You get delicious soup!
@arstechnica what a fantastic question it definitely got me thinking. I think you'd really enjoy some of the things I have in my writings. Actually, I know you would. I just can't open it up for fear. Of never seeing it again, never having shared it with the rest... Yeah, it doesn't make sense what I just said.Probably hopefully
