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

Yes, but saying “Trump” is shorter and often clearer than “the loosely defined group of people of which Trump is the spokesman”

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.

How are people surprised ! That’s just sad

Googling seems quite effective, honestly. For example here

For my friend, I think was a Google search as well

I guess I also don’t have the power of thesaurus on my side! Lmao

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”

1. amazing short film

2. the description doesn’t really match it?

I don’t have the power of briefness 🤣

I’m not even American and this makes me rage

We are all dying sooner or later, but we can someday a little bit choose how we go.

I’m all for decreasing alcohol consumption, I think last year I was around 1-2 drinks a week, but I also strongly believe you should enjoy life. For me, that mostly means eating more red meat and chocolate than advised. In my 20s, it was less meat and more alcohol. Was it “necessary”? No, but I liked it. I would do it again.

Enjoy life!

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

I find it so upsetting that most of university’s focus is building marketable skills. That should be the side result! The main result should be in-depth education in a field of your choosing, while building critical thinking skills. Not “let’s give you 5 more years of fact based learning while cherry picking the facts to tailor it your future job”

Resist cultivation or have some other undesirable properties. Often low yield, short harvest, low yield, difficult picking or transporting.

A favorite example of mine: oak’s acorns are sometimes edible. Roughly one in ten oaks produce edible acorns. They are indistinguishable from inedible ones unless you try them out - but inedible ones are fairly poisonous. The gene for edible acorns is recessive and it takes at least a decade before you know if a newly planted oak produces edible acorns or not, with a 10% probability of the former. It is just practically impossible to select for this criterion. Thus, we don’t eat acorns.

It really depends on the field. I will talk about fields I know: fundamental math - one paper every 2-3 years is a good pace, every paper 50-100 pages. AI - a paper a month is the usual, with a hard cap at 10 pages, often less.
