  It’s a reference to Alberto Grandi and his theses about the origins of many popular Italian dishes that are perceived as “traditional” but did become mainstream until after WWII (and that Italian cuisine before that was much more regional and less homogeneous).

  I think there’s something to those arguments, but it is worth noting that he’s not really a “food historian” as he’s often described but a professor of economics and management.

  His famous grilled cheese.

  What country would that be in? Because where I live (Germany), medical researchers face pretty much the same challenges as researchers in other fields.

  I started with 32MB, and I agree (aside from browsing the internet and having to wait for an image to load). I never get tired of linking to this blog post, which captures my feelings perfectly.

  What do you mean? Sociology I kind of get, but psychology nowadays is a purely quantitative discipline (despite its subject being squishier than other quantitative sciences).

  Brb, gonna take some of that Charizardimap the doc prescribed me against that anxiety. It’s super effective.

  German, so like VOO.

  Us Germans also use this word, but where I come from, we pronounce it RANG-deh-WUH.

  Beautiful.

  Came into a situation that was already solved and re-escalated it by shoving the player from the opposing team. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

  Also relative to (not around) the sun. The full rotation the earth does in a day is relative to the position of the sun. The absolute amount of rotation is different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parenting advice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe a stew that induces visual deprivation for a time period of 1 full rotation of the earth relative to the sun?

  I also find them really helpful for falling asleep. Sometimes when I feel stressed and see mostly noise, I’ll try to spot the color shapes and focus on them. It’s kind of meditative and helps me fall asleep faster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just the result of neurons firing and chemical reactions taking place, and it’s normal. Personally, for me it depends on my state of mind when I try to sleep. When agitated, I see noise like in your picture. When calm, I see flat, colorful shapes with soft edges that float around and change shape more or less rapidly (kind of like a lava lamp).

  I think it’s more about finding a picture with similar clothes. The fact that they’re obviously not the same people is part of the joke.

  The Assassin’s Creed franchise nowadays seems more like one of those slushy machines at the mall that perpetually move the same ingredients around in a neverending cycle of despair and stagnation.

  Don’t remember that dialogue, but the OP made me think of the Jamrock Shuffle (constantly running around town like a crazy person).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is pretty reasonable and shouldn’t be a hot take. IMO, what macOS does better is to provide a simple UI that protects less experienced users well enough from themselves while keeping developer tools accessible and close enough to standard Unix stuff. It’s easy to get into but not too hard to move past the basics once you need to. In Windows, I often feel like the opposite is true. The UI is a complicated mess of three different UIs that doesn’t even protect users all that well, and developer tools are often separate products with their own learning curve that are aggressively Windows-specific.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The question was where, not what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone whose first TES was Morrowind, it set the bar so high in terms of worldbuilding, I was honestly a bit disappointed with the later entries into the series. Oblivion (more generic fantasy setting) and Skyrim (nordic with dragons) definitely played better, but the worlds were much less unique and memorable.
