Bronze cut pasta, as already pointed out, has a different consistency and it's usually better appreciated. Just not the Barilla brand - I find Barilla pasta viscid and difficult to cook properly as in my experience it goes from not ready to overcooked without passing throug "al dente" or medium cooked.

That has nothing to do with the bronze and everything to do with the ingredients at the time of manufacture. And if they make the dough a bit drier it will come out rougher (I have one of those little pasta machines though I limit it's use now to uncut flat sheets). Also, how the drying is done will effect the surface.den2k88 wrote: I find Barilla pasta viscid and difficult to cook properly
I agree 100%. Without quantifying it, I too have found it just always seems to come out "wrong".

And yet my family never has any trouble getting it to al dente.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Al dente for an American can have a very different meaning than from an Italian (French usually overcook pasta and their al dente is already overcookd for us)... and I was stating my experience with that particular brand. With other brands, both the better ones (De Cecco, Voiello and all the pasta from Gragnano) and the cheaper ones, I never had any trouble at all and they are never viscid.

Hi All,
Spending alot of time trying to find an XML file, Why do people say its on the server when asked the question where is the XML. Combine that with the fact IT is moving stuff randomly over to a 'better' system. I am now trying to find the manual that includes it as appendix, perform an Appendectonmy and all should all be good...

Good luck, we have a server where we store useful stuff like utilities, but strangely a lot of files went missing. Turned out to be the Antivirus which did not like .exe files, so it just deleted them ! 
|

Know the pain, I store all the 'well that might be useful' stuff on a USB stick as I have been caught like that in the past. Found the relevant document copied the xml and pasted into Notepad++ all is good!

"It's on the server" means the same as "It's on Earth".

Hah I got asked yesterday if we had a copy of a spreadsheet I used as a spec for an prototype I built 8 years ago for a project that never got off the ground. We have changed server styles twice since then (virtualisation is not the flavour of the year) and I have changded workstations 3 times.
So when I replied it MIGHT be on a server I was thoroughly abused by the devops assigned to find it hah hah hah.

Could have been Pi day.
So why was 3.14 chosen as Pi day?
Its not even a precise definition of Pi.
|
|
|
|
|
It is at 16:00
3.14 16 is closer than 3.14 28

22/7 isn't Pi either... it's less Pi than 3.14.

Taken to 5 dp's ...
Pi = 3.14159
22/7 = 3.14286 (+.00127)
Pi day = 3.14000 (-.00159)
So, yes, it should be 22/7 by a whisker. (Added to which the UK date format is better than the American one!)
