Yes that is what I do. I treat them like any other dish I use for eating. The side that touches the food gets scrubbed (also the other side im not gross). And every time I bought metal straws they came with a brush.
I also just love the feeling of metal straws when drinking cold drinks because they also get cold. The drink just feels colder if the straw is also cold
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 week ago:
Yeah the price for rent should be the amortized cost of upkeep/renovation + some salary to the landlord that is reasonable for the actually work done (which is usually very little).
It should never be enough to pay back a loan the landlord took out to buy the property in the first place.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I also noticed how every post just has 5-10 random down votes. Like perfectly fine post in the correct community, not controversial, no rules broken, -10 down votes.
- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 2 weeks ago:
Every game with a billion Dollar budget like battlefield will have a turd like EA attached.
If you want to be morally superior and boycott them you will have to make some drawbacks in production quality. No game by an Indie or AA studio can be “almost exactly like battlefield”.
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 3 weeks ago:

Are you like 200 years old?

All big companies have walked over corpses. But not many have taken control of and enslaved countries like Chiquita.
They are advanced level evil dickheads.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 5 weeks ago:
Seems i have to be the autist in this thread and complain about that map. How is that a fair split if D contains 50% of the human population while A has barely 200mil.
Why is it centered on Italy? Why so far north? Any slice going north just touches 2-4 countries while the ones going south can have 30?
I guest there isnt a place to put the center that would weight all sectors equally but cmon this is just lazy
- Comment on Meta chief technology officer(CTO) explains why the smart glasses demo failed at Meta Connect — and it wasn’t the Wi-Fi 5 weeks ago:
Yeah and after your phones Bluetooth was recorded multiple times at your home, it can be linked to you. And when it is recorded somewhere else they can create a movement profile of you. This only works if they have a lot of data collectors at many different places. Like people walking around with their glases for example.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 5 weeks ago:
No. Because if enough people buy the shit product, it will become the only product available. And then you can choose between an ad-fridge or no fridge at all.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t a child acting sexually often a sign they were sexually abused? Maybe the problem isn’t gen alpha watching porn, but either more sexual abuse by their parents, or simply more awareness. Sometimes a problem appears new/rising when it was always there, just invisible.
- Comment on Know your place 1 month ago:
Dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris
There should also be one (Ceres) in Jupiters shadow, right of the planet the arrow is pointing to. Which is Mars and not earth btw …
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 month ago:
The price to buy housing is influenced by how many people want to buy. People who want to live there are competing with landlords who want to rent out the housing. So it drives up the buying price.
A landlord buying for a higher price will likely try to charge a higher rent as to recoup the investment.
More potential landlords means higher rent prices. Every single landlord is increasing the problem.

Damn people have free will and choose to ruin their children’s lives like that
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 months ago:
Is it realy so incomprehensible to see how useful it is? I feel like most people in this threat just close their eyes and scream. Yes you can call, yes you can find a different solution to every problem. But it is still fucking convenient to just know where somebody is without you having to ask them having to actively respond.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 months ago:
I think most do. Everybody here only looks at the “controlling, jealous partner” and never at the actually “loving, healthy, concerned partner”.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 months ago:
There’s no upside
- Know when they come home or if they are stuck in traffic
- "oh you are still in the store can you get me …"
- security if they get kidnapped
It is insanely useful to know where your partner is. It is not necessary. It is still useful. I would not allow my partner 24/7 location information. It is still useful. I don’t trust any app/manufacturer that allows such a feature. It is still useful.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 3 months ago:
Yeah I feel like this runs into the typical problem: you need so much rubber that the weight of the band itself is much much much higher than that of the rocket. So you need to add more rubber band for the rubber band, for which you need to add more rubber band again…
The same as why you can’t build infinitely high buildings. The materials are just to heavy compared to their strength
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 months ago:
You can’t lose stuff you bought just because the publisher shut down the servers.
I mean that’s exactly how it works right now. And depending on the exact wording of any laws passed as a result of this petition only the game itself or some or all micro transactions will have to be made available after official support ends.
Public servers will either sell micro transactions themselves to finance servers or make all in game content available to everyone for free. I can see publishers having a problem with that.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 3 months ago:
Most likely, if they are forced to allow public servers after they shut down the official ones, they will pull some other bullshit. Like claim the game is still available, but the 300$ cosmetics you bought are not allowed on public servers because they are separate from the game.

Well if you operate a death machine it would be realy nice if you could follow the rules and not kill somebody. Of course the rules should be reasonable but being unable to follow them means you should not be operating a death machine
- Comment on How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers 3 months ago:
You most likely pay for a maximum CPU capacity and your Server cant go above that no matter what you run. Your vps provider doesn’t care what that CPU power is used for.
However with limited resources, the tarpit might use up all CPU power and the rest of the webserver will crawl to a halt.

- Comment on I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one. 4 months ago:
Yeah when they made witcher 1 they didnt think it would be part of a series and realy didnt see it as a canon addition to the books story.
It makes the most sense to view the story on its own without the existence of Ciri.
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 5 months ago:
wg-quick creates a systemd service for each wireguard config you have. So if you set up a tunel called wg0, you should be able to run ‘sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0’ This will make your tunnel connect on every boot. I have the same setup on my proxmox, so i can reach certain services of my homelab proxied through a root server (the other end of the wireguard tunnel)

I am not sure drawing a comparison between your unemployment and the reign of the Nazis is the best move
- Comment on If you're a broke vampire, just say that 5 months ago:
Its also probably fairly easy to become an aristocrat if you are immortal. You start as a mercenary to earn money, then you win a decisive battle for your lord and he gives you a noble title and lands.
- Comment on Jellyfin on rootles docker access to encrypted drive 5 months ago:
Decryption is not related to root permission.
If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.
If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.
Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.
