- Comment on Drowning in grid scale batteries 4 days ago:
You really can’t though. The batteries both have a capacity (kWh/MWh) and discharge power (kW/MW) rating, but it’s usually the capacity that is the limiting one. And for extra fun, the discharge power goes up as the battery has more charge, and the charging rate goes down.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 5 days ago:
Fun thing is, though, that 0.25g of oil is 2.2kcal and not 0.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 5 days ago:
They’re multiplying by the 0.25g serving size, then rounding the 0.25g of fat down to 0g and calculating the calories from that? I can barely imagine the apoplectic rage this would have triggered in my experimental physics professor.
- Comment on You must have an internet connected smartphone to eat 5 days ago:
the alternative is going to small shops where the menu is handwritten and without pictures
That’s what I used to do and then I’d look around and find something that looked nice on someone’s table and ask for that. And I learned the word for beer. It worked pretty well.
Also, going to KFC when you’re in a country with a rich culinary tradition… As an Italian you should know better.

Must one? One would rather not.

I certainly haven’t seen one in 10 years of living in Italy. But they might hide one in Milano.
Starbucks has arrived, though. Just a handful in the largest cities. I haven’t been inside one, but I hope they’re full of tourists.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You’re confusing Starbucks with anything Italian. They’re an entirely American purveyor of milk shakes.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 3 weeks ago:
I mean, the fresh stuff is certainly better. Also, Barilla isn’t that awesome. I don’t know what you have available, but I live in Italy and I never buy Barilla. (Although I’d like to thank them for being a large contributor to my adopted city’s finances.)
But yeah, time things so that the sauce is ready when the pasta becomes ready. The sauce won’t suffer for sitting for a few minutes.

Don’t leave your pasta hanging.

Isn’t GB news for people who think The Daily Mail is too reality based?
- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 5 weeks ago:
Trofie* al pesto is most properly made with string beans and potatoes and is delicious if the pesto is good and fresh.
*a pasta shape

I was fully prepared to cry in my acquired Roman accent but… that actually sounds great. The only thing I have to cry about is that they were out of carbonara at this place I’m sat in Pescara.

Poking light fun at everyone, really. Including the Italian above and myself for living here and having taken on some of that.
And yes, I grew up eating spaghetti with minced beef and ketchup.
- Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out" 2 months ago:
We hate your freedom to put ketchup on pasta.

I’d bet a Euro, just for the hell of it. But obviously I’d lose that Euro.
- Comment on Zen 4 months ago:
As someone who moved downhill from there, yes, I’d agree. But things weren’t always like this, and when Americans say “Italian”, they really mean “someone whose great grand parents may have been Italian. At least some of them.”
- Comment on Zen 4 months ago:
Which would make sense if those Italians were from the Aosta Valley, since food and other culture doesn’t stop hard at the border. But I’m betting they’re not.

My people would rather have starved than eat crustaceans. Lobsters were being fed to prisoners in the US until recently. People are weird.

That isn’t Mercator, then the longitude lines would be parallel and not converge at the pole like that. Greenland really is massive, even without the Mercator distortion.

A lot of people still go by the NATO vs Warsaw Pact division that we grew up with. I still have to envision Czechia as the western part of Czechoslovakia.
