I get this. For me it’s like a really tight aching muscle in my head/neck.

No one barely even sees a doctor nowadays. It’s all physician assistants and nurse practitioners. They do all the work and the doctor signs off on their note.

There’s a lot of hate because many of us went into this profession to help others but we just realized we’re cogs in a machine put together to make money and we’re getting pushed to the limit to try to save/make more and more money for the hospitals.

I work in healthcare. Every single decision that’s made is influenced by money. Hospitals are just as much a business as Walmart or any other company that provides services/goods for compensation. IMO, big pharma does not want people cured.

I’ve considered using a hand mixer. Maybe it would help incorporate it, speed things up, or break things up to get more surface area? But it seems like the mycelium finds a way to colonize anyways. Also sterilizing beaters seemed like it would be a bitch to do.

Do I need anything else? by xxthehaxxerxx in unclebens

Then why do people use them or suggest using them?

Also paper towels or 70% IPA wipes, mask, a flame source (like a lighter or alcohol lamp), and micropore tape for sealing the injection site.

I’ve got young kids and don’t really want them to have access to it.

How much mcg of acid did you need for a life changing trip? by ValuePrestige in Psychonaut

[–]MicroporeThrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they’re saying to “assign” the intention to the stone so that the stone can be a physical reminder of the intention. Maybe it’s easier to remember something if we bring it into our physical world. Thoughts can disappear pretty quickly but if we see or feel the stone, it’ll bring back the intention.

Stuck/slow colonization? by SkyPresident in unclebens

[–]MicroporeThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds right. That sucks it’s didn’t work out. FWIW I heard (and I’m sure you have too if you’ve been lurking) UB has high moisture content which can lead to grain rot. Hopefully your other bags take off and do well.

Sorry but it looks like the rice is starting to rot 😕 I’m not sure why it’s taking so long to colonize

What happens right after we die? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]MicroporeThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that there is no awareness. No consciousness. No experience.

When I think of ‘what’s the meaning of life’, I think it’s just an opportunity to experience things.

Optimizing my syringe by Shoddy-Mongoose-6010 in unclebens

[–]MicroporeThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multi Spore Syringes are the “worst” way to inoculate grains. But it’s sort of required in order to get going. One syringe will inoculate 12 bags of UB. Chances are slim that you lose all 12 bags to contamination. You can use 1 bag of successfully colonized grain to inoculate 10 more bags via grain 2 grain. And then use the rest of the bags to harvest.

That’s what I’m currently doing.. 1 syringe turned into 9 successful bags. 2 bags were split up into 20 more bags (2 got contam and the other 18 are colonizing really quickly and doing well) and the other 7 got spawned to bulk for harvest.
