Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[Laundry question] Anyone with hard water get waxy patches on their clean shirts?
2·17 days agoI listened to a podcast recently where they were trying to figure out a similarly difficult to remove stain someone was getting in the armpits of some of their t-shirts, but never on their sweaty gym clothes.
spoiler
It turns out that stress-sweat is different from exercise-sweat, and he was getting worked up during his video game sessions. I think the solution was along the lines of: “don’t wear your nice shirts when you engage in predictably stressful activities.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any RPGs that take into account when you reload a save? Or that break the 4th wall like this?
4·28 days agoIt’s been a while since I’ve played, so I’m not 💯, but I think Bastion does this when you die and reload. The story is told through 3rd person audio narration as you play. I think it slips in “the boy gets up, brushes the dust off his boots, and tries again” or other such lines.

3·2 months agoRight! Just do what’s what you need to do for the EU, and when he throws a hissy fit, hand him a gold bauble while telling him that he’s really great and that what you did was for him and it was what he really what he wanted all along. He’s our most gaslightable president ever. If the Saudis and Putin can do it, why can’t y’all?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Leaving food on the counter - the absolute survey
12·3 months agoUS. Omnivore.
The food safety recommendations and regulations for commercial Kitchens are there for a reason. That being said, a home setting is very different than a commercial setting.
-
The potential for impact is much greater in a commercial environment due to the volume of food and customers served.
-
Believe it or not, a home setting is more controlled than a commercial setting: There are (generally) fewer food handlers, service personnel and “customers” touching or breathing on the food/dishes/equipment. And whether any of those individuals pose a disease vector risk is fairly well understood within the household, which can be mitigated on a more granular level. Because you are only serving one table instead of many at different stages of readiness, there is smaller variety of foods in preparation at once, fewer steps in the prep process happening simultaneously, and dirty dishes are only handled after the food has been prepared and eaten, reducing the risk of cross contamination. There are so many vectors for contamination in a commercial setting that the controls are in place to stop little issues from turning in big problems.
All this is to say that I am generally okay leaving finished foods out on my counter for extended periods of time if it has been freshly and properly prepared, or I plan on finishing or pitching it that day.
However, your examples baffle me. Leaving pasta out all day just seams like an unpleasant eating experience, indifferent of the health implications. Soup and lasagna? I can’t imagine wanting either of those early enough in the morning to prepare them so that I could leave them out “all day”. If I’m grabbing leftovers from the fridge, I wouldn’t leave it out. It’s already got a container and a space on the shelf; I just put the rest back where it came from after I take my serving. Sitting on the counter isn’t going to improve it.
Vegetables of course live their entire pre-picked lives without refrigeration and are generally fine on the counter when fresh. I would refrigerate prepared fresh vegetables if I knew I wasn’t going to finish them or they were particularly moist, like cut tomatoes or a dressed salad, or known to turn quickly like avacado.
