I'm in Italian, and to be honest it makes no fucking sense in our language either.

I remember super fondly the days of Live Journal. Some of the people I was in touch with back then are rl friends to this day.

Lol, they're really fucking not.

The way I got my full A was.. interesting.

So, in Italy (where I'm from) they changed the law two months before I got my B licence, in 1991.

Before then, a B would allow you to drive any bike, whereas after the change you had to take a written and driving test for the first A (125cc I believe?) then another for 600cc etc.

Long story short, I couldn't drive bikes above 50cc with my B.

Fast forward many years, I moved to the UK, converted my B to its British version, stayed there 12 years, then moved back to Italy and made the conversion again.

I didn't pay any attention to it, until a couple of years later when I walked to a shop to buy a scooter.

They needed a copy of my licence, so I picked it up, turned it around and noticed that it included the A as well.

"Hold on a second, what can I drive with this?"

"The guy has and look and went "EVERYTHING", so I said to forget about the scooter and bought my first bike instead:)

Basically someone at the licence office fucked up when they converted from British to Italian, I never took any test. Oh well.

Adversaries?

Bloody hell it really does.

You're missing the main ingredient to make it creamy: cooking water.

You need to mix the cheese with one ladelful of water (picked when the pasta is almost ready so there's some gluten in it).

Then drain the pasta and stir it in the sauce.

If you don't do that there's pretty much no way to avoid clumps.

Dude, two different countries ffs.

Do me a favour, can you point to one? Because I haven't seen one in this thread tbh.

Fucking hell, I finished God of War 4 and I was considering getting Ragnarok but SEVENTY-NINE EURO. Fuck that.

All good but I'd just like to point something out.

When you boil pasta you're actually hydrating it, and it's a process that occurs above 80C, you don't need water to be boiling savagely.

In fact, it's preferable to let pasta simmer, as full boiling is a bit too "violent" and tends to damage most kinds of pasta.

You know, when some pieces are broken and torn like when it's overcooked? You can avoid that by keeping the temperature low.

Some people in Italy even turn the fire off after the water has started boiling ,as the water is hot enough to cook the pasta and keep it nice and firm.

Yeh sounds like the Darth Vader Charity Fund for Survivors of the Alderan Disaster.
