Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it. A properly sealed bokashi bucket shouldn't smell at all, while rotting food waste in a plastic bag is basically a rat welcome mat.

I had 27 logins with basically the same core password before I switched to a manager. The idea of making a truly unique one for every single site just isn't realistic for most people. I got locked out of my own email for two days once trying to be perfect about it. A strong base password with smart variations feels like the only sane middle ground.

Yeah, I had the same problem with hockey pucks for bread. Bought a cheap digital thermometer and it made all the difference. Getting that temp right is the secret.
