I’ve just copypasted URLs from your post so I could click them after Lemmy converts them to hyperlinks in my comment. But then you’ve copied the images directly, with extra explanation. I feel like this turned out to be bigger effort than necessary.

Anyway, my wife liked the centibus.

I had made pasta with fresh tomatoes exactly once.

Yeah it was tastier than canned tomatoes. And it also took me half a day to make. In the end I just dumped the pasta into the pan with tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are like 3x faster, because they take no preparation time beyond opening the can.

The variety of tomatoes matters little, the heat treatment will average the taste, so it’s okay to use the cheapest tomatoes for this, as long as they didn’t start to rot.

Edit after reading others’ replies: maybe the tomatoes in my country are just better, even the cheapest variety is tasty enough eaten raw, and the only time I could find tomatoes that are picked green and are ripening on the shelf is during winter, when all fresh vegetables are hydroponics, and even then you have some choice.

The recipe:

  1. Get fresh tomatoes. Wash tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in 2 or 4 pieces each, you’ll mash them anyway so thin slices do not matter. Fill the biggest bowl in your kitchen with sliced tomatoes. I was using like 2 kg of tomatoes, they wouldn’t fit into the pan until simmering down.

  2. Fry diced onions and carrots in a pan, using a generous finger-thick layer of olive oil, until the onions are golden and carrots are sweet.

  3. Dump tomatoes into the pan. Cover with a lid, cook on a slow fire for about 15-20 minutes. Mash and stir each 3 minutes so they won’t burn. Cooking less will preserve taste of fresh tomatoes, cookig longer will make it taste closer to canned pasta sauce. But cooking for less than 5 minutes will keep tomatoes stay in big chunks, so you won’t be able to make your sauce stick to the pasta.

  4. Boil pasta while tomatoes are cooking.

  5. Dump Italian spice mix onto the pan. Turn off the heat, let it simmer for 1 minute.

  6. Dump pasta into the pan, stir, slurp your tomato-pasta soup from the pan like an animal, contemplate your life choices when you have trouble standing after eating 3 kg of food.

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.

Comrade S-70 was stealthily attempting to fly to the West while spreading capitalist propaganda, however it had repented and commited suicide mid-air via an AA missile it stole from the Voronezh airbase.

A batallion of engineers will be sent to re-education camp to prevent further accidents.

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.

I don’t want to replay Fallout 2, I want some twin-stick shooters with comfortable touch controls. As much as emulators on Android improved, they usually provide poor touchscreen experience.

I was peeling garlic with just my nails like a dirty pleb, until I read this post.
