I love this book! More people should know about it. 😊
A fellow future lizard!
1817807, here. Yours may be the smallest number I’ve ever seen.
I’ll just leave this here…
I mean, there certainly are a shit load of chickens around, but that’s a newer development.
Hua can also mean fruit, so it’s possible it means “chicken fruit.” I’m not sure that makes any more sense, though.
Here’s a video of a family tasting the banana and describing the flavor.
tl;dw: The flavor is similar to Cavendish. One person thought it was sweeter and had “more banana” flavor. One person didn’t feel that was the case. The texture was described as “thick and chewy,” and not as “fluffy” as the Cavendish. Overall they liked it.
And bananas are berries!
The Gros Michel isn’t extinct, just hard to find.
“Hua moa” is Hawaiian for “chicken egg.”
Donut car all day.
This is my airplane go to. Love it!

Came to say the same thing. Zeno’s paradoxes are fun. 😄
I know groceries are expensive, but damn!
The scam in question, from the article:
McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.
“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”
The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.
Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.
“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”
Haku is a Hawaiian word. Haku leis are worn on the head.
How is no one talking about head splitters? Am I the only person who hadn’t heard of these before?
Spices have entered the chat.
Apparently not. I wonder why I didn’t see that? And judging by the upvotes on my comment, neither did several other people. 🤷
