    But when the military pisses away billions on equipment that doesn’t work, everbody’s like “meh, what are ya gonna do?”

    That is a lot of apples.

    Apples are one of my least favorite fruits. The cold storage always makes them mealy.

        All depends on the time of the year. Apples are routinely stored in cold storage. It’s why we can get them year round.

          If they’re mealy, you’re probably buying Red Delicious, a horrible mainstream cultivar that are known for that. I’ve never tasted another apple with that awful texture. You could probably try some other varieties and not have that problem.

              Those are the absolute worst apples. They’ve been selecvtively bred for storage and appearance vs. flavor and texture. Buying the most horrible, mainstream variety is what I’d expect from a conservative community mod. Maybe get a different kind? Pretty much anything… gala, fuji, cosmic crisp, envy.

                It’s what my girlfriend buys and she’s a democrat.

                I don’t buy apples. I buy nectarines, kiwi, bananas and anything other than apples

                  Sounds reasonable. Apples are pretty basic fruit. I’d rather eat peppers and a tomato as far as fruit goes.
