Honestly, I think a big part of what makes this funny, to me anyway, is the “slighted” phrasing. It’s kind of an underused/archaic usage, so it sounds inherently a little funny in this modern context. But it also carries the implication that the original wrongdoing that they’re attempting to punish wasn’t very serious. Which actually makes sense, as this isn’t that annoying, just mildly inconvenient. It will still get hot in there, if you’re worried about food cooking unevenly, just turn it 180° halfway through.

- Comment on President Trump threatened to break up Nvidia, didn't even know what it was — 'What the hell is Nvidia? I've never heard of it before' 4 weeks ago:
Given all the possible context, I still don’t see the headline as misleading 🤷♂️ idk what to tell y’all. Typically “breaking” news headlines are written in present tense “Trump threatens…”, so any headline that starts “Trump threatened…” I just automatically assume to have happened sometime in the last 10 or 15 years, while bearing at least a semblance of relevance to current events. Like this one. It’s definitely a nothingstory, but it doesn’t read to me as a decrease in journalistic quality.

You very conveniently left out the “But taking him at his word” part of my comment, which kind of negates everything you’re complaining about. See, that’s a good example of taking a quote out of context and changing the meaning, unlike this headline. I do agree that we shouldn’t report onanything he says though, just report on the administration’s actions.

If it was so clear, we wouldn’t be having this conversation because I disagree. Like I said, even all that context doesn’t actually give any context because nothing Trump says really has any meaning. When he says something happened “in the past”, it could mean it happened at literally any time previously, it could mean he expects it to happen soon and as such is an inevitability so he just says it already happened, it could mean it never happened and never will. But even taking him at his word, nothing from that “context” makes me any less likely to believe he found out what Nvidia was minutes before taking the stage. And even if he did know what Nvidia was “in the past”, he did try to break it up without knowing what it was, so where’s the contradiction? I don’t see how that headline is implying any kind of timeframe, inaccurate or otherwise.

Trying to put Trump quotes into context is like trying to read a Pollock, it’s not possible and it’s not supposed to be. Your interpretation really didn’t change any of the meaning for me, and it certainly didn’t contradict the headline.

For me it’s more about solid-to-liquid ratio, soups are often “thick” but still liquidy overall. Stews are cooked down until there’s basically no broth, essentially just a gravy. My personal distinction is that stews can be eaten on a plate, soup can’t be.

It might be a stew when it’s done, served as pictured, I’d call it a soup. Sorry bout it

4°C is 39.2°F, which, at least in the imperial system, is less than 40. And yeah, different governments have different regulatory standards, this is very very very common. Certainly the difference between 40° & 43° is less crucial than the difference between 40° & 100° and of course all foods (and the bacteria involved in their spoilage) are different (some things are considered safe up to 45°F for instance), but you have to plan for the worst-case scenario to be safest. And as I’ve said elsewhere, this is the industry standard, which is naturally (in America at least) driven by fear of liability litigation more than science, so it’s bound to be stricter than is perhaps normally necessary.

And most meat dishes, egg dishes, pretty much anything containing dairy, most raw/cooked produce and produce-containing dishes, opened canned goods, etc, etc. Way more than just “starchy foods”
