Agreed on this. Polpette is supposed to be a second course, while pasta sauces are supposed to be “saucy”, not over-clumpy as polpette

In the north, they exist, usually in tomato sauce, but not as a pasta sauce

The market has shrunk and the prices have gone up… there are still some good items on the second hand market, at times, depending on location.

Googling seems quite effective, honestly. For example here
For my friend, I think was a Google search as well

The most groundbreaking moment in this sense for me was when I was writing course notes for an introductory course (level 300 on my specialty, I was ready). On a small topic, I had my references lined up, until a colleague shared that the obvious, well-known, widely referenced result had been disproven a couple of years prior. The new proof is far from simple, does not belong in a level 300 class and made me scrap the whole section.
For the interested: the course was Introduction to Numerical Analysis, the topic was the order of convergence of the bisection method. Widely known but wrong result Ironically, I can’t quickly find the paper disproving it.

Over the summer, archeologist groups look for helpers. Here is an example. It’s often mostly grunt work in a bigger group.
There are also plenty of small seminars scattered around the world with artisans teaching their techniques. A friend of mine made a sword for example.

I learned the hard way that my limit is one and a half. The half means “sometimes, a second shot is fine, sometimes NOT”

I haven’t heard of since there was a clear explanation of how the eye evolved - since that one was a specific example they were referring to

Love your description! Incredibly fitting! It’s tasteless honey, basically. Very sweet but not much else
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 4 weeks ago:
Absolutely. And in the less extreme variants, there are cultures for which good food is the base of socialization - you mostly meet up for dinner or similar - and others where good food is the exception, happening for big occasions and parties but not an every day occurrence.

Dutchies eat to survive, no care at all about what it is they are eating…

I heard the problem was with yeast interacting poorly with their digestion. Pear, power of the internet, tell me if I’m wrong!

We haven’t crossed the point of no return. We are accelerating because we keep press on the acceleration. If we stopped (as we did temporarily during Covid), stuff would get back on track. We have to act now

I don’t get it… I’m getting to the point that i dislike receiving most presents because i don’t have a use for them. Like: “ thanks for thinking about me and getting me this… plastic cheap Christmas decoration/little toy/picture book that I will never use”

I think the key word was unaged. Cheese tends to become yellow when aged, starting very quickly. But stuff like cottage cheese and mozzarella are indeed milk colored

Some time ago, my colleague tried to pitch to our boss to turn the coffee room into a ball room. Unfortunately, cost and sanitation problems were impossible to fix :/

Ironically, I work a lot with Fourier Transform. Still feels like magic. I even taught it! I’m trying to develop more intuition about it (vs hard knowledge)

Magic!

That explains just a tiny part. There are so many different sounds at the same volume and frequency

Sometimes I feel like a boomer being my years. I can’t watch a show and be on my phone. I either stop one or the other.
- Comment on We've got it all worked out 1 month ago:
I wanna know! No real reason, but I also partially like seeing the world metaphorically burn, and a new theory would definitely throw out some wrong assumptions we did _somewhere, sometime _.
