Spaghetti aglio e olio. Sounds fancy yet it could not be simpler. Cook spaghetti or linguine or my favourite angel hair pasta. Meanwhile peel and slice garlic. Heat good quality EVOO in a pan and when the pasta is nearly ready toss in the garlic (I also like to add in sliced red chilli). Once garlic starts turning light golden toss in the pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and mix together. Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and some finely chopped parsley, oregano, marjoram or any green herb of choice for a little bit of colour (optional). Nice crusty garlic bread on the side and for a couple of bucks and 20 minutes of your time you’re sure to impress anyone.

This is not a forgone conclusion. Depends on the pizza base. A good pizza base has a tasty crust that I’ll devour, conversely a bad pizza base has a terrible crust and I very likely not finish the pizza and leave all the crust.

If I remember correctly, it used to be a thing here in Australia, but I’ve not heard of it for a decade or more.

Oh my g.o.d! Do you think a swordsman main weapon was a bazooka? I’m not an expert on Japan, but in Europe the side arm was a dagger, which was very commonly used alongside with certain types of swords such as rapiers. Arches did not carry swords at all, though they could have had knives. A sword was a nobleman’s weapon and a peasant would forfeit their life if in possession of one (archers included). The same applied I Japan.

Spanish. Holocaust pales in comparison.

Well, pineapple is a bunch of berries fused together.

Unrelated : avocado is a berry.

I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.

Am I the only one who thinks that at least some resemblance to actual history should be reflected in these memes?

I believe that is the only place I learned about tourniquets in first aid cert. In that case you can use a shirt and a piece of stick. I’m doubtful of “hours without further damage” though. They definitely have their place but for understandable reasons they’re not recommended for regular first aid.

I can join your smaller niche of ex-boyfriends. In fact I already consider you my ex.

I wonder what “other” is.

User name checks out.

But why? I can type on my phone.

A shoe horn is the ultimate in little things that make your everyday life heaps better.

There’s a great video about why it isn’t widespread in the US on YouTube by Technology Connections.

Last few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn’t taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.

I’m not extolling virtues of an Sync’s code. I also don’t understand why a lot of people automatically think that open source is better “because anyone can look at it”. All I’m saying that to me it’s much of a muchness. I don’t understand code so open or closed it’s not a draw card for me.

Beer.

Yeah, it must be voyager issue. I downloaded Sync today and everything is as it should be.

Sync had served me well on reddit. I don’t pay for Sync. Who audits open source apps?

Now imagine if you could fold your S20U in half like a flip phone that has a nice informative screen on the outside of the top half. I have S20U as well and I find it too tall for most pockets.
