2022 LC Thread—New Year, New Thread

Those Cosmic Crisp apples just dropped last year, officially. I remember seeing some news about them WSU’s Cosmic Crisp® apples will hit stores early this year | WSU Insider | Washington State University

Honeycrisp actually work great for pies. I read something where someone made a bunch of pies with different apples like Kenji would (it might have actually been Kenji), and honeycrisp came out on top. That’s what my wife uses now and they turn out great.

Will give them a try. I follow his parboiling advice on the apples. IIRC he used Golden Delicious in that video. Ofc Granny Smith are cheaper and I like their tartness.

I’ve always wondered what happens when a significant chunk of the original users of the internet are dead. Does google start recycling email addresses?

Google can just add another domain name the way we add area codes for phone numbers.

  1. Braeburn
  2. Other apples

Like what happens when half the users on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are dead? Weird times.

Doesn’t your credit card expire eventually?

The crisp varietals don’t seem to grow real well in NY, but the ochards keep growing more of them per demand. Honeycrisps are reliably among the worst apples at the farmers market, but cost 50% more and sell out first. The best ones here are something called Stamen Winesap which I just discovered last year.

IME banks will often allow charges for regular deductions without updating the card #. Of course you can just call them up and cancel. Don’t imagine that Apple is going to make a claim against this guys moms estate for 99 cents but who knows.

Makes no sense to me. Just cancel the credit card or bank account.

It’s not always that easy. Banks and credit cards will continue paying out under the old number for a while. And then come after you for the balance. Their stated position is you should never cancel an account just to get out of a recurring charge.

In practice I imagine they reject the charges eventually and just eat the charges if they aren’t big and they believe that the person really died.

Looks like another huge cheating scandal in poker.

There might be like 5 legit long term high stakes winners in the whole world. Poker just so full of scumbags.

This is Doug Polk’s moment to shine

I basically can’t even enjoy Garrett because of holding my breath for something to be revealed about him, I mean how unlikely would it be for him to just be a cool nice guy AND be a crusher

I mean I can enjoy rooting for him. Just it’s tampered it a bit

What does Bill Clinton have to do with this?

Sometimes I feel like I’m just shouting into the void.

Not a great take, imo. Even if we accept that it’s the best, it’s definitely close.

This is why you have the best taste on the forum. Elite beer sense. Elite apple taste. You are a role model.
