Right hand to gay Jesus, I was literally coming into this thread to type out the exact same thing. Except my comment wouldn't have had the italics or newline because according to my therapist I'm lazy and lack curiosity so I wouldn't have spent the time or even had the inclination.

Normally I would respond to the already posted top reply with this same message, but this is a topic which deserves multiple replies with the same answer to reinforce the idea that it is correct...

Remove any diseased or damaged strawberries from the container.

Soak the rest in a vinegar solution for a few minutes.

Rinse with fresh water.

Allow to completely dry.

Keep refrigerated.

Those are the steps. Works with lots of produce, but seems to be especially good for things like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

But also, at least in the USA, shit's going down with our produce right now and it seems like the shelf life of almost everything as of late is super limited. Not sure if it's due to the tariffs or what.

Some people have all the luck. I have to pay for this type of interview, and this dude is presumably getting it for free.

Honestly, what even is Trump's stance on transgender "issues"? Seems like the only trans people he is aware of is trans women. And his message has literally all the nuance and complexity of "trans women bad". I'd honestly be surprised if even half of Americans have met or known a trans person.

Why did this immediately make me think of that movie starring Sandra Bullock called Practical Magic. As a side note, I need to rewatch Practical Magic, it's been too long since I've seen it.

Honestly, those who suck cock are truly some of the best that humanity has to offer, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say objectively that Target does not suck cock.

I often hear good things about AdaFruit, so it made my terrible experience with them all the more disappointing and unexpected.

I won't launch into the full story, but I had placed what was to me an expensive order. One item of the cheapest things I bought was missing a part. Their customer service folks were so dismissive and unpleasant, they made me try to resolve the issue with their supplier (iirc piminori or something along those lines), they insisted that there was no way this could happen because it would never have passed their quality control team, that it wasn't their responsibility to make it right, etc. It was such a bad experience that I've never returned.

So honestly, I have no sympathy here. From my perspective, this sort of thing could not have happened to a more deserving company.

Looking at the game's minimum requirements, I'm not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it'll probably be some time before I play the game unless there's a free demo available. I'm more of a patient gamer type and I still haven't played through Eternal yet (and may not).

Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I've seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it's a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I'm also seeing a lot of folks saying it's super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they're kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

3N plants are sterile.

That's not universally true, though. In many instances, 3N plants have reduced fertility, but can still produce viable seed. Even the seedless watermelons, the 3N types, can sometimes produce viable seeds.

Every so often I wonder how people could be so stupid

Most of the world's large predators are extinct or on the verge of extinction. Interpret that how you want.

Can't you just make your own shoes? All you have to do is build your own shoe factory and then hire a bunch of illegals and children to work under the table for cash. You don't even need a website, just sell the shoes on Facebook Market Place. That's literally all there is to it.

I'm not trying to be contrarian here, and I'm not saying you're wrong. But knowing how seedless watermelons are developed and produced, it doesn't actually have much to do with being seedless.

At least in the USA, there are lots of different seedless watermelon varieties. I've only grown a small number of them, but they've all been great tasting.

Other than under ripe watermelons and random "wild" cultivars, I've never had a tasteless watermelon, so I'm slightly skeptical of your comment, to be honest.
