  • ~~It’s kinda corrosive I think, which can remove things that clog the sink. However, professionals have complained about this to me. I think they said, that if it doesn’t flush through, that after the reaction it will just add to stuff clogging your pipes. ~~ Others in this thread seem to have more solid info about this reaction.

    Especially if the pipes are too thin, they can clog easier. If it’s a lot of fat that’s clogging it, slowly pouring hot water was recommended to us, because of course fat dissolves with heat.

    At some point though we tried so many things, the buildup was just too much. These barbed twisty metal tube thingies weren’t long enough to reach the end of the pipe where all the build up happened.

    Then we learned about a machine that’s basically just like these barbed twisty things, but with motor-powered rotation and extension/retraction. Also super long and some have a camera.

    They are quite costly and we got a professional to bring and do it for us. But I was thinking, what a great way to make money! With that you should be able to clear pretty much any clogged sink.

    There are some professionals who upload their work on youtube too :)

    Also related, there are machines that work by suction to clear the sink. But unlike these motor-powered rotation things, they can fuck the plumbing, since it can be a lot of force.





  • Digital just adds more layers of abstraction before it reaches you and your message goes out to wherever. And there’s more signal stuff around it.

    I can see my notepad. I can move it around, I could put paint on my fingers and touch it to draw something.

    On a computer, I hit keys and they send a signal through the machine with a bunch of stuff going on before it appears on the screen. The computer might have some issues and then, even if I hit the keys nothing happens or something unexpected. And when I break the screen it’s not on the screen anymore, but somehow still there and went god knows where on the way.

    The notepad is a lot simpler.


  • Hot damn, spicy!

    I don’t recommend you play DotA. You can be kept hostage for over two hours there by griefers! Though I think it’s a lot less hardcore now the way it’s balanced, and there’s behavior score.

    It’s a hard thing to balance game ruining behavior in public games, especially when there is ranking/ELO.

    I had over 10k hours in DotA. But pubs just became psychological torture at some point. A pro actually said, the way he reaches the top in the public ladder is to be psychologically on top of your game. And basically babysitting the psyche of your entire team, as they are similar rank to you skill wise, but might lose their shit after one mistake, or whatever, which happens on both teams.

    My conclusion was that these games are great, but best enjoyed with pre-set teams or private leagues.

    Rocket league was kinda leisure for me, as the games are so short. Also lots of fun to just practice flip resets, air dribbles, and so on in the freeplay training mode. But it’s still frustrating and mundane, when you’re forced into a certain playstyle in order to win no matter how your teammates play, rather than playing off of each other more.



  • Hey!

    If you like retro games, there’s Batocera.linux for example. It comes with a lot of games out of the box, but you can add more ROMs of course. It’s just a bit of a process to get all the artwork for them to make things look nice and all.

    Batocera.linux is an open-source and completely free retro-gaming distribution that can be copied to a USB stick or an SD card with the aim of turning any computer/nano computer into a gaming console during a game or permanently. Batocera.linux does not require any modification on your computer. Note that you must own the games you play in order to comply with the law.

    I also find Wrath Of The Gods quite fun.
