Lazy straining can make your pasta taste way better, it just takes a little extra time.

First; undercook your pasta, you'll want it barely soft on the outside and still kinda crunchy otherwise it will overcook into mush. Second; drain your pasta but leave about 2/3 cup of water in the bottom of the pot. Third; add a generous amount of butter to the water and pasta and place back in the stove at medium-high heat. Also a good time to add salt/pepper/seasoning. Fourth; stir until water boils off completely. This is going to create a butter sauce as the starch in the pasta water combines with the melted butter. It will stick much better to the pasta and doesn't leave your pot all greasy from the butter.

It makes the best goddamn buttered noodles but also works well for any jarred/pre-prepped sauce, just add it in the mix towards the end so you still only have one pot to clean.

I haven't been to my local IMAX theater in nearly a decade because the sound system went to absolute shit and they still haven't updated it.

Even before I went down the audio rabbit hole I felt it was a huge upgrade just having a cheap pair of bookshelf speakers and decent looking TV. Now with OLED becoming ubiquitous it's too easy to make an amazing setup that doesn't break the bank. Theaters need to do some drastic changes to bring back their value, but honestly it might just be better leaving them in the history books.

A&W tried it in the 80's and apparently more than half the people in the focus group thought the burger was smaller because 3 is less than 4. They renamed it the 3/9th burger so dumbass Americans wouldn't feel like they were being ripped off. Americans have been leading the world in dumbassery for the decades at this point.

Hot take: if you add way more garlic than the recipe calls for then you aren't chopping it finely enough.

I used to triple the amount of garlic until I started to make fresh garlic paste instead of just dicing the clove. The difference it makes cannot be overstated and it allows other flavors in the dish to shine side-by-side with the garlic instead of having spontaneous garlic bursts.

It never gets old seeing these dumb fucks say "I love my truck but" and then showcasing an absolutely egregious design flaw. The deeper you dig the worse this shit-onion of a truck gets.

Huh, almost seems like the hysteria that trans folk were doing it just to go into women's bathrooms was totally bullshit. Who could have possibly predicted that?

Actually I'm in California, but I'll take that as a compliment!

Our funnel web spiders are pretty mild but it could have also been a brown recluse or wolf spider. Not super deadly but not a fun bite by any means.

Thank you, it was more of a happy accident but I'm very pleased this worked out.

I'm not sure of the species, but it might be a funnel web spider's burrow? I didn't stick around long enough to see the spider, I just assume it's quite venomous and treaded carefully.

It's the first sentence of the quoted tweet.

I'm pretty sure the spammer is using a screenshot from one of Ro Randin's videos. Worth checking out the channel if you haven't, they make great videos.

A shout out to Austrian Audio (former AKG engineers), Focal, and Meze. Some of the best high-end audio companies for headphones, not that beyer is bad, I just don't personally enjoy their sound signature.

Also on the amp side of things Analogvibes is a German company producing diy tube compressors and equalizer kits for music production. On the pricey side for sure but the quality cannot be beat, they sound and feel absolutely beautiful.
