I was not expecting the fruit from our ornamental pomegranate to be as tasty as it is.

This is a Peppy Le Pom variety.

The description says:

These develop into tiny little pomegranate fruits, which, while technically edible, have only a few small, sour seeds inside, so they're really best appreciated on the plant.

I tried one pip last year and boy was it sour. I just assumed they were basically inedible based on that. I just left the fruit on the plant this year, but they’re really old now and some had spit open so I decided to check a pip again. It was tasty enough I grabbed all 3-4 fruits that had split.

When you have several bags on the go at once, how do you decide what to brew?

I don’t. I open one at a time and the rest hang out in the freezer.

Tangentially related, though: I never know how to handle when the end of the current bag has fewer beans than I want to brew.

  • Toss them? Seems like such a waste, but I do typically brew single servings, so “brew less” isn’t usually an option
  • Make and an ad hoc blend with the start of the next bag? I’m not too good for this but I do want to try the next bag as is; particularly when it’s a new-to-me bean.
  • Something else? Interested in suggestions…

Reddit stock tumbles the most on record as lack of new AI deals, US daily users metric disappoints

CEO Steve Huffman said, "These deals aren't binary. They have to make sense for Reddit, but there are many ways, I think, for the value to return to Reddit."

lol - “The value has left Reddit”

Who could imagine when you piss off:

  1. third party devs who make the apps your best contributers use
  2. your unpaid content creators
  3. your unpaid moderators

…that the “value” would leave 🤣

Utah Governor Laments He Can’t Blame an Immigrant for Kirk’s Death

“For 33 hours, I was … I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn’t be one of us. That somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country,” he said. “Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for. Just because I thought it would make it easier on us if we could just say ‘Hey, we don’t do that here.’”

Now that you’ve had to admit, “Hey, we do do that here” what are you doing with that? Have you experienced any epiphanies?
