  • The difference in taste between good and mediocre for fruit is huge. Most fruit in stores doesn’t even taste distinct at this point. I’d totally be down to follow good growers to know when/where to buy their stuff. There’s this brand of frozen cherries in my fridge (Townsend Farms, Oregon) that has ruined all other cherries for me. Dole organic bananas, at least the ones at my Costco in Texas (says product of Mexico), have similarly ruined all other bananas for me. Taste is like, generic fructose, vs something distinctly of that fruit.

    My work used to have a hookup with a local watermelon farmer, every summer we’d buy a few pallets and give everyone a watermelon. I’m still chasing the taste of those melons…





  • In retrospect, I can’t argue that it’s an empty world. But during my time with the game as a teen, during its original release period on Xbox, it did not feel empty at all.
    I’m wondering how much it had to do with the lower render distance / fog on Xbox, because without that I can imagine a totally different game. I’m also wondering how much had to do with essentially every playthrough of mine being wearing the boots of blinding speed and some magic resist so I could see. The big empty world felt small and populated when traversal doesn’t take as long. Not saying that’s good design, but I can imagine disliking it with the default move speed. Compared to many other similar games I played since then, most of the content felt worthwhile. Oblivion and especially Skyrim fell so short of the bar that Morrowind set for me because so much of the dungeon content felt like worthless filler.

    All the expensive coffee machines say not to use RO water. Apparently RO water is slightly acidic and can damage the copper heating elements over time. I’ve a RO system and love the taste (really lack of any flavor), but stopped using it on my coffee machines.
