You have to store them in your crispr drawer.

Fe'i bananas are neat, they're not even from the same two crossed species as the other ~99% of bananas on Earth, or even in the same Musa subgroup. They grow upright instead of hanging down. They ripen orange, mottled/striped, or brick red, and are, as noticed, yellow inside, with like 100x the beta carotene of a Cavendish. The sap is purple and can be used as a dye. Different number of chromosomes (not just ploidy). Etc. Very different!

Just another case of the Polynesians doing their own thing ;) They originated in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and then the Polynesians took them everywhere with them in their boats. And when we're talking bananas, that means transporting live plants (corms).

Tell me you've never eaten a Gros Michel without telling me you've never eaten a Gros Michel.

Dunno, they don't seem ignorant. Colonizers sure

Fuck off Nazi sucker.

He literally said Islam was the greatest danger. Sources abound. Learn to Internet, coward.

Did you choose freely to be a Nazi or were you trained by your parents?

There's no "they" that made capitalism intentionally. It evolved, it wasn't designed. But if it had been, it would have been designed to keep the wealthy on top and the rest of us under foot, and that's what it would have been doing when functioning "correctly". Adam Smith has been called by many the father of capitalism, but that's nonsense. He was describing the workings of a system which predated him.

Capitalism was arguably created (though still not invented) by the merchants who superseded kings. The monarchs needed money, but they needed the people with the talent for making it to collect it, and those people gained their own power and moved the levers. But they were competitors more than collaborators, which is the only reason we haven't all been completely screwed for centuries already. If they cooperated and carved us and our resources up among them deliberately they would have subjugated us all long ago. Now technology has made it possible to meaningfully control the mobb instead of just hoping to lead it to where you want it to go.

All hands on deck for the imminent flooding to be caused in SoCal by hurricane Polo. Baja was already flooding hours before the storm arrived, and the big cities down there are paved over and can't absorb anything, so it's practically 100% runoff in populated areas. Fingers crossed for it to be a lot better than I'd fear.

But I also live in Humboldt county now, this area is known for floods, and the city I live in is mostly a glorified sand bar in the Eel...

If you ask them, no doubt they will tell you it's necessary, they will fear government spies.

But the fact that China has to put these methods in place tells you that smart people want to leave.

On the other hand, leaving the US is complicated, this country sees us as its property and wants our money even after we go! There's more similarity than difference there.

I hope you're right because right now the kicking and screaming is from people being dragged to concentration camps.

BTW, if you want nutritious bananas, you don't want the mainstream A*/B* lineages at all, you want the fe'i (Pacific) lineages. They have so much beta carotene that not only is their flesh golden, but they'll turn your urine fluorescent as well ;) Most are cooking bananas, but there are some 'Karat' varities that are good out-of-hand if you let them ripen long enough.

I've got bad news for you: despite what you read online, Gros Michel tastes almost exactly the same as Cavendish. Maybe slightly better, but not very different. Which is why Cavendish was chosen from the ~1000+ banana cultivars out there to replace it. If you want new tastes, Gros Michel is not the banana you should be looking for.

Nutritional content is, realistically, better. PPO is pretty much an antinutrient (in addition to degrading polyphenols, it also degrades vitamin C and protein digestability).

This is, once again, NOT about ripening, it's about oxidation of the flesh after you cut it open. Please, people READ.
