  • "Regular" peas are are still harvested immature only at a later development stage. Fully mature peas are very hard like a dry bean.

    Sweet corn contains gene mutations that reduces the sugar to starch conversion in the kernal. So the sugar builds up in the kernal instead. The varieties are classified by the gene or combinations of genes they contain (su, se, or sh2). When the seed is fully mature and dry the seed looks like a raisin because of the lack of starch

    I used to have reaction times like that made other people weep. I was constantly on watchlists for cheating and even banned by a few poor losers in private servers. Those days are well in the past now.

  • The kitchen, dining and living room being together is pretty normal in smaller places. I have lived in several that were open that way over the years. It's not great but it's doable. The lack of wall space so less cabinets/closets and overall storage is the usual problem.

    However the bedroom.... That's a bit too far.

  • This is what happens when the main tap root is pruned on a carrot. Look up nematode damage on carrots and it looks very similar.

    If that carrot was from the grocery store, you'll not be successfull in producing seed without another OP plant. Hybrid carrot seeds are produced using a cytoplasmic male sterility gene. This gene mutation blocks the pollen formation on the plants flowers.

    In order to produce viable seed, you need another plant without the CMS gene to produce pollen.

    In commercial production they use three lines: male line (OP), Female line (CMS) and the maintainer line (OP). The female line and maintainer line are around 99% genetically identical in the nuclear DNA. They use the maintainer line to cross with the CMS female line to produce more female (CMS) seed. They then cross the female line (CMS) with the male line (OP) to produce hybrid seed for sale. The hybrid is CMS like the female line.

  • Looks like damage from a probing insect. Something like stinkbug.

    Leave it alone and and it will heal up on its own.

  • Hard to positively identify the species but it's looks a type of winged aphid.

    Spray them off with a hose first to clear off the ones your can. If they do have wings you'll need to do some chemical control. I would apply pyrethrin or neem for longer control.

    I really need a better picture of just one bug to positively identify it. Try taking a shot at maximum resolution (DPI) and maximum physical zoom.

  • Slight clarification

    A brix meter measures soluable solids in the juice. A major portion of which is sugar.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    Changes in Brix does not slways correlate exactly with sugar content as other soluable solids are included in reading. Things like carotinoids etc. A little something to pay attention too when comparing varieties.

  • It's a bit worse than just mean. Mormon theology quietly embraces narcissistic behavior and violence.

    In Mormonism having one cigarette or a cup of coffee = going to hell.

    They also have a toxic belief of avoiding the "appearance of evil". Aka it also a major sin if you let people think you are okay with taking part in the activity.

    For children under 8 years old, if the parents fail to correct their kids, the sins they do become the parents responsibility.

    Beating your child is perfectly acceptable and an approved method of correction in Mormonism.

  • Sigh... Thanks for the shitty memory unlock.

    First off my parents were extremely Mormon growing up and the religion bans tobacco use.

    When I was about 5 ran up to one of these machines and started to play with it. I had a grand time for about 2 minutes until my mother spotted me. A quick smack to the side of the head to knock me down and around 20 spanks ended the fun. I then got a 30 minute screaming tirade about touching the evil devil machines on the drive home.

    And my mother wonders why I haven't spoken to her in over a decade.

  • October 25th is the date that most stores pull down the Halloween stuff and transition to Christmas stuff. It's not unusual for most stores to have zero Halloween stuff on the shelves on Halloween.

    The seasonal arrival of Spirit in the many empty commercial buildings has made this worse. Regular stores bring in less merchandize and are often stocking Christmas stuff 2 or 3 weeks before Halloween in my area.

  • Pull out some plants. What you are looking for is an unhealthy looking portion of the stem near where the soil meets the stem. It can be above or below the surface.

    You might need a magnifying glass or use the magnification lens of you phone camera.
