Just prepare the sauce before you cook the pasta, that way you’re sure.
It’s better to cook the pasta together with the sauce for a minute or two.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 1 day ago:
Just add an appropriate amount of water to you pot.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 1 day ago:
Use plenty water. If they stick together with the advised amount, use more water. Doing that won’t change the taste.
Regarding the boiling of water, it is not required. I believe pasta needs about 80°C to cook. If you have enough water and cover the pot with a lid you can turn off the fire and it will cook.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 1 day ago:
You have at most 15 seconds to thoroughly mix your pasta with the sauce.
Nobody in their right mind would ever let pasta sit without sauce.
Once I had to watch while some people strained the pasta, let it there and then started chatting about something else. They were wondering about why I was going crazy and then they complained the pasta stuck together…
Please, don’t let your pasta sit unattended. Also, Barilla is not a particularly good brand of pasta.

So much unpublished work. They should have published it and retracted it the following day, just to prove they did the work.

Greater than the cumulative speed achieved by 20,000 horses fed with 3 canisters of barley.

I have seen that, but did not understand how to sign up.

Yes, much better than the alternative system. Look, I found a cool article about a topic. Let’s open it on the publisher website. Oh I need access for this, let’s login. After login I still have no access and get redirected to institutional login. Get back to publisher, now I have institutional credentials, but need to login again. Finally done!
Your institution does not have access to this paper.

I don’t want to be guy who needs to read the NMR spectra of this stuff.

This is talking about scientific papers. Stripping JavaScript does not work, you need authenticated and paid access to read those.
- Comment on Walls within walls 3 weeks ago:
I know people who get 12,000€ for a year long research project which includes employing other part time people. I doubt they can pay for open access.
However, the submitted version is yours to do whatever you want; please host it on your website or wherever it may be simple for you.
- Comment on Walls within walls 3 weeks ago:
Happens often to me. I know nobody in research who would care about it. Most people will likely congratulate you for not paying for access. Nobody likes the way journals do business.
Fuck you Elsevier.

Papers in Anna’s archive are mostly from sci-hub. There’s something not available on sci-hub, but not much.
Real problem is that sci-hub was the organization doing the archival on large scale and it is now dead.
- Comment on Walls within walls 3 weeks ago:
I like to keep the submitted version after review but without editing on my public repositories. Even when I publish open access.
- Comment on Walls within walls 3 weeks ago:
I’d rather use sci-hub than institutional access when the article is available. Fuck publishers.
Really hope someone comes up, recognizes how much public research money is wasted on this bullshit and sets up a public publisher directly funded by research funds which allows people to publish and read freely.

Did they have dedicated cat food before WWII? until recently I was convinced people were just giving their dogs and cats their scraps. With cats possibly not even giving them the scraps and just letting them go hunt.

Sorry, this is not about you; just a reflection. I’ve been in the US a couple times and I got my positive and negative impressions. The more I learn about life in the US, the less it feels like a desirable country to live in. Not talking about the current political situation, just how life works and quality of life.

Sorry you live in a place where tap water is not good. Wherever I lived, except china and India, tap water was always better than bottled water.

One sip of water. 3/4 liters of beer, sorry one more glass of water would cover my daily consumption for the next 3 days and I don’t want to spoil that.

Don’t know about you, but buffet is a terrible way of eating.
I much prefer those conferences where a meal in a restaurant is offered and then everyone gets drunk and young researchers end up talking about their posters at 4 in the morning in a night club.

Fuck publishers, the only reason I go along is that it is necessary for my career. If I could I’d publish everything on my own website. You’re very welcome to ask me for any paper I published.
- Comment on Wiley Coyote 5 weeks ago:
Unfortunately not, Anna’s archive has got some which are not on sci-hub, but not much more

Why are resonant bonds pictured as double bonds? I can not make sense of the molecule as it is pictured.

It does not take hours to change a law, but it is very quick to ignore a law and mow down a field. Now, whether the law will prevent them from doing that is a different thing. Someone would have to notice that they’re going to build in a protected area, notify the police and contact them officially to notify the error.
At this point they may still ignore that, then you’d likely have to start a trial. If you’re lucky and you start the trial before they mow down the field, they’ll likely agree they made a mistake, pay for your lawyer and move to the field besides.
There’s no need to change a law to fix something as simple as paying a couple lawyers.

Indeed, you should trust the other authors but that is the whole point of the response in the original post.
- Comment on Arxiv bans slop 2 months ago:
It’s quite common in interdisciplinary papers that some of the authors cover a part of the paper in which they are expert while others cover another part.
It is uncommon in those cases for all authors to read all referenced papers.
