I quote this scene so often, one of the funniest. Hilarious movie.

- Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features 2 weeks ago:
I mean, they could still include those on the base model of the phone, but just officially support flashing Graphene for those who want to do it. I am reasonably certain the target markets for pre-installed apps/ads and people who would be interested in flashing Graphene are completely separate groups. Kind of like how a stock Pixel is basically Google/Gemini Spyware, but Thayer doesn’t matter to someone who buys one to install Graphene.

1TB SSD I bought at the end of 2024 for $47 is $142 now
12TB HDDs were $104 a piece at the same time and are now $300 each.
- Comment on Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... This one tries to break into the Cameraman's glass box 3 months ago:
Yeah this one certainly doesn’t look like it’s hunting at all - not saying it wouldn’t attack him if it could get to him, but it seems a lot more curious than aggressive.

Yeah, they are models for a stock photographer - www.istockphoto.com/photos/antonio-guillem
It’s pretty funny because all three of the models in the distracted boyfriend meme are used in a bunch of situations
The walking girl is the girlfriend’s dentist
The couple works together and the fallout is awkward
The dentist tries to apologize to hlthe girlfriend, but girlfriend only pretends to forgive her
Etc.

Yes, you’re correct but that’s why I said it was a “working” definition. When you’re a botanist (like many of my former professors) you still use the word vegetable in discussion. They would often teach us about local plants with indigenous uses using plain language like “the Chumash used the leaves of this plant as an important part of their vegetable intake”, rather than using some clinical term like “edible plant matter” or whatever.
I was only saying in these contexts, they definitely wouldn’t describe fruits as vegetables because fruit are a specific thing to a botanist. They definitely wouldn’t describe fungi as vegetables because they are also a specific thing to a botanist (not relevant 😂)
So in a scientific setting the word vegetable is still used, but it is mostly defined by what it’s not!

Great post, with one caveat
the closest thing to a definition we have for “vegetable” botanically is “literally all plant life and maybe also some fungi,”
I got my degree in Ecology and Evolution, and we always used a similar working definition but it was “edible parts of a plant which are not fruit.”
