ID help please - Austrian Alps near Zell am See
  • There's a nice app for identifying mushrooms "Picture Mushroom". Although you shouldn't judge anything just based on its results (which they aldo state), it really helps when you're not sure about a specie or just exploring.
    There are several results, but all point to Albatrellus species.

  • I have questions. So, so, so many questions.
  • You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: "Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it's crazy" Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

  • The enormous scale of global food waste.
  • You're probably right, but there are other reasons. I don't have any statistics to support my point, but looking at a (comparatively) low level of food waste in Russia, I could come up with some ideas why (based on 37 years living there):

    • It's generally frowned upon if you throw away a lot of food. Probably because most of the population didn't have much on their table. And especially in Saint-Petersburg (Leningrad) which was blockaded, and where starvation was a real thing. My grandmother survived that, and she would always remind me of the struggle when I left something on my plate.
    • Most of the population lives in cities, and even if a poor family is living in some shitty town far away from everything, the conditions can be bad, but not "dirt floor" bad, and everyone has a fridge.
    • I never had to do that, and it was more of a Soviet Union thing, but in a winter, people used to hang out a bag of meat or something like that outside their kitchen window, because freezers were tiny, and that was the way to keep stuff from spoiling if you were lucky buying something cheap in bulk. I didn't see that for many years, but I'm from a big city and maybe it didn't get that much nicer elsewhere.
  • Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?
  • About the craziness - yes absolutely. In most other places, you use a thing until nobody would use it, or sell it online. And here, people are just: "nah.."
    Well, better for us. I also have a shitton of good stuff, including half of my clothes (I'm lucky to have size M, so a lot of stuff fits). Second hand stores look weird now: "Whoa, you need to pay for that?"

  • Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?
  • I do that all the time. A thing is a thing, and it can be your thing now. I only try to ask myself two things:

    1. Do I really need that?
    2. Is it in a good condition? I have a lot of used stuff at home, so if I took something half-broken, it would look like a dumpster already.

    Sidenote: I live in Denmark, where people overconsume, and then get rid of stuff which is still in good condition.

  • Pastas Assembled
  • Oh, thank you for providing me with this rare knowledge. But what happens while you boil pasta, is pasta turning around and soaking the oil in. I wouldn't be doing that if it wouldn't help with pasta stickiness.
    And as other people comment here, oil gets into pasta so you can have a problem with sauce not soaking in, but when I'm making something like bolognese, I sometimes pour pasta into the frying pan with the sauce, so it's getting there for sure.

  • Pastas Assembled
  • You can add some oil so pasta won't also stick when you have cold leftovers. I add both oil and salt in the very beginning, because there's no reason to not do that, and I have a feeling of the right amount compared to the amount of water.
    And I stir once, about a minute after putting the pasta in, because something tends to stick to the bottom in the very beginning. Afterwards, it's just not necessary.

  • Big Penny!
  • "Fools bridge" from Saint-Petersburg saying hi!
    It's just below the height of the most popular small truck, Gazelle - despite the poster saying: "It's low, Gazelle doesn't fit" (in addition to a normal sign), drivers keep checking that.

  • Let's make it identical
  • So you don't know what your meme is about, It's about the hardware stuff. The software is:

    1. Android, so you can use whatever interface app you like. All my phones look not like iPhone, but like my phone, because I use my saved preset of button layout, icon style, gestures, etc.
    2. The ones that come from Xiaomi and most other popular brands are not copying iOS.And some devices are "Android One", a clean android system
      Nobody is trying to steal your precious interfaces, Android is organized differently, so it makes no sense to have half android-style and half iOS-style
