By report his germaphobia is class dependent. Like he supposedly only hoses himself down with Purell after shaking the hands of regular members of the public (ie poors). Plus he’s gone on, at length, about the filth and disease and what have with just about every group of immigrants and non whites you can think of.…

No like I said. I did not tighten the nut properly after replacing the linkage. It was a new spindle. I know exactly how it happened and why it happened. And don’t need advice on fixing something that was corrected that same afternoon 2 months ago.

The nut is what presses it down firmly enough on the spindle to press…

That’s the point. Far as I know the nut always just holds the arm on. In the situation described, it’s not the spring tension that’s a problem. If the nut is not tight enough, the base of arm can be on crooked. If it’s canted up away from the windshield, then the spring has further to push the arm down and it will not…

Try tightening the nut holding the wiper arm on. There will be a plastic cap at the base of the wiper arm, under that there is a nut. That nut press fits the arm onto the axel that drives it. Make sure the wipers are off and in their resting position. Then just make sure the left wiper is positioned properly and crank…

Springs do not wear out that way. It isn’t being held under tension, or compression that does it. It’s either over stretching/compressing. Or the regular, repeated stretching and un-stretching.

Springs especially don’t “tire out” from being held stretched or compressed for long periods. It’s being over stretched, or the regular repeated stretching and un-stretching. You’re putting just as much wear on those springs by lifting the arms up to clear the windshield as you are leaving them up over night.

I don’t…

Also, if you leave them up, if you don’t get iced out, you can quickly put them down and use them to wipe off the snow from the windshield.

Now, they’re at risk of damaging the gearing, which is often made of shockingly brittle plastic, that holds the wiper blades and arms securely to the windshield.

But you called it pomodoro.

And you’d have to not know what pomodoro is to think this was even related.

So are you really the person anyone should be listening to?

A bit yeah. But there’s also the mainstream usage outside of Italian American communities. Like English (not just US English either) Vermicelli is used for thin rice noodles, glass noodles and some other Asian noodles. It’s *real* common here to see Vermicelli used on Chinese menus as a descriptor for thinner wheat…

Well any restaurant would be making at least that much. Or maybe for a church or school spaghetti dinner situation? Those are real common in certain areas, and recipes from them crop up continually in old community cook books.

Oh so it must be a completely unrelated dish that contains none of these things then. 

Honey is a classic paring with Mozarella (and cheeses of all kinds.)

Terminology varies a lot, especially over time. Even within Italy because there were so many regional dialects. Like parallel to all this you also have spaghettini, for thinner than spaghetti but thicker than capellini. So basically US vermicelli. And spaghettoni for slightly thicker spaghetti, so basically Italian…

On what fucking planet is that a pomodoro? It uses canned tomato puree, ground beef and cooks for 2-3 hours.

The actual Italian noodle by that name is thicker than standard spaghetti.

My long history with weird old recipes and long frustrating career in restaurants leads me to believe this is a recipe from a Greek owned diner or the like.

No there’s nothing gross sounding about the name Asian Carp itself. But Carp in general, and Asian carps in particular, have a reputation as not worth eating in North America. Many associate them with gold fish, or pond fish. So basically pets. Leading to the inevitable racist stereotype of “you know Chinese people…

Grandma pies, at least in the NY area (which come to us from Long Island) should have the sauce *next* to the cheese, not on top.
