That sounds kind of abusive, ngl

Yes, I usually do so at the end-of-the-year funding drive they always have between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The amount generally varies based on how much I’ve used it each year and how generous I feel, but I do think it’s a useful service, and I don’t want to see them having to resort to showing advertisements in order to pay their bills.

I did not argue that. I was just pointing out a funny edge case in the previous poster's argument.

That said, even actual vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes are often boiled in water without the intention of making soup.

I wouldn't call it stock, but Italians do indeed use pasta water in many of their sauces. Makes sense because it's basically just starchy water, which helps to bind the sauce.

That said, you generally don't need more than one or two cups of it, the rest is still thrown out.

Have you ever cooked pasta?

When you're a billionaire or a famous actor, they let you get away with it.

I honestly can't believe he'll be turning 50 this year.

Uh, why wouldn't he be? Apparently he'll be turning 50 this year but he looks like he's 35 so he must be living a pretty healthy lifestyle.

 

I could really see myself working there.

They look so damn similar, from the style and color of their armor down to their behavioral traits. Seems like Bungie simply saw the success that Doom had over their Marathon series and thought to themselves "you know what our next game needs? A massively overpowered super soldier in green high tech armor who spouts sarcastic one liners in the face of an overwhelming alien invasion" and went to town with that concept. And it worked like a charm, they cranked out six massively successful games before id/Bethesda decided it was time to reboot the Doom franchise 2016.

Perhaps it was payback for them to give Doomguy the Crucible in the reboot games (which looks a lot like the energy sword from Halo), but I can't help but think these two are essentially the same character.
