@fwiles @revsys Wait I thought free pizza shuttle was already part of the benefits package

Don’t fuck with us or we’re gonna put marinara on fish and chips

The BBC have declared war with Italy.

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

Proud to see Italy innovate once again

Italian cyclist Michael Guerra uses his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to adopt a “plank” position and overtake his competitors.

@willmcgugan Listen, we’ve been through a pandemic. There are no rules no more. Use garlic. Use bacon. Use milk. Make the carbonara you want to be. Nobody can judge you.

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

@fwiles But most importantly, how did you pronounce it?

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

But also like, I’ve never had to tell my computer’s family that I had mistakenly formatted their relative’s hard drive

@CiroBergonzi @curiousoctopus @Canale5Tv I guarantee you there a lot of countries that don’t have women in bodysuit on public broadcast at dinner time

@melaniearbor Our software (Ellington) was used by pretty much most midsized online newspaper in the Midwest. Someone (me) had the brilliant idea to pgdump the prod db. Rows got locked. The 4th estate started to call in. The day was saved with a ^C

Solution to #650.

Those two vehicles are marked in a different way, but that's just to trick you. There's nothing special about them.

L, E, N, R

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

I have seen many American friends flabbergasted by how we drive in Italy, not knowing that we have different rules when it gets to 4-ways Stop. 🧵

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

This is a good one. "Filobus" is Italian for "Trolley", IE basically a Bus on wires. #650

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

Solution to #642:

Tram always goes first, because it's on rails.

T, A, O, M

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

Cannot miss one with a Tram #642

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

Solution to #660: H, D, B. This is a boring one.

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

#660

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

I should note literally every Italian gets #617 wrong on their first try.

[Flavio Curella @fcurella]

Solution to #617: N starts crossing, and STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. Then R, then A, then N finishes crossing.

If you were N and didn't stop in the middle of an intersection (bc why would you?! That's crazy!), people will HONK at you madly, especially Mx. R.
