Helix is a modal text editor, but I haven't used it as much as I'd like because it lacks the plugins I use in Neovim.

Indeed, most people I know IRL still use the same passwords for everything.

The Lemmy community is here not on GitHub, and discussions on GitHub issues without a threaded, tree-like structure suck.

I think I copied pasted that in there from one of the github issues. I didn't mean to.

I had to toggle between show and hide read posts all the time for the same reason but I don't think having a read posts section would be any simpler than toggling the setting.

 

Hey everyone, I've got a chrome oven (Moulinex Optimo OX4848) with some seriously stubborn burnt-on food splatters that just won't budge. I've tried degreaser (KH-7) and scrubber sponge, steel sponge scrubber, and even a sanding block. The sanding block was working, but I heard it might damage the chrome plating, leading to rusting underneath.

The trickiest spots are on the top of the oven, and I'm wondering if it's safe to turn the oven over to let some steaming water loosen up those burnt spots. What would you all recommend as the best way to thoroughly clean those difficult burnt-on spots without damaging the chrome plating? I want to get it really clean without risking damage to the oven surface itself. Any specific products or techniques you have used that worked well for this?

I'm in Spain, so I'd appreciate recommendations for specific products that I can find in local supermarkets (all the products available in Spanish supermarkets are in soysuper.com).

 

Here are some of the best tips for teeth whitening:

  1. Use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The best electric toothbrushes for whitening are the Goby brush and the Oral-B 7000[1].
  2. Get a professional tooth whitening treatment. This involves the application of a high concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide onto the teeth[1].
  3. Use custom whitening gel trays. These trays are made and custom-fitted by your dentist based on unique impressions of your teeth[1].
  4. Apply whitening strips[1].
  5. Use baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth[5][7].
  6. Try oil pulling[1].
  7. Practice good oral hygiene[1].
  8. Regular dental checkups are essential[1].
  9. Prevent teeth stains caused by food[1].
  10. Quit smoking & tobacco use[1][3].
  11. Consider getting veneers for a more permanent solution[1].

As for UV light, it's not recommended for teeth whitening. Studies have shown that UV light does not provide long-term effects and may harm oral tissues, create a greater possibility for teeth sensitivity through dehydration, and put patients at risk of high levels of radiation to sensitive areas[2][4][6][8]. The use of UV light for teeth whitening can be four times more dangerous than sunbathing and can cause toothaches, mouth infections, stomach problems, and nerve damage[8].

In-office treatments that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide gel and UV light are considered safe and effective when performed by a professional, but at-home UV light kits are not recommended due to the potential for user error and damage[6][10].

Before starting any teeth-whitening process at home, it's recommended to talk with your dentist to see what they may recommend for your specific goals[7].

I'm curious if consuming sodium bicarbonate or Eno fruit salt could alleviate discomfort after eating a cheese pizza.

Edit: After reading some enlightening responses, I'm uncertain about the specific element causing my issues—whether it's the cheese, sauce, or bread. I can consume each component separately without any problems. However, when I eat pizza, I often experience sluggish digestion, especially if it's close to bedtime, leading to a burning sensation in the morning. I suspect it might be acid reflux triggered by a substantial meal. Perhaps a short walk after eating could help speed up digestion.

 

I'm sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven't hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it's a productivity tool that's boosted your efficiency, a unique game that's kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that's catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or interests.

What are some Android hidden gem apps that you've used a bunch or think it's really cool/interesting/useful?

Please share your recommendations, and if possible, a brief description of what the app does and why you find it so valuable.

Looking forward to uncovering some hidden treasures in the Android app world. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I have a set of 3 Bra Premiere non-stick frying pans that I've used for a while. The coating on them says "Teflon Innovations without PFOA". Recently I've noticed that on the most used pan, the 26cm one, the Teflon coating has started to peel off.

I know that Teflon coatings can release harmful fumes and chemicals if overheated, but what about if the coating is physically peeling? Is it still safe to cook with them? Or should I stop using especially the 26cm one? I don't want to keep exposing my family to anything dangerous unknowingly. Any advice if these types of pans are still safe to cook with if the nonstick surface is peeling would be appreciated!

 

I'm looking for an Android app that allows my household to easily share and edit a grocery/pantry list. It would be great if the app could:

  • Allow multiple people to view and edit grocery and pantry lists
  • Automatically add items to the grocery list when they drop below a set minimum quantity in the pantry list
  • Send notifications when the list is updated by someone
  • Allow users to add expiration dates for fridge/pantry items, and provide reminders when items are close to expiring

Some other useful features would be:

  • Barcode scanning to quickly add items
  • Categorization for where items are stored (pantry, fridge, freezer etc)

Does an app like this exist for Android? I haven't been able to find one that has all the functions I'm looking for. If you know of one, please let me know! Or if there are any that come close I'd love to check them out. Making grocery lists and keeping the kitchen stocked feels like a constant chore, so anything to make it smoother would be great.

Previously I used a Matrix group chat and currently I'm using Our Groceries Shopping List.

 

The best way to freeze and thaw bread dough for later use is as follows:

  1. Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and allow it to prove[1].
  2. Knock the dough back, shape it into rolls or a loaf, and freeze it on a lightly greased baking tray or loaf tin[1].
  3. Once frozen, remove the dough from the tin/tray, wrap it tightly in cling film or seal it in a freezer bag, and date the wrapped dough[1]. Consume the dough within 6 months[1].
  4. When you're ready to use the dough, remove the packaging, place it on an oiled baking tin/tray, and cover it with a damp tea towel[1].
  5. Allow the dough to thaw and rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size and is light and puffy[1].
  6. Be careful not to overprove the dough. Bake the bread according to your recipe instructions, but you may need to bake it slightly longer (by an additional 10-15 minutes)[1].

Remember to store the dough in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality when thawing and baking.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a way to save content from the websites I visit manually or automatically, and then perform full-text searches exclusively within the saved content. Additionally, it would be great if there's a feature for adding tags, flair, or labels to categorize the saved content by topic. Does anyone have any recommendations for tools or methods that can help me achieve this? I'd love to hear about any apps, browser extensions, or other solutions that could make organizing and searching through my saved web content more efficient. Thanks in advance for your help!

 

If you prefer having many tabs open and want to group or stack them, there are several browsers and extensions that can help you manage your tabs effectively.

For browsers, Vivaldi is highly recommended due to its integrated tab management features, such as lazy loading of tabs, hibernating background tabs, and tab stacking. It also allows you to save your open tabs in a session and tile tabs that you need side by side[1][3][9]. Opera is another browser that is known for its advanced inbuilt tabs management features, including a feature known as Opera One workspace, which can handle many tabs without any issues[3].

If you prefer to stick with Firefox, there are several extensions that can enhance your tab management experience:

  1. Workona: This extension is designed to help you organize your tabs and documents by project. It also auto-saves tabs so you won't lose your work. Workona also offers a tab suspender for Firefox, which allows you to auto-suspend tabs or pause them manually to reduce memory usage[2][7][9].

  2. Simple Tab Groups: This extension allows you to create, modify, and quickly change tab groups. It also supports multiple windows and integrates with Firefox Multi-Account Containers[6][8][10].

  3. Tab Session Manager: This extension allows you to save and restore the state of windows and tabs. It also supports automatic saving and cloud sync[4].

  4. Tab Center Redux: This extension features a vertical listing of your tabs on the left side of your browser window, allowing you to organize your work from there[2].

  5. OneTab: This extension 'bookmarks' tabs and saves them in an editable list, which can be useful for clearing tabs to have a fresh browser when working[6].

  6. Auto Tab Discard: This extension increases browser speed and reduces memory load when you have numerous open tabs[4].

Remember to choose the browser or extension that best suits your needs and preferences.
