Well, they're distinct groups to scientists too. Nobody is saying dinosaur and bird are interchangeable terms. All birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs were birds.

AMD doesn't really have anything in this category, do they? Or even any announced plans for it?

I think the bird -> dinosaur relationship is more like human -> primate. IIRC "fish" is kind of a fuzzy term. Like we would colloquially describe our common ancestor with frogs as a fish, but phylogenetically they would be c

Practically all commercial fish is frozen to kill parasites. "Sushi grade" is a marketing term.

Salmonella hasn't been a real problem in American eggs for decades. They're used raw all the time. (Yes, there are occasional outbreaks. There are also outbreaks in Europe.)

Steak tartar is widely available in North America. It's not even French in origin. The implication that America has no culture of gastronomy and insane agricultural practices is distasteful.

How is the wikipedia page non-pedantic compared to the article? It says the same thing, just in more detail.

Really? I feel like Bethesda game NPCs are mostly memorable for their "so bad, it's good" quality. Unless you go back to Morrowind maybe.

The figure I usually see used for that comparison is Julius Caesar or Cleopatra. I think Alexander is a little too old for it to be quite true.

Caffeine is generally thought of as a vasodilator. It's a bit more complex than that, but it definitely doesn't restrict blood flow to your extremities.

I'm sure someone better informed could weigh in with more details, but IIRC, taking time dilation into account, you could explore infinitely if you could somehow travel at the speed of light. Some large fraction of c would be suffi

> Norther Italian here No offence intended, I'm genuinely curious; isn't pizza a southern thing? This reads to me like a person from the northern US weighing in on BBQ. It's perfectly allowed, but why qualify with norther

Probably equivalent to what you'd call a barbecue. Charcoal or gas fed, bottom heating, usually with a grated surface and outdoors. Though with proper ventilation you can use them indoors. Some Americans will call it a barbecue too, bu

The comparison to carbonara keeps coming up, but I don't really get it. Cheese is a component of carbonara, but it's as much about cured pork and egg. And the cheese is a salty and acidic sheep's milk cheese, nothing like var

You can also force the dough/batter through the holes of a box grater. Can be a bit of a mess, but the end result is basically the same as the specialized tool.

Same difference, isn't it? In the EU buttermilk usually refers to the by-product of butter making. In the US and Canada it's commercially produced cultured milk.

Not sure seitan is the best example of "synthetic." You can make it at home in less than an hour with nothing but wheat flour and water.

Room temperatures and the weather are usually in Celsius, but I find cooking temps more often in Fahrenheit. We're just all over the place.

Mostly culture and habit, but I argue against the prevailing wisdom and say it's also more hygienic to use TP. Moving water throws invisible droplets everywhere that can spread bacteria, which is why modern health authorities strongly

In big kitchens with dedicated prep staff, sure. Most places aren't that big.

What facts on the ground does usage of "flu" reflect? It's not influenza and nobody seriously calls it flu. Even those least interested in the specifics know it as as unqualified "coronavirus" or Wuhan virus. To cal

I don't understand casual use of the word flu in relation to this pandemic. Even if it was "just a flu" in terms of impact, it would be needlessly confusing.

That might be saf er than full contact, but hardly seems safe . Well within cough/sneeze range.

Skip the second wash. Antibacterial soap is worthless at best and potentially harmful.

I think if they just did zombie games it could be construed as making light of the situation and get them some backlash. Broader discounts and some signalling that the intent is to encourage people to stay inside more might work though.

Why would recirculated air be a concern on cruise ships? They're not airplanes. Also COVID-19 only seems to be airborne in the sense that you can get it from coughed/sneezed droplets directly from a sick person, not aerosols that

I've never heard of sweetening orange juice. Do you not find it sweet enough on its own?
