I have no interest in changing an obviously uneducated opinion.
I’ll continue to enjoy my iPhone, my development MacBook Pro, my Windows gaming rig, my Linux server, and everything else that I choose to buy because I use all of it, happily every day.
I used to listen to JRE when it was just about wacky coast-to-coast-am type stuff, comedians, drugs, and mma. One of the lingering quotes that stick in my mind is Joe talking about how when someone is being an idiot or antagonistic, he imagines them as a little baby. How they used to be a blank slate of potential and now there’s a long story leading up to this encounter. It apparently helped him calm down and try to be level headed.
What he was talking about is essentially sonder, “The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one’s own, which they are constantly living despite one’s personal lack of awareness of it.”
Anyway, JRE is total garbage now and has been for years and years
Lmao rational? He is just a goofy guy that talks about what he thinks is cool and can’t stop believing any bullshit he gets told. “Woke” is a dumb word but at least that part of your opinion makes sense as a description of the podcast.
I didnt say him, I meant his guests. That word is used by legitmate organizations and is an adjective. I dont see how you made that connection. Your opinion is yours, like I have mine.
You may be right about the goofy part! But (unless it’s FOX or Trump’s Truth Social feed /s), take care not to make fun of someone for what content they consume. (and if that wasn’t your intention, just ignore everything I said lol)
The world views and opinions that Joe Rogan and his guests are spoon feeding to you are not rational or outside of any woke narrative. If anything they are more scripted and pre-determined than if you just aggregated information from different sources. Please educate yourself.
That’s definitely from someone who never tasted a home grown tomatoe or waters theirs a lot too often, you can buy tomatoes but they taste like literal shit in comparison! ;)
Mine are on the balkony because I don’t have a garden this year, shitty but at least there is less competition if I leave them, well if you would leave any of them even long enough to ripe properly that is!
Don’t put tomatoes in the fridge, if possible. Put them in the sun, if they need to ripen more, otherwise put them somewhere dark and cool, but not cold.
Basically, store them like potatoes. 50-55F is ideal. They can stay for weeks like that.
(This is all said with the understanding that the tomatoes are whole/uncut. Once they’re chopped up, the fridge is the best option, but they’re only good for a few days)
What do you mean? Normal fridge temps are too cold for things like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, basil, etc.
I’m talking about a cool garage, basement, a root cellar. Somewhere cooler, so that the ripening process is slowed down to increase shelf life, but not so cold that they get shitty and mushy and gross.
I know but about half of the many houses I lived in didn’t have anything like that, I just want a old earth cellar to store stuff but that’s luxery by now.
So of course tomatoes eaten directly off the plant are gonna be “superior” (I personally prefer them a bit cold but that’s just preference), storing tomatoes like potatoes or onions is just completely incorrect if mostly because when you tell people to do that, they’re gonna immediately go to stick them under their sink. While potatoes and onions do well in cool dry storage, they still have a resistance to temperatures above what anyone should be storing tomatoes at.
While it’s correct to state that tomatoes shouldn’t be stored at temperatures below 40°F, saying “don’t refrigerate tomatoes” is complete BS. Most refrigerators aren’t cooling down to the 30 range, and even if they are your tomato is still gonna do better there than in is on your shelf if you’re trying to keep it for a longer period of time.
That being said, if you have a tomato that you want to ripen a bit, store it out of the fridge on your counter, it will help it out a bit. But as for a ripe tomato? Keep it in your fridge. We pick hundreds of pounds of tomatoes a week at my farm, most of them are sold only a day or two after picking at our farm stand, but we still have to refrigerate them over night because if we don’t, they will turn to shit, and no one is gonna pay to eat a shitty tomato that’s been festering overnight during a hot summer, especially if you live in a humid area. Potatoes and onions on the other we leave out overnight and they do fine for days without any discernable difference.
Refrigerate your tomatoes, keep your fridge set to a reasonable temp (40-44°F), do not treat your tomatoes like onions or potatoes.
I think the issue is they taste of nothing, and the flesh is all this mealy mush texture. People have a surprisingly low standard of what the accept as a tomato
Yea! Many evdn try to grow their own but water them too much and don’t taste the real difference because of that. I love tomatoes but the store bough ones really suck even in summer! (I get that they can’t taste all that ripe in winter)
