Right now if I buy a new single silver coin it will cost me £30.12 but I am getting only £18.01 worth of silver. I like silver but its fees and other associated costs are horrendous compared to Bitcoin while the latter has completely failed to keep up with inflation.
Completely understand losing marks due to spelling was the reason I remember the default is American English 🤣. Especially important after a XP nuclear reset which seemed fairly common compared to todays operating systems.
He spells colour correctly though 😉. The default is always American English so the fact he has changed it at all would imply he is not American or it's more than one person.
The first time he says organize is between two times he says colour and the second time says colour is a month later. Seems like it could be more than one person or hes switching computers set up for different types of English.
Plants absorb bacteria and fungi through their roots, consuming some and redespositing others elsewhere in the soil continuing this growth cycle. This is process called rhizophagy. So you are going to finding all these endophytes (things that live at the end of the root hairs) in their plant sap.
You would need to check the sap with a microscope to confirm what's actually there though.
Rhizobia is the most famous one because it's been know the longest. But baker/ale/wine yeast is another endophyte that partners with loads of plants so it probably have that in this sap.
I take them off as soon as they have popped because I want the next ones to go on.
I hope you tell them all about the gaming tokens you made posting their comments on nostr 😆
Being on a different continent has it's drawbacks! I don't think anything I suggest with regards to that will do you much good. It's an area that you will be seeing more of very soon and that's what I will be doing here in England in the coming years.
What I will do if you don't mind is to throw the idea out to people on my course. There are lots of people from all over the U.S doing it and hopefully someone will be near to you and might have some ideas or we could atleast watch a video of it under the microscope.
Using a homemade reverse osmosis system to concentrate maple sap
https://v.nostr.build/K362.mp4
When I started making maple syrup, I only tapped a few trees and boiled off the water with propane. It was clear that continuing to use propane wouldn't scale but at the same time I didn't want to spend the time building a wood fired boiler or the money buying one. I had just started heating the house with wood via a rocket mass heater, so if I was going to prepare firewood it would be more valuable heating the house instead of boiling maple sap.
Ultimately, I found some plans to build an affordable reverse osmosis system which would concentrate the sap by removing most of the water before starting to boil.
I used it successfully for a couple years but I got greedy and left it out over night. It ended up freezing and was destroyed by the ice. I was reaching the limit of what I could process with it which was why I tried to run it overnight in order to keep up. This mistake, forced me to upgrade to the current system which should allow me to continue to scale the maple sugar making system here at the homestead.
Some things I want to clarify from the video, the filter can concentrate the sap from around 2 brix to about 6 brix and the pump uses ~45w of power. The actual energy cost to concentrate the sap will depend on the starting sugar content and temperature. So when I say 65 cents that is a very general figure. The biggest takeaway is that the filter if maintained properly will concentrate sap using much less energy than boiling. However, if the filter gets fouled (or frozen...) much of the cost savings are erased.

If you get the Brix high enough that it doesn't ferment you don't have maple syrup you have a locally adapted biological innoculant for maple trees. That's so expensive to buy because I just made the idea up and I am not as young as I used to be so it taken literally decades to come to that thought. 💸🫠💸
Now I am not a sugar maple expert but I would assume the basic biology is the same across all Acer's though- I think the north american ones evolved without worms so it might need to be tested/researched a bit. However if you found it helped on Japanese maples you have a whole bunch of Bonsai enthusiasts and landscape gardeners to sell to. Japanese maple prices are frankly insane.
Seems like corruption as usual.

One of the few things worth selling #Bitcoin for. It's the one of the oldest cow breeds on Earth. Some herds can be traced back to the middle ages. Further back they were mentioned in Celtic epics and documented by the Romans when they came to Britain. Eventually these free roaming animals were confined to survival in large deer parks as space for them to roam shrunk over time.
Hope to see some grazing round here one day like they did in antiquity and further away from being rare breed again. Apparently an excellent beef breed too!

I prefer exacerbating hogwash. Why not both they both represent different issues with it. Corporate legacy media doesn't seem too long winded.
😂yeah they either look suave and sophisticated or they are completely nuts. A bit like English people in general really.
Another Percival attacked a elderly customer so much they took her to the hospital for wound dressing so a neighbour came round to introduce him to Mr Shotgun.
That's great hope you find an agaricon so you can send it to Paul Stamets!
Tell em they get a discount if they pay in Bitcoin next time they stay 😉.
Yeah oak associates with ecto and poplar is an oddball that does both endo and ecto fungi so this is all making sense. I will have to see if I can find near an old oak near me.
Well like a lot of psychopaths it was quite charming and friendly to begin with. Hanging out watching me applying some biochar to the soil, then it started following me round the garden. Then running after me squawking like a bit of a nutter. After that he is lungeing for my ankles so I use the bucket as a barrier. I eventually side step his next lunge and hit him for 6 with a satisfying *thunk* into the hedge...with associated squawky pissed off pheasant sounds.
At another customers house years ago one jumped out of the hedge just as I was leaving squawking like a Karen. It starts tearing towards me so I jump in the car and drive off, looking in the rear view mirror he's still there chasing me up the drive. It wasn't until I got to the main road that I got rid of him.
I must look like the local gamekeeper or something I dunno 🤷.
That's the bucket bashing bastard:
Great photo Nick, don't see that one round here so much, but being an ecto fungi it's going to be associating with trees generally associated with the highlands predominantly pines and other conifers etc
You enjoy the aurora borealis with that bottle you been keeping back for a special occasion.
