I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.
The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.
- Comment on Australia’s bowel cancer rates are world’s highest for under-50s. Scientists wonder if the gut microbiome is to blame 1 day ago:
I feel like it’s something use to make food, like, idk, cyclodextrins or something.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
As a counterpoint, I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, and we started as a one-night-stand. It’s backwards from how it usually happens, but he was particularly cool so I took him to breakfast the next morning, and then we got to know each other better. We became FWB, broke it off, dated other people, then got back together for real and haven’t quit since.
Yes, sex can’t be the only reason for love, but you can start there and find mutual interest after.
- Comment on Ironically, people making fun of the "Gnu/Linux" copypasta is probably one of the main ways people know what Gnu is 3 days ago:
I thought gnu was another name for a wildebeest. How do you even put a wildebeest on your computer?

You don’t live where it snows or rains?
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 week ago:
Even in STEM. Who gets the Blue Origin job, the person with a 4.0 and zero references, or the person with a 3.5 that partied with Bezos in college?
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
Yeah, if we were putting billionaires against the wall, GabeN would probably be near the end of the line.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 week ago:
Honestly, this is why I’m always peeved when I hear parents telling their kids that school isn’t a social club. I followed that advice, only to find out that the real world cares more about networking than test scores. Whoops.

- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 week ago:
I’ve only played Witcher 3, and I thought it was obvious that it’s Ciri’s story being told from the perspective of the supporting cast, and that is an incredibly cool literary device.
- Comment on 7 for me 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been sleeping as 20 since I got chickenpox as a kid. The itchiness was completely unbearable, and I never liked how much pajamas bunch up when I toss and turn anyways. Now I only wear them on the rare night that it drops below freezing.
- Comment on Industrial Light & Magic's Chief Creative Promotes AI Slop During His TED Talk 2 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.
- Comment on Love this 2 weeks ago:
I remember patty-cake games being super popular in elementary school, and it switched to hacky sack games in late middle school through high school. I think the graph is accurate.

Man, they’re taking the “dark ages” part seriously.
- Comment on How are roundabouts made? 2 weeks ago:
You’re asking about something called surveying, if you want a term to search for. Modern surveying equipment uses lasers to measure the land, then they do a bunch of trig to create an accurate map. Once you have an accurate map that’s keyed to known reference points, you can design the roundabout. When you’re ready to build it, it’s just following the map and using the reference points to measure it back out.

- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 3 weeks ago:
Really, you pull a “what about wheelchairs” then turn around and talk about how people should pay more if they value not taking the stairs?

Edible microchips
Look at me, I’m the cheese now.

I don’t see why I should be okay with that either.

You’re not wrong about it being stuck in your head forever.
- Comment on Never gonna loosen them laces 4 weeks ago:
Usually because you were 7 and your mate told you it was a magic trick
- Comment on Never gonna loosen them laces 4 weeks ago:
I can’t help with wrecking the heels, but do you remember that trick from when we were kids? Where you can bite down on your fingers, then hook them together and pull, and it hurts like hell?
- Comment on "A watched pot never boils" is actually advice for keeping your pot from boiling. Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled. 4 weeks ago:
That’s probably why it’s stuck around now that we don’t have wood fired stoves, but lifting a lid to check on a pot really does cause heat loss and makes it take longer to boil.
