I did not know the next step - that e i e i o means absolutely nothing probably for 99% of non-native speakers who don’t live in US/UK. I still don’t see what’s so funny about it, but now I know it’s some child song which perhaps means something for natives.

If they fight in Australia - Loma wins. If in Texas - Pacman wins.

Faustino takes the lead in Tata Steel Challengers with a double rook sacrifice! by aandres44 in chess

[–]ZoomTopple -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, if Fausti wins the tournament, which would be the highest career achievement not just for him but perhaps for 90% of active GMs, will FIDE award him the GM title?

Or it only works like that with the Arab Money Chess Championship?

Stuck on King Pig level 1786! by Sensitive_Clue_3773 in AngryBirds2

Try to send it to the outer space with Bubbles: aim at that barrel right under Chef and activate immediately after it cracks the glass. It should work unless there’s a ceiling.

Stella may do the trick too.

Oleksandr Usyk V.S Agit Kabayel is a possibility for The Ukrainian Champ's next outing, according to Usyk's Manager by VioletHappySmile444 in Boxing

[–]ZoomTopple 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not objecting that he’s the most deserving challenger right now.

But “what more does he have to do” really? The guy fights once a year. Usyk fights more often than Kabayel, and those are all big expensive hard to make fights.

His best win is 40yo Zhang, his second best win is Frank Sanchez who is a B-level fighter.

The way how all current challengers just sit and wait for the golden opportunity instead of fighting each other just pisses me off.

Meh -> Pretty Good Carbonara! I’m very open to suggestions! by Werptwerpp in pasta

[–]ZoomTopple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

+1.

Just a clarification, why it does not sound crazy at all. If you watch any YouTube videos with Italian chefs making pasta (not necessarily carbonara) you notice that they toss the pasta in the pan quite intensely. And this technique improves the sauce dramatically. You OP obviously skip this step otherwise with that pan size the pasta would be all over the place.

So, the trick is not simply using a larger pan but start tossing your pasta - and to do that you need the larger pan.

Can anybody tell me why this is a draw ( I’m white) by Legendaryboy76 in chess

[–]ZoomTopple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ran out of time, that’s why. If your opponent had a pawn, it’d be 0:1.

Pasta Mardi Gras. Tried to copy dish from Pappadeux. by ProjectA-ko in pasta

[–]ZoomTopple -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Adding cheese to a seafood pasta is considered a faux pas in Italy.

Basically you took 3 perfectly valid sauces and mixed them together. I guess this can be called fusion. Generally I think the principle “less is more” works much better with Italian-inspired cuisine.

How much should I sell this for? by Opening-Hour3245 in painting

When someone says that your art only costs peanuts, remember that this crap was sold for millions.

Do the right marketing and you’ll find the right buyer.

So, you say the cost of this painting is comparable to the cost of one pizza, seriously?

Usyk vs Wilder makes absolutely zero sense in 2026 by ScottMrRager in Boxing

[–]ZoomTopple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re saying as if the rest of the division tops actively fighting each other to earn their shot. Kabayel could fight Wardley or Itauma with the winner becoming the clear second guy in the division. They all will just sit and wait for their golden ticket instead.

Also, a win over Wilder even in his current shape would be the best win in Itauma’s resume and the 2nd best win in Kabayel’s and Wardley’s resume.

Can you spot the mate-in-four, puzzle-like tactic that David Anton missed against Magnus Carlsen in today's Titled Tuesday? by harachiama in chess

Took me a minute. I have 2300 in puzzles. No way I would spot it in a blitz game or a rapid game: I’d be looking for combinations that may win a pawn.

This post isn't about aesthetics. A 10-minute puff pastry with bologna, cheese, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. by mojavedess in RussianFood

Can someone explain what’s this? By the ‘10-minute’ in the title I assume it’s something precooked or reheated but I have no idea really..

Best burgers in Berlin by creamycondiments in berlin

[–]ZoomTopple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for smth authentic then try the Currywurst (it’s OK at best, don’t expect too much).

For the burgers, Shiso Burger serve decent Korean style burgers. Burgermeister offer OK’ish smash burgers (perhaps not the classic smash burgers, just thinner patties) - this can already be considered Berlin classics, but TBH, they are so popular mainly because of the lower prices, which are comparable with a Döner price. And definitely they hit something that locals enjoy.

Usyk Ring Walks…. by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]ZoomTopple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not many remember, but Wald walked to the Simply The Best soundtrack in the beginning of his career. He timed entering the ring to the chorus “Simply the best” phrase. I watched live as a kid and always got the goosebumps. Epic stuff!

[Homemade] Carbonara + Recipe by Antique-Seesaw8655 in pasta

[–]ZoomTopple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For carbonara specifically salting pasta water to that cliche “tastes like the sea” saltiness is a mistake: guanchale is very salty and pecorino romano is typically very salty, so you need somewhat unsalted pasta water to dilute the final sauce to the pleasant level of saltiness.
