I have never stirred pasta. I need you to understand this. I’m old, I’ve never once stirred pasta. I’ve made a lot of pasta.
I wait for the water to boil, I put salt in and question if this even does anything but I do it anyway, I put the pasta in then seven minutes or so later it’s done.
What are you people doing to your pasta… I don’t even know what universe it would do that. How would it do that? Is this some American thing where American pasta isn’t made from wheat anymore but instead corn syrup?
Yeah, I’ve read those theories, I’ve also seen people say it does nothing. I’ve forgotten and it’s made no difference. But I still do it. It’s worth noting you have to add a lot of salt to meaningfully change the boiling temperature.
I have made endless spaghetti and this has neverever been the case for me, ever.
Are you american? i gotta know if this is some american food is weird thing. american food is often weird. this is not something the rest of the world talks about.
everyone was moving to EV’s with or without tesla. if you want to credit anyone go back to the Prius way back in the late 90s. They set the trend, Tesla jumped on that trend.
I’m not defending musk. So tired of that qualifier in this thread.
did not say you were.
The prius is not an EV it’s a hybrid and nobody thought they were cool.
it sold incredibly well and proved that there was a market, and yes it was a hybrid as the technology wasn’t there. do tesla get kudos for waiting for battery technology now?
You have your history completely backwards.
do you think that the prius came out after a tesla? you need to explain this one.
The new Prius Prime is cool af in my opinion.
it doesn’t matter what you find personally cool for what it’s worth, then or now.
The prius did not sell incredibly well. That is completely false. It sold well enough to be profitable but even a standard Corolla sold more year after year.
… uh, yes. the traditional fossil fuel based card sold better than a car selling to a new market. do you want to compare it to, oh i don’t know, a ford focus too? are you trying to talk about the hybrid version that came out in the 2010’s like 15 years after the prius?
if you want to make the argument that the prius wasn’t instrumental in proving the EV market, good luck. you won’t find much backing with these talking points.
Because there was nothing else to compare it to at the time.
grab this thread, you can maybe start to understand how they were instrumental in creating and proving the EV market that Tesla would eventually capitalise on top of
I mean the answer to your last thing is battery technology. the lithium ion battery boom is the real driver of EV’s in general. you really gotta understand the role that Tesla played here is to surf on the wave, not create it.
a bunch of weirdo cars came out that were based on lead acid batteries in the 70s? i think, that killed that market
Prius proved the market existed with their Hybrid, that demand was there. they also totally dominated the market with their brand and no one else was tooled up for it.
Batteries with the capability of pushing hybrids, ev’s boomed into mass scale in the mid-2000’s
Tesla and many others take advantage of both of these things happening to great success.
So, they’ve already won. They just haven’t turned on the nuclear option yet.
They recently added what amounts to drm for the entire Internet to chrome, it is a way for them to disallow access to YouTube and other services via anything but an approved browser. This would include approved extensions.
So I’ll use something that isn’t chrome? Well, they will just block Firefox from YouTube. Making chrome and chrome derivatives via its Internet drm the only option.
Eh, probably. But it’s for fighting those darned internet pirates, and the only body that seems to protect us anymore, the eu, seems to be all for that. So I’m.not expecting anything good

So you’re saying you refuse to watch YouTube? I’m not quite sure what you’re statement here is. If it’s “fuck youtube for the bad things it’s done, I want ad free content and I won’t pay” then we live in different ideologies for sure.
This is cute, but no. The studios should be paying people what they need to continue working in the industry so that the industry is a place where people can work. And this only weakens future negotiations.

The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃 (lemmings.world)
What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
