Elviscat posted:I love that this is normally referenced to with the super fancy I-talian phrase "aqua fava" which just means bean water in English. Even fancier than that, it's Latin  It did its job, though, I thought this was something that had been common knowledge for centuries but...nope, people have been making bean meringues for 6 years.

Beachcomber posted:I've often wondered if there's any use for pasta water, but I haven't been able to come up with anything. Use it to make soup or rice? I mix some in the tomato sauce when I make spaghetti, it supposedly makes it adhere to the pasta better.

Captain Splendid posted:Even fancier than that, it's Latin Not really. Latin for 'bean' is 'faba'. 'Fava' is Italian. Classical Latin didn't even have the v-sound. The words we pronounce like that anyway are just an alternate spelling of 'u' to make pronunciation easier for the semivocally challenged.

The obvious use for pasta water or rice water is to use it as a thickener for a sauce. My mom used to have a box of powderd starch in the kitchen cabinets to be able to make any watery dish more gooey. What’s more interesting is the mindset that re-using your pasta water is either necessary or helpful. It’s part of the smoke screen that tells consumers to focus on ridiculously small parts of wastefulness and polution.

Yeah. If you eat pasta every goddamn day, and save your pasta water, that's going to amount to less water savings than like 1% of a farm field installing drip irrigation. You could save the same amount by staying in the shower for like 5 fewer seconds. Why the gently caress would you care about saving a pint of gross starchwater???

It's a kind of fetish (in the classical anthropological context) that gives a kind of spiritual balm that lets people feel just a little bit better about the grand ecological crimes being perpetrated en masse on earth

Basically anything you do to save water or energy or whatever is immaterial and doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Even if millions upon millions of people were to do the same the difference would be minuscule. See: The total shutdown of airlines and massive reduction of overall traffic due to Covid19 will barely have an effect on global warming.

The unification of Germany is inherently fascist. A proper Germany should be at least 20 different principalities. Abba Kovner had some good ideas.

Zipperelli. posted:I'll cede this point. I don't think Deutschland is edgy as much as provocative. Edgy is quote:Well, I've hosed the queen, I've hosed Bach Here's a great analysis of the song by a German guy who knows his politics and history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc-euVL8xQs Tl;dr every choice in the video was very deliberate commentary on Germany's past and isn't there just to make someone mad. Rammstein aren't my favorite musically speaking, but I really like their approach and attitude.

Someone in the 'Trump death cult' thread pointed out that Trump is literally incapable of referring to himself as "negative" in any way. So, even when he gets negative test results he can't just say that, he has to say 'positive' but oh poo poo, now people might think he has the virus, so he starts up with that insane mush brained postive-is-negative rant.
