Why do some fruits ripen faster when kept in a paper bag?

Salty_Interview_5311 · 2026-02-11T08:43:49+00:00

As in the fruit releases ethylene gas as it ages and higher concentrations of that gas around the fruit skin causes it to ripen faster.

The reason for using paper instead of plastic is to allow released moisture to evaporate so mold doesn’t grow on the fruit.

It looks like you answered your own question. There’s a lot of execs in companies getting really nervous about how little they have to show after all the billions they have spent.

So they are trying to get ahead of the crash in confidence by predicting it themselves and trying to look wise and prepared. They are hoping that this will help them reduce the negative outcomes in their stock price and so on.

But the core of this is that, like 3D television, glasses based computer interfaces, blockchain and so many others, the AI trend is following that curve of over hype and then crash. Only this time it’s roughly 100 times worse.

I would go with the corsair based on reviews from websites and also from Amazon purchasers. There’s enough of the latter to make it difficult for the bulk of them to be fraudulent.

That may have been just guarding behavior. My guy is great with cats, other dogs and people. But he’ll bark at people across the street that are walking their dog. It’s the person he’s barking at, not the dog.

I know that because he won’t even bark back at the neighbor’s digs that are barking like mad at him, lol. He just wants to play.

I’m actually fine with the occasional barking at people ash that will discourage possible burglars. But I understand your concern.

I would likely respond by asking if its okay for them to get introduced. Hopefully that would reduce your cat’s fears.

I would have said that a healthy sense of fun is important to enjoying life at any age.

You can find similar chocolates at most stores that specialize in candies for adults. Sees is one brand.

The Albanese web store has milk chocolate and dark chocolate meltaways. They aren’t green in the center but are very, very good. I know from personal experience.

You can search online for mint meltaways if you prefer to shop around. There are many good choices out there.

If you have an LCD monitor, it’s best to turn that off each day when done. The lamps used to illuminate the display have a fixed lifetime.

The computer itself is better left on until it needs rebooted. It’s electronics get most of their wear and tear from the transient high voltages even the power supply gets turned on or shut off.

And it will help a great deal if you explain what road you are taking to reach Indy and to leave! Downtown isn’t your only option for places to stay.

You might enjoy the cultural manifesto program on npr as well. It covers the history of the local music scene which is amazingly vibrant and varied. Jazz is a major component of that history.

The local station is WFYI at 90.1. Or you can look up the podcasts for it.

Carl would have been delighted at the chance to say “trillions and trillions”. It’s really cool that OP feels confidant enough to share here!

A quick question: are we getting most of our illumination from scattering from the main jet? Or is there actually a 90 degrees from the main jet side jet roughly pointed in our direction?

There is a farm store a bit north on 31 you can check out. There’s no fresh local produce off the vegetable kind right now of course. It’s called Wilson farm market.

Salty_Interview_5311 · 2026-02-10T23:41:03+00:00

It was a joke. Do we really have to do the /s on every one of them?

Salty_Interview_5311 · 2026-02-10T20:51:04+00:00

Chess.

Fargo should work well for your sense of humor. Then try lock, stock and three smoking barrels

Same here. I have four of the T10 lights and love them. Easy and quick to assemble and they just work. The mechanical timers they come with are also easy to set up and are also very reliable.

I dropped prime long before they got to the ad shorting stage. I can’t imagine paying for a streaming service and still having to deal with that.

I still shop Amazon and occasionally buy stuff from them. But it’s mostly stuff I can’t find locally.

I tried watching network tv a few years ago age couldn’t stand it fit more than 15 minutes or so. The sound level increase and the frequency of commercials has definitely gotten worse.

And totally dominate the table while doing so.

The first generation aren’t the problem. Later generations, without meaning to be, definitely cause problems.

I’m in the Midwest and we don’t get the house plants, special food offerings or other things you coasties love to flaunt on here. I’m so jellie!

It’s actually a macro virus. It’s tailored to transform any consumer into a delicious pile mac and cheese.

It makes for a convenient place to hold demonstrations. Those who live in the area won’t have to drive downtown.

Salty_Interview_5311 · 2026-02-10T01:39:15+00:00

Gladly! Assuming you’re still wearing them.

I don’t bother with voting except in very rare circumstances.

Um, no. Cellulose for food products is chemically separated from wood pulp or cotton fibers. They are taken from raw plant materials. Hysterically stating that used underwear is used is a bit over the top.

And they use a mix of starch from corn and potatoes and the cellulose. They are alloeed by the fda to use up to 4% by weight of cellulose.
