It's very hard to find stuff about SAT solving, you just get "how to master your SATs"

@juliank bonus points if your SAT solver ranks solutions in a range of 400 to 1600

apt-cache can't tell you here why pbuilder is installed:

$ aptitude why pbuilder
i ansible-role-devel Depends ubuntu-dev-tools
i A ubuntu-dev-tools Recommends pbuilder | cowbuilder | sbuild

$ apt-cache why pbuilder
pbuilder:amd64=0.231build1 -> pbuilder:amd64

That's because pbuilder is autoremovable under the current solver3 regime, so it didn't find a reason to keep it - it picked sbuild to satisfy the Recommends above (as sbuild is manually installed).

Getting triggered each time I go to an Italian place and they pronounce pistacchio wrong. It's pi-stak-kio (/piˈstakkjo/).

Sorry but if you work in an Italian restaurant you should learn to pronounce the words correctly.

As a helper, this is the Italian version of πιστάκιον. That might make it more clear to you if you can't follow the Italian pronunciation from the spelling.

@juliank this is great, because a Google search for the etymology turns up results claiming both pistacchio and pistaccio for Italian, pistacium for Latin which is hella ambiguous, and "pistatxo" in Catalan which is NOT ambiguous.

The English pronunciation is definitely with ʃ
