Don't do that; modern dishwashers already do an amazing job of that, so you'd just be wasting water and effort, which defeats the whole point of dishwashers in the first place.

If anything, just scrape any solids into the trash with a utensil before loading your dishes into the dishwasher.

The QAZ keys on the right is a joke. This keyboard layout is called a QAZ/35% layout, where the Q, A, and Z keys are gone. The Esc, Tab, and Shift keys on the left side default to typing Q, A, and Z respectively, with further keys hidden behind chords and layers.

I believe OP is making this keyboard as a response to someone's reaction to the QAZ board, right here on Lemmy.

To answer your question, many people prefer smaller keyboards mainly because 1. they're gamers and want more space for their mouse, and 2. smaller keyboards minimize hand movements and therefore are more ergonomic.

i recall following a sub called r/AchillesAndHisPal; if the other person is really trying to gatekeep homosexual lingo for lesbians only, i suppose you can use this instead.

it really is up to how you want to frame the photo and convey the scene. it's an artistic choice, really.

basically, does it look good when tilted? yes? tilt it! line that horizon up with the corners! make a dutch angle, create tension! fix the leaning tower of pisa! the world is your oyster; tilt that too!

hey, in this world of digital, you can always take multiple pictures at different levels of tilt, and even rotate and crop the image in an image editor afterwards.

don't stay stuck in not adding tilt; try things out, experiment, find what you like. if it turns out you prefer the order and beauty in a simple and level photo? more power to you!

It's happening right now with ESO's 10th Anniversary celebrations.

It kicked off with an in-game Anniversary Jubilee event that started two weeks ago, and almost immediately players noticed the insanely low drop rates for some event items, taking players on average about 20 hours of mind-numbing grind of the same old content for certain pages, and some even longer.

The kicker with these low drop rates is that it's unprecedented for ESO in its current form after having implemented plenty of progression systems for loot to lessen the impact of RNG.

Even now, at the end of the event, Zenimax Online Studios has refused to acknowledge the low drop rates, which only means that the player frustrations are intentional, most likely to pad player numbers for the sake of appeasing shareholders and/or daddy Zenimax Inc.

One week after the event was launched, ZOS also released a Public Test Server build of their latest chapter, Gold Road. This iteration of the PTS is supposed to have a copy of everyone's PCNA characters so they can use their existing gear and setups for testing the new abilities and content. Template characters were also available to create, offering players a ton of gold, unlimited resources, and literally all the gear in the game; Public Test Server, after all.

About 30 minutes after the PTS went online, it was taken down, and so players who were on the PTS at the time went back onto their Live servers.

Turns out, the PTS wasn't running a copy of the PCNA Live database.

It was using the PCNA Live database.

So now we have players who have deleted existing characters to create template characters on the PTS with a billion gold and trillions more value in loot running around on Live. The gold has been dispersed into the in-game economy.

The Live servers were taken down 20 minutes later.

There's nothing else to be done; a server-wide rollback is imminent. After all, it would be dumb to just quarantine the players who have logged into the PTS and attempt to manually track down all the rogue gold and loot, right?

Right?

Well, ZOS is up to the challenge! First, they issue permanent bans on all the players who logged into the PTS (you know, the most loyal and experienced of the players) with an email stating that it's temporary, that their accounts would be rolled back to about 9 hours before the servers went down (I assume that's when their last backup was), and we could expect this issue to be resolved and for our accounts to be unlocked in 2-3 days.

Keep in mind, an event is active right now. There are reward boxes for completing any quest with high chances of dropping motif pages, crafting recipes, materials, currencies, etc, and most players are doing the 7 daily crafting quests for those on each character (max 20 characters).

The locked-out players are missing out on about 140 of those boxes per day.

3 days went by, there was another update. We'd be freed soonest at the end of the week. That makes 5 days of lockout. We'd be compensated, of course; they'd make things right.

5 boxes. Is all we get.

Okay, we also get a lot in another currency that lets us buy certain items in their microtransaction loot crates, and naturally the non-locked-out players are pissed about that.

Remember the event items with insanely low drop rates? We get all of those too. Would be useful to me if I hadn't sunk 33 hours grinding those all out already.

With the event, there's another currency that you can earn once daily, and you can use it to buy certain items from the event store. We're not getting compensated any of those, though, even though those matter a lot for the sake of the event.

End of the week comes by. New update: there's a maintenance right after the weekend, and they would discuss when best to take the server down after that.

We are guaranteed at least 8 days of missed game time. The event is almost over.

That server maintenance is happening right now. I will update on what they say next.

Update: they said earliest we'd be unlocked is Thursday. They'd also grant us one of the rewards we'd miss from the daily logins.

Simple mathematics. We all share a finite pie; infinite growth cannot happen because it means that people want perpetually larger and larger slices of the same pie; there's no such thing as "infinite progressivism" because once everyone has an equal slice, it ends.

This is why I love Blueprints; it forces you to keep your code neat and tidy and readable and documented lest it turns into an absolute mess. It's also so much fun to prototype in because it's like modular synths and you can just make an absolute mess if you want.

mein freund, some of us prefer to focus on extracting the most material value out of these hypothetical objects, simply because we want to. it's fun to imagine the possibilities with the infinite energy from the candle and the mug.

Unfortunately (for you), Lemmy's meme supply is being carried by the nerds on startrek.website. If you wish to see more non-Trekkie stuff, well, be the change you wish to see

This would be perfectly fine with ranked choice voting.

Unfortunately, the US doesn't have that so that's the same as an empty vote. You get to take the "moral high ground" while still actively voting to let the country go to the dumps. Great job.
