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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
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. Not 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.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I rinse everything thoroughly before putting in in the dishwasher to avoid ever having to clean the filter. I check it a couple of times a year, just in case, and it seems to be working for me.
I think it's recommended to not pre-rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
That's my understanding as well, but I don't see a good reason not to, so I do it anyway.
If everything is working normally, that’s an unnecessary waste of water. Scrape the chunks into the trash and it it in the machine
This is the best case for rinsing I've ever heard. There are definitely two schools of thought. We have septic so I figure a light rinse helps keep solids out.
Our dishwasher connects to our sink drain. So I know the gunk goes to the same place.
Just, if I rinse off the worst of it, then it doesn't go down the drain only after first tangoing with every other dish in there.
