Very pretty! Loving the fading of focus
- Comment on pasta bowl of nades 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Real 2 weeks ago:
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”

the description doesn’t really match it?

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…

- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 1 month ago:
In the Alps, there are already quite some ghost towns. Small towns either turned into touristic villages or disappeared over the last 50 years. Others were border towns that slowly went out of business. So many are hanging in by a thread, with increasingly old population.

Ohhh daaaaam!!
- Comment on Finding people who vibe with you is so hard 1 month ago:
Absolutely! I just moved to a city that significantly sponsors third places, there are so many clubs and activities for free or almost (archery club fee at 45€/year, dojos go between 45€/semester to 100€, swimming pool at 2€/hour, film festivals for under 10€, knitting club and language club are free, additional discounts come with social security benefits). It makes such a difference! Meeting people becomes seamless when costs are not a constraint. It has been so much easier to build a social net.
Previously I was in a big business city. Everything costs so much, it was hard to justify. Free activities were few and far between. After years there, all my social contacts were through my work.

Wouldn’t there be other possible plants that would provide the same alkaloid compounds?
- Comment on Waiting for Capitalism to collapse, so we can get this over with so we can reverse climate change and have nice memes, technology and the good end 1 month ago:
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
- Comment on Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy 1 month ago:
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)
- Comment on Feeling that groove 1 month ago:
Magic!

That explains just a tiny part. There are so many different sounds at the same volume and frequency
- Comment on Companies that buy up homes should be known as home scalpers 1 month ago:
I have a career that required me to move internationally every 2-3 years. I definitely did not want to buy and sell houses at such pace, without even having a credit record in the new country. Scalpers should be treated like cockroaches though.
