This is a completely self indulgent poll, have you ever been to Quebec City? Has it ever crossed your radar for places to visit? -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:44 17

No idea how common little appearances like this are in pop music. Veteran Kpop band fromis_9 in a boozy noodle shop sing along. - con_carne Nov 27, 14:54 [youtube] 4
- Tiny Table Concerts. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 14:56 3
  - Do you mean Tiny Desk? -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:28 1
    - No, I think Mop just came up with a million dollar idea, but he'd have to pay licensing to NPR. -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 16:32
  - Though that's missing the close public part of it -- nm - JD Nov 27, 14:57
Montreal, the last time I visited: Fuck you. We’re building light rail. Deal with it! - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 14:30 4
- Fun fact, I have never been to Montreal. That is not technically true. I was driven thru it at like age 12, and went to the airport a couple of times. - loosilu Nov 27, 15:25 2
  - You’re better off. QC > Montreal -- nm - VMan Nov 27, 15:36 1

- indeed -- nm - crash davis 😺 Nov 27, 17:56
- Dylan interests me, Mangold kills some of the enthusiasm. But probably, particularly if I can get a friend to go with me. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 27, 16:58
- Any nudity? -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 15:52 1
  - Always the important questions first. -- nm - RelucantCynic Nov 27, 16:10

Since tonight is a traditional easy dinner night, here’s a supercut of Italians getting upset when people break spaghetti in half, to put in the water -- (link) - Trending Nov 27, 13:03 32
- it never stops being funny -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:15
- The last one is the money shot. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 27, 14:27
- Everyone knows if you break it in half all the calories fall out -- nm - znufrii Nov 27, 14:08
- Why is this a bad thing? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 13:45 8
  - I am NEVER going to eat dinner at your house. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:15
  - how do you twirl it onto your fork without it all just sort of unraveling and falling off? i mean, i don't really care, but i assume that's part of it -- nm - Andie Nov 27, 13:49 5
    - Chow mein, no twirling. Udon, no twirl. Spaghetti, suddenly you have to twirl? "What. Is. The deal?" -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 14:14 3
      - Yeah, chow mein is American. Udon is slurped. Japanese would chop you with a sword if you broke the noodles. -- nm* - loosilu Nov 27, 15:21
      - Though no forks for the first two either -- nm - JD Nov 27, 14:59 1
        
        Au contraire. -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 15:14
    - I can still twirl the halfsies. just load up in bulk and they all stay together anyhow. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:56
  - Other than making it a bit more difficult to eat I can't see an actual problem with doing it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 13:47
- Wouldn’t do it, but live and let live. -- nm - VMan Nov 27, 13:18 19
  - same same -- nm - Andie Nov 27, 13:30
  - I always break the spaghetti in half—didn’t know it was such a bad thing -- nm - Trending Nov 27, 13:22 17
    - I only use small pans so have to break it in half to fit. -- nm - Meg Nov 27, 15:19 3
      - buy a bigger pot? -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:27 2
        
        I have bigger pots, I only *use* small ones. -- nm - Meg Nov 27, 15:33 1
        
        Don't do that! Use the bigger ones for spaghetti. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:35
    - are you serious? I'm not a BIT italian but come on. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:16
    - There's no reason to do it but I can't see the harm. I don't think it affects the cooking time. - Krusty Nov 27, 13:46 4
      - because pasta is about FORM, and the form matters. It interacts with the sauce. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:17 3
        
        I've eaten it both ways. There's no taste difference whatsoever. This is just a tradition and preference thing. -- nm - Inigo Nov 27, 15:46 2
        
        I don't even know what to say to this. It's the FORM. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 19:44
        
        It’s an eating with all of your senses thing. Good food doesn’t just taste good, it should look good, smell good, feel good, evoke memories, - Roger More Nov 27, 16:42
    - Italy got noodles from the Chinese and in China, they break their noodles to make them easier to eat *runs and hides from Krusty* -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 13:28 6
      - Yeah but in china all noodles are the same. In italy, the form MATTERS. it interacts with the sauce. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:20 1
        
        China has many different noodle types for different purposes, including different types of wheat noodles -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 16:21
      - It was developed independently. They didn't get it from China. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 13:44 3
        
        ever heard of Marco Polo? -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:20 2
        
        They were eating pasta long before Marco Polo went to China. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 19:38
        
        Pasta was introduced to Italy from North Africa a couple of hundred years prior. - Roger More Nov 27, 16:31

Wicked - my wife was skeptical of Grande, but turns out she LOVED her in the role and compared her performance to Robbie as Barbie -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 27, 12:27 4
- Aretha specifically requested Grande to sing at her funeral. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:28
- I wonder if the Swifties are furious that Grande gets this and Taylor got Cats. -- nm - con_carne Nov 27, 12:38 1
  - I think they would rather see Taylor play a good guy. -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 13:01
- Yep. She really nailed it. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Nov 27, 12:34
Michelle Steel (R) has conceded in CA-45. Currently losing by 613 votes. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 27, 12:25 5

  - wow, didn't know! I thought the biggest Viet population was in Houston. -- nm - loosilu Nov 27, 15:30
  - And yet Garden Grove elected a Caucasian mayor. I figured the Vietnamese vote was diluted by the 3 Nguyens and Phat Bui that were running. -- nm - Meg Nov 27, 15:15
  - they’ll just find a batshit crazy Vietnamese to run against him next time, alas -- nm - mr mooch Nov 27, 14:00
