    They're both. The term vegetable can mean either a part of a plant that people eat, or in a culinary sense it can refer to savory plant based foods that excludes things like grains, legumes, nuts, etc. In either case tomatoes, being both an edible part of a plant and savory gets to be a vegetable.

    On a different level, botanically, not only is it a fruit, but it is a true berry.

    So yeah, it can be, and is both things depending on the how you're looking at it.

    I mean it's very crispy around the edges and it's got a nice focaccia like texture in the middle. Honestly it's great. I mean, it's not life altering or anything, but as regional pizza goes it's one of the better ones.

    You're paying for the content in the case of the newspapers. It is a similar cost to print on newsprint as to run a website. It saves them no money. Most of what you are paying for is for the journalism, writing, editing, etc. Content costs money.

    The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.

    Mold is a fungus. Same group as mushrooms, yeast, etc. Some mushrooms are edible and delicious. So are some molds. The mold in blue cheese is not the same as the kind that makes food inedible.

    Are you me? Seriously though, we're in an almost identical situation. How are people supposed to buy homes under these conditions? Prices are insane, rates are sky high. Our home value on paper went through the roof but we're never gonna see any of the value because we're basically stuck. The only effect the value increase has is that we pay more property tax. I can't imagine the difficulty younger millennials and Gen z are going to have getting a home.

    No doubt. Homemade is infinitely superior. Almost a different kind of food. Just comparing it to generic store brands.

    You should never ever in a million years find restaurants serving Kraft mac and cheese in America. That's wrong. It's a cheap food you fix up at home when you're feeling too lazy to cook for real. Most of us like it because we grew up eating it. Real Mac and cheese is so much better.

    Well I mean it's hard to compare. Homemade is clearly on another level. The boxed stuff is a very quick meal to put together out of the box. Homemade takes a while to do properly. I almost see them as like different foods.

    The system might suck ass, but having your car stolen isn't a small fucking inconvenience. Many people who get their car stolen are one big event, such as having their car stolen, away from being in serious financial trouble. You can lose your job because you can't get to work. I know a contractor who had his truck stolen with all his tools in it. He was basically fucked. We're not always talking about someone having their third BMW stolen. It's often easier to steal a beater car than a fancy one. Fuck car thieves. You're defending poor people stealing from people one incident away from being poor themselves. If we were talking about stealing from rich people or big businesses it's one thing. Stealing cars is likely hurting individuals who may or may not themselves be economically distressed.

    Well, I mean, to be fair, Hamas frequently does actually use hospitals and refugee camps as human shields. It doesn't make blowing up thousands of innocent people okay, but don't act like Israel is blowing up camps for no reason. They're doing it because Hamas are cowardly pieces of shit who hide behind children and sick people. Everyone is horrible in this except the innocent people dying in the crossfire.

    It's also like when a guy scams a tourist by insisting something is free but then demands a tip after they accept it. Like, oh yeah, this gift of Jesus dying for your sins is totally free, no charge... But hey, here's the tithe plate on Sunday.

    Are we buyers or sellers at the deadline this year?

    Simple question but it feels like a hard one to actually answer. We're basically a .500 team so far. We're 5 games away from a wild card spot, so not insurmountable at this point in the season but not super close either. Do we go try to trade for a big piece that puts us into the race? Or do we sell? It isn't like we need a complete teardown, that's not what I'm asking about. But we do have several veterans who will be free agents next year who we might be able to move, though only one, Teoscar, would have any real value. So what do you guys say, throw minor league value into a potential run when we're playing .500 ball, or try to grab some value by trading Teoscar and a couple underperforming vets?

    Pretty ridiculous honestly. Surprised he didn't get ejected, which is usually the penalty for this kind of intentional interference at first base. Wouldn't be surprised if this series gets chippy starting tonight.
