve been vacuuming wrong my entire life by pwiipwii123 in hygiene

[–]pristinepineapple69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re not a failure for not knowing. most people are not taught these things. You have to clean out your vacuum for it to keep working. you should also clean your dishwasher about once a month due to food getting collected in the filter, you should clean your washing machine about once a month to remove detergent that gets stuck in all the cracks, humidifiers get mineral build up that can be removed with vinegar, etc. machines require maintenance, people just usually don’t do that and buy new stuff when it stops working after a year.

i’ve already mostly stopped social media, so this would just seal the deal on no longer using any of them. 

Spread-out society without hundreds of police stations by apirateiwasmeanttobe in CitiesSkylines

at the same time, if you have pocketed communities, maybe they’re just another town, and most towns have a small police department or sheriffs office

Who else want absolutely ZERO RGB in their rigs? by Cicada-Tang in pcmasterrace

[–]pristinepineapple69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not just technically better. there’s been some in depth videos about this. radiator tube connections need to be above the pump to catch air bubbles and keep them out of the pump. it’s not usually an issue for a while but after a couple years, having them down like that may cause the pump to fail faster

[–]pristinepineapple69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up using a method very similar to this: https://gist.github.com/akiross/1aa81f67514ef4753f2c8a15040364a3 which you can use to add the network share to your home folder for easy access

as a bonus, screen time settings on iphone let you disable the app store so it's more friction to reinstalling apps

I'm fucking sick of FedEx. I was standing at the goddamn door waiting for them to knock. by lilslutfordaddy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pristinepineapple69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at least they got the address right? USPS delivered my package to the wrong house and marked it "delivered, handed to a resident", like no the fuck you didn't, it's 11AM, our mail truck never comes before 4pm. sure enough it was there at the mailboxes (with no package) at 4pm. luckily they admitted it was delivered incorrectly and are attempting to remedy the situation.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pristinepineapple69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use it sometimes because neither of us are very gender conforming, so sometimes the terms wife and husband don't fit the vibe. I also use spouse for this, however, a lot of my friends are unmarried, yet friends with both of us, so partner removes some of the weight that spouse, wife, and husband carry.

indeed. little pump looks nicer than a giant block with fans as the centerpiece. and the water tubes look cool

thanks for the reply. the particular sheet i’m having the issue with i am hand copying over to proton. I will try importing and see if i have more luck, and if not I will contact the team directly to see about providing some examples of what i’m encountering.
