- Comment on ‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war 6 days ago:
Could be for the US part of the tour? I saw them at a festival in Italy. And yeah, brilliant. Next day was Nick Cave who was even more spectacular live.

Just saw Gorillaz on their first show of The Mountain tour.
That can’t be. I saw them on The Mountain back in June. But yeah, Damon’ll show them how it’s done.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 1 week ago:
The article does point out that the victim had been imprisoned for 6 months at that point. That’s already disproportionate punishment for writing a slogan with washable paint on the likeness of some genocidal cunt. Would he have been put through that if he’s written some other message? I doubt it.

JPEG happened. That should always have been a PNG.

Thanks. I might just Hoover up your ideas and Xerox them for my Ziploc of tricks.

His space man persona was the real Bowie all along. And he was here to hold the fabric of reality together.
- Comment on This is to the Admins. How far behind are you guys and gals? I submitted a ticket like about a month ago and got an answer yesterday? Do you guys and gals need help? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, just wanted to nudge this in a slightly more constructive direction 😁

Maybe you should take OP up on his offer to help too?
- Comment on Companies like Uber and Lyft should NOT be allowed to treat their employees like dirt 4 weeks ago:
For sure. But having your health insurance tied to your employer is one of the things that are fundamentally wrong with the US.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Huh. Slashdot. And my old sub-3000 id still works.
- Comment on Drowning in grid scale batteries 5 weeks 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” 🙄 1 month 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” 🙄 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on One must imagine Sisyphus horny 1 month ago:
Must one? One would rather not.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
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] 1 month ago:
You’re confusing Starbucks with anything Italian. They’re an entirely American purveyor of milk shakes.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 1 month 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.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 1 month ago:
Don’t leave your pasta hanging.
- Comment on Royal Mail postmen defend delivery worker who kicked blind dog to death ‘like a football’ in vile attack 1 month ago:
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. 2 months 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
- Comment on It’s always too little or too much. There is no in between 2 months ago:
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" 3 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.
