Almost, but the "i" in this case is read as you would read "e".

It is called cannelloni (lit. "Big Tube") in Italy, no idea how it became "Clean hands" in the US. Maybe one is obliged to clean hands after his tube got big?

I would rather go through unnecessary chemo than have to watch another second of that dude. Its nothing personal hes just simply untalented but is tall and pretty so is untouchable and shoved down your throat at every opportunity. He's anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage yet the same women who shit on anyone even slightly threatening their internet supremacy on platforms like twitter would line up around the block to suck him off just because he was in a show that was caught up in the fame wake generated by the office.... He will come go on at nauseum until he starts to sag and be lost to time..

I also can’t stand him. The only thing I enjoyed with him in it was Guardians of the Galaxy, and well he’s a playing a selfish asshole, so…

I also couldn’t stand him in the Lego Movie, and I didn’t even know it was him until the credits rolled.

tokes_4_DE t1_iuv9u2i wrote

Alright i get reddit doesnt like him but i looked around and can find zero evidence of him being anti gay marriage. Some posts about being pro life or happy about having a children, but thats about it there.

Also people dunk on him for being a shit actor and yet everyone loves gotg and parks and rec. Not saying im a fan of his overly religious attitude at all, but he gets this weird hatred on reddit more than so many other actors despite not having anything really controversial to say.

Heres james gunns take on the whole weird rabid internet hate on pratt. Id say hes knows him pretty well....

This is the most Italian study ever. It's like if Canadians studied maple syrup and hockey.

Or like, if I got paid to study the effects of large repetitive doses of cheese and beer in Wisconsin.

I’m putting in the work, just not getting compensated.

It only counts as science if you write it down.

You must follow the scientific method.

It isn't good data until it's confirmed with a high degree of confidence. And the only way to do that is to repeat the experiment again and again, and conclusively get the same results. Then other people who can find no fault in your method repeat the tests and compare their results to yours.

The two scientists stand in front of a bowl of 120 day old pasta. Mario tried the last batch, so it was Luigi's turn today.

Luigi recalled with horror the profane vomiting sounds coming from Mario's bathroom the night after the last test. The disturbing red tinge to the toilet bowl the next morning would have frightened normal folks, but Luigi knew it wasn't blood Mario had thrown up, just Mama's tomato sauce (she'd beaten Mario with a wooden spoon for wasting food after he left the bathroom and Luigi could hear his stout brother crying himself to sleep).

Now though. Now it was Luigi's turn. He picked the long noodle up and it was wet and floppy. No discoloration, but they'd been duped before and had learned long ago appearances meant nothing.

"Brother, we need this to work," Mario said with an bit of nervousness in his voice, his hand on Luigi's shoulder. "They are cutting the funding at the end of the week."

Luigi scoffed, still staring at the noodle and muttered, "Fuck it." He tossed it in his mouth and chewed.

What seemed like hours passed, but it was only a few seconds. His shorter brother staring at him with wide eyes and a sweaty brow. "How is it brother? Please! Tell me!"

Luigi looked down for a long time, brow furrowed in concentraion. Chewing a little, Mario noticed a single tear drop off his cheek as he looked back up. "Al motherfucking dente."

Mario's eyes went wide as he exclaimed, "Mama mia! Do you know what this means Luigi!"

"It means our former colleague didn't die in vain, brother! We shall stop by church on the way home tonight and light a candle for Toad."

I read this as "...researchers find new recipe to extend life by a month with pasta."

My newly developing dyslexia is getting bad.

Ahelex t1_iust0vd wrote

It would be something of a revolutionary result if they did do that.

Knowing that your time is up, but you still have a few more things to take care of? Just eat this pasta, and give yourself one more month to get all your things in order before you pass!

I read it the same way, but for me it wasn't dyslexia and just wishful thinking

I started eating fresh pasta

cant go back to old dried spaghetti =(

GeraldoDelRivio t1_iusgaok wrote

Dried and fresh pasta are kinda like two separate ingredients. Fresh pasta is NOT just a better version of dry, they have two different textures that are ideal for their respective dishes.

Someone send it to Buitoni please? I've gotten two packages of moldy tortellini in the last year that were not close to being expired. I know it's madness buying the same thing and expecting different results, but when it isn't moldy their chicken prosciutto tortellini is fucking awesome

If I had to choose between fresh or dry pasta for the rest of my life, it would be dry.

Is that a controversial statement?

Because there are different types of scientists that study different things. The scientists in the article probably don't know much about medicine, so they can't help you with your bone issues.
