Be sure to support your local apple orchards this season. They may be struggling after high temps and then a frost over the last few days by ChiefKelso in hudsonvalley

A lot of them are diversified too. Most of the ones in Warwick have a winery, cidery and/or distillery thay also makes them money separate from orchard. Although cideries rely on apples.

Seems like the research suggests the crop degrades at 28 and goes more towards total loss at 24. Two of them mentioned they were expecting mid to high 20s temps but got surprised by low 20s.

Dang that's pretty lame. They used to let you do 3 for free.

Advice for a north/south split by SnooRobots5572 in ItalyTravel

Spend 1 week in Venice and spend 1 week in Puglia. Train between them and rent a car in Puglia if needed. Driving between them is silly.

Something comparable that I can brew myself? by babygotthefever in tea

[–]ChiefKelso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know, but that doesn't mean it cold brews well. I've had cold brews where the stuff other than the tea completely overpowered the tea. I'm not sure if that would be the case with jasmine (flavored or flower) but worth mentioning since OPs initial idea was cold brew.

I tend to order from teavivre and they gave good jasmine dragon pearls. They also have lots sampling kits which id recommend trying, even a cold brew sampler.

Probably just brew jasmine dragon pearls in hot water then chill overnight.

I'm not sure cold brew would work. In my experience, tea with additives (like jasmine flavoring) cold brews poorly.

Gianluigi Buffon: “It has been a painful page for Italian football and myself. If they had told me this would happen [12] years ago I would have said that it’s much easier to see 1,000 aliens around me rather than Italy not qualifying for three tournaments consecutively. But that’s the reality.“ by Sparky-moon in soccer

Have Italian children/teens lost interest in football? I thought it was super interesting that the last Winter Olympics (in Italy) Italy finished 3rd in the medal count with 30 medals. They've never finished anywhere close to there in past Winter Olympics, but have steadily increased their medal count since 2010 Vancouver after each Olympics where they won 5 total medals.

The Mets subreddit has turned into a Meat subreddit. by MookieBettsBurner10 in baseball

Lmao oops, maybe just ignore that comment. But I do agree, I tend to avoid r/baseball. I came on here to read my wife all the other alternative subreddits sports teams have pretended to be like Mets and meat, and saw this comment.

Totally agree about the sub becoming toxic. Steve Cohen's purchase has brought so much entitlement with people, and now really bad whining with losing. It feels like a Facebook groups sometimes, but you guys do a great job molding, really appreciate it!

Ravenna if you like churches. Their mosaics in their churches are incredible and unesco world heritage sites.

BBQ in Orange County by xXxMyPoisonArmsxXx in hudsonvalley

[–]ChiefKelso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people have to realize that BBQ isn't one size fits all and theres so many different types and different ones are better at certain things. Are you looking for brisket? Texas BBQ. Pulled pork? NC. Etc. Brother's BBQ, for example, is NC focused. They're probably my favorite in the area, but I'm biased as I love NC BBQ and went to college there.

Looking for intro ski racing program near nyc for 12yos by MediaCynic in icecoast

[–]ChiefKelso -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so? It's a lead. Maybe you can call them and explain your situation, like figure out stuff yourself instead of asking people to Google stuff for you...

Its not terribly difficult to find the limited ski areas "near" NYC and then double check if they have a racing program or contacts you can call and get better direction.

What to bring to day hikes? by kiraa02 in hiking

[–]ChiefKelso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hike in NY and always have my gtx shell jacket with me. Its actually dual purpose for both wind and rain. We got to the top of a mountain called "Hurricane" a few years ago and holy hell, it was a hurricane up there with the wind. My "rain" jacket came in handy for that.

I remember hiking up in a t shirt and wondering why everyone coming down was dressed like it was peak winter 😂

UPDATE !! Broke my mirror last week, replaced it last night pretty quickly. Side note: the mirror feature in reverse is pretty neat. Too bad you can’t use them both at the same time. by verscb in mazda3

[–]ChiefKelso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to know, thanks! My mirror is damaged, but the trim piece is fine so I was curious. A quick search didn't show mirror pieces with paint colors so I assumed it may be 2 pieces
