I finished dehydrating another batch of peppers last night and turned the kitchen into a toxic cloud of pepper dust grinding them up into powder. I was coughing and sneezing for hours... 🌶️ 🌱

I finally finished dehydrating these peppers today. I started last Saturday. Some of the thick walled baccatum crosses took forever to dry. The dark ones I smoked with apple wood before dehydrating. Next they go into the grinder tomorrow. 🌶️ 🌱

I attended an online lecture on UF plant breeding of Coleus yesterday and it got me thinking about pepper breeding and how weak and inbred most old heirloom peppers can be. They really could use a shot in the arm of new genetic material from outbreeding to become more vigorous E.g. the Datil. 🌶️ 🌱

These chinense x baccatum peppers are big, thick-walled, sweet, and crunchy with moderate heat and no floral taste. The look just like red habs on the outside.

AI is a conundrum. It's bad in many ways but also allows non-technical people to vibe code apps.
I made this with Replit in about 15 minutes. It's only semi functional, but could be completed quickly for a low cost expenditure.

Just days after Democrats posted a video advising troops they should not follow illegal orders

The @washingtonpost.com reported that Pete Hegseth ordered troops to kill everyone aboard a boat in the Caribbean

Which numerous experts opined was an illegal order

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

It looks like the US is invading/bombing Venezuela this weekend. Nobody wants this. We want the Epstein files.
