I specified European multiple times. 'Italian' used in brackets as we were both looking at Rigatoni tubes and Italian pasta is the synonymous pasta type when you think of pasta.

That has nothing to do with 'anglo-centrism'.

Noodles are from Asia and pasta is European (Italian).

I'll grudgingly accept that Americans call spaghetti 'noodles', but calling all pasta 'noodles' is frankly ludicrous and simply wrong because thay are made differently.

Pasta, example as shown in the picture, of European origin is made from durum wheat.

Annectdotally I think this is the first time I've seen Italian pasta (not spaghetti form) called noodles, so I would believe this is a localised colloquialism or very much a minority thing.

Not sure I understand, beyond trying to promote your YT?

It's not the retreating back into the rear that they're worried about the *Ukrainian teenagers to do, that's why they're trying to brainwash them. No doubt some will be convinced, unfortunately, but hopefully most have a decent head on their shoulders and just surrender at the soonest chance.

At least for Android you can turn off push notifications. Long press the notification in question on the top pull down menu and pick your options.

Applicable for all apps, not just Reddit. Somhandy to silence irritating Uber Eats or Twitter crap.

For me the best looking 911 since the 997.

As long as you remember to top up every trip to the pump then at least you can be confident in always having clean oil!

Using crunch as an example of their progressiveness isn't really a good data point, Rockstar haven't released a title since RDR.

Talk is cheap when you know you're not going to be releasing a new title for ankther decade, but when it comes to the punch, that's when the proof will be in the pudding.

I assumed that it just fell out the engine naturally.

It was practically the entire automotive industry, not just VW.

They got the namesake simply because they were the first to be exposed for it.

Seems like the only way Russia will actually pay for the damages if they think they'll be keeping it.

It would be quite the win if Ukraine manage to take the territory back even partially rebuilt. We know that Ukraine have a policy of avoiding costly difficult offensive operations into obvious hard points and cities (selecting to go around instead). I imagine, all going well, if they were to find themselves in a position to liberate the Azov coast then they would try and set the conditions for a Kherson style Russian 'nope' retreat to avoid an encirclement.

Russians are still holidaying in Crimea. The propaganda is seriously strong on those that don't want to see through it.
