Traditionally spaghetti is a side dish and while true can be served with a tomato sauce, it's nothing like you see in italian-american dishes, and more commonly used with lighter sauces.

And a margherita pizza, while very much a thing was really only invented at the end of the 19th century and is just one of many styles of neopolitan pizza.

My point isn't that they don't use tomatoes in Italy, it's that this idea that Italian food = heavy tomato sauce is more of an American thing.

Go to Italy and ask for spaghetti and meatballs and see how many restaurants actually have that on the menu.

I always laugh when I hear this. You don't have to imagine Italian food without tomatoes, you could just go to Italy. This whole idea that Italian food uses lots of tomato sauce, or tomatoes in general is a very italian-american thing. There's tons of Italian food, I might even say the majority of, that doesn't use tomatoes. It's really only southern Italy that uses tomatoes. That's why it became so popular. During the migration to America, it was mostly southern Italians (Sicily, Calabria).

Like this meme, the idea that Italians use tomatoes in everything is mostly an American thing.

My theory is time doesn't actually exist, it's a construct we made up to explain cause and effect. You can't travel back in time for the same reason you can't unbreak an egg. You'd have to figure out how to reverse entropy which per our understanding of physics is the most impossible of all impossible things.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, a million over 10 years equates to about 80,000 a year over those 10 years which is the median household income in the US. Far from wealthy and would still require you to work after that 10 years.

I'm curious, why? I think metric makes sense in most regards but I like the granularity of F. The difference between 70F and 75F is pretty noticeable, but in C, it's like what? 1 degree?

I was recently building a web portal that could accept payments. I was looking into ways to avoid the extra credit card fees we'd have to pay to accept them. I was told I can't charge an additional "credit card fee" because a lot of states outlawed them, but was told I could just relabel that fee as a "convenience fee" and it would be completely legal.

I think the thing a lot of people miss when doing these comparisons is at least back then, there were people regulating what could be shown to kids. Remember the old "hey kids tell your parents you want the GI Joe with King Fu grip!" and then that was disallowed?

The problem with YouTube and the like is you have to actively monitor literally everything they watch because every single video is a gamble. They used to say cartoons will rot kids brains, but these days a lot of what kids watch are literally brain rot.

My mom didn't have to worry about a random OF creator making cartoons to try and thirst trap her 9 y/o son. Or Voltron literally trying to groom them.

Technically you're still hearing the difference. If it makes contact, you're hearing the music, if it doesn't make contact, you're not hearing the music.

You could get OJ's full confession in the book of his "fictional" telling of what happened called "if I did it".

They're actually super easy to fix. Generally it's just the solenoid needs to be swapped out. You can buy them cheap on Amazon for most fridges and install takes like 10 minutes.

I stay away from the OEM ones. While they do last longer, it's cheaper to replace it every 3 years or so for like $30 than it is to pay for the OEM one.

You don't have to have a smart washer and dryer to do this. If you get a smart outlet that monitors power usage, you can have it notify you when the usage dips. That's how I do it.

I rarely use the bike these days but generally if you're using a stationary bike for exercise, you shouldn't be sitting the whole time.

It's in the center console that closes by sliding the cover closed. I'm not saying it's impossible for that to jam or come open, but in a case like that, the car would have to be in pretty bad shape and it still would have been useless in the glove box.
