If it were me, I'd try avocado, loquat, peaches, figs, papaya, and mango. Look for more cold-tolerant varieties, because you probably still get the occasional frosty night there.
Pride of Barbados might be a good support species for your environment. They like heat, prefer very we'll-drained soil, and being legumes, should fix nitrogen.
Found this on a new computer for one of my clients. Who is this label for? How large is the population of people that are smart enough to disassemble a laptop but stupid enough to eat the battery they find inside it?

Nice job catching a picture of that whiptail. Those things never stand still long enough for me to snap a photo. Fast little guys!
OK, so it's possible that this dog escaped from a laboratory where he was genetically engineered to be perfect for slo-mo video.

Pixel 7 Pro with GrapheneOS on it. Nice hardware, it's too bad it comes with tons of Google spyware from the factory. But Graphene fixes that!
My new phone's camera has a slow-motion mode, so I've been playing with that today. My dog is basically a Muppet, so he's a great slo-mo subject.
Thinking about making a TV show called "The Six Million Dollar Dog".
(That's about 85 bitcoins today...)

You're going to have a heck of a show if all the rest of them open at the same time... Beautiful!
It's one of those kinds of #Caturdays...
Lots of mentally ill people everywhere, and their numbers are growing by the day. Modern society ain't good for much, but it's incredibly efficient at manufacturing psychos and nut jobs.

To establish dominance over a rooster, you must defeat him intellectually. Engage him in a debate about free will vs. determinism, or the ethics of cloning. Or challenge him to an essay contest.
I'm not sure how practical it is, but Bluesky is definitely a joke.
My wife just finished her last round of chemotherapy for breast cancer this week. We've been going to the same treatment center just about every week since December. The number of people going through that place is astonishing. Hundreds of patients a week; it's always busy. You kind of expect to see the older folks there, but every time we've been there, there have been at least a few under-30s getting treatment, which is always kind of startling to see. Way more women than men getting treatment, too. I was expecting a roughly 50/50 mix, but it seemed more like 65/35 if I were to make a guesstimate.
But the worst sign is, when we started going, there were 32 treatment chairs. A couple of weeks ago, they added 8 more, which is really more than can comfortably fit in the space. That's a 20% increase in capacity, which they wouldn't invest in if they weren't expecting to need it. And it's going to make the nurses' jobs harder, and increase the likelihood of someone making a dangerous mistake. Not good at all.
At our house in town, I built a bunch of nice raised garden beds along the sidewalk, where we grow vegetables and flowers. The whole front yard is pretty much flowers and gardens, very little grass. It's a busy street, and we get lots of complementary comments from people in the neighborhood. One year we had a huge trombocino squash hanging on the trellis and people were stopping to photograph their babies next to it...
A while back we started finding little gifts left in the raised beds with no explanation. A ceramic bird hung up on the trellis, a Christmas ornament in December, etc.
The most curious thing so far has been these little rattles/chimes/whatever they are. We have no idea what they're for, or who left them. They have something inside that makes a soft little ringing sound when you shake them.
Does anyone know what these are, or what the characters on them represent?

Picked peaches in the orchard yesterday. Probably should have done it last week, some were overripe and serving as a buffet for the local insect population. I was surrounded by butterflies the whole time. Wonderful experience.
