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 heard an interesting statistic the other day. Golf courses use vastly more water than AI. Upwards of 30x more in some areas.

AI usage only accounts for like 20% of water usage by data centers in general.

Do you have any invites left? I'd love one if you do.

The sincere answer is public chargers on the street. Similar to parking meters. They don't have to be fast chargers, 240v or even 120v would do the trick.

Funny enough, that's actually not true. July and August were originally named Quintilis and Sextilis (5th month and 6th month respectively) and were both renamed by the Senate well after Julius and Augustus died to honor them.

January and February were (re-added) later by Pompilius to sync the Roman calendar with a lunar year (364 days).

Unless you meant Pompilius, but he added those months for totally legitimate reasons.

I was in a meeting today that was supposed to only last 30 minutes, but ended up almost 1.5 hours because the PM spent 45 minutes complaining about a design, before they even read the design, then spent the next 30 minutes after being explained the design walking back their complaints without ever admitting fault or acknowledging they were wrong.

The worst part? Just an average Friday sync.

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the "dancing around and jumping through hoops" is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.
