Just tell them to Let Off Some Steam.

Ask them do an interpretive dance to distract the kidnappers.

Wait for it…

We have a really established tree in the backyard. Some years it produces 100+ lbs of fruit. We distribute it all among family, school, and neighbors.

These look like Hachiya (vs Fuyu which stays firm). Most people just ripen them on a window-sill until soft, then twist the stem off and eat them with a spoon. The squishier, the sweeter. Once ripe, best to keep them refrigerated, otherwise they go bad really fast.

Also heard people used them for smoothies, bread, pie, mixed it in cheesecake (both baked and non-bake), as well as topping for ice cream. One person said they tried a cold blended persimmon soup. The fuyu kind is better sliced in salad.

I got into jam-making this past summer, so I’ll be trying a small batch with fresh, grated ginger. If you find a good peach jam recipe, you could sub it with persimmons.

I was in an Apple Store for a Genius Bar appointment when these two guys with hoodies and COVID masks walked in and started pulling phones off the displays and stuffing them into backpacks.

It took less than a minute and then they ran off. The security guard just stood to the side and recorded a video. Once they were gone, everyone just went back to what they were doing, like nothing had happened.

Afterward, I asked the Genius Bar guy if that happened often. He said the two guys hadn’t gotten much because they hadn’t refilled the display from a guy coming in and stealing all the phones literally the day before!

The phones were tracked and the cops eventually caught the two dudes as well as the other solo guy.

I got one years ago. Used it for quite a bit. Worked great, but I stopped using it when my daily computer didn’t have a USB-A port any more.

You do have to remember what each numbered button is for.
