      I used to have one of these where the lid could latch on. So you could just tip the whole thing upside down, didn’t even need to worry about the lid coming off. 10/10 peak convenience

        This is like how the Costco cling wrap has a nifty little zipper to cut the wrap with, and it’s clearly the better solution, but the rest of the market hasn’t adapted.

    I usually just tip the pot over until the water drains out and use the angle plus a large slotted spoon (same one that stirs/de-clumps while boiling) to keep the pasta from escaping. Might get a runner or two but it mostly works. Swish it around, drain again quickly, back to the off-but-still-hot stove to cook off a little and anything remaining gets mixed into the sauce. Doesn’t leave enough to water it down to any appreciable degree and it’s not adding to the stuff you’ll need to wash later.

    I’ve done this more times than I care to admit, and for the same reason.

    May I just say that your sunk is in exceptional condition.

    For a stainless steel sink to have no scratches or blemishes is quite impressive.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men’s Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
