you made me rethink how I cook my pasta and researched a little bit. The effect I’m experiencing can be explained by the amount of water I use. I always used 3 liters of water for 500g spaghetti. Recommended are 1l per 100g. Using lesser can result in greater loss of heat when putting in the pasta into the water.

Nope, add. I like my pasta al dente, btw. But if I rely on the time printed on the package they never are al dente but still kind of raw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever cooking time is written on the package: It’s always “add 3-5 minutes to it”.

I’m looking at you Barilla!

Edit: I’m sorry, Barilla.

I’m not sure there are standards about creatures without toes and molars, and a giant mouth replacing its head.

No hate, just some things to clarify the nerdy sounding post of mine:

1. I was born in that city. There is no way you won’t memorize that shape living there more than a year.

2. I had to look up some facts and thought it would be neet to post them here as there is no english wiki page about that building - a landmark of Wolfsburg and a cultural heritage, no matter how ugly it is.

3. No diagnose yet - but also never bothered to test it.

Also, as it is a spectrum: isn’t everybody on it?

This building is a CHP plant (generating heat / district heating for the factory and the city). There have been some overhauls 2009 and 2021 (due to converting it to a combined-cycle power plant). Half of this building (southern part, first two chimneys) is nowadays an event location.

As to what happened to the second tower:

From 2009, the chimneys were partially renewed. Part of the southern chimneys were demolished and replaced by clinker in the same colour. I guess this picture was taken during that time.

Totally looks like it.

Yeah, it totally lost it’s magic and added an uncomfortable feeling listening to it after watching A Clockwork Orange

I like your art though

Ich gebe zu, die erste Antwort war zumindest poetisch. ;)

Danke für’s Illuminieren.

Niehm daß sovort zurük !

Oder auch: Ich hab keine Ahnung, was du mir damit sagen möchtest. Erhelle mich!

Viele kamen allmählich zu der Überzeugung, einen großen Fehler gemacht zu haben, als sie von den Bäumen heruntergekommen waren. Und einige sagten, schon die Bäume seien ein Holzweg gewesen, die Ozeane hätte man niemals verlassen dürfen.

You could actually host your KeePass DB online, if you secured it good enough (and on a server you control). That way you’d have a solution working for every device you have, wherever you are.

Encouraged one of my friends to install Mint and upgraded my Lenovo Yoga to MX. Both of us are happy.

argh… manchmal nervt das Zangendeutsch aber auch. Merke ich mir aber für’s nächste mal, danke.
