Unpopular opinion: here's how to fix the modern world.
1)Find the closest living relative of the Hohenstaufen dynasty
2)make them Emperor
3)Surrender half the nuclear arsenal to them and the other half to Pope Leo
4)Choose whether you want to be a Guelph or a Ghibelline and be loyal to your faction.

Sembrano validi (tranne intùiti che pare una cagata pazzesca, a intuito), però da una startup che ha studiato comunicazione e marketing mi aspettavo avessero le competenze per capire che non si devono rompere i coglioni ai clienti con 5 email automatiche prima ancora che il corriere prenda in carico

Me: "This dough shouldn't be so sticky..."
Also me: "50% of 600 grams is 600g".
So, instead of pasta we are making 100% hydration ciabatta.

NASA has lost contact with a spacecraft that has orbited Mars for more than a decade.
Maven abruptly stopped communicating to ground stations over the weekend. NASA said this week that it was working fine before it went behind the red planet. When it reappeared, there was only silence. 📡🔭🦛

Apparently people sympathize with your burnout only until they need a "favor" (which requires months of effort, for free).
At that point you become a villain, just for trying to barely survive. Or worse, for suggesting a compromise solution (still painful on your end) which is not "their way".

I had to cheat my way out of a few game breaking glitches, but after 20 years I can finally say I have beaten all (5*) the Tomb Raider games worth playing.
*Ok, maybe 4. Chronicles is not really that good, and it doesn't even follow the other games' timeline, but it is less frustrating than 1-4.

A new weasel species just found in China. Every time I mention “dark extinctions,” people demand proof. But how do you prove the loss of a species we never knew existed?
There are more undiscovered species than known ones.
Extinction often happens before discovery.

Let's ignore for a moment the actual dish (stewed lentils), which is not ready yet. This is a test of camera placement.
I don't like the fact that the pot content is not visible from this angle.

I got this Voxelab Aquila (Ender 3 clone) which cost me 150€ + 750€ of upgrades, sitting on my desk for over 4 years now. The 3d printing world has changed radically, and I lost my Cura profile, so I would probably need to spend another 200€ of electricity and materials to recalibrate everything 1/3

In hindsight, buying 0.5kg of enological yeast, because it was cheaper than 10x 5g packages, might not have been a good idea.
Unless I get my hands on 2000l of grape/malted grains wort and open a brewery.

Pro tip: if you feel you need to improve your profanity skills, all you have to do is forget that USB cables are not "universal" as the name implies, and that most of them are power cables, not data cables.

It's always hard to describe Tarkovsky's movies. Stalker (1979) is a reflection on the human condition, as seen by an intellectual and a scientist following an outlaw guide on a journey through dangerous wastelands, to reach an allegedly wish-granting room.

Cooked for an army today (stuff which will be frozen, assembled and deep fried another day). Only problem is, I have no guests.
True friends are too far away, fake friends no longer bother interacting, family values gathering only when they are not the ones inconvenienced by traveling.

I didn't want to spend an hour manually sanding headlights, so I bought one of those restoration kits with a drill attachment. "Sand for 10 minutes with the 800 grit paper, then 10 minutes with the 1200, [...]" (Total process: 50 minutes for a single headlight). At least there is the UV varnish.
