andreapaiolaon Has a Startup Found the Secret to Farming the Elusive Truffle?

Yes, it's a very strong flavor and obviously you could not like it. Not everything is for everyone. It's also difficult to use ("cook") right and it's perishable, so probably the taste of white truffle here in Italy on top of handmade fresh tagliatelle...

Never heard "pappardelle sul cinghiale"! Sort of slang, maybe.

Mai sentito parlare prima di pappardelle sul cinghiale, è un uso abbastanza dialettale mi sa.

Ovviamente non si può non concordare sul ragù. ;)

andreapaiolaon Ghost in the Shell Official Trailer

For me nipples doesn't matter... probably it's rated PG-13.

In USA animations aim for G and PG... so not so bad as possible...

events diverging from what was expected after the ejection of the back heat shield and parachute. This ejection itself appears to have occurred earlier than expected, but analysis is not yet complete.

The thrusters were confirmed to have been briefly activated although it seems likely that they switched off sooner than expected, at an altitude that is still to be determined.

andreapaiolaon Wait continues for European Schiaparelli Mars lander

All good for the orbiters!

No news for the lander.

See you tomorrow morning.

andreapaiolaon Wait continues for European Schiaparelli Mars lander

18:53 CEST: The ExoMars/TGO spacecraft completed its critical orbit-insertion manoeuvre at Mars today and its signals were received by ground stations at 18:34 CEST, just as expected. The timely re-acquisition indicates the engine burn went as planned, and mission controllers are waiting for a detailed assessment from the flight dynamics specialists at ESOC to confirm it.

Teams monitoring the Schiaparelli lander continue waiting for indication of the lander’s progress. Engineers are waiting for the next signal receipt slot, which will be provided by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which will overfly the Schiaparelli landing site between about 18:49 and 19:03 CEST, and downlink any received signals at around 20:00 CEST.
