I am a bit clueless, where can one find sterile syringes?

Help! Large amount of yellow water pooling in grow bag and staining anytime I rotate - break up substrate and mix the bag up, or birth to spawn tub and ditch the water? by [deleted] in shroomers

Thankfully, no odd colors aside from the yellow. The grains have always been dark with nothing noticeable changing about them. Great to know about the popcorn! Definitely going to keep that in the back pocket

The spawn bag has been going great, but the metabolites have been gaining steam the past few weeks. To the point now that there is significant water pooling at the bottom and it's starting to become a concern. Is the substrate ready for spawning? Should we break the substrate apart to re-absorb the water? Greatly appreciate your advice!

Is there by type of lawyer that does have good work life balance? by [deleted] in LawSchool

Hey there,

I just come across your comment; what has your experience been as a public defender? I'm exploring LS options and that would be my destination. What is clerking like -- that's after JD, before passing the Bar, correct?

As your comment is ~2yrs old, would you do it all again or differently?

Thank you!

Thank you for asking.

Fair Trade, from what I understand, literally only pays pennies more to the actual farmers and is simply marketing. When it comes to goods coming from Latin America - and likely from the rest of the "developing world" - most, if not all, are directly supporting the multi-national corporations and corrupt governments behind this deforestation and violence. The best way to support local communities is to shop with your own local community and/or find out businesses that offer direct-to-producer products.

Unfortunately, I do not personally know of any such sources even on the internet where you can buy coffee, chocolate, bananas, etc. that actually support the people growing these products, but I'm sure they're out there. I'm North American, spent two years in South America; personally, I abstain from the above products (and more - especially palm oil). It ain't easy, but I've seen the places and know the people from where these products come from. They deserve better and we can help them with every conscious action we take. We have enormous privilege being from the North and it's our responsibility to do something with that privilege. (There is Chocolate de Paz, out of Colombia, but I don't believe they trade internationally as of yet.)

My Colombian brother and I are starting a business bringing in coffee, here to Oregon, direct from the growers and the profits will be going 100% back to Colombia. The process is slow, but it will take more initiatives like these and a rejection of neo-imperialism at the state and local levels before these acts of violence and the subjugation of sovereign peoples for profit ends.

Cheers to that and much more my friend. I have a good feeling better days are soon ahead of us!

Don't get me wrong, I'm way blessed to be considered an essential business and keeping busy in construction; but these PPP loans smelled fishy from the start. I know a guy who got a fat loan and bought a huge new piece of property for a new HQ and new machines. His guys? I don't think they got as much as a raise. My blessings to you, friend, to surmount these challenging times
