as an EN only speaker who found this post thru /all/ its rather astounding how similar Italian is to English, and how much of the gist I could gleam.

for those questioning, I only looked thru the post for linguistic… whatsitscalled, to clue in for context, to know that this post talks about an energy crisis, the petrol embargo by the US, and how it effects the economics of trade for Italians… and something about how accessible energy is important

it really is rather fascinating that just someone who took grade school Latin, and grade school Spanish, was able to glean all that, without running any of this trough a translation service.

as they say, “molto bene!” (or so I’ve been told)

neat. I guess the new Mohs scale would have cubic diamond at a 9.9, and hexagonal diamond at a 10? or would the current scale be kept, and hexagonal diamond be assigned an 11?

you are correct. this series is bad, for many reasons, but mostly because it has the world be so stupendously backwards that such basic concepts as “recordkeeping” are totally alien, and its magic system is not anything special, it’s literally

if you want civil engineering, read The Greatest Estate Developer, and its currently-publishing prequel, What A Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!

I have no idea when these pans of mine were made, but boy howdy will I be giving them to my children, and my children’s children (and their children after that). I like to hope that every time they cook with them, they’ll think of me, even after I’m long gone.

hahahahahaha that is true! I’ve got canadian maple syrup, duty free from some family in CA, and booooooy do those flapjacks taste GOOD with butter and syrup.

æbleskiver look astoundingly similar to another dish - takoyaki; as well!

~~…dangit now i’ve got a hankering for takoyaki, and the only good place is an hour away, and also closed for the night. ~~

as a man who exclusively cooks on gas and wood stoves (see pic in diff comment thread for proof)

I love cast iron.

skill issue. it’s easy to lift and use cast iron. proof: ~(imperial measuring tape for scale)~

just work out, and do exercise. don’t be a keyboard warrior who can barely lift his chicken nuggs.

can’t handflip pancakes with cast iron

yeah dawg I’ll be real here, that’s a skill issue. do some weights, and wrist exercises, and then you too can hand flip pancakes in a pan like this:

~~(imperial measuring tape for scale)

I’ve used cast iron for about 15 years now, and flipping pancakes in this thing is downright easy these days. (yes I know my kitchen is a bit dirty, I literally just made dinner, and am posting on Lemmy as I eat)

this was repealed, about 3 days ago.

get better news sources.

To quote K from Men In Black: “a person, can be smart. but people, are dumb.”

also yes. I do.

obligatory firearm safety reminder:

• rule one is “keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire”
• rule two is “never point the weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy”
• rule three is “always treat any weapon as though it is loaded”
• rule four is “know your target and what lays beyond it”

only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.
