For turmeric lattes, chocolate sounds good. Then add a few grams of black pepper- for effect as well as flavor!

It is easier to swallow the pepper dry first though. and chase it with the latte. Soaking pepper in a water based liquid makes it taste stronger, when eating a gram or more of pepper.

If it is possible to address the whole group, and apologise if you disrupted things, but get a feel for the players' and dm's responses, it should be helpful towards understanding their responses, if you plan to play together in the future.

Good communication can really help a game! Some people take things harder than others. In this case, discussing or negotiating an outcome was likely not possible. If you start a discussion though, you will have a better idea of how each person will take things like that moving forward!

In the cabinet itself, damprid as a dessicant to reduce moisture.
There are composting bins or buckets which seal shut, including types with an added nitrobacteria pack, to greatly enhance the rate of decomposition. This practice is popular in japan. example- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokashi_

Short of these fancy methods, a bucket with a lid to hold scraps, which is emptied regularly, perhaps a few times a week would help a lot.

Activated charcoal or carbon could also be helpful, but... I do not know how it would be arranged, engineering-wise.

If mold has grown someplace, the spores are likely alive even on porous surfaces. Plastic can be cleaned with dish soap, which unfortunately leaves a residue. Porous surfaces cleaned with diish soap ued for plants or organic matter for plants can be left in the sun for a few days, which should remove the residue.

It is possible that spores could continue to exist in the wood of a damp closed cabinet space.
For this, I would recommend removing everything from the drawer. Spray all plastic containers outside with 91% isypropyl alcohol or ethanol/everclear. Spray the wood inside the cabinet from all angles with the same. Allow it to dry and vent open to air for a few hours, so the alcohol can evaporate.

I can not promise that this will remove all mold spores, but you will be in a better position to prevent mold regrowth than before!

Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...

Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.

Goblins need spare computers everywhere!

#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?

Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?

*edit @generationX mentioned a hashtag, #computertruhe (which is a group or the german equivalent to this paying it forward of computers or related parts, and is active on mastodon!) This may translate to #computerchest and is the best lead on a relevant hashtag for this purpose so far!

#retux (for games?)
possibly #upcycling

Unique for this purpose suggested:
#takemytech (at least 2 votes!)
#sparePChere
#pc2hand

by area:
@PCsfueralle for Austria, like computertruhe for DE

#LinuxInstallParty may be relevant! DE I think!

#FreeGeek for #Portland and maybe #Minneapolis !

#Debian 12 Bookworm made installation and GUI much easier than previous versions, including nonfree repositories for proprietary driver support! Debian 13 Trixie (stable) drops later this year. It is upstream and all about open source, as a Linux option.

this article reads-

Microsoft's Emergency Alert: 240M Windows Users Should Stop Using Their PCs.
Microsoft is preparing millions of PC owners for the unprecedented device cliff edge that hits on October 14, when support for Windows 10 ends.

According to Windows Latest, the company is advising users to discontinue the use of certain devices and to “recycle Windows 10 PCs” that are unable to upgrade to Windows 11.

Sometimes with plants that transplant poorly, if you are willing to sacrifice a chunk of your lawn, you can shovel a fair distance to all sides, and under, the plant.

Do not disturb the roots, leave it in its original soil, and put the whole chunk in a container.

It is sort of overkill. Just in case, move out of any direct sunlight for the first few days, to be sure it does not wither.

Once it is in a container and successfully transplanted, you can figure out how to patch up your lawn afterwards, and look in to the next size of container and substrate you would like it to grow in to!

Beautiful leaves!
Good luck!
