That was a great glass of juice, are you kidding? Do you know anything about fresh-squeezed orange juice?; १५/२/१३, ८:४८ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: "Is that iced coffee in the tall glass? In February? Can't be. But then what is it? Cocoa?"

It's hot espresso with hot whole milk. Coffee milk. Hot. In a glass.; १५/२/१३, ८:४९ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: It's not like he put an orange seed in a glass of unfresh juice from a carton.

It was fresh-squeezed orange juice — new, improved, with that fresh-squeezed orange juice look.

I know it's not supposed to have seeds in it.; १५/२/१३, ८:५७ AM
Bob म्हणाले...: Wow, three replies from Althouse defending Meade's orange-squeezing abilities. How about lemons, though? (obscure musical reference, there).; १५/२/१३, ९:०० AM
Meade म्हणाले...: I could have said I left in a a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering, the product of the ripened ovule of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant.

But I was afraid that might have seemed unappetizing.; १५/२/१३, ९:०५ AM

It's because his Althouse-squeezing abilities are that much better.; १५/२/१३, ९:०७ AM
Wince म्हणाले...: Surprised Althouse hasn't posted on that stranded cruise ship towed to the port of Mobile...

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?
Stuck outside of Mobile

Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...: How do limes not have seeds? I did ask the almighty internet and it seemed to say sometimes you do get a rare seed and plant it and everything else is about grafting and other propagation possibilities and some flowers don't need seeds, or just saying parthenocarpic plant skirts the answer. That's saying it doesn't have to. Okay. So then how do I get a lime orchard, before scientific techniques were known, plant a row or limes? Break off a twig? What is the point of a fruit for a plant if it doesn't feed a seed? Are limes a product of science? It doesn't make sense for a plant to expend energy to flower and fruit without a seed being involved.

This is the sort of thing I'd ask a teacher and she'd look at me and I'd sit there and think, oh shit while she formulated a response for a perfect little idiot. I saw that look a couple times.; १५/२/१३, ९:२७ AM
Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...: Orange you glad I didn't say banana?; १५/२/१३, ९:३३ AM
Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...: Did you say something? I was oranging my sock drawer.; १५/२/१३, ९:३७ AM
Chip S. म्हणाले...: Looks tangy.; १५/२/१३, ९:४१ AM
Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...: the re-oranged sock drawer is over there by the lemon tree I planted from seeds a couple years ago, I think, and now it's six feet tall. Except there are a few orange seeds in there too so I'm not positive, but pretty sure, it's a lemon tree. It's a single branch that shoots straight up off the side of another thing. So it divided way down there. I pinched it at five feet and it ignored it and kept right on growing straight up. It drops leaves and grows them back. I'm very proud of it, that the group stayed alive better than an avocado group did.; १५/२/१३, ९:४३ AM

Just strain it through your teeth.

Hows the Jeep?; १५/२/१३, ९:४४ AM

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: I like the idea of buying all orange socks and then waiting and waiting for the day when someone asks you why all your socks are orange, so you can make Chip Ahoy's pun: I like to keep my sock drawer well-oranged.; १५/२/१३, ९:५६ AM
gadfly म्हणाले...: I didn't know that you could buy orange juice with seeds left in it. What is the brand?; १५/२/१३, ९:५८ AM

Everything sounds better in Italian.; १५/२/१३, १०:२१ AM

How do you know what our circumstances were?; १५/२/१३, १:१७ PM
ken in tx म्हणाले...: In 1966, our high school band marched in the Orange Bowl parade. I played trombone. On the bus trip down, we stopped at a rest stop on the Florida turnpike. I ordered a glass of fresh squeezed Florida orange juice. It was watery and thin with clumps of pulp and seeds. I was disappointed.

Another thing that happened, was as I was looking out an open window of the bus in Miami, an old guy outside asked me if I wanted a free ticket. I said, “Sure.” He gave me card that said 'Free Ticket' on one side, and read , 'it's not good for anything, but it's free' on the other.; १५/२/१३, २:०० PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: How do you know what our circumstances were?

I was peering through your window.; १५/२/१३, २:१३ PM
Palladian म्हणाले...: And, may I just add, you both look great in Lurex!; १५/२/१३, २:१५ PM
AllenS म्हणाले...: Re: AllenS's Jeep.

I'm on to plan B. Having completed the new front brake caliper replacement, I'm also replacing the lines from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve. When sitting for 2 days there is a leak down by the proportioning valve from the lines from the MC. Big work stuff ahead.

Big mistake:

Stainless steel lines seemed like such a good idea. I've learned since then that they are not pliable at all. Best to go with someone who sells nickel/copper lines. More pliable -- mo better.; १५/२/१३, २:४० PM
Unknown म्हणाले...: Fresh squeezed orange juice was the ultimate luxury for us when I was growing up. If we had it once a year we were lucky.; १५/२/१३, ३:२१ PM

I just used the soft steel ones for mine.
Stainless workhardens and if they don't anneal it to soften it up again it is difficult to work with.; १५/२/१३, ५:०५ PM
