https://pyrefly.org/blog/too-many-type-checkers/ makes the reasonable case that you should type check your tests with as many type checkers as possible while sticking to one for your actual code. That way you minimize those "<type checker> didn't like your API" issues.
Are you really expected to run five type-checkers now? | Pyrefly

Library maintainers may feel overwhelmed by the plurality of type checkers that exist. We offer some guidance on how to focus their efforts where they matter most.

I'm so relieved that it's only going to be normally hot (34 °C) in Moab next week, and not killer hot (40+).

@sgillies Snap peas were developed from snow peas, and I have heard that a lot of the heirloom/cheap snap pea stock has reverted. It's not the seed companies accidentally mixing two varieties, it's a problem with consistency in the existing seed.

Johnny's actually withdrew their snap peas from ordering for a few years until they worked with a breeder to develop a new line that was more consistent. Can confirm it is very high quality seed and it's all snap pea, no snow.
