If you give the dry pasta a gentle stir for a few seconds after adding to the water it prevents sticking during cooking. This type of adhesion is called making "squids" with spaghetti because one end will stick and the other frays. Don't stir so hard it breaks the noodles or you are gonna have little 2 inch noodles and Nonna is gonna make fun of you. If you are breaking them any way or cooking spaghetti that is not fully immersed in water you need a bigger pot.

A similar problem is when pasta sticks together after completely draining and cooling. You can do as others have suggested and toss the freshly cooked pasta with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. If it is already stuck or you don't like extra oil pour water over the drained pasta and it will loosen readily after a light toss. If you are serving immediately after loosening make it hot water and it doubles as a re heating method

played videogames for years without a problem, had a PS4 for a year and I swear that little beep gets mapped as a pavlovian reaction for being pissed the fuck off. Started more fights than being hungry.

This has fucking levels damn

1 chopping block with axe but no firewood being chopped for log cabin that, by the smoke already had a fire going

2 hammering generator, randomly sitting in a field next to a cabin with no power hookups

3 lit lanturn in the day time

4 building log tent thing when there is a cabin there

I'm sure I missed some, these are becoming like the spot the differences things they print in the newspaper but the difference is between reality and the fever dream of a man with a beard fetish

stardew makes me crave automation. I never end up upgrading my watering can because sprinklers go brrrr and I'll be damned if I pet or feed a single animal.

This isn't any more true than it was 15 years ago when I first saw it on imgur. Those are close ups of small shells found in some tropical sand that have been separated from regular sand. Sand isn't fucking magic its small rocks.

Also white sand is fish poop.
