Ah I see.

Didn’t get the reference.

Here’s mine

Oh my god I was too stupid to get it since I was thinking about the spaghetto as it was in the comment above yours.

Now that I get it, I’m amused. Spaghettini.

I’m gonna design one and try to make one tomorrow. Although I don’t have martini glasses.

But like… a really good vodka-marinara, then mix in some mode vodka, shake, pour, garnish with a cherry tomato and and a spaghettini (the tiny one I was referring to) and poke it through the tomato. Or tomatini?

I’m not a professional. Sorry for ruining your joke, Ms-apparently-less-high-or-more-smart-than-me.

Apologies again, totally my bad. And thank you for correcting me.

Venison and red wine.

Oh… I’m think I’m gonna make venison meatballs tomorrow. With a little red wine.

According to my linguistic understanding “spaghettini” would be more like

(small bits of spaghetti sold as “raketti spaghetti” in finland, favoured by children)

Whereas in the post, that’s a spaghetto.

Or thirsty!

“Carbon-neutral” isn’t synonymous with coming from renewables.

In 2023, the electricity sold to [my energy company] customers was distributed by energy source as follows: 25% renewable energy sources, 28% fossil energy sources and peat, 47% nuclear power.

But my point was rather a rhetorical one on a global level

And more than likely most of us here are using thinking stones powered by electricity created by very large machines far away eating organisms for fuel. Not to mention heating, but not everyone lives where there’s only two seasons; winter and July. (Actually I pay extra to have a 100% renewables contract I think but idk how well those work.)

They’re on a carriage that’s like pontooned at the bottom, being pulled by the horse and driver who each have their own balloons.

edit oh wait d’you mean the ones in the back right my bad dk about them

I was gonna say I’ve no idea of my brand but ofc I do, it’s IKEA

Oh I just call that the spaghetti ladle.

Pretty sure mine doesn’t have a hole that measures spaghetti.

I just cut a hole in the corner and slide it out.

Or tear a big of the box lid off, but boxes aren’t as common anymore.

Always lagom. Enough for one meal and a bit left over for a snack later / next day.

wtf is a “spaghetti lifter”?

Exactly

Base 20, or “vigesimal”.

After censorship, bias still remains.

I’ve really been getting into red wines this year.

Great excuse with that is always to have some for cooking.

That’s literally the very premise of “Idiocracy” you just described, btw.

Yeah sound’s decent enough.

I haven’t driven new cars since like 2019 so I’m a bit behind and not aware of the most recent developments

Well the most use we ever got out of parking brakes was when driving front wheel drive cars in the winter so you can lock your back tires so you can slide around the snowy corners.

God I miss that now.

Soo… that means you had room behind your car, so you we’re never forced to learn how to do it without letting the car move.

Try an uphill start with shitty winter tires in traffic when the car barely stays still with your brakes on while you’re stopped at a 30 degree incline in lights.

You learn that it’s better to slightly antagonise the clutch (we call it “pissing” the clutch, but “bullshitting” would be a more accurate translation as per the meaning of “kusettaa”.) So youre sort of “cheating”, but what you can’t do is let the car move backwards.

Not only does it make it way worse for the gearbox, it also ruins your chances at having traction in a scenario such as I described.

In Finland you literally have to spend a day on slippery course before getting your permanent licence. It’s ice and water in the winter and oil and soap in the summer. And there too, the instructors may be like, “hey stop here on this uphill.”

Also, whenever doing conscription and driving military trucks in a convoy, you really can’t let the vehicle fall half a length.

That’s just bad driving.

I’m sure you’re a good manual driver… for an American.
