how to clean a small needle cap so small that it fills with air when you put soap and water inside

the other day i made cream cheese stuffed chicken thighs in which i used a hypodermic needle to get the cheese inside because i dont have a food needle. i then had to find a way to get the cream cheese inside the needle and i believed the best way to get it inside was using the cap because my fingers wouldnt fit. well today was the day i decided would be best to clean the needle. i was able to clean the piston, and the detachable needle just fine but when it came to the cap i couldn't so easily. the cap is just bigger than my thumb and slimmer than my pinkie. ive used the spray option on the sink, i even went as far as to boil both the cap and the needle and coincidentally the cap stayed afloat maybe 6 cups of water. even boiling the cap didn't work. i was able to clean the needle after a bit of attempts but nothing would clean that damn cap. so now i have a tiny bit of cream cheese and basil mixture stuck inside of a small plastic object which will probably rot because moisture + enzymes + air + time = mold. i cannot take a picture of the needle cap because while i was trying to take a picture of it it ended up falling between my small white nightstand, and the boxspring is under a bed that was so heavy it had to be carried by 6-9 men when we first got it. the boxspring and the desk that i cannot move because it is placed against a wall where to its front there is a heavy mat with instruments and trash that i need to clean up have a less than 2cm margin between the two. ive spent the last hour looking for it, i even saw it slowly go between the bed and the desk, but when i went to go look in the exact spot that it fell, 🫰POOF! it was gone.

is this an actual khmer vowel?

i was looking for khmer to ipa references for vowels and i got some pages from wikipedia. wikipedia has two entries that i know of about khmer to ipa and this vowel is from the first one i found.

however i have watched countless youtube videos and been on countless websites regarding khmer vowels and i know that all languages have a phonotactics system. i do not recognize this vowel from any of the charts, or videos i watched. according to the page i pulled it from it makes the ɜw/ɨw sound (thats how its spelled using ipa)

khmer is a language with 19 million speakers (numbers from different sources vary) so it is nowhere near as popular as korean or japanese which means theres less resources.

is this a legal vowel combination in khmer? if so what are the rules when it comes to combining khmer vowels?

edit: sorry for the low image quality. i took this on my phone last night and then uploaded it to my computer to share here. the original text on the website is sizely small

question about khmer vowels

i have already mastered the alphabet (in consonants) and i have just moved onto dependent vowels. i know that the same vowel can sound different depending on which series its next to. for example the vowels ឿ and ួ both stay the same no matter which consonant they're placed in. according to reankhmer.org.

i was making Khmer flashcards the other day and i noticed that some vowels are untranscribeable without confusing them for other vowels or just sound identical. for example when ា is placed in a second series consonant is becomes ea (as in ikEA). but when ៀ is placed in a consonant it sounds just like ា, but with different stresses in pitch.

do some Khmer dependent vowels make the same sounds as other vowels depending on which consonant they're placed in?

how to read khmer

i know you may be scratching your head as to what i mean by this. ill explain

Khmer is an abugida. which means that the consonants have an inherent vowel sound and then you can cram vowels around that consonant to make a different vowel sound.

in Khmer specifically, excluding standalone letters, there are dependent vowels, sub consonants, and diacritics.

what order am i supposed to read these? my only other exposure to this type of system was korean where you read in order from the top left, to the bottom right left to right.

difference between ឋ and ថ

i just began learning khmer today (seriously. i knew... maybe 4 words in the entire language that i learned here and there just from being interested in the language itself before actually learning it) and apparently ឋ and ថ both make the aspirated "ta" sound, but they are both slightly different. i listened to a native speaker pronounce both of these letters and they both sound the exact same. i went onto lexilogos.com to grab these letters to type them and they describe the difference between the letters as tha and ṭha which doesnt help

does it surprise anyone, or make anyone a little sad that scorpion is 8 years old?

scorpion was the album that made me love drake and after i listened to all of its songs i would play them on repeat

now when i listen to mob ties i get a little sad. not because it was ever a sad song but because that was a song i used to love at a time i no longer live.

i consider anything past half a decade of age to be "old". scorpion is old in the sense that it was made so long ago in a time so long ago, not that its outdated.

i know that im a little late posting this as its anniversary was quite some months ago but do you miss scorpion? does it make you sad thinking about how your life is so different now?

question about the neutral tone in chinese

when i pronounce the neutral tone, my biggest worry is that it will be confused with another tone, and then suddenly im saying something else entirely. is the neutral tone a tone where i just say what i want to say, but in midpitch? not low but not high? is it short and quick?

book i read as a kid, can only remember the cover art

OPEN THE IMAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK because i suck at drawing and you may want to wash your eyes out with bleach, or youll just laugh

i dont remember if the gold borders were there. but they couldve been so i included them anyway. everything else about the book is what i remember seeing as a kid, just that it looked a lot more... realistic

as for the horse, it couldve been another animal, but a horse seems the most sense here.

busco para un amigo para jugar

mi lengua nativa es inglés. estaba buenísimo con la lengua, pero algo hacido a cuando no hablo la lengua como bueno. si dijo algo no correcto es porque mi español he hace peor. minecraft es mi videojuego favorito en el todo mundo, y me encantaría a alguien jugar conmigo otra vez. tengo un pedido: no inglés. solo español. necesito expandir mi vocabulario y habilidades y creo que esto es la sola manera mensajeme con su nombre de usuario de minecraft si quieres jugar por favor. pienso que tengo un servidor listo, pero probablemente tendré que verificar. si algo sale mal es la razon

ademas, si te gustaría usar charla de la voz, por favor ten discord listo. estoy bien con usando la charla del minecraft si no tienes discord. no siempre lista entonces no si en linea es la razon.

my mouse doesnt work when playing cuphead. is this normal

i havent played cuphead basically since it came out but i decided to get back into the game this time on pc and i cannot use my mouse. at all. my mouse works fine with literally every other game but when i go to play cuphead my mouse is nonexistent. this is especially a problem when using the lock feature. which is a feature that lets you move your aim while staying still and i assume you need your mouse for. i cannot look up and down at all when playing cuphead but i can with any other game. i think the controls are wack so when i went to change the keybinds i wanted to have shoot be left click but when i went to change it to left click the game didnt respond. again i can do this with any other game but not cuphead.

im questioning if i should continue learning indonesian

the main reason, is because indonesia has over 700 languages and about 300 million people. meaning if i meet someone, theres a chance that they wont understand me because im speaking indonesian, meanwhile they speak... javanese. or whatever else.

my biggest worry is that even if i try with my might to learn bahasa gaul (most information is in bahasa indonesia) then it would be useless because no one would understand me because everyone there speaks a warped version of their own language unique to them, or so im told.

my question: does bahasa gaul actually get me access to a decent amount of people
