No, no other culture gets so bent out of shape about it like Italians. Some Indian guy in England creates Chicken Tikka Masala and most Indians are like "yeah that's Indian food", some Italian guy creates Chicken Parm in America and Italians absolutely lose their fuckin minds when someone calls it Italian food.

Generally when other cultures talk about dishes, they're talking about styles of cooking, methods of preparation, not a specific set of immutable ingredients. An American can see someone putting onion rings and bbq sauce on a burger and still believe it to be a burger. If it were an Italian dish, they would insist it's only a burger if it has lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and ketchup, any other topping would render it something else, and you have to give it a new name. It's silly, and pretentious.

Thanks for the feedback!

I know Narnia has a strong fan base both secular and religious - so hopeful LEGO will open up the Narnia universe! There are so many potential sets and novel minifigs that could be built in this line - I think it would draw in LEGO fans from LOTR, Castle, Fantasy, etc!

In manufacturing “operate” can mean a lot of things. For this machine, they probably mix the ingredients, add the mixed ingredients to this machine, clear jams or other faults, and clean the machine at the end of a run.

Depending on the factory they may also run different compositions or different shapes of pasta for different products. The operator would have to know which transitions need what level of cleaning, and they would clean and change the die.

To give an idea, the southernmost tip of africa is 34.5 degrees south

The southernmost tip of South America is 55.9 degrees south.

The top of north america is 83.1 degrees north.

The top of europe is 71 degrees north.

Virtually all of alaska is more northern than this is southern

Canada doesn't even start til 41.6 degrees north. Maine goes 47 degrees north.

We mainly sort by part/function now that our collection has grown. i.e. 1x1 bricks, 1x2 bricks, slopes, hinge pieces, etc.

There are some exceptions to this for colors that we have more of (sorted by color and part/function).

We recently rebuilt some sets and it was a pretty smooth process compared to when we sorted by color alone.

I sell packaging equipment in the food industry, I have a lot of business with pasta specifically and you definitely need someone overseeing these machines. Fewer people than if you were to do it by hand of course but still need an operator.

How do you sort your lego? Our kid is turning 4 and loves lego, but over a month or two they all get broken. Yesterday I spent over 8 hours looking for pieces to rebuild his castle. I've been sorting by color, but still you gota look through 20000 lego pieces for a specific one.

Username checks out.

This is awesome, though I doubt the Lego company will make any set based off of something so explicitly Christian. Yes, they're doing some LOTR sets, but it's not a direct allegory like Narnia.

I bet your kids love it though! Great work!
