And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
You guys beat me to it. There is something wrong with that picture unless they are going to process all those bananas right there. Believe it or not, the need to get bananas to consumers at the right time is one of the things that led to the development of demand sensitive lead time driven inventory systems. Anybody who works with SAP or similar systems is going to look at that and go "uh oh!, problem".
my brother unloads fruit cargo. one of the guys found a spider and was chasing everybody with it....until DHS showed up and took it from him....highly venom paralyzing
Quick question: With apple crops, they stash them in a warehouse like this and then seal it up, hook up a giant propane burner, and burn off all the oxygen to leave just CO2 inside - they call this C-Ox, or used to, 'controlled oxygen' storage. The apples will keep for months like this, so that they can be sold year 'round.
Now: Apples are one of the few fruit that have to be picked ripe. Is this a similar case for bananas? Do they use C-Ox for them too? Just putting it out there in case anyone knows......
Gorillas are African animals. Bananas originated in SE Asian and are mostly grown in Central/South America. They have never been a normal part of the diet for Gorillas, Chimps and other large primates except for Orangutans. It's only been in the last century or so that humans introduced this item to African primates.
A warehouse full of yellow bananas seems like a financial disaster
ReplyDeleteYeah, perhaps it’s a processing plant of some sort, those wouldn’t even make the boat trip…
ReplyDeleteThose bananas are only good for banana bread.

ReplyDeleteFake or those aren't bananas. They're are as big as his arm and appear to all be loose. Maybe some other crop?
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Good eye.

ReplyDeleteWhy does Harry Belafonte come to mind?
ReplyDeleteYou could use a couple of 'em to stuff into a tailpipe...
ReplyDeleteUsing my best Eddie Murphy “You put a banana in their tailpipe…”
DeletePlantains maybe, not bananas.

Bananas are shipped green, At the distributor for the final leg to the store, they are dosed with ethylene gas to trigger the ripening process.

ReplyDeleteThat picture is about as real as the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
