I have HA on a separate VLAN from IoT devices and have set up mDNS reflection so it can find them.

He does? He essentially denied any wrongdoing, only in a roundabout way.

Yes that’s fair. I live away from home now where bananas are always shipped by sea.

My understanding is that they reap the banana still green, stall their ripening (presumably by somehow making the ethylene inert or some other mechanism), then accelerate their ripening upon arrival.

This has the very evident effect of making the bananas last a very few days in between becoming ripe and getting mushy and improper for consumption.

Back home, they last maybe 4-8 weeks at different stages of ripening, from thick and bright yellow skin with a firm and slightly dry and zesty fruit, to a fairly blackened and fragile skin with a very soft and sweet fruit but still not yet mushy and gooey.

It’s common here to eat green bananas, to the point that many locals think that’s how it’s “supposed” to be. I have explained to friends that’s not the case and it has transformed their views of the fruit. It’s quite curious!

Thank you for that. It’s always nice to be “corrected” by a stranger who has no idea what they’re talking about.

Having had both mandarin and orange trees in back gardens in Brazil, I stand by my confidence.

From a link posted elsewhere in this thread:

When they’re expose to temperatures below 55°F (12.7°C) for long enough, the green chlorophyll breaks down and the orange carotenoids surfaces in a process called “degreening.”

Are you confidently suggesting that in Brazil it doesn’t get colder than 12.7°C? I have a land plot on the moon to sell you. Or, if you prefer to be educated instead, I can point you to some lovely mountainous places to visit in Brazil with a chance to see snow and some of the absolute best artisanal chocolate in the world!

Hell when I was a kid I saw snow at ocean level even!

I can also say that bananas are quite yellow when ripe, without additives. Have had banana trees in 2 different houses, of 2 different banana varieties.

Having grown up in Brazil, I can confidently say that most of our oranges are indeed orange. Green is usually the colour of non-ripe ones and you can expect extreme acidity from them.

On LG WebOS, the Homebrew Store has an Ad-free YouTube app that works well too.

I have 2 strips that are tied to their systems and they keep giving me trouble. The Matter stuff though, has been rock solid and there’s no need to use their app at all.

I have a couple of Matter-over-WiFi (no dongle required) from Meross.

They’ve been fine since the latest firmware when they added power monitoring over Matter (previously it required their app for that as the protocol itself was lacking those sensors).

I think that’s just people. Lemmy just happens to be one of the forums where that’s observed.

But if they are indeed right, and that fire they have about it is used to defend their point-of-view until it’s been so scrutinised and counter-argued that either it has been shown to be incorrect, or no counter could undo the initial argument, is that not progress?

Lemmy is not academy. This is a web forum, most of us are not here to do formal science.

Guess what, most if not all veggies and vegans are also doing something morally dubious at best.

Factory farming, extensive farming, they’re all bad for the soil, bad for native wildlife, bad for native plants. The societal impacts of factory farming are also not small. In the end, the moral lines people draw are mostly at different places, neither is undoubtedly better than the other.

As it currently stands, the morally correct option for food production would probably be for a large amount of the population to starve. That, of course, is also not entirely morally correct.

Disclaimer: I am personally omnivorous. I have a son and many other relatives and friends who are or were vegetarians or vegans. I love a lot of veggie food and used to frequent vegan restaurants, so I have absolutely zero qualms with it.

I have personally tried to give up meat twice, once for 6 months and once for a year. On both cases my health suffered massively for it, and I went back to eating meat. I had a cousin who was, for many years, a hardcore vegetarian. She was also of the opinion that eating meat was wrong. A few years ago she reintroduced fish in her diet to overcome health issues after fighting them for years. Most symptoms subsided in a handful of months. I believe she now also eats beef, although infrequently and in small quantities.

I’m sorry to be that guy but reality is more complex than whatever moral line any one of us would like to draw. You’re not wrong but it would behoove you to acquire some nuance on your thoughts.

Amazingly, the same countries who are at risk due to aging/decreasing populations are the ones now refusing as much entry of people from other countries as they can.

And there’s always regex101.com to help develop and test your expressions!

Of course it is. I’m not disputing the fact that different people have different preferences and needs. I’m disputing the idea that a restaurant should never have a phone line unless it’s used to take reservations.

Yeah possibly. The article doesn’t specify it but I’ve seen systems that would give you the automated message but still put you through if you stayed on the line.

I, on the other hand, prefer to do it online and wouldn’t mind this. Horses for courses.

Why even have a phone number if it is useless?

Really? Are reservations the only use for a phone?
