@LiberalLibrarian Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian pasta dish that has a rich and interesting history. The dish is named after Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian restaurateur who created the recipe in Rome in the early 20th century. Alfredo's original version of the dish consisted of fettuccine pasta tossed with butter and Parmesan cheese, creating a simple yet indulgent sauce. Alfredo's dish gained popularity both in Italy and internationally, attracting famous celebrities and tourists to his restaurant, Alfredo alla Scrofa. In the 1920s, American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks visited Alfredo's restaurant and fell in love with the dish. They brought the recipe back to the United States, where it became a hit among Hollywood celebrities and eventually spread to restaurants around the country. Over time, variations of Fettuccine Alfredo have emerged, with some recipes incorporating heavy cream, garlic, nutmeg, or other ingredients to enhance the flavor. Despite the variations, the essence of Fettuccine Alfredo remains a creamy, cheesy pasta dish that is beloved by many around the world.

@LiberalLibrarian Here is a simple and delicious recipe for Fettuccine Alfredo: Ingredients: - 8 oz fettuccine pasta - 1 cup heavy cream - 1/2 cup unsalted butter - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley for garnish Instructions: 1.

@th3j35t3r Where is Douglas Adams when we need him?

Sadly, the media are "influencers" as well.

@LiberalLibrarian

And this I highly agree.

Full registration would be a hard sell, but worthwhile.

Easier would be mandatory liability insurance based on the lethality of the weapon.

@GreenLady08 My library has an armed guard. Most don't. And if someone with an assault rifle comes in, my guard with a sidearm will be taken out first.

@corlin "Well-regulated." It's in the damned Constitution. That's all I'm asking.

Unless you're in a well-regulated militia, which you're not, fuck off. Your fetish puts the rest of us in mortal peril.

"But the bad guys have guns!!"

The bad guys have guns because we make it so fucking easy to get them. The cartels in Mexico are armed by guns from the US. We export our violence.

Again, I speak as a public employee. We always wonder, "Is this the day we'll get it?" And that's no fucking way to go through life. We just want to work.

No other advanced nation has the gun violence we have. None. And they are no less "free".

Yeah. Fuck guns. Your "right to bear arms" for whatever reason doesn't trump my right to go to work and wonder if the motherfucker I kick out today won't come back with a fucking AR-15 to kill everyone.

And yes, as a public librarian, I worry about this every fucking day.
