If I did a load of laundry with OxiClean, and then followed that up with a load using bleach, am I going to create a toxic gas? Asking for a friend.

1 Like

possibly?

but i think that two loads of laundry shouldn’t have that much interaction. you could run like, an empty load between if you were concerned i bet

I saw this SEO site, too, but I think the risks it brings up aren’t actually about mixing oxygen bleach with chlorine bleach. They’re talking about mixing bleach with acid or ammonia.

far from conclusive, but here another seo person working for the chlorox corporation actively recommends combining bleach and hydrogen peroxide. i don’t even know if oxyclean actually breaks down into hydrogen peroxide though

No, you’re fine. The sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide in oxyclean are quite reactive (that’s why they’re cleaners after all) and it’s very unlikely much remained after the first wash cycle, and then your clothes/the wash tub went through a rinse cycle that would have removed any traces remaining. If any did remain there’s no nitrogen in it that would get converted into meaningful amounts of chloramines.

Is the first run of the PS5 unusually faulty?

The price of a used 10001 or whatever is 40,000 yen and a 10002 is 45,000.

Same harddrive size. Same controller.

Assuming you mean this difference:

The second run is 300 grams lighter and the stand is easier to attach. Not clear there’s any other noticeable difference. I haven’t heard anything about reliability problems in any generation.

Is the PS5 in general as loud as the PS4 Pro was? Or is it overall quieter?

1 Like

The PS5 is much, much quieter than any PS4 I’ve ever been around. I’ve never been able to hear it over a game.

The Pro was crazy loud. The PS5 is less bothersome than the PS4 or the Pro in basically all capacities.

The fan is silent but, and I don’t know if this has been fixed in newer revisions, many early PS5s could have fairly audible coil whine. Mine does but it’s at such a tenor that it’s perceptibility is highly dependent on the room I’m in. If it’s quite, I’m going to hear the whine kick up and down just by making my character look around at different parts of the environment. But at my current apartment I can’t hear it over the general hum of my household appliances and A/C.

the recent game tip ive been on is alternating between mascot platformers and blobberstyle dungeon crawlers. In that spirit, whats the skinny on the Might and Magic games? i have a long standing love of Heroes 2 & 3 but ive never touched the main series. is there a good entry point/representative entry to play if i just wanna skim the series? are any of the console ports dece?

and i guess separate question to touch on the mascot platformers: does either Sparkster game hold a candle to Rocket Knight Adventures? is there a consensus on which ones better? ill probably just play both but im curious & enjoy reading yalls opinions in such matters

Discord kicked me out and upon attempting to restart it just sits on the checking for updates prompt forever. The service seems to be running fine for everyone else and my internet otherwise works fine. I restarted my router and my PC. What the hell do I do now.

probably uninstall and reinstall. if still not working, i’d try on another device, preferably on another network as well, i.e. your phone on LTE. if that’s also not working, maybe your ass got banned??

SNES Sparkster is something I really need to get around to again while the MD sequel is a lot less straight ahead as a platformer from the get-go, and much more cumbersome for it

The answer:
