Build is the wrong word, I meant install or something like it. I'm still hoping to find the time to install a full node and all that jazz on an Apollo some day.

Have you managed to build a decent OS for the Apollo or are you using the stock OS that cannot be updated?

What is up with this block? It's half empty and has a few 'Conflicting' transactions.

However, I cannot figure out whom you were replying to and what the post was is you thought is nice. Fumbling around trying to work out how Nostr works.

I'm allergic to Twitter!

And I'm not so certain about Nostr yet!

I bought a bunch of LC (liquid culture) syringes and inoculated 4% honey water with them.

Seems to work perfectly almost every time, for more than 20 species. Not that I managed to get many to actually fruit (yet), but the LCs are alive and kicking.

I also inoculated an agar plate from a spore print and than ran it through another few agar plates, although I could not see contamination, and then sucked a bit of the agar plate mycelium into a syringe and injected it into a liquid culture jar. Perfect result first time (I built a laminar flow box of sorts for the agar plate part). Multiplying the LC into more LC jars is super easy and reliable, but you definitely need a starting culture that has no other organisms in it.

I also managed to take a tissue sample through the grow bag of a lions mane fruiting substrate kit and injected it into LC, that mother LC has been multiplied into several other LC jars and been used to inoculate fruiting substrate with good results.

Once you have a clean liquid culture, you can successfully multiply the mycelium without a laminar flow hood or still air box.

The name of the mushroom species would most certainly be helpful. Otherwise it's a bit like saying 'I tried to keep a vertebrate as a pet one day but it did not go well'...

However, for most commonly grown mushrooms, learn how to make a liquid culture and then over-inoculate with that.

Liquid culture is the missing link between 'esoteric science' and 'anyone can do it' when it comes to mycology.

Part of me is telling me to get out the brush cutter and finish cleaning up the yard. But a significant other part of me is telling me to be lazy and stay on the computer.... and these thoughts went through my head:

Being fat is an evolutionary adaptation to food scarcity. So is being lazy. By being lazy you conserve energy. Don't feel like your fat lazy body reflects some kind of moral failing. You were born fat and lazy for a good reason which just doesn't happen to make sense anymore in the modern food-rich world. If your ancestors weren't fat and lazy, you likely wouldn't even exist!

Samoans and Hawai'ians can be quite fat. Being fat was a huge (pun intended) advantage for sea-faring people. If the ship runs out of food, the fat people are the likely survivors. If you get separated from your boat and float for days, fat people float better, are better insulated against hypothermia, and can last longer having more energy. Ocean travel doesn't require much running or load bearing activities. I can imagine a long history of accidents, storms, and ya know all the shit that life throws at you, and in many of these cases the fatter Samoans and Hawai'ians lived to tell the tale, and more to the point lived to have kids.

Fat shaming doesn't work. We fatter people are piss poor at fighting against these genetics. I have a lifetime of trying and first hand knowledge. It isn't just about food choice (I only buy healthy food) or mindless eating, although bad choices can certainly make it worse. It is a drive that irritates your brain until you satisfy it, and significant weight loss makes programming a computer (for example) impossible to focus on against those constant amygdala wake-ups.

Great idea - but only if you don't mind waiting 2 minutes for the air to get warm.....
