Current events seem to support that hypothesis.

billionaires never see justice

It’s because they have successfully convinced the majority of this country that having money makes you a better person.

It is, but I’m ready to officially throw in the towel and embrace the fact that running your own hardware is not much more than a hobby these days. I’ve preached and preached the value of multi or hybrid cloud, only for the people with money to pour it down the same hole time and time again.

I’ve always said IT is essentially an entirely CYA driven industry. Having someone to blame is more valuable for them than uptime, and if they can show their outages, even if the numbers suck, was not their fault (easy to do when all your competitors are down at the same time), it’s all good…

Update- lol, YouTube is currently down.

Agreed, one of my favorites. I always read it as satire though.

I was going off about passwords last week because of exactly this kind of shit. Who in the goddamned fuck needs a pringles.com account.

We live in insane times.

I mean, the reason is that it’s one of the main ingredients of mirepoix, and most people don’t find it offensive. It’s one of those background flavors that you don’t pick out, but is part of the typical base.

What I’m getting at is that if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. It’s there because whoever made it, decided to put it in.

Now, I’m sure there are all kinds of explanations about the enzymes, and the fiber and so on, but it’s soup, doesn’t have to be complicated. Just delicious :)

Celery is genuinely one of my favorite parts of soups that use them. I LOVE the flavor or celery, and it is even better when it picks up the rest of the flavors of the dish.

To answer yours and the other questions about “why this ingredient”, the answer is very simple. Some people like it.

If you don’t, then don’t use it, problem solved.

Journalism is dead in this country. The purveyors of “news” in the US have zero interest or care in fact and truth, their only motive is profit. This is no longer compatible with a free society.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the US is filled with shitty people.

I mean, it’s just so plainly and obviously true yet for some reason almost no one sees it.
