Each piece (on its' own) will not work. Blend parts of them together.... who knows. I think that there are some good ideas there.

You don't see a problem here, isn't?

That is just break and mortar, trial and error method.

Yawn.

Another word -- "doing SAME thing again and again, without success..."

Did you forget what it mean? Coloqually.

;-P

//Nietzsche challenged the traditional notion of truth, arguing that it's not a fixed, objective reality, but rather a human creation shaped by perspective and power dynamics. He suggested that "truth" is often used as a tool to enforce a particular point of view or power structure.

Well. Cultural differences.

In my culture we have separate words for such truth as described here (like in soviet newspaper called Pravda/Truth) and one you call "absolute truth" there.

Maybe that is the reason of your problems?

Just try to think about it? If there nothing truthfull, if everything murky and fuzzy... then your feet , your thoughts always stuck in a quicksands of doubts.

Means. You need to CHOOSE something as being Truth, eventually... and inevitable.

I did it. That's why I saying that I know what you doing here, in this blog -- because that's the same what I was doing. Some time ago.

Brother pastafarian? ;-p

Man was not created in the image of just ANY pasta.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

And pasta just doesn't assemble itself. It must first assemble every piece that constitutes a pasta machine before a pastafarian can turn the crank and get macaroni or vermicelli.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Each pasta machine must be slightly different if one is to create the perfect pasta.

When I was younger I used to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory... there was one in San Jose... and another in Vancouver that I ate at. The pasta was excellent.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

They probably had a very expensive pasta machine.
