Well, I figured out a way to make something like homemade club soda:

* Mix water and citric acid
* Add some baking soda
* Stir for a while

It will fizz and get bubbly, and be carbonated.

I imagine you could do the same thing with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and baking soda, since it reacts, too.

But, if you don't want to drink plain carbonated water with somewhat of a salty taste, you might try mixing baking soda into orange juice, lemonade, limeade or something instead.

Note that the sourness from the citric acid can disappear when mixed with water and baking soda.

So, this discussion was going on at Tomatoville:
http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=50799

I can't use Tomatoville anymore; so, I'll post my reply here whether or not anyone gets it.

As far as market qualities go, I'd suggest these:

Cold Black Brandy. Firm and durable. Exceptional high quality taste. Large, pear shape.

Carbon: Excellent taste; market qualities seem quite reasonable.

Black Cherry (at least the version of it that I grew of it): The fruits seemed to have good market appeal, in my opinion. The taste was excellent.

Probably SunChocola F1 (I tried an F2 in 2020, and it was awesome; not sure about it's market qualities, but they seemed fine; it's for taste that I mention it, though. I've never tried the F1.)

BSX: Gets a lot of big tomatoes early on when people probably want tomatoes most. The taste is standard black tomato taste like Black Giant and Black Bear (not profound like the others I've mentioned). Market qualities are probably normal.

Black Giant: Just a good all-around tomato. Flavor is about normal for a black tomato.

Check this out:




Normally, Christmas cactuses have two sides (and two ends), but this one has three ends. This is a cutting of a pink-flowering Christmas cactus. I used to think it was an Easter cactus, but nope: the flowers look just like those of my pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. I'm guessing it's a hybrid Christmas cactus, though, since it flowers at Easter.

See this similar post about a Thanksgiving cactus:

Check this out:




This is a cutting of an extra-succulent pink-flowering Thanksgiving cactus. Normally segments are flat, but this one has three ends, with part of a fourth on the bottom (which may not be very visible, in the picture, if visible at all).

See this similar post about a Christmas cactus:

I used to think this Thanksgiving cactus was a Christmas cactus, but nope. It's either a Thanksgiving cactus or a hybrid with one. It does flower at Christmas, though (and no, I didn't get it from a store).

This thread is for software goals of mine, one goal per post.

Develop a command-line text editor (yes, command-line text editors and even word processors exist: e.g. WordGrinder, Nano, and Norton Textra Writer) that

1. Fully supports Unicode, and that has the standard navigation and editing keyboard shortcuts (like ctrl+backspace to delete a word, Ctrl+arrow keys to move back and forth a word or up and down a paragraph, Ctrl+Z for undo, Ctrl+c for copy, etc.
2. Can run successfully on Termux.
3. Is written in Python 3.x, Vala/Genie, or some such.

This text editor will incorporate at least the following features:
1. Favorites (press a keyboard shortcut, such as Ctrl+d, to bring up an input box to type in the name of a favorite to save or a different keyboard shortcut, such as Ctrl+shift+d to type the name of a favorite to load; more than one file or file position can be recorded in a single favorite; loading a favorite loads all the files that are saved into tabs).
2. A tabbed interface, with different files being loaded in different tabs.
3. Spellcheck
4. The ability to create relations (with context) between entities (whether those entities are files or file-like things within a file).
5. Document statistics
6. A status bar.
7. The ability to launch code to execute.
8. Compose keys/schemes
9. Text styles would be nice (bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, etc.)
10. The ability to make links would be very nice.
11. The ability to change text size with ctrl+= and ctrl+-.
12. Supports composing hypertext fiction, and similar, easily.
13. E-book reader features.
14. And so on and so forth.

Anyway, the purpose of making it a command-line application is to make it so it can be used easily on Android (or pretty much any OS) without having to install some such as Ubuntu or Debian. Command-lines don't generally take nearly as many resources to install. Also, it might speed things up.

I've already created a similar text editor with Tkinter in Python3, but Tkinter doesn't work easily in Android, unfortunately.

The above article talks about the Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess', and a scam with Philodendron 'Pink Congo'; it lets us know about how the prices have risen for pink plants. They're still high even as I write this.
