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

https://dullmensclub.com/

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:

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.

Why did they make it a clear tank? Thats designed to breed mold. Wow.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Mold doesn't need light (quite the opposite: UV exposition might even inhibit mold).
But a clear tank helps determining if it is clean. And also if it is empty.

BTW: OP almost certainly did not have mold, but algae.
Had that myself once, coffee maker is placed right at a window...

Yes sorry, I did mean algae. All the coffee makers I think of have a black plastic tank. Some have a little window to see the water level.

Better than opaque where the average person who doesn't pay attention to anything would never see it.

My bigger complaint is the weird shape that's hard to clean with either a dishwasher or by hand.

My machine has a simple rectangular one where the end is open - easy to wash by hand or in dishwasher.
