I'd rather fall back and sleep for an extra hour

people tend to have more health problems like heart attack during the spring forward when they lose an hour of sleep

how many heart problems would there be from the sun rising at 3am all summer and messing up sleep for weeks

fujis are great, so are galas, so are honeycrisps

basically any apple but red "delicious" apples. I guess they're ok if you cut the skin off, maybe

they weren't always awful

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/the-evil-reign-of-the-red-delicious/379892/

quote:

Apples that turned rosy before they were fully ripe could be picked earlier and stored longer, and skins with more red pigment tended to be thicker, which extended shelf life and hid bruises. But as genes for beauty were favored over those for taste, the skins grew tough and bitter around mushy, sugar-soaked flesh.

exactly what it sounds like, people are making new kinds of apples all the time:

http://www.nyapplecountry.com/varieties/24-rubyfrost-new

http://www.nyapplecountry.com/varieties/25-snapdragon-new

many of them are made right in my backyard:

In addition to SnapDragon and RubyFrost, Cornell has released 66 apple varieties since the late 1890s, including the popular Cortland, Macoun, Empire and Jonagold.

thats not living in NY thats living in "upstate ny" which might as well be the south

upstate new york is awesome and full of neat regular-sized cities and some cute small towns

as someone who moved from syracuse to charlotte in the last year this is not as accurate as you might think

unless you're talking like oswego county because oswego county specifically is the loving dregs of humanity

i've been to oswego and over to chimney bluffs and both seemed nice :shobon:

i didn't know that this was a thing

apples are great!! it's actually really hard to make new apples because:

quote:

However, like most perennial fruits, apples are ordinarily propagated asexually by grafting. This is because seedling apples are an example of "extreme heterozygotes", in that rather than inheriting DNA from their parents to create a new apple with those characteristics, they are instead significantly different from their parents.

it's really easy to make new apples because you can plant seeds from any apple and you get apple trees with all new apples

you're right i should be more specific

it's really hard to make new good apples that people want to eat
