I know the Italian canon, being Italian myself. I was trying to point out that you can’t cook pasta above the boiling point. This thing should work fine in any case.

Gelification of the starches should happen at around 80C (although a bit slower); you can literally turn off the heating after it reached the boiling point, put the lid on the pot, and it will cook (but it should take ~1/2 minutes extr

Visual Basic for DOS is AWESOME. I briefly used it last year to make a Wordle clone for Dos. The 3D buttons in a TUI, event-based programming in DOS, the rich help system… just awesome.

I also can't help thinking of the "Melanie speaks" episode of 99% invisible [1]. Of course this only works for your "online persona", but still the idea of impacting how you are perceived by working on your voice...
