Not American portions, but for a dish that is centered around pasta. Usually with a light tomatoe sauce, aglio e olio or something like that. And I like to have a second helping, so that’s included.

If you’re going for a casserolle or something else with lots of Cheese, a thick and creamy sauce, or relevant amounts of meat and/or vegetables to go with it, you’ll need less than that.

125 grams of dried pasta per person, as a main course usually works fine for me.

I am amazed at how convoluted your way to solve the first three equations is, but I applaud you for pulling through and solving the integral. That’s where I chickened out, because I’d have had to look something up.

I use a safety razor too and I don’t really have these issues.

I can shave in any direction I want, no problem and just have to watch the angle of the blade if I want it to work properly and provide a close shave but not because I run the risk of cutting myself. Only thing I have to pay attention to in that regard is to NEVER move the blade perpendicular to the handle.

But in my experience, what makes the biggest difference is how the skin and beard is prepared. It all works so much smoother if I apply hot damp cloth beforehand or I shave right after a hot shower. Also a nice foam from a good shaving soap helps a lot as well as using a fresh blade.

But I can also just ignore all of that and go at it dry and with a months old blade. Only in that case do I have to be more careful and won’t get as nice a result. Probably helps, that I don’t have a very thick beard growth in the first place, though.

So yeah, looks like it can be a very different experience.

Oh but also the kind of razor make a difference. I once had a very light and tinny safety razor, that was barely useable. A nice stainless steel one with a heavier head is so much better.

People who have never played Wacky Weels or Road Rash (PC edition) from the nineties are missing out! Legends of my childhood.

Cheers to your wife.

Looks like she enjoyed herself. 😆

I think it’s kind of a natural evolution. The fear of the unknown effect of Alien wears off for the viewer, once the creature has been revealed and defeated in the first part. So a sequel in the same vein woulndn’t really work, but recycling the creature as a fearsome enemy in an action flick surely does.

I also don’t really gravitate towards horror movies as I find most of them to be pretty cheesy or tryhard edgy. Alien is the exception. This one is a work of art.

Imho, they are different genres altogether.

Alien is a real horror-movie, while Aliens leans more towards the action-movie genre, of course retaining horror elements, but it doesn’t quite play on the body-horror and fear of the unknown as much as the first part does.

Be aware that part of ich_iel humour in no small part consits of comically literal translations of English expressions. That has nothing to do with proper German and as a learner you probably won’t be able to spot the difference.

Bad idea to try to learn German there.

You think that’s a picture of my family? No! It’s the A-Team!

This versioning looks a lot like the drafts for my bachelor’s thesis.

Take your time. The penguins will be there for you, when you’re ready.

You are using all of these yourself? What kind of crazy job is that?

You phrased it a bit too harshly to be constructive, but that’s basically the way.

OP you don’t have to ditch it all at once. Just make yourself familiar with FOSS alternatives to these apps and once you’re content using those it will be easier to ditch the proprietary ones.

I also wonder if we’re approaching this the right way. The Ring hast strange powers and works in subtle ways to get to its chosed ringbearer.

Maybe this is the trick to never lose your 10mm again. At least not for very long.

It’s a bit of an overstatement, sure. But our administration is kinda notorious for being very slow adapting to the digital world.

It’s slowly improving lately, but there’s still a lot of stuff that’s excruiatingly analog and a lot of actual paperwork required by law.

It was kinda big news when some government agencies abandoned fax machines last year.

But she can’t possibly endanger her child, OPs sister, by giving her tech that is “not okay”. It might explode on her or something.

I come from an ass backwards country that does not do e documents

let me guess: is it Germany?

Makes sense. I wasn’t aware those existed. Where I come from jukeboxes aren’t really a thing. The only one I ever encountered was really old school and only had vinyl records from the Elvis Presley era.

Where do you even find a jukebox, that plays Darkthrone?
