ako lepšie variť cestoviny let’s talk rules of engagement. For every sauce, there’s a perfect shape, and there are some guidelines for the pairings: The chunkier the sauce, the stubbier the pasta (little ear-shaped orrechietti with sausage and broccoli). The thinner the sauce, the thinner the noodle (long and skinny capellini with garlic and butter). The thicker, the thicker (spaghetti…

Democracy of convenience, not of choice: why is Eastern Europe different There are, in my opinion, two considerations that are almost never taken into account when the reluctance, or outright refusal, of East European countries to accept African and Asian migrants, many of them Islamic, is discussed. They are the history of these countries over the past two centuries, and…

in praise of mediocrity But there’s a deeper reason, I’ve come to think, that so many people don’t have hobbies: We’re afraid of being bad at them.

Lego Wants to Completely Remake Its Toy Bricks It wants to eliminate its dependence on petroleum-based plastics, and build its toys entirely from plant-based or recycled materials by 2030.

Ministerstvo školstva, vedy, výskumu, športu a stravovania Cena je pomerne ľahko odhadnuteľná. Ide o dotáciu 1,20 eura na každý obed pre približne pol milióna detí, pričom teraz už štát platí obedy asi desatine detí. Navyše to teda bude v porovnaní so súčasnosťou stáť 100 miliónov eur ročne. To je až pätina súčasných výdavkov na základné školstvo, čiže by šlo o dramatický skok o sumu, ktorá…

Najprv na tému posledných týždňov: Tá kniha… tak tá kniha je už vonku z hlavy. Nie je ešte na papieri, ale v nedeľu v noci… hm, no dobre, v pondelok nad ránom… sme ju odovzdali. Teraz ju pozerá editor a nám zostali také milé činnosti ako doladiť obálku, vyrobiť index, škrípať zubami, koľko chýb tam ešte ostalo… hm, a pustiť…
