Equally Ambiguously Gendered Spouse of "What is the Hivemind?"

Oh, okay. What about the tube ones? I'm trying to keep my options open.
Well, you just reminded me of it. And now you're reminding me of my mom's herb garden. Rosemary, basil, thyme, mint, oregano... it's a smell to behold.

The tube ones are pretty good for that too, particularly depending on which "tube ones" you choose. Rigatoni, for instance, will sometimes be shallowly curved, which can allow it to hold the sauce, and better yet for that are the penne rigati with the little grooves along the sides.

Herb garden...mmmm! I don't have mint, I'll admit it

Though on second thought, I guess everyone is going to die, so you're right

Arcoss strange Eons
Even Death may Die

Mind you, I'm not a huge fan of the book. It's alright, but not my cup of tea.

For what its worth, I agree with Huxley in his letter to Orwell that his dystopia is more likely to come into being than the Oceania of 1984

Besides, a gram is better than a damn, and everybody belongs to everybody else!

Hey, congrats on level 2!

I like the groves. Penne Rigati -- I never remember the names of all the varieties of pasta. There are way too many. Even way too many flavors.

My mom is very proud of her garden, most of all the herbs. Two types of oregano, two or three types of mint... I forget what all is in there, I always leave some out.

As an optimist, I don't think either dystopia will occur.

I know the names of the pasta because I buy them all the time. I even know weird ones like Campanalle (and those bowties you mentioned are called Farfalle).

My grandfather used to have a huge garden, full of colourful flowers and ponds with Japanese koi, that constantly showed up in gardening magazines, and there was a small section for edible foodstuffs, as my grandmother was an accomplished cook. When she died, though, he had to sell the garden.

You didn't feel yourself getting more powerful, and able to take more hits?

Well, I know a few of them, but not as well as I should, probably. Have you seen the fish flavored pastas? Or the vegetable or fruit flavored pastas? They get rather creative.

Ah, what a shame. My mother's garden isn't that big, but it's full of flowers and herbs. She doesn't know a lot about gardening, but she's an amazing cook and the herbs are how she got into gardening.

... They're not supposed to actually be useful!

Yes but Ive done enough construction that having most of the supplies makes me want to build stuff.
That may also have something to do with the fact that I was touring a New Urbanist community this morning that is still in the process of being built.

Hmm...haven't seen the weird-flavoured ones. I just know the shapes, I guess. After that time when they actually asked pasta shapes as a trivia category and I got one wrong, I don't want it to happen again if it comes up again

Really with the 9month conver belt that oxygen starves the lower classes so they will be less intelligent?
Orwell seems kinder, and less technologically based (of course it has been many years since I read 1984)

Im caught up, more or less.
