There is a very large machine attached to what you see here. Using flour, water, and a lot of pressure it squeezes out the pasta.

I don't think a kitchen aid can do that. Not to this scale anyway.

I'm actually fine with positive news regarding the climate not being shared too much, as not nearly enough is done about climate change.

There's enough deniers around, you wouldn't want them to get more ammo for their "see? There's no climate problem" gun

The italian word for rifle is Fucile, Fusil is french.

And it has a different etymology than the english word.

The italian name comes from the word “focile” which referred to the flintlock system firearms used to have and it extended to be the generic name of the weapon family

Adam Ragusea did a video on the topic explaining the intricacies a bit better, and then did a very small test to see if he could taste a difference. If I recall correctly, he couldn't tell if it held the sauce any better, but hypothesized that the bronze die pasta would impart more starches to the pasta water, which would in turn result in a tastier or thicker sauce if one is partial to reintroducing their pasta water into the sauce.

Damn these Americanisms; I was stuck on an NYT crossword for so long because in my part of the world (as with everywhere other than America) it's called Fusilli.

... serves me right for doing an American crossword though.
