How I Saved Grapefruitmas
« on: Tue, 16 December 2014, 15:28:51 »
Through shopping haste, Tp4 was cursed with a sub-par grapefruit that was parched inside..

However, Tp4 theorizes that if the content lost through evaporation is merely water.. then the grapefruit's essential essences should've remained intact..

And SO.. The withered fruit has been arduously peeled and placed in a blender.

Then using numerous internet cross-referencing for the average weight-to-volume ratio of the pomelo grapefruit..  A precise rehydration volume of dihydrogen monoxide was calibrated..


Ya'll be happy to know.. that It worked Perfectly.. and the juice is as delectable as fresh squeeze..

Didn't you already have a grapefruit thread?
tp thread is tp thread
Sometimes it's like he accidentally makes a thread instead of a google search.

So did you use an Asian pomelo (smaller and more tart) or a normal grapefruit (approx size of a softball)?  Asian pomelo is awful if you eat it straight. I make my own youzicha/柚子茶/youjuja with them though and that's yummy.
I'm back.

I can't believe I just read another one of these threads :))
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

This month is all about adding the precise amount of water-to-stuff to make stuff better.

tp4, sometimes I absolutely hate your guts, mostly when you say stupid ****.

Other times, I can't help but appreciate your uniqueness.

This is an example of the latter.

I commend your tenacity. I would have chucked it and bought a new one.

Tp4 is like moisture... you may be stone, but a few cold nights in addition to my condensat-ing goodness, and I shall carve through you.
