July is prime fruit harvesting time across the lower 48 US States.

Off the top of my head: In July we harvest corn, beans, squash, zucchini, cucumber, avocados, tomatoes, peaches, plums, blueberries, cherries and rhubarb.

100% sure I am missing dozens more, but that's the limit of what my family's farm has grown over the decades.

edit: Typo and misspelling.

People don't realize how much doctors leverage opening old books, reading subscription articles and looking at case files to help their patients out.

Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it's AI.

Source: I am in IT and my wife's two siblings are a general practitioner doctor and an otolaryngologist (Ear Nose Throat Specialist). There's not much difference between being a systems administrator and a doctor in many ways.

American barn owls (aka Tyto furcata) can eat baby bunnies, which does help control populations:

From the paywall link:

Lisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura County, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

Tate knows the farms around her well. And she says she can see with her own eyes how raids carried out by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the area’s fields earlier this month, part of President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown, have frightened off workers.

“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,” she said in an interview. “If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.”

Looking forward to another super effective "Strongly worded letter" from the Democrats.

"This month, the city issued a request for proposals to transform three downtown city-owned parking lots into at least 345 units of affordable housing near public transit and local businesses."

The counter argument and lawsuit claims that the Mayor and thus the City are removing much needed parking spaces that would force anyone in the area to either sell their vehicles or pay exorbitant fees for paid parking:

“Hoping to squeeze large apartment buildings into narrow, heavily used downtown parking lots … is not a path to success,” Save Downtown Menlo organizer Alex Beltramo told me in an email.

Menlo Park doesn't have hardly any parking to begin with and there's no such thing as 'affordable ' in the entire SF bay area.

Only if you get close enough that one can charge you. Otherwise it's a good time to see them all put in the open and mashing antlers.

Tarsier Studios didn't make it and Super Massive Games, which did, has no experience with the series.

Little Nightmares 3 will bomb.

Instead of farming shit produce in the desert, can we do this in the Borrego and Mohave Deserts next?
