Eat em raw. Maybe peel them if the fluff bothers you. Never had any other way, never felt inclined to try.

To avoid pests, you can find small fabric bags to dress over the fruits while they mature. That way you can eat tree ripened fruits, much more flavorful.

Damn, how I miss taking loquats from the tree behind my grandma’s house!

I bet Schummer is on the phone with them right now, fuming, asking why he got 15 grand less then Hakeem.

Daaaaad…

Really? I probably should read into it. What an odd tech bro.

Japanese police are famous for only investigating crimes they are confident they can solve. Also for finding a culprit once they start investigating, even if there isn’t enough evidence to convict. Something about losing face if you accuse someone and turns out it’s not true.

So yeah, you may find individual OK cops, maybe even good. But I’m yet to see evidence of a good police force.

I disagree with you wholeheartedly on the AI issue, but on this comment? No notes. Well handled.

I consider myself quite tech savvy. Some 20 years ago I even coded for the PC, and might have run questionably sourced software a few times. Nowadays, I have a home server, do my tiny bit of tinkering. My current approach to pirated software is “nope”. I find it too much trouble to still not feel safe. If there isn’t an open source alternative, I’ll either cough up the dough for the real deal or go without.

Thanks!

What’s Kioxia?

OK, Deep Seek.
