My kids who are teens/20 year olds.
“Dad why are you always playing in a tank or a plane on BF?”
Me “Because I am old.”
I used to have reaction times like that made other people weep. I was constantly on watchlists for cheating and even banned by a few poor losers in private servers. Those days are well in the past now.
Slight clarification
A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix
Changes in Brix does not slways correlate exactly with sugar content as other soluable solids are included in reading. Things like carotinoids etc. A little something to pay attention too when comparing varieties.
Allow me to hit me with my cane. The Manchester blast was fucking loud.
Eastern Skunk Cabbage.

The western skunk cabbage is yellow and quite pretty, from a distance.
A bract is a modified leaf, that usually doesn’t look anything like a regular leaf.
October 25th is the date that most stores pull down the Halloween stuff and transition to Christmas stuff. It’s not unusual for most stores to have zero Halloween stuff on the shelves on Halloween.
The seasonal arrival of Spirit in the many empty commercial buildings has made this worse. Regular stores bring in less merchandize and are often stocking Christmas stuff 2 or 3 weeks before Halloween in my area.
My work truck looks like this most days. I spent 4-6 hours per day driving in remote areas/off-road.
I have more sensitive gear and equipment I need for my job in the back seat The bed is also usually full of equipment that is not as sensitive.
I keep a cooler full of water and several boxes of granola bars inside.
So whenever I fill up the tank, I spend a few minutes tossing trash out of the truck. It’s the only way I have found to keep the pile of mess somewhat under control.
Once I year I clear out the truck and have it detailed to start fresh on the dirt buildup.
Almost there…
A small cordless drill with a torque setting plus a driver set. A short flexible bit holder for the tight spots.
Drop the torque setting all the way down then use the drill for most of the work. Then finish tightening with a reacheting screwdriver.
How about the Citric Acid Cycle then?
I probably should work on getting the bush type plant mutant into the giant pumpkin germplasm again.
The first tests were had a 400lb pumpkin into a 8’x8’ plot. They split and cracked however.
In my area the self checkout systems at the grocery store often fritz out an don’t register the item. This is even after they beep. It’s truly wonderful. I consistently get 50% or more of the items in my cart for free. Nothing they can do to me either. They have me on video scanning every item. If their system buggers up the total it’s on them.
If they want somebody to catch computer errors then there’s a thing called “pay a employee.”
During the last housing bubble, you could rent the same place for less than 1/2 the cost of buying it. Renting and investing made more sense then.
Currently buying a house is overpriced but rent is even more so.
The best financial decision right now is to live with your parents your entire life. If you don’t have a parent you can stay with, then a tent and cardboard boxes in the park it is.
Which of course I haven’t received yet.
They keep promising it will be delivered next week or so for the past 5 years.
Some varieties of apples blooms are frost sensitive. Others can shrug off a frost and not really care. It’s a genetic difference in the cultivars.

So if you see a big ass fan in the orchard, it’s because the grower wanted to push a variety that is not well adapted to the local environment.
A sudden freeze will not kill the vines. Grapes are extremely tough. It can hurt the flower buds though. A severe enough freeze can cut the yield.
For wine grapes less fruit in the bunches = lower quality wine.
It’s an old cheap method.
We have much better ways of protecting crops from frost including reusable netting/row covers with supplemental heat from electric heaters. However they cost more so…
Yep. It wasn’t cheap or easy back when they had the monopoly.
That’s back when ISP’s offered personal webpage hosting as part of your service. I setup my first webpage on my dialup ISP’s server. Family photos and such before the social media things got going.
I for many years after that for large file transfers. Just set up a landing index page and a folder for the file in FTP to activate it. Then share the http address to file.
Figure 3’s label.
“Chlorine atoms are shown in red.” got me.
Molecular biologist: repeatedly spike their samples and reagents to cause random failures. Eventually lack of sleep from running it “just one more time” will kill them.
