You forgot that it was starlet that created the need for this legal argument in the first place.

If the judge was truly moral; this trial would never have happened. If starfleet was moral, the docheberger that wanted to dismantle data would never have been a member.

Also the other best defense would have been to ask docuheberger to prove he’s not just a machine, and crusher explain in intricate detail how they can reassemble Ryker’s brain. And reattach Ryker’s limb after Warf rips it off.

(Okay, so maybe I don’t like Ryker.)

Yes.

fun fact. Science fiction is speculative fiction- it's just a sub genre that's evolved into its own genre (same with fantasy.)

no. its Cunningham's- ah shit, you fucker.

Cloudy stock is like soggy pie crust bottoms to certain crowds. Though generally speaking, a cloudy stock is less about messing something up and more about what you've added to veg stock. (or it could be "over" cooked- if you just kept it at a simmer the entire time, it should just be a matter of filtering the liquid. or going full on consomme-clear with the whole chill it-and-egg-whites process to filter it.)

if you do make vege stock with scraps; mushrooms definitely add a positive flavor too it. this is more of a use-it-or-loose-it phase of salvaging the shrooms. (or scraps, carrot and apple peels feature in my stock, too. as well as onion skins and garlic-ends that I just can't be arsed to mince all the way down.)

By the way, you can use stock of all types for more things than just soup. for example, using stock instead of water for rice will definitely improve the flavor. (veg or chicken stock; beef stock was... weird...). same goes for stews; including mushroom stews and beef stews (veg stock here.)

Mushroom stock comes to mind. Just, uh, makes sure to rinse them well first. (forget cloudy stock. sandy stock is ewww)

He doesn't hate you. or me. Mostly because he doesn't even realize we exist.

Tau. because i like pi and 2 pi is always better than one.

So, in general you can swap 1:1 frozen vegetables for fresh with no problems at all. Fruit gets a little bit more hinky since a lot of them get packaged with syrup to help prevent crystallization (which completely shreds the fruit.). If you're using the fruit in something- like a jam, or compote where it's going to get cooked anyway, just be aware that it might need less sugar. you can use it whole you might notice them being a bit more juicy than normal, and a bit... uh... frozen-strawberry-esque? They're perfectly fine, but they're going to be a bit... weird. (waffles come to mind. we do frozen strawberries and blueberries, as well as black and raspberries.)

In fact, frozen stuff usually retains more of the nutrients and has more to start with than fresh produce. The reason for this is that the facility they freeze them at are generally next to or very near the farms they're grown at. So they're picked when ripe rather than green, and then freezing actually is the best at preserving nutrients.

Vegetables are generally blanched, to deactivate enzymes, though, so they're already partially cooked. Generally speaking, frozen vegetables need to be cooked from frozen, or thawed in the fridge. Peas are notorious in my family. (Step-grandma thawed peas in the sink for a thanksgiving dinner to... unpleasant consequences.) (If there's any special considerations, they'll be listed on the packaging.)

Some vegetables are in fact "meant" to be frozen. like heirloom-varieties of carrots. carrots do this thing as a last-gasp of trying to survive, where the convert their starches into sugars; which increases their ability to survive freezing. (fun fact, this is why humans are so keyed to sweet things- sweetness means it's in season.)

Before you get any funny ideas about carrots from the grocery store... modern commercial carrots don't do this; its been bred out as a consequence of breeding for other things (mass production value.) but even so, winter crops generally tolerate freezing very well because... well... they're winter crops and that's what they're good for.

Broccoli and cauliflower are both traditionally winter crops, by the way. as are garlic, leeks, kale, a few varieties of squash parsnips, turnips and beets (which like carrots become sweeter with the cold.)

Bowling ball. Because wind resistance is a thing and the feather has higher surface area creating more drag, and there’s no such thing as a perfect vacuum.

Pinball?

Please tell me Pinball gets 2am zoomies

And if Pinball doesn't... don't tell me.... the imagery is amusing.

And the context was they called PR garbage for no other reason than not being white enough; and he was responding to that.

Like, no. “Have you seen trump supporters” is a fair criticism to that.
