    125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too

    Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco

    Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I’m not a big fan

    There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find

    That’s all, thank you for coming to my TED talk

    Nice data, but I think we should take a broader view too:

    https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?end=2023&locations=RU-IN&start=2019

    I semi randomly picked India because it is part of BRICS and had a similar economic trajectory: It is quite interesting playing with all those nobs and labels.

    In this context I think PPP - which you showed - is a good indicator of the internal quality of living, but as far as I understand it, it has an hard time showing the difference in quality and standards of the consumer products between countries, so a dip in nominal GDP is an interesting context with the PPP adjusted rise. Less expensive things, because they are less regulated?

    Aside from that Russia has almost completely pivoted to a war economy which, as far as I know, tends to give a big initial boost but it stresses and makes the real (for lack of a better term) economy crash in the long run.

    What do you think about this? It is an interesting topic.

    Considering you seem to dislike the whole concept of Bots, isn’t the Bot toggle in the Lemmy profile exactly what you want?

    It auto ignores all posts and comments made by accounts marked as Bots. Sure, the owner of the account has to correctly mark it, but I feel that can easily be solved by reporting unmarked bots.

    But I’m interested, if you would like to expand on it, how would you make a bot opt-in?
    The only way I could think of is through PMs, but that would be cumbersome, and generally unfit for purpose, for all the involved parties.
