@crazychile and no hot frying pan to get whacked over the head with

And the food usually tastes better than vinyl.

Still improving my Aglio e Oglio. Extra virgin olive oil makes a subtle difference...

Good luck mate! Me too, started last week (access to university, 25+ years old) for electronic engineering, asked for working hours reduction (30 hrs instead of 39 per week) to be able to keep up. A refreshing and fullfilling experience

Ai vapianoh!

Va' piano (go slowly)

One Italian dude literally reacted, (phonetically): "hai va'pianoh criminale!" Too funny...

I was just thinking, it totally makes sense why Tool's new album dethroned Taylor Swift's at #1. Tool fans still buy albums.

The CD ritual isn't all that different from the vinyl one, at least in spirit if not also in practice. Both can be very satisfying :)

I love my 7002, it's just different enough from the SKX to be more awesome!! Crown at 4 o'clock which gives it a slightly slimmer profile, date only vs day/date and square vs oval indices.

Need to post my Turtle re-issue in the watch thread. Have had it for a little over a year.. it's my first mech. LOVE IT. The pad and raised bezel means business. Dig the (authentic) tool-y look and functionality.. looks classy too.

Lost a SKX171 modded with a Murphy bezel due to theft. Maybe I should recreate it before they disappear.

Sea Dweller is COOLEST...

Bummer! I don't own one, but they are pretty rad. With Seiko also discontinuing many of their entry-level watches with the 6R15 movement, they don't seem to represent the same bang-for-your-buck that they used to.

The seiko mini turtle is a good alternative to the SKX.

It doesn't fit at all.

Here hard cheese is a more common spice on pasta than salt is, this and a couple of other spicy ones are the exceptions.

Pecorino is acceptable on arrabbiata, so long as you get the one that is itself effectively strong enough to taste spicy.

I actually prefer rocket and ricotta to top it off. Yes, my favourite recipe is quite off...

I made fresh pasta and this dish for my now wife early when we were dating (and a million times since). She claims it was a big factor in realizing I was worth keeping around. I've still not mastered it, but I'm fond of it for obvious reasons.

If it'll make you feel better, we can strangle ojneg on a rope of his own guts. He probably won't like it!
Or we can write him a sternly written letter and sign it by hand.
Either one. Pm me.

I don't know the cause of this upset, and I am not going to go looking for it. It's a community: it takes all sorts. And hey, just because someone is a Trump supporter or a Brexit supporter doesn't mean they have nothing that I can't talk to them about. Heck, I even make friends with rich people in the audio community!

I've seen one or two non-intelligent posts lately. But hey, the contents (or lack of) of that person's brain is their problem not mine.

That band just makes me think of Austin Powers.

Here in Finland they had a news bulletin in Latin for over 30 years.

This week I'm reading particle physics on Wikipedia; fun and so impractical.

…unless you're writing a new game engine. Or spacecraft simulations. Or ballistics study. Or high explosives. Or the impact of gamma rays on radioisotopes used in medicine. Or nuclear energy.

Or what happens to water when you drop a rock into it.

So, maybe not so impractical?

I envy my friends who find personal financial planning intrinsically interesting.

Make it a mental game where you want to maximise cash-flow after taxes. Keeps you busy...

Damn... I hated it, found nothing as boring, only wanted to spend it there and then, and now... I'm not rich.

Thank goodness the company-pension minimum contribution was not optional. But sadly, I ignored all the good advice to pay more.

Can't remember if you've seen Knights of Sidonia but it's worth a watch if you want something a bit heavier.

Loved Gundam Unicorn! Good return to classic form for the series, and the animation was top notch. Good palate cleanser after Iron Blooded Orphans (which was still good but... eh?).

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket is probably one of my fave Installments even though I haven't seen 70% of the other Gundam series.

"War in the Pocket" is next I think. I loved I.B.O. Mikazuki Augus is the Guts-version of a gundam pilot. Unicorn was good, not my favourite. "Knights of Sidonia", will look that up...

That will occasionally happen to me too.. I think it must be some combo of just-right diet and metabolic factors because it'snot the norm.

Hmm, I've never had alcohol affect my mucous membranes.

But I have awakened to find my liver cowering in the back of the closet in surrender.

What about studying recipes in other languages?

(unironically this may be a really good way to add an application to the learning process to really cement concepts/vocab)

Working on it. Once I mastered that I can shut up idiots who think they can B.S. while coming up with (semi)-random grocery list when ordering their food.
