Soooooo we ordered 3 oranges with our grocery delivery

[conuly]

We did not get three oranges. They substituted something else.

Do you want to guess what?

Three VERY large boxes of mixed salad greens!

I don't know what they were thinking, honestly. "Here, this will fight scurvy!"

Guess: 1 Pomelo?

Edit: I guess not. Wow, idk how you get that from oranges...

Also, I am generally against the whole substack atomization trend but... If I could just get Ed Yong's the Atlantic, I'd be pretty happy.

It's a normal grocery store and not a farm share? Because I could totally see a farm share just throwing infinite greens at people on any excuse at all...

[conuly]

If a NYC farm share starts offering oranges, I don't know what I'll do! No, this was just stop and shop.

Fighting scurvy is important. You must fight it with whatever you have available.

:D

Limes being traditional. ;) Though I suppose some order might board with kale. Friar Tuck, High Seas edition?

[pauamma]

Limes, not lemons?

AUGH, WHY WOULD SHE REVEAL THIS IN PUBLIC?! Did she think this wasn't still useful?

Musical (and more generally, audio) steganography's been studied publicly for at least 20 years. See eg, https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1017&context=senior_theses or https://www.sans.org/white-papers/677/.

lolWTF?

[pauamma]

Please tell me that scurvy grass was part of the mix.

[agoodwinsmith]

I think they thought they had excess boxes of greens.

[wpadmirer]

Salad and oranges have nothing to do with one another. Unless they're tiny little mandarins.
