I never reserve pasta water in c/dull_mens_club

[–] mfdoom 8 points 1 day ago

The starch in the water will help bring the sauce together and make it stick to the pasta better. Its more noticeable in a loose or wet sauce, esp. if you want to avoid it turning into soup. "Simple" sauces like Carbonara or Cacio e Pepe arent the same otherwise.

If you keep forgetting to do it, try leaving a measuring cup inside your colander, when you go to pour your cooked pasta in, it should remind you that you need to skim some water out first.

I'm all for reducing attack surfaces but we all know Tesla can already remotely disable their EVs and they are one of the most popular EVs in AU - so how will banning Chinese and Russian EV fix the problem? It just moves the control to another country. At least if we diversify it will take multiple countries working in unison to disable all of our vehicles hah.

One way to mitigate this is by giving customers control of the SIM cards that are installed in their cars. Manufacturers should not be allowed to preinstall SIMs! And the car should run without a SIM (no blocking of functionality). That would do more for this issue than banning chinese EVs.

Oops, that line is wobbly, just make it a bit thicker. Now the other side is too small, I'll make that a bit thicker too. Whoops, now that side is too thick, I'll just touch up the other side.. Whoops. Now looks like you fell asleep on an ink pad.
