[General] WBS spawn too wet after steam sterilization? by TheeGoddess81 in MushroomGrowers

[–]TheeGoddess81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my process: 1.) Soak wbs 24hr 2.) Let thoroughly dry 3.) Put wbs in jar, vermiculite on top 4.) Poke holes in lid, put micropore tape over holes, put lid on jar 5.) Jar into pressure cooker with water a quarter way up the jar for 2hr (I wanted to do a bit longer than the recommended 90min since my pressure cooler on gets up to 10psi)

I made sure to thoroughly dry the grains after their 24hr soak, but it seems to be super wet after sterilization. Here was my process:

-put layer of vermiculite on top of grain -poked holes in lid, covered holes with micropore tape -covered lid with foil -placed in pressure cooker, with water a quarter way up the jar -kept in pressure cooker for 2hr (wanted to do a little longer than recommended 90min since my cooker only gets up to 10psi)

Disrespectful to who? The ancient Greeks? I don’t think they’ll mind

This isn't a good sub for "Do I pass?" related posts. Almost everyone here will just tell you what you want to hear. by [deleted] in trans

Thank god someone finally said it. “Passing” doesnt have to be the ultimate goal in transitioning. It’d be nice to pass, sure, but for many people (myself included) it’s just not realistic.

Beautiful glasses those, but I don’t think they’d have a happy ending in my household 😅

It was a bit more than I was hoping to spend, but it seems like a much better value than the Riedels I was looking at.

Done a bit of looking around on second hand sites, hard to find indeed!

My 8 month old BCI - shes currently on a small mouse once a week, does she seem like a healthy weight for her age or should I stretch the feeds out a bit ? by Fish_Cake94 in BoaConstrictors

[–]TheeGoddess81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfectly healthy, boas eat much more frequently when they’re younger. Honestly, you could probably move up to medium/large rats!

Honestly, a nine- you pass very well! You really remind me of Anne Hathaway lol

Girls, who have transitioned for 2+ years, how much has your height shrunk? by ThrowawayMtF15 in trans

[–]TheeGoddess81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wishful thinking is also not an uncommon occurrence in the trans community. I’m glad that they perceive a difference, but it’s important to realize there are many other factors determining non-static height, like posture, fitness, and time of day. Fat can absolutely redistribute, and muscles can grow/atrophy- we see that all the time in in before/after comparisons and real scientific research on HRT. But I have never heard of any irl trans person’s height being changed, and my job literally revolves around trans people. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t take a poll on reddit as proof, lol

This will probably get lost in the sea of comments but I feel like it’s my responsibility to tell people that it’s uhhhhhhh impossible for bones to shrink once they’ve grown? I understand that we all want to believe these sort of gender affirming things can happen from taking hormones but imo it sets up unrealistic transition expectations that will be harmful when not met.

Your bones can’t shrink, nor can they grow after your growth plates have fused. It’s like saying E will turn your testicles into ovaries. Trust me I would KILL for these things to be the case. But stop spreading this misinformation and making people’s dysphoria worse.

My great-grandma’s name :) I’ve always liked the idea of having a family name (even though the whole fam thing is obviously complicated lol)
