“We need more hero’s” Ross Ulbricht

What’s up with this?

Ross’ prison has also suspended visitors privileges.

“He said he is also commuting the sentences of six people who he said “we’ll take a look at.” He said these individuals may eventually be pardoned or their sentences might just be commuted.”

I could see myself working with a man like this, with pride.

I was follower 12 and I watched his username change. It seemed fishy but probably part of the setup process of the account.

I stand corrected* I just watched his video promoting nostr.

Serious doubts Ian Carroll’s account is Ian C.

Ads on Primal are not a thing? 🤫

Watching Bitcoin is amazing. All of it, not just the price action.

The flower buds seem to have very low level is cardiac glycosides. I’ve used them in tea. Most noticeable was what appeared to be sugar grains that appeared at the bottom of the glass. Tasted like pure sucrose (sugar)!

I generally avoid eating any milkweed due to the potential for the plant’s sap to hijack the pace of the heartbeat.

Foragers have a history of pointing to Asclepias syriaca as a wild food source. Preparation of the pod is very important. As I understand it the immature pods are collected when aprox1-1.5” and are boiled or steamed. Then blanched with cool water. Then boiled or steamed a second time. Then often braised in butter or prepared in other culinary ways, similar to broccoli.

That process *should* dilute the effects of the cardiac glycosides in the sap. I say *should* because I have no personal experience in the process.

Milkweeds like Asclepias subverticillata and Asclepias labriformis have been named as species with the highest concentrations of cardiac glycosides and great care should be taken with those plants.

There is some folks saying Asclepias speciosa can be treated like Asclepias syriaca and I don’t know if I trust them. I certainly don’t want to become ill by experimenting. That said, I have licked the sap from my fingers to prevent accidental exposure to my eyes (no sink nearby). A slight increase in the heart rate did occur.

Rhizomes form on a few kinds of milkweed. Mainly Common milkweed [pictured] and Showy milkweed.

From germination thru the first fall freeze the plant will turn photosynthesis into root mass.

Growth nodes along the roots allow the plant to grow new stems, as necessary.

Lots of food crops in the fields near Moss Landing. This is a terrible event. https://apnews.com/article/battery-storage-plant-fire-california-moss-landing-7c561fed096f410ddecfb04722a8b1f8?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2JPWGbMqH7WN66KcEux4MP5RZb7NKXwJEcI2iLZw5RoZR0om8Q9Oh-X_4_aem_Z4z1cx0vfS2PRwo3KVn8qw#ogaod67bui5st1xbu8kgocsexl28gkd

I suspect roots are missing from today’s trees.

I used to see tree roots on all the trees as a kid.
