Here’s my tip - don’t strain the pasta. Just pick it up from the water with tongs and drop it into the pan. It’ll take a few scoops to get it all, and you’ll get a lot of the water in the pan with it (but that’s the point).

Even with everything else that’s been going on in your country lately, I think this is the thing that has tipped me over into thinking, yep, *all* you Americans are crazy.

I’m lucky that my gym has plenty of space to squat. But if this does happen, what’s the etiquette for “working in”? If I’m doing a powerlifting program, then I’m squatting over 300lbs in sets of 5 with a 5-8 minute rest in between. That gives you plenty of time to work in (and I’m happy for you to do it), but whose…

The main reason that people (including myself) forget names is that they don’t “remember” to remember them.
We’ve all had this happen to us: “Hey Chris, meet my cousin, Steve. He’s an engineer who worked on part of the launch system for SpaceX. He’s a competitive powerlifter and in his spare time he illustrates kids…

I do a similar thing to store them as a secure note in a password manager. Though this has just reminded me that my password manager has 2fa, and I don’t carry around the code for that...

I’ve gone through a lot of knives, but keep going back to this one: http://www.leevalley.com/us/gifts/page.aspx?p=52770&cat=53200&ap=1

How does this compare, security wise, with iris recognition on Galaxy S8?

Really?! I was coming here to say the exact opposite. I think his performance is amazing. His ability to narrate a conversation between the dwarves, keeping a distinct voice for each of them is phenomenal. This version is my go-to audio book recommendation for anyone new to the medium.

I’ll add another to the category of “everyone should have an album like this in that big ol’ stack of vinyl everyone flips through”.

If you want something good, but cheap while you decide, then this is amazing: http://www.leevalley.com/us/gifts/page.aspx?p=52770&cat=63281&ap=1

For those of you looking for a slightly more scientific ratio of rice to water, here’s my recipe.

My latest chicken obsession is miso.

The real reason that I spend less (and eat healthier) on meal kit deliveries is that you avoid multiple visits to the supermarket.

Yeah, very good idea. I like to just eat it as it. If you’ve had it cooking down for a long time in the pancetta fat, then the cloves go nice and soft and caramelised and and basically end up like a garlic candy.

Came here to vote for Carbonara, the sexiest of the pastas.

An option for this sort of thing is KeepTrack (https://lifehacker.com/keeptrack-creates-custom-entries-to-log-anything-1634772619 and http://www.zagalaga.com/).

Casting a slideshow from the GooglePhotos app should fix this.

If you like listening to stuff to help learn a language, make sure you try some Michel Thomas lessons. You hear him teaching the language to a couple of students, so you’re answering and learning along with them.

Duolingo is a great free resource, but I think they need a way to set how “exact” you want your lessons to be (perhaps a slider from “Perfect Grammar” to “You’ll be understood”).

Certainly doesn’t apply to all wine glasses, even ones tailored to a specific type of wine. I just tested this out on a $50 glass designed for Cabernet-style wines, and when filled to the widest point, it holds ~400mL (~13.5oz).
