I find fettuccine a better use in every way if your dish requires straight pasta (not a huge fan of angel hair). Rotini is the shit when you have a sauce that is chunky but I also use it in mac and cheese - whenever I can really. Honorary mentions to cavatappi and penne as they do a great job of soaking up that sauce with their crevices. Them saucy crevices.

Along the east, rice noodle vermicelli is fantastic; much preferred to any angel hair any day when you can use a rice noodle. Kuey Teow noodles (flat noodles) I can gorge my weight on when prepared correctly. And do not overlook a good egg noodle in a killer broth.

This is in no way an exhaustive list but I find all of these easily in US cities!

But how do you assume that? Have you asked another species how different they are to us? It sounds like an equally far jump to say other species are vastly different as it is to say they are vastly similar to us. We just don’t know and the assumptions can be harmful.

On 3 Rpis and a NAS around my home:

• Nextcloud - Google replacement

• Actual Budget - YNAB type server that’s super simple and meets my needs

• Apache web server - portal to my projects

• PiHole - DNS pass/allow list

• PiVPN - Allows me to connect to my home VPN when abroad

• 2009Scape - A little RuneScape Private Server I turn on and off on my desktop when I’d like to afk at work

• Docker - A couple docker instances - one on my test pi I use to roll out onto my “prod” servers

• Backup server - 14TB backup with an offsite copy :D

• Joplin - Note-taking app - barely a server connected through Nextcloud

• Plex - Everyone knows about Plex - I’m thinking of switching to JellyFin

• rtorrent - kinda old-school compared to the *arr programs but I enjoy manually downloading all my media :)

Hope I’m not forgetting any!
