  • Thank you!! I’m a Canadian that is currently on vacation in Italy and with an Italian mother in law, and I can vehemently agree with you on the guanciale =/= bacon.

    For 2 my understanding is you really want a 2nd yolk added to the first whole egg, it’ll make the whole thing creamier and richer - yellower too…

    If you love guanciale or bacon and want to put a lot in your recipe, it’s important to remove some fat after cooking it, before the following step - or the whole thing is way too greasy.

    My 2 cents!!


  • Why not make an Olympic bid be for 20 years, 5 games? With summer and winter bids offset, so for instance you’d have Paris be the summer games city 2024-2044 and Vancouver 2030-2050, something like that… Would give plenty of time to monetize the infrastructure investment, but not so long as massive repairs are needed…

    While we’re at it, all projects should include plans and funding to convert Olympic facilities into good quality low cost housing after the 20y are up, why not…

    🤷‍♂️















  • “It never crossed their mind that they could just attribute the discovery of insulin medication to God.”

    Gotta love this journalist’s salty commentary here

    I mean come the fuck on!!

    I really don’t believe the death penalty, so this is just pure venting; part of me would love that the sentence for these kind of crimes would be to inject these people with some easily curable disease - like tuberculosis for instance, or better: leprosy. Easily treatable, low contagion levels, and it’s nice and biblical for them.

    But they’re not allowed medication of course.

    Idk. Fuck these people.


  • My guess: didn’t know she was pregnant until very late. Options were dwindling or nil. She was completely and insanely career obsessed and career-anxious.

    Arrives the last month or two. Pregnancy is hard to ignore then, but it was probably daily terror and panic as she didn’t know what to do. She probably felt cornered, insane with anxiety and barely holding it together in a field that doesn’t give you any room for error.

    By the time she has to deliver, her brain is likely already pure soup from the anxiety, obsessing with how she can’t handle it, how it can’t be happening, how she can’t be a mother, doesn’t want to be a mother, can’t - not doesn’t want to, but can’t! CAN’T you understand?! - stop to work.

    So she delivers secretly. By this point she’s too far gone, mentally a complete mess, insane, unstable.

    So she kills her newborn.

    Not as a heinous premeditated act of hatred, violence and mischief, but as a completely insane act of post partum depression, psychosis, work related anxiety and sheer craziness.

    She didn’t choke or shake the baby then dug a grave at night - she didn’t do some elaborate crime and elaborate body-hiding shenanigans.

    She threw. The. Baby. Out. Her. Own. Window.

    And she’s a lawyer.

    There was no attempt whatsoever to not get caught or to act surreptitiously.

    Just pure terror, psychosis and a horrible, tragic impulse that ended up terminating a new life and ruining another.

    Sorry i got carried away lyrically lol.
