Back in my day, rule #1 would be “when in doubt, engrave elbereth.” I heard they nerfed it in some recent version, though.

Isn’t that what the drying rack is for

I did some research on this the other day because I was curious. Apparently it’s better to leave the doors open if you have a central-air heating system, but closed otherwise (e.g. baseboard heating).
