  • You absolute fool! You think you can just link a source to prove your point, and nobody would actually read it?

    Your source speaks nothing of the shearing forces of cooked spaghetti noodles… it’s a paper about lentil-fortified pasta and it’s nutritional gain vs change in texture

    Zero to do with the ability to cook one very long noodle. In fact, it absolutely can be done, with a conventional pot of boiling water and making sure it’s al dente. My source for your learning pleasure. Now who’s the silly silly goose‽

  • Thank you for speaking my thoughts out loud

    I once had a dog who liked to… idk he was a weird little shit, loved him. Anyway, I saw him chewing on something once, and he wouldn’t “drop it”. So I went to pull it out of his mouth and it was a string of some sort; and I proceeded to pull out like half a meter of string that he had (mostly) swallowed

    I guess he was savoring the last few inches or whatever, but it was like a magic show where they pull handkerchiefs from their mouth

    Anyhoo, thanks for coming to my TED Talk




  • Well shit, dreams crushed lol

    In all seriousness, I appreciate the honest reply. I never intended to master any of my instruments, but always wanted to get over this “plateau” that I experience with all of them. It feels so good when you can finally play what you keep hearing in your head, even just a little bit. The closest I’ve gotten is with my guitar and ukulele, but similar to learning a new language, I lose fluency when I stop practicing

    And I know it just comes down to practice, I guess sometimes you need someone to spell it out again. So thanks friend, I’ll keep playing







  • I’m an older-millenial and when I was a kid, I thought cursive was just faster/more efficient. We were forced to use cursive throughout elementary school, but in middle school we could choose to use print. Peer pressure got me to switch to print cause nobody understood why I still chose to write in cursive (and shamed me, as kids be doing)

    So now my print still looks like a kindergartener (cause that’s when I was forced into “cursive-only”), and when I switched back to print in middle school, “typed reports” became standard

    And now I can’t really remember my cursive, and my print handwriting still looks like a kid. At least my cursive was legible and pretty when I was good at it… and faster. I’m not bitter lol
