Stovetop

Not gonna lie, I'd still love to eat that donut.

Should've used one of those photos of McDonald's where they look at an ad for a menu item and then show a sad photo of the real thing.

I mean you could eat a pizza and eat your daily serving of vegetables, but despite the memes from 10 years ago I don't think anyone would seriously consider a pizza to be a vegetable.

You could also just take vitamins and fiber supplements and do the same thing. If you drink a smoothie of multivitamins and metamucil, have you eaten your daily serving of vegetables?

This is also the art used for the cover for Edward Said's book Orientalism. A good read, even if newer postcolonial scholars have improved on his ideas since then.

I don't think it could due to double jeopardy laws. It's illegal in the US to charge someone again for a crime they've already been convicted of.

I think the distinction you're thinking of is when something is milled. Wheat is milled into flour. Rice is milled to remove the husks. Corn is milled into meal. At that point you're not eating the plant, you're eating a processed plant product. Of those three, corn is the only one that can really be eaten as-is, so perhaps the distinction of when it's a grain or a vegetable is more about if it was dried and milled first.

But all of that seems unrelated to potatoes, which are roots. You can make bread out of potatoes, and I don't think anyone would try to argue that potato bread somehow counts as a vegetable. But a potato on its own, minimally processed and eaten relatively whole, seems to fit the definition of a vegetable by most definitions, culinary or otherwise.

Hey, they'll do something! There will be plenty of congress drones on network and syndicated news who are more than happy to share the root cause of this tragedy as anything from video games to trans right to (shockingly enough) maybe even guns. There will be many calls to action (action pending).

And we can't forget the effectiveness of thoughts and prayers in these trying times.

Could this be a dog?

Starches are just something a vegetable has, though, not something they are. Like protein and fiber.

If you exclude anything with starch from being vegetables, you're also excluding beans, squash, lentils, carrots, peas, parsnips, corn, etc.

Just curious, what would you define as a vegetable?

How this conversation would go with my aunt I don't speak to anymore:

"This news doesn't mean anything, he was probably coerced by Pelosi's thugs and bribed by Soros to plead guilty and protect the Biden crime family."

"So you share similar thoughts about all of the other guilty confessions that the police coerce out of people?"

"What? No way, that's different, they're criminals!"

38 and counting :(

It made me happy, and then sad at myself for having to question if this was AI generated or not.

I have so little trust these days, I had to watch it 15 times through to confirm that there was visual consistency with the background objects and therefore the video is probably real.
