Yeah with veggies only and no noodle it stays solidly salad until 50%. The 80/20 veggie-water split is what separates dry salad from salad.

The noodle content just pushes a salad into a soup with less water content than the soup/broth interface does with salad. So clay of noodle.

It doesn’t mean most soups have noodles, it just means noodle content has a fairly overriding influence on how the, uh, soup is defined.

Think tuna salad, or chicken, or potato.

Keep adding water. The consistency then divides between broth and soup.

Roll it in your hand. If you can form a ball with the leftover material you’re likely in soup territory. If there’s nothing left over or there’s not enough consistency to form a ball it’s a broth.

…If you can form a ribbon with the ball it’s got some noodle content, I guess.

Eggs aren’t exactly hyperindustrial, but after the fall of the Qing dynasty entailed a lot of private acquisition to feed the foreign business interests flooding in.

I dunno if there ever was a monopoly on eggs for all of China, but maybe in the export industry though.

The lab work v field work divide transcends both politics and history.

A lot of times letting them talk and actually listening to what they have to say, they give it directly to you. If you acknowledge their dumb shit, they’re more likely to return the favor.

Like, helping a NASCAR fan get into EVs because of their absolute love of torque isn’t an unreal scenario. They’ll give you the roadmap.

Yes, but the beauty of it is that it plugs in Steam immediately. If you’re installing it on a machine that uses Steam and sometimes browses it is a one-stop shop.

I offloaded Windows 10 entirely, installed bazzite, and played Hollow Knight and the entire Dark Souls trilogy from the same installation on the same harddrive I’d had them on Windows. Didnt even need to reinstall.

To me that’s impressive. I only had a few crashes overall too.

I wonder if the study and data controlled for people’s parents being on Facebook.

He asks if they serve Celsius drinks.

Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.

Who is this guy again? I keep not caring enough to remember.

Something about the Vietcong? And Star Trek? There’s just no way of knowing.

So, like, the: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_network stuff?

In short: sewer socialism.

I had spent years street protesting the war in Iraq, and had grown tired of trying to build community and organize in a college town.

So I moved out into a deep rural (and red) part of the country and got a job working in Public Health. This was well before covid and I just started working with grant money to help people retrofit and upgrade their septic systems.

It was a government job and it did more good for more people than I think any damage I did to police or federal property.

And from there I kept working and seeing benefits of public health and infrastructure. There’s a lot to the state and government that I don’t like, but public infrastructure is the valid basis of a state.

The mod.

Inherent rage at corrupt systems.

But I am no longer really an anarchist like I was in ny youth. Too much of a socialist these days. The statism got me.

I’m fairly certain this was the original goal when the country was founded and the idea of states rights, but at some it feels like things got flipped on their heads.

Amongst other things: a Civil War.

I did a similar thing except it was a real interview I went to and then I took that job.

Psycholonials features very heavy clown imagery, including direct references to the Insane Clown Posse. This is a continuing trend in most if not all of Hussie’s work, and should worry all of us.

Fuckin’ magnets man.

I feel this. I used to work in a 1970s era courthouse building. Dimly lit and filled with archive boxes. Winding deadend corridors. My cubicle was undeniably my private workspace. Only office environment I kinda miss.

The quad-plex half-cubicle shared workspace that office moved to was garbage. A leading factor in my eventual departure actually. Work environment means a lot. Nothing beats remote work though.
