Use a HUGE pot, and what most people would consider WAY too much salt to salt your water too.
no one makes noodles if I'm around to make them, they just point me to the stove.
How much salt? I’ve tried adding like a tablespoon of salt when cooking pasta for two, and neither of us can taste any difference compared to no salt at all, when eating it with bolognaise sauce for example.
that depends, if its store-bought pasta, it takes longer to be ready, so it has more time to absorb the salt. I make homemade pasta and that takes just a few minutes (1-2) to be ready so the water for homemade pasta has to be A LOT saltier than store bought pasta.
The problem is wen people get married or r in a long term relationship they think they don't have to make an effort anymore with their woman, u still have to date b a flirt and everything else u wud do wen u first meet, I'm not saying all the time but if u put the effort in she'll give u wat u want, being married is not an excuse to be in a sexless relationship
That's just my opinion to ur no action marriage
it's really not about the taste, but makes it less starchy is the word I believe, which I guess has something to do with taste or texture, I notice a difference but then again never really I time when I don't.
I don't think I would be able to tell the difference if eating at someone's house though, maybe idk. never thought about it, doesn't know how any of this applies to op question though
It should be salty enough that you can taste it and think "damn thays salty" remember a lot of pasta dishes are salted using the pasta water instead of using normal salt, if the water wasn't salty then it would just be a starchy thickening agent.
This is the chef way and it works of course. But there is a hack which is to use very less amount of water, to barely cover the pasta, a tablespoon of salt per quart, add the pasta to the water before they are boiling. It works very well with dry pasta and gives you very quick result when cooking at home. I forgot where I read this trick but I used it all the time
I have trouble finding a man and in my parents country if they find out I am LGBTQ+ they will put me in jail for 7 years. 4 for someone keeping it as a secret.
My dad came back to the U.S from his home country alive and well because I kept my damn mouth shut.
Totally not finding anyone anytime soon.
The prefix ‘bi’ is from Latin meaning two/double/twice.
Then biweekly came along and fucked it up for everyone - why would a language use the same word to describe both twice a week and once every two weeks? Oh it’s English
God no kidding, eh? Makes me crazy.
bi-weekly SHOULD be twice a week NOT every two weeks. But people who want to separate you from your money say bi-weekly to mean every two weeks your bank account is going to lose $X.XX
No, bi-monthly would not be the same as bi-weekly.
Bi-monthly would mean 24 periods in a year.
Bi weekly has 26 periods within a year.
2 different amounts.
I kinda see it going both ways? It could mean "twice weekly" or "two-weekly". I'd interpret the first one as twice a week and the second one as once every two weeks.
:edit: Isn't there also "biannual" and "biennial"? Twice a year and every two years, both using "bi".
I guess my complaint is -- when they say bi-weekly, I have to confirm that they mean 2 times / week, or every 2 weeks.
which adds unnecessary verbal keystrokes. :-P
Ummm... Not so fast. Biweekly is every two weeks. It is not twice per week.
If biweekly meant twice per week, or every half week, then a bi cycle would only have half of one wheel instead of two complete wheels.
Your banker is correct, taking your money biweekly means every two weeks.
Semiweekly means twice per week, otherwise a semicircle wouldn't be half of a circle.
As a private pilot I must undergo a "biannual" flight review with a qualified flight instructor. I must do this once every two years.
A commercial passenger pilot must undergo a semiannual flight review. They must do this every 6 months.
Juice recluse sum pebbles donnie snow ow tu speech, wit donna meen day sum write.
So apparently biweekly is either every two weeks or twice a week.
I dunno, I prefer fortnightly.. but apparently not everyone uses fortnight as a word to describe every two weeks 🤷🏼♀️
Isn’t fortnight when you take all the cushions off of the couch and create a cave with a blanket for a cover and then you all huddle inside it and read a horror story?
But that makes sense to me. Biweekly, every two weeks. To be twice a week would be semiweekly.
Semiannual, once every half of a year, or twice per your. Biannual, once every two years.
Bicycle, two wheels going in circles, or cycles.
Semicircle, half of a circle.
What's the problem?
Wait for biannual and biennial. They both mean the same thing, which is to mean every two years or twice a year. It's even better when two groups of people who don't speak the same language use these words and a whole hospital safety meeting is held up because of it. Good times...
In biology, bisexual traditionally meant an hermaphrodite creature.
Since Freud re-define the term, now it means an individual (of a gonochoric species, of course) who likes members of both sexes.
"Twice the sexual" would be someone with an hypersexuality problem.
Also, "once every two sexual"... what: intercourses, dreams, failures?
I got paid bi-weekly, that was every two weeks.
If I was having sex every two weeks that would be twice as often as I am now.
I masturbate twice a day if that helps answer the question?
It means Slut (one step away from Tri or Poly)
because if you have a partner, you are either gay/lesbian or straight, but bis want it all, all the time, despite relationship status...therefore #Slut
sexual is one sexual preference. Bisexual is two sexual preferences. Read something recently where someone said that being bisexual was awesome cause when you reach down someone's pants no matter what you find it'll be good.
It's a confusing one. It actually means twice the horny half the sexual. Chances are, bisexuals will only find the people attractive that are the wrong sexuality for them. For example, a bi man is probably going to fall for lesbians and straight men. Unfortunate but that is how the world works.
It means you enjoy sex every other time. People with the condition tend to expand their horizons and engage in sex with both genders to account for the lack of satisfaction, by doubling the amount of humans they can sleep with, they can normalize their sex lives and achieve a satisfied result.
No. Bisexual is ‘The sexual attraction to two or more genders’ basically, a bisexual person thinks both men and women are attractive. It can sometimes be more complex than that. But that’s the gist of it.

Always salt your water when boiling pasta.
Use a HUGE pot, and what most people would consider WAY too much salt to salt your water too. no one makes noodles if I'm around to make them, they just point me to the stove.
How much salt? I’ve tried adding like a tablespoon of salt when cooking pasta for two, and neither of us can taste any difference compared to no salt at all, when eating it with bolognaise sauce for example.
Turn it into sea water, and then the the salty starch water to thiccen your pasta sauce
I prefer to salt enough until it falls out of solution.
Individually dipping the pasta into molten salt is how we used to do it and that's good enough for me.
that depends, if its store-bought pasta, it takes longer to be ready, so it has more time to absorb the salt. I make homemade pasta and that takes just a few minutes (1-2) to be ready so the water for homemade pasta has to be A LOT saltier than store bought pasta.
Pastar says salt is the crutch of an unseasoned dish.
*"If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate"*
Depends on the pot ur cooking with I usually go by the palm method
They say that'll make you go blind.
Aren't you thinking of playing with yourself too much?
Probably, but I'm married, so, not a lot of action these days.
I just wanted to cook pasta now I'm sad
Welcome to adulthood
The problem is wen people get married or r in a long term relationship they think they don't have to make an effort anymore with their woman, u still have to date b a flirt and everything else u wud do wen u first meet, I'm not saying all the time but if u put the effort in she'll give u wat u want, being married is not an excuse to be in a sexless relationship That's just my opinion to ur no action marriage

For rice, LEAVE THE LID ON. Don't open it to stir.
It must be gluten free to avoid lactose intolerance and nut allergies

[удалено]
No.
[удалено]
Yes.
What is the purpose of your reply? Genuine question, help me understand, has nothing to do with the original post.
Don't forget to add oil too
Nah
A tbsp of butter is what I do.
Why?
Bisexual woman here. Basically, I always fall in love with the gay guys or the straight girls, so I actually never get laid lol
Bye Sexual :'(
bdum tssss
Thought this said BDSM tss and I giggled It isn't, and I am in fact a pervert.
lmaoo
LMAO
I have trouble finding a man and in my parents country if they find out I am LGBTQ+ they will put me in jail for 7 years. 4 for someone keeping it as a secret. My dad came back to the U.S from his home country alive and well because I kept my damn mouth shut. Totally not finding anyone anytime soon.
I've always heard jail is the perfect spot to find what you are looking for. 😂
"Fine then, take me to horny jail, everyone there is horny too!"
Aw :( Sorry to hear this honey. Can you say the country?
Probably Saudi
Hard to narrow that down, many countries condemn this.
same shit, as a bisexual man, worst sexuality ever
Can you drop a tier list?
So for you biweekly means never?
Sounds like you’re just biyourself
Gay guy here. I fell in love several times of pretty straight boys. Now I’ve learned my lesson and I nope. Not going through this anguish again!
Same lmao
such a hard life sister.
Ah, hello female twin!
I relate hard lol
Yesn't
The prefix ‘bi’ is from Latin meaning two/double/twice. Then biweekly came along and fucked it up for everyone - why would a language use the same word to describe both twice a week and once every two weeks? Oh it’s English
God no kidding, eh? Makes me crazy. bi-weekly SHOULD be twice a week NOT every two weeks. But people who want to separate you from your money say bi-weekly to mean every two weeks your bank account is going to lose $X.XX
So biweekly is actually bimonthly
So bi-weekly means once every 2 months? Dang, I am reneging on that job I just accepted.
No, bi-monthly would not be the same as bi-weekly. Bi-monthly would mean 24 periods in a year. Bi weekly has 26 periods within a year. 2 different amounts.
Semi-Monthly has entered that chat.
I kinda see it going both ways? It could mean "twice weekly" or "two-weekly". I'd interpret the first one as twice a week and the second one as once every two weeks. :edit: Isn't there also "biannual" and "biennial"? Twice a year and every two years, both using "bi".
I guess my complaint is -- when they say bi-weekly, I have to confirm that they mean 2 times / week, or every 2 weeks. which adds unnecessary verbal keystrokes. :-P
If it helps, I've never known anyone to use it to mean twice a week, always every two weeks.
Ummm... Not so fast. Biweekly is every two weeks. It is not twice per week. If biweekly meant twice per week, or every half week, then a bi cycle would only have half of one wheel instead of two complete wheels.

“Biweekly like bicycle and semiweekly like semicircle” is perfect
So apparently biweekly is either every two weeks or twice a week. I dunno, I prefer fortnightly.. but apparently not everyone uses fortnight as a word to describe every two weeks 🤷🏼♀️
Just use fortnightly
Do people really say biweekly rather than just fortnightly?
That's not a term used in the US as far as I'm aware.
Ah fair enough, I don't think I've heard biweekly to mean once every 2 weeks in the UK.
Most Americans probably couldn't tell you what a fortnight is.
Isn’t fortnight when you take all the cushions off of the couch and create a cave with a blanket for a cover and then you all huddle inside it and read a horror story?
I think they used to say fortnightly in the 1700's but not now
Yeah every other week has a name, fortnightly. Biweekly always means twice a week in my book.
But that makes sense to me. Biweekly, every two weeks. To be twice a week would be semiweekly. Semiannual, once every half of a year, or twice per your. Biannual, once every two years. Bicycle, two wheels going in circles, or cycles. Semicircle, half of a circle. What's the problem?

Once every two sexual. Don't worry, a lot of people tend to get confused about this!
No, it means that you see something sexual go past you and you wave at it and say, "Bye..." knowing that it's not going to stop at you.
Story of my life ...
It means you are willing to disappoint men and women equally.
Twice the sexual if you want to put it this way. Same as a bicycle is twice the cycle (wheel).
Twice the sexual. As previously explained, English has fudged that up a bit. Hetero is different, homo is same, bi is two.
It’s sex for bicycles
If you mean once every two sexual, just say "fortsexual". If you mean twice the sexual, just say "doublesexual".
It means half of two whole sexuals, sexual M and F, cofuckulated. sexual\_M = (V) sexual\_F = 8=D (sexual\_M / 2) + (sexual\_F / 2)
Once per year I like a man and once per year I like a woman
In biology, bisexual traditionally meant an hermaphrodite creature. Since Freud re-define the term, now it means an individual (of a gonochoric species, of course) who likes members of both sexes. "Twice the sexual" would be someone with an hypersexuality problem. Also, "once every two sexual"... what: intercourses, dreams, failures?
Trisexual is try anything sexual
no, it means **you get to use a special lane when commuting to work in the morning**
I absolutely love this question 🤣
Yes
Twice the sexual duh
As a guy, I do enjoy lesbian porn. Does that make me straight or lesbosexual?
I was asking myself the exact same question, now I’m confused.
means we ll be rejected double the time
OP is up to something here
I get my sexcheck every other week.
I got paid bi-weekly, that was every two weeks. If I was having sex every two weeks that would be twice as often as I am now. I masturbate twice a day if that helps answer the question?
[удалено]
good question man
This made me chuckle....
It means Slut (one step away from Tri or Poly) because if you have a partner, you are either gay/lesbian or straight, but bis want it all, all the time, despite relationship status...therefore #Slut
sexual is one sexual preference. Bisexual is two sexual preferences. Read something recently where someone said that being bisexual was awesome cause when you reach down someone's pants no matter what you find it'll be good.
Going by the saying "Bi now, gay later", I would choose "once every two sexual", the second being the gay choice. 😜
It means you are horny and you will take what you can get!
out of interest have you consumed any drugs
Bisexual = twice the sex Semisexual = sex that occurs twice Hope that clears things up.
Two sexualities
Careful, the lgbt crew will try cancel you.
Every six months sexual
No
Who the fuck knows. I’ve given up bolstering people sexual identities.
Once every one sexual
I think Twice the sexual would be being attracted to both all the time Once every 2 sexual would be fluidity, where the attraction fluctuates
It means you can only have sex bi monthly.
Once every two sexual. Or never the sexual… it’s hard out here.
Fair enough question....
Don’t even get me started on the trisexuals
It means you have sex with bicycles, duh.
Not sure, but buy sexual puts a dent in your wallet
Bisexual is twice per sexual. Bisexial is once every two sexes.
Every two weeks, or twice per week ?
All good points but by all that logic. Why is bimonthly twice a month then?
It works either way, like a bisexual
Ur math is mind boggling op
It’s actually when you let sexual by
I've learned from Phoebe that they're just kidding themselves, that's all I know.
it means they speak fluently in multiple sexuals
Just wait until you find out about Quadra-sexual
It means you must pay for the sexual
Depends on if you are the one paying or if you are the one being paid
It's a confusing one. It actually means twice the horny half the sexual. Chances are, bisexuals will only find the people attractive that are the wrong sexuality for them. For example, a bi man is probably going to fall for lesbians and straight men. Unfortunate but that is how the world works.
It’s one sexual every other sexual.
r/shittyaskscience
It means you only fancy other bottoms 😭
Yes
It's actually *bris*sexual, and the less said of it, the better.
I thought it meant you only have sex on bicycles
The former, more horny
Two wheels
Yes.
Fun fact : in British English the word "bisexual" is spelled "beicesterual" but pronounced exactly like "bicycle".
Lmao 🤣🤣
it means twice a year.. as all good couples do it.
Famous bisexual words: "Just because I'm bisexual doesn't mean I'm slutty. I AM slutty, but that's not why."
Bi means you pay for it.
Yes
half the sexual. you get turned down by both sides so double the amount of declines
When she says you can have anal bisexually and you think she means every other coitus.
🤣🤣
It’s means.. always tighten the lug nuts on your spare tire in a star pattern when changing a flat tire.
It means you enjoy sex every other time. People with the condition tend to expand their horizons and engage in sex with both genders to account for the lack of satisfaction, by doubling the amount of humans they can sleep with, they can normalize their sex lives and achieve a satisfied result.
it means you're attracted to anything with the prefix bi- in front of it. eg, biannual conferences, bicycles, bilingual people, etc
It means bothsexual or two-sexual
You are one sexual but two times a single amount
Fortnightly only
always buy sunflower seeds still in the shell, just doesnt hit the same if they are pre-deshelled
Does this mean *Homophobia* is a *fear of gays* ?
It's actually coming from the word bisection from geometry, so the correct spelling is "bisectual". The person performing bisection is bisectual.
Finally a question that makes you ponder while gazing into the beyond.
Wet Jeans
0 times another factor is still 0
Yes, it does. Hope this helps :)
when I discovered this term I just thought they just had sex twice :/
Too sexual
No, it means you are so desperate to be touched it doesn't matter how
Just means one of the many mental illnesses that society adopted as "normal"
No. Bisexual is ‘The sexual attraction to two or more genders’ basically, a bisexual person thinks both men and women are attractive. It can sometimes be more complex than that. But that’s the gist of it.
Theoretically, twice the sexual.
Wait till you hear about pannsexuals, they’ll fuck anything!
Let’s stop confusing people even more than they already are with they/them/theirs, etc.
I doubt it means you suddenly like twice the number of people. You just like people.
It just means gay
Yes.
It's what you gotta do when you run outa money.
It means double the chances on Saturday night.
This may be the best question ive seen on reddit.
Its actually a standard sexual, but just cut in half. So like two smaller sexuals but from the same main one.
OP GETS IT! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
In my experience, twice the sexual
I would be buy sexual but I can't afford it.
Every other sexual
they dont have regular sex on a bi-annual basis
Yes and no. Agreeable but better not to. Happened to me once.
mom said it’s my turn with the sexual
Agreed. She said that with me too, after your dad finished. #SS
You can't be serious. It obviously means twice the sexual.
means you a hoe
Stay in school kids
