Ooh, valid question! I think I have to say yes, because traditional dumplings weren’t filled the way most are today, they were just a boiled or fried starch. Tapioca starch is mixed with boiling water to create boba, so, if you have a boba tea, that becomes soup again because you have added dumplings to your broth.

Tea is broth. You remove the solids.

Matcha might count as soup, though.

Firefox mobile now has a full suite of extensions, including old reddit redirect to bypass all that bs. It’s the only way I access reddit anymore for answers/the last few niche communities that haven’t been built up on lemmy yet.

As a demifluid bisexual, can confirm. It’s a lot of fun.

You know, when I’m not being relentlessly harassed just for existing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol that’s fair, but since those words in that combination barely even make sense to me I tried to dumb it down more and ended up being wrong 😂

I’m the idiot who searches stack for code and copies and pastes it into the project so no one should listen to me anyway.

It’s a markup language. In the simplest explanation, a programming language describes a process (what does the thing do) while a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed). There’s more to it than that, but someone else can get into deeper if they want, it’s beyond me lol

did not actually file copyrights on their art with the U.S. Copyright Office.

The way they’ve worded this isn’t really a sufficient explanation of how this works. An artist is automatically granted copyright upon the creation of a work, so it’s not that they don’t have the right to protect their work. It’s just that, without registration, you cannot file a lawsuit to protect your work.

Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work.

However, if it’s within 5 years of initial publication, they can still be granted a formal registered copyright and bring the complaint again.

It’s more trying to indicate the tongue placement - an N sounds different depending on whether you place it at the front of the tongue or back of the tongue. Back of the tongue is much more nasal, which is frequently associated with French accents, and could sound almost like an “ng” sound to someone less familiar with nasal pronunciations.

The joke probably would’ve been clearer had you mentioned Vaporeon 😏

People (idiots) prefer therapeutic to preventative because of shitty/misattributed confirmation bias. If they get the shots and don’t get sick, it’s not because of the shots, it’s because they weren’t ever going to get sick anyway. If they get sick, take something, and get better, it’s because of whatever they took. They can’t see the vaccine helping them, so it isn’t happening, and if it isn’t happening, then it’s worthless, and if it’s worthless but someone’s trying to “make” you take it anyway, it’s cause they have an ulterior motive.

Hardness absolutely matters in rings. Not as much in pendants or earrings, but people don’t realize how rough they are with their hands. Most people do not take their rings off to wash their hands, or do their laundry, or, or, or. So many things have unexpected abrasives that may just feel a little rough on your skin, but can significantly damage a soft stone like opal. In a rush and accidentally bang your hand against the door frame? Chipped opal. Back of your hand itches, so you rub it against your jeans briefly? Scratched opal. They’re very fragile stones.

Oh, not arguing that. Just pointing out that this is a large part of why price goes up when you mention the word “wedding”. Even if a particular individual doesn’t care to have absolutely top-tier perfect service, they’re in the minority - and those vendors in the wedding industry price their services to fulfill the expectations of the norm, not the exception.

Not just that, but the expectations are almost always significantly higher (and, in return, the effort that you as a consumer get from those vendors should also be higher.) Speaking from the position of someone who supplies the cake industry, for example, you’re not just getting “a cake”. You’re getting a multi-tier work of edible art that took that cake decorator four times longer to make, requires a special setup for transportation, and usually requires another half hour to an hour of the decorator’s time to fully set up once on site. Any old cake could feed 100 people, sure, but do you really want pictures of a flat single layer cake decorated with ugly, mushy balloons half-assedly piped on by the resident 18 year old at your grocery store, transported in a flimsy cardstock box in Aunt Hester’s 1970 woody wagon so that half the icing is stuck on the top of the box? If you do, great! You can save a lot of money that way, for sure. But most people want a 3-4 tier cake, decorated immaculately with flawless buttercream and covered in flowers. That shit requires effort, and effort means money.

It must be really hard to have no one love you

Maybe if you decided to try being a human, instead of an animated pile of fecal matter, someone might love you even a little bit

I’m smoking science and facts. Sorry you’re too stupid to understand them. One source: https://dcs.az.gov/sites/default/files/media/Child-Abuse-Tips-Scald-Injuries.pdf

Another source, citing 3 seconds at 140F: https://antiscald.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=15

Another source, a graph showing time to burn at liquid temperatures ranging from 130F to boiling: http://www.accuratebuilding.com/images/services/charts/hot_water_burn_scalding_lrg.gif

Edit, hey! Just for fun, here’s one specifically talking about the optimal drinking temperature for hot beverages. It only briefly mentions that the usual serving temp of coffee (~180F) can easily and quickly cause significant scalding, but it goes on to show that the optimal - in terms of customer satisfaction, taste, and safety - is a cool ~140F. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0305417907002550?via%3Dihub

Did you know that liquid at 150F can cause 3rd degree burns in 2 seconds? This was 200F, 133% hotter than liquid that can cause 3rd degree burns in 2 seconds. The woman, who it would behoove you to recall was elderly, was sitting down, buckled in, wearing jeans.

Please, explain to me how, in this scenario, you would suggest that an elderly woman remove her now-scalding jeans in 2 seconds or less.

You can’t, because it’s impossible. Now fuck off, you complete piece of human garbage. Go suck corporate dick on reddit.

Others have already very kindly explained how you’re completely, totally wrong, so I’ll just add:

Neener neener, you’re a stupid asshat and nobody likes you :D

Except she fucking wasn’t, you twat. Stop victim blaming.

200 Fahrenheit. That’s 93.3C. Just below literal boiling.

Edit for more information, an adult human will suffer 3rd degree burns if exposed to 150F (65.5C) liquid for two seconds. This was 133% hotter than liquid that will cause 3rd degree burns. And it was poured directly in her lap, soaked into cloth that she could not easily remove. This was straight up evil levels of negligent.

They could be, but they aren’t. The woman literally had her labia fused together from the burn and just wanted them to pay for her fucking surgery.
