As your parent pointed out: many fruits are considered vegetables, and that includes tomatoes. In other words: it is not an either or, it is an overlapping definition. While a lettuce or a cabbage is definitely not a fruit, the cabbage is considered a vegetable and the lettuce a salad (no one would call it vegetable in France or Germany, no idea about the brits). While apples and pears are definitely fruits and don't fall into the vegetable category, an eggplant or tomato or even a celery is a fruit: and is a vegetable. About the celery you could argue, as it is a root, and it has its own flowers and seeds (which would be the true fruits).
The old definition of vegetable was: if you eat the whole plant, it is vegetable, e.g. cabbage, celery, broccoli, cauliflower etc.... obviously that definition failed at some point, e.g. potatoes.
This whole mess could have been avoided if they just kept it logically and looked at things from a rational perspective, instead of adding arbitrary conditions Why? What would be the point? Are there "definitions contests" which fear to lose?
Hint: vegetables are usually cooked... "fruits" not. Of course you can cook fruits... and get a marmalade or compote.
Every person I know learned what a vegetable is as a child... no point in disputing it now;D
They sat in small ponds, "connected" to the sea. But depending on tides (it was mediterranean sea, the tide is usually not really visible, about 20cm or so) they could swim into or out of the pond. Or they climbed over the barrier.
It was more likely that they wanted to play because I came there every day, to put my feet into the water and read a book.
When I saw them the first time, they immediately hid. When I came to the pond I usually could not spot them at first, but while reading I saw them out of the corner of my eye sometimes. After a while they approached (a few days later).
Happend two times more or less in the same way in the same area of south Crete.
But your diving story is interesting, perhaps I should learn diving. When I was first time in Thailand, I spent a month on Phuket, but only used diving mask and snorkel a day before I left. What a shock. The amount of fish around me was unbelievable. Like in an aquarium of a Chinese restaurant. I literally had hundreds of fish at the same time in my viewing field. Just a few yards away from the beach.
The only web site where I ever heard about "Kardashian's" is/. I admit I googled about a year ago to get a clue what this is about. A rich man and a girl with a much to fat ass... and that is worth talking about?
cleaned its orbit and doesn't run risk anymore to suffer a large collision with objects in the same or close orbits which might strongly change its celestial parameters (Pluto hasn't). A pretty pointless requirement. By this requirement Jupiter is then definitely not a planet as his orbit is polluted with the most objects (hint: thousands of Trojans in both trojan points)
Tuesday is germanic Tyr's day, the former boss of the pantheon before Odin/Wotan took over and Tyr was demoted to the position of Thor's brother and son of Odin.
The disputes were all about measuring the man-made versus natural levels, and what proportion greenhouse gasses played in the overall climate budget. There never was a dispute outside of the USA.
he would have dismissed it as a minor component of the greenhouse effect compared to water vapor. Yeah. And where does the water vapour come from? Oh, heat. Heat/warming induced by CO2. Oh, now you see, we have a self enforcing effect... more CO2 means more warming means more water vapour means more heat...
Who ever had guessed that?
The models themselves weren't very good until the 80s You don't need a model for that. A model is for predicting how much e.g. the average temperature on the globe will be around 2050 or 2100. Those models might have been bad, but what is the point about that?
If you actually think a bit about it: the average temperature has no predicting power about any particular point on the planet, it is pointless. E.g. we have an extremely cold spring, early summer, in Germany. The winter had record warmths... again. What has that to do with average temperatures or climate models? Nothing...
Yes, but that is speculation. Not science. We actually have no evidence that support such hypothesizes. And then again, how would all the atmosphere, especially CO2 come from if the planet ever had harboured life?
90% of what I do on FB is being part in groups around my sport, Aikido. That means I get updates about seminars. I have about 270 FB friends. I know nearly everyone in RL. But only a hand full, perhaps ten, are family or "real friends" (as in class mates etc.). No one of my "real friends" is using FB;D I only use it for sports... Getting 270 people (and their networks where I'm not part of) to move to another site is close to impossible. And as we don't use FB for "private things" there is no reason to change anyway.
If you are not pro Tesla, you are an idiot, and not cute. However I agree that all car companies should stay away from autopilots. Either the car can drive autonomous or it can't. Autopilot makes only sense in a traffic jam with stop and go traffic..
Well, I played with a few octopuses they behaved a bit like dogs, they were curious and and came to me and put their arms around my hand. (Mediterranean sea, Greece)
There are two singular forms that end in -us, one maskulin, nominative O-Declination, that has as plural -i, famous word: dominus. The other one is U-declination, then the plural is -us like the singular, famous word: virus
So yes. for most latin words you _can_ substitute us for i and have the plural, but not for _all_.
You'd generally be better off with a 12ga shotgun for close work, and a.30-06 (or 8mm Mauser,.303 Lee-Enfield, or any good hunting rifle) for distant work.... On a pirate boat? Or when you have entered the target?
Seems you don't know what GMO means, so I write it out for your: genetically modified organism. That means you put an artificial gene into an organism or you copy/paste a gene from a different organism into your subject. That can't be done with "breeding".
"Sterile" plants come in two ways: a) the seeds they make can not be planted, that is true for most GMO grains. b) they have pollen that cause other plants, non GMO, to ripe fruits that are steril
There are thousands, probably close to a million of studies that show that GMO food can be dangerous. You never even checked for a study, stupid idiot.
Big difference in farming though since GMO crops can lead to less use of pesticides No, they lead to use of more pesticides, you moron. Most of GMO "food" is designed to be resistant to pesticides so the farmers can use more of it.
One rule is no consideration of things like age when making decisions That is nonsense. The laws only regulate that autonomous driving is possible. (And the passenger/driver is responsible if something goes wrong)
And no deliberately selecting targets when an accident is unavoidable. Sure, the/. myth again. When did it ever happen that some kids jump into your path and one decides to kill the aunts on the other side of the road?
WTF: an autonomous car will break! Not target something else... just like a human. If you would aim for the aunts because of age, you are an asshole and not a human.
Actually, I never read an Asimov robot story. The back page "about the story" never looked interesting, but I read:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_for_Robots
We have no evidence that GMO is harmful, and no plausible mechanism why it should be. You mean: not more harmful than "normal breeding". Correct. However you can manufacture stuff with genetical modifications that you can not breed. That is hard to "test". And yes, we have "evidence that GMO is harmful", we know that since the 1930s, where GMO was not even invented. Was a german PhD work, by a woman... hm, probably it was 1910 already.
Why don't you put this into google: "horizontal gene transfer in plants" Wow... it is so easy to learn something... if one just wants.
I guess there are different types of anti GMO people:D I'm only against GMO'ed food. And GMO'ed plants in the wild that are sterile. I don't care about GMO bacteria that produce medicine or vitamins, why would I? And: we want it labeled. Hence we have laws according to it in Europe...
And reading your rant: you obviously never ever really bothered to read anything about the topic, shithead Oh, Europe... you hate us so much? Sorry, we don't like America, and its world politics, but we like americans, the people visiting us, or who we meet in other countries overseas are always nice and educated. You seem not so much...
Methane gets destroyed relatively quickly. More cows only mean a higher level, not an constantly increasing amount.
If you get "farts" from beans, the beans are prepared badly.
Usually you put them over night into a pot of water, pour out the water in the morning and put fresh water in, pour that out before cooking and you are fine. https://cooking.nytimes.com/gu... Ah, they call it "soaking":D

Venus has an atmosphere nearly 100 times as dense as the earth, there probably never was phase when it could have supported life.

First of all: I have no idea if I'm a liberal. Reading /. however I come to the impression that this is supposed to be an insult? Anyway, you failed.
Your links are pointless. A single crime does not imply that a society is constantly committing that crime.
Taiwan is a first world country like any in Europe, they have labour laws and child protection laws, like anyone else.
