Honorary vegetable status
  • They're both. The term vegetable can mean either a part of a plant that people eat, or in a culinary sense it can refer to savory plant based foods that excludes things like grains, legumes, nuts, etc. In either case tomatoes, being both an edible part of a plant and savory gets to be a vegetable.

    On a different level, botanically, not only is it a fruit, but it is a true berry.

    So yeah, it can be, and is both things depending on the how you're looking at it.

  • Regional pizza
  • I mean it's very crispy around the edges and it's got a nice focaccia like texture in the middle. Honestly it's great. I mean, it's not life altering or anything, but as regional pizza goes it's one of the better ones.

  • It's just a coffee
  • You're paying for the content in the case of the newspapers. It is a similar cost to print on newsprint as to run a website. It saves them no money. Most of what you are paying for is for the journalism, writing, editing, etc. Content costs money.

  • A defiant Netanyahu says no one can halt Israel's war to crush Hamas, including the world court
  • The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.

  • Pascal's Wager
  • What if belief results in creation? Why would I want to believe in this Lovecraftian noodle-god, when the very act of belief might spawn this horror into our universe? Our only protection is disbelief.

    Are we buyers or sellers at the deadline this year?

    Simple question but it feels like a hard one to actually answer. We're basically a .500 team so far. We're 5 games away from a wild card spot, so not insurmountable at this point in the season but not super close either. Do we go try to trade for a big piece that puts us into the race? Or do we sell? It isn't like we need a complete teardown, that's not what I'm asking about. But we do have several veterans who will be free agents next year who we might be able to move, though only one, Teoscar, would have any real value. So what do you guys say, throw minor league value into a potential run when we're playing .500 ball, or try to grab some value by trading Teoscar and a couple underperforming vets?

    Just a really good breakdown of the players we drafted a couple days ago by type. You get a good sense of the kinds of players the organization likes.

    www.mlb.com 'Come to Seattle!': Mariners fans pitch Ohtani during ASG

    SEATTLE -- The Mariners can’t formally make a pitch to Shohei Ohtani to join their organization until baseball’s best player becomes a free agent after the season. But there are no rules precluding their fans from making a bold invitation to the Angels' two-way superstar. Most of the sellout crowd

    Not that he will, but at least we're doing our part to entice him.

    sports.mynorthwest.com Mariners select Ohio HS infielder Colt Emerson with 22nd pick

    The Seattle Mariners took a high-school bat in the first round of the MLB Draft for the third year in a row in Ohio infielder Colt Emerson.

    I know nothing about this prospect, but it is interesting to see us go after another high school bat.

    An SI article about the dirty play yesterday by Chas McCormick of the Astros

    Pretty ridiculous honestly. Surprised he didn't get ejected, which is usually the penalty for this kind of intentional interference at first base. Wouldn't be surprised if this series gets chippy starting tonight.
