Hopefully that's enough cayenne peppers for this season.

Unfortunately I don't remember. These are from seeds I reserved from last year's plants, and I didn't keep up with what was what. So all I know is they're about 3/8" in diameter and 8" or so long. Pretty prolific producers.
I think I had 6 or maybe 8 plants producing last year, so even if I lose half of these, I'm still way ahead of where I was last season.

I've still got a garage full of parts for my square body S10 that got squished by a 40,000lb oak tree. I'm trying to save up to buy another one now if other stuff would stop demanding money of me.
I honestly don't think it's corporate greed. GM would build and sell so many base S10s that they'd make their money. But they're getting spit roasted by government regulations on one side and outrageous legacy UAW costs on the other. Even the general shape of the car is mandated by government regulations on making it more survivable for pedestrians who get hit when they go wandering around in the street. Americans yearn for simple and inexpensive options, but it's the government preventing their import and manufacture here. So people buy side-by-sides and golf carts instead and then lobby their local governments to make them de facto street legal.
Meanwhile the Japanese manufacturers don't have to pay those labor costs and the Japanese government has traditionally paid for a lot of their R&D. Plus they built their industry on outright stolen tech--Toyota's reputation for reliable engines came from stealing designs from US and English manufacturers. Their first straight 6 was reverse engineered from the Chevy stove bolt six. The 4AGE is a reverse engineered Ford Cosworth BDA.

I don't really mind a very long-lived design as long as it's a good design. My dad has a '98 S10, and it's a good truck that is still chugging right along with over 300,000 miles on it, but there's not much about it that I consider an improvement over my old square body. And the few things that are improvements are direct bolt-on upgrades to the old trucks because they have the same basic chassis. Mine had 2nd Gen Blazer 4 wheel disc brakes and ZQ8 suspension, for example. I could out-handle a lot of sports cars.
I had AC that kept me cool in Florida, I got 28 mpg, I could haul pretty much anything I actually wanted to haul, I had a decent stereo, and it was fun to drive. It started easy and was reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to get in it with just fluid and tire pressure checks and drive across the country. I had all that without a CAN bus or 58x ignition system.
What has the Colorado, which replaced the S10, improved on? Higher payload capacity? I didn't need it, and if I did, I'd get a full size. If GM was still building the 80's-style S10 today, I'd still be interested in buying one.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting curmudgeonly in my old age.

What makes it penultimate?

That would have cost a fortune. The B2 is already out of production and they've moved all those resources to the B21.

I'm still tickled that they accidentally sold all the spare windshields and had to buy them back from the guy who used them to build a treehouse for his daughter. I hope she got a bitchin treehouse as a replacement.

Don't drink a cheap blend and use it to judge all the others. Try a Speyside single malt.
Balvenie
Glenfiddich
Glenlivet
Macallan
Glenmorangie
It would be hard to not find one to love among those. My favorite is Glenfiddich 18 And my second favorite is Macallan 12. I've never tried Macallan 18 because I'm afraid I'd like it too much. But I always tell someone who wants to try Scotch to start with a Speyside single malt because they're the smoothest.
Then there's Lagavulin and Laphroaig when your palate is ready for the complexity. They're really good, but the first time I had Laphroaig, I thought I was drinking bandaids.

The only truly successful brown women are those who are capable of looking like dark skinned White women.
Every attempt to push orangutan-looking mutted up American nigger women as "pretty" or "beautiful" triggers a natural gag response in most humans that must be suppressed for the sake of manners. We know it, they know it, they know we know it, etc. etc.

I've been reading a lot about lynching recently. What's funny is that lynching is considered a Southern thing, but most lynchings in the US were in what is now the midwest until after the civil war. There were almost no lynchings in the South until after the war.
Following the war, the carpetbaggers (jews) were rigging elections and installing niggers in government in the South. The reconstruction period had thuggish federal troops patrolling the South and constantly reminding Southerners that they had a boot on their neck, and there was essentially no effective law enforcement or justice system--it was just the whim of criminal gangs, which were made up of feds, jews, niggers, and people who were just pieces of shit and knew they could get away with harming decent folks. Many of them hid behind the "legitimacy" of the federal government or local governments controlled by the feds.
There was a revolving door at the jail. Somebody would get shot, the shooter would be arrested, sign himself out of jail, disappear into a different county for a while, then come back and do it again. They weren't even having trials because the defendants didn't show up.
One of the funniest things I've read was that one anti-lynching crusader figured out that up to 1/3 of "lynching victims" were innocent of the crime for which they were lynched. And although the media these days portrays lynching as a crime by White people against niggers, it looks to me like lynching was about half and half split between niggers and White criminals.
In fact, it also appears that most "lynching victims" were well-known to be part of the "revolving door" justice system, and the lynchings didn't happen until they were well known terrorizers of the countryside, with the justice system refusing to do its job to stop them.
The "lynch mobs" were often not really mobs at all, but carefully orchestrated reprisals to stop injustices that the government was unwilling or unable to prevent, using numbers to ensure success.

I feel terrible that this is happening to you. It must be very scary. I don't see how you have any good options here. The damage that is being done to the trans community by this administration is permanent and irrevocable, and your life is going to be nothing but pain and misery from here on. It's just...hopeless. I'm sorry.

I am skeptical.
One time I was using an off-brand laptop charger and suddenly I was like, "Why does my room smell like roasting peanuts" and then looked down at the floor and the thing was on fire.
I carried the smoking mess outside like I had Slimer in a ghost trap and then went and bought some roasted peanuts. You know, because it made me crave peanuts.
Anyway chinese are liars

You could get an old HP lab power supply. I bet they're quiet. And surprisingly cheap.
