To be fair, I’d be addicted to fixing cataracts, but only twice. 😆

Did you forget to use detergent?

If your glassware smells, something’s wrong, as detergent uses water softening agents, enzymes, and rinse agents. Dishwashers do need to be regularly cleaned, and I’ve never met anyone who does so.

There’s also the question of the dry cycle, which is crucial if you live in a high humidity environment. Otherwise things will get musty, like leaving clothes in a washing machine.

Restaurants use dishwashers (though generally not the same type as home units, but small shops have similar commercial units with fast cycles) - have you experienced this there?

Edit: For some reason the “default” way to store glassware in cupboards is upside down. I’ve always found this causes things to smell musty with the trapped air. Even worse in cabinets with no covering on the wood - that’s just nasty. Or with old shelf paper that never gets cleaned, so there’s all sorts of grubbiness making smells.

Even in dry climates I’ve found upside down causes funk.

Welcome to the 90’s,when this was a thing.

You can do this, but why not just mount the drive inside the case? Usually there’s plenty of connections, with space being the concern. I’ve mounted drives with a single screw to places they clearly don’t belong.

By the time you fill one drive most likely the next gen of drives will be out with a lower cost per TB anyway and you could just move all to that.

To me, the cost of stuff like syrup works as a great example of how much we shouldn’t be eating it.

It costs so much because it’s very time consuming, labor intensive, and it’s reduced from the source liquid about 80%.

I go through about 16oz of syrup in 1 to 2 years. It’s a sugar (a very simple carb), that’s plenty for the average person.

Even worse is what it’s typically used for - high carbohydrate foods, like pancakes, waffles, and desserts. Again, stuff we really shouldn’t be eating all that much of.

It’s sort of naturally limiting by the effort involved in getting it. So I don’t mind paying for the real thing.

Just get a new screen kit online. For most phones, they’re fairly reasonably priced. (But not Pixel, not even a 5 from 2020).

After heating it with a lighter. 😆

Exactly.

Honesty and transparency go a long way. If we know what’s going on, we can choose to help if we have time (say it’s for a portfolio).

I now put dates on everything (sharpie or paint pen) in an inconspicuous place so I know how long I’ve had something.

Do the same with containers - get a date when I open it to use something. If I come across a container (say USB cables) that hasn’t been opened in 2 years, maybe I don’t need that stuff.

These days I try to do both, but recognize it’s an on-going thing that will never be done.

Sometimes folder structure can be a challenge because of extensive metadata. Where do parts of a compilation go, for example. At least with metadata, music players can show the tracks correctly.

Plus if they’re links, how many still work?

You understand the value of risk management.

No kidding? I don’t recall that.

First I read was in Windows NT mag about 1999,they had a working prototype, but without a touch screen.

Of course it wasn’t called Android, yet.

Android existed before Google acquired it. So there’s an interesting wrinkle there.

But, PalmOS existed before Android and iOS. And Blackberry. Sailfish may have also, I just don’t recall.

Sorry, I can’t reply, as I have a dumb phone and don’t have access to social media. 😆
