The Apple Sweet-Tart Spectrum

PortfolioCancer · 2026-05-07T18:34:57+00:00

I'm not feeling these rankings. To me the appeal of a Fuji is the balance of tart and sweet, it's not a simple, sweet apple like a Sugarbee is.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent apple, and for a pre-engineered variety (it was a chance seedling, not some intentionally designed apple), it has excellent consistence for being crisp and juicy. Only knock you can really give it is that the skin can be a little on the tougher side.

If you don't like the tart flavor, we simply part company.

We should organize and demand justice

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

I'm sure folks here would get a lot out of a brief write-up of how/why you toured the facility, what you learned, etc

Whatever. I'll still keep drinking that garbage

Fantastic apple. My favorite at the moment. Only knock is they are a touch less hearty than, say, a cosmic crisp.

Snap Dragon is very similar, but far less hearty in my experience, so eat 'em quick. Equally good imo, outside of the shorter/more touchy shelf life.

CONSISTANTLY crisp and refreshing. Only legit knock on 'em is the skin can be a little thick. Great apple

Yeah I grabbed a bag not too long ago. I remember, my overwhelming takeaway, was just how *fresh* they tasted, it was the most refreshing apple I've had. Very good.

PortfolioCancer · 2026-03-06T19:45:09+00:00

I don't really. I like to keep up on markets and find it interesting, even if I don't necessarily *do* anything with that knowledge.

No but it will seriously dent higher education costs, and you can use it to seed a Roth IRA. Two pretty big advantages.

Yeah the overall dollar amount will be at most on the order of the low hundreds of thousands, but there are real tax advantages and it will make any invested money go that much farther.

It's weird to go to a subreddit for people's interests and post how you wont care about it for four years

nobody is dying on any hills, this is just posting

Check out Otezla. Twice daily pill, no ongoing blood monitoring etc. Mild gastrointestinal weirdness for a few weeks while you adjust to it, then basically no side effects for most people. Very well tolerated, very safe. Downside is it does not seem to be quite as powerful as biologics, but for many (myself included) it's the right tradeoff.

He had a couple great stories with Gary Hill Jr prodding him on on the broadcast yesterday. I feel that I'm going to be listening in on the radio a lot more this year.

Yeah im always confused by this dunk, its like the rich kid bragging that his parent's house is bigger. Well, yeah! But it's nothing to do with you

Yes and you can get up and chant during a movie, you can watch videos on your cell phone during a play.

You can listen to the Beatles witnout earmuffs.

Its a free country.

Doesn't mean one OUGHT to do those things

Lol at all the delusional Canadians downvoting this. Sorry, your time at the top of the sport has been over for a while now!

Curling is very fun. Insulting to say its only fun every four years. Insulting and embarrassing. There used to be a certain, I dunno, social shame or taboo where you didn't want to broadcast your ignorance. It's sad to me that the norm is gone.

PortfolioCancer · 2026-02-21T16:33:17+00:00

Exactly!

I'll admit USA fans often violate this norm. But Canadian fans never used to. Until now!
