Basically what’s been said. Lycopene is the pigment that is staining. It’s hydrophobic and is really good at bonding to plastics for reasons outside my understanding. Soap and abrasion will loosen it, but because it’s hydrophobic it has nowhere to go. The absorbent paper towel gives it something else to bond to.

This might change someone’s life: Instead of washing your spaghetti stained plastic container with a sponge or throwing it in the dishwasher, fill the container to maybe 30% full with hot tap water, add a couple pumps of dish soap, chuck in a paper towel, close the top, and shake. It’s honestly astonishing how effective that is.

It’s been over a decade but I swear I thought I felt one coming on when I read your comment.

Since 2015 when it was first posted.

My lamp better start looking strange soon, because I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

The New York statue, in Union Square was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it “stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”.

Well? Does u/Agent641 get the computer?

You mean “they,” right?

Thanks so much for the informative and detailed reply. That pretty much answers every question.

Thanks also for the tip about LMDE. I actually really like Mint, I’m only switching because it’s the only distro I’ve tried and I feel like I should shop around a bit. Going to Debian because while starting my journey I want to shop around with things that work, rather than having to learn how to tinker all at once just to get things running. But if I decide I need Mint back I’ll probably check out LMDE for the hell of it.

Can you expand on this a little for a new guy who is considering a switch from Mint to Debian?

In my understanding Firefox ESR is like a stable, longstanding version that doesn’t get frequent little updates but still gets occasional large updates. (Like 1.0, 1.1, etc. rather than 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc.)

Is there a measurable difference in the user experience and or security of ESR?

And is Debian actually restricted to ESR?

What’s going on with your capitalization? I spent way too much time looking for hidden messages and came away with nothing except the - entirely unrelated - hypothesis that you are German.

It wasn’t actually Hemingway. Versions of the story can be found from 1906 when Hemingway was 7, and there is apparently no mention of a connection between him and the story before the 1990s.

Aren’t we all?

What the heck is the origin of this meme template? And am I the only one who thought this was Roger Stone?
