Sure, that’s why sugar is added, but it doesn’t have to be. The point is to remove free water (water that bacteria can use, I don’t know the English expression for that), and you can do that by:

1. adding more sugar

2. cooking it for a longer time

3. adding pectin (either store-bought or from natural sources)

Of course it depends on the kind of fruit, but it’s quite rare to have more sugar than fruit, even without pectin or longer cooking time.

I might misunderstand your comment since English is not my mother tongue, but worth regarding what? If you need a poem, an engineer might be worthless; if I need a bridge, I wouldn’t call a poet.

The greatest ecologist and the patient in coma have the same worth as in “both have the same right to live, to be happy, etc.”.

I’m not sure your conclusion necessarily follows from the premise. There are aspiring writers who care about writing and/or publishing, and writers who care about literature. The formers usually are weaker readers. However, most of the readers don’t want to become writers.

I understand what you’re saying, but I read that phrase in a different way.

Let’s say you have two ways of doing the same thing: both work, both are legit and neither introduce GC bugs. The only difference between the two is that one can be verified by the compiler while the other can’t, so you are stuck with solution no. 1 although both would work.

To phrase it differently: the code that gets verified by the compiler is safe, but is all safe code verifiable by the compiler?

I’m not implying that’s the case, but that’s what I feel the author is saying.

I’m sure you’re aware that it _greatly_ depends on the region you’re living in. The fact that consultori are for reproductive health doesn’t mean that there are no obiettori: for some of them the purpose of those structures are exactly to prevent abortions. There are many accounts of women who were pushed to not interrupting a pregnancy.

That’s exactly what “horoscope” means in western astrology, which only uses solar system’s planets + the sun.

I can’t, sorry, there’s no edit button, I guess because of low karma. Maybe the mods (or who changed it) can revert it to the old title.

Yes, the title has been changed. The one I posted clearly said "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation”.

I have a 10€/day rule: if I want to buy something that costs 120€, I have to be sure of wanting it for 12 straight days.

That doesn’t apply to emergencies, of course.

This is my only complaint. Most of the websites work fine, but others get stuck. I don’t know if Wipr 2 solved the issue.

It appears so, but that 50$ doesn’t keep going. What happens, for example, when the grocery gets robbed? That 50$ becomes 0$. When money’s involved, whether it’s debit/credit or cash, there’s always a money management cost involved, and cash usually has a much higher cost than debit or credit.

Are you saying this because there’s a link between the two?

I thought the reference simply was the word “book” in Italian.

But also Saramago, Gadda, García Márquez, or Victor Hugo and his 800+ words sentence. Stream of consciousness usually has long paragraphs, but it’s quite common in other genres (I feel like genres is not the right word for it. Techniques?). Popular fiction is the only one that usually avoids long sentences/paragraphs/chapters.

“Stray information” sounds good, though.

It’s the same in Italian. It comes from László Bíró.
