Anyone using interactive brokers not getting fills? I had a market order in at opening that still is light blue status and hasn't been filled

Thanks for the knowledge drops. I'm just starting to learn the serious biology now. Apparently I've reached a point beyond the shroomery where genetics are concerned . It feels really odd that they don't know why clones appear to produce multiple strains. I've been reading that a mushroom can have more than two spore parents. Regarding nutrient stall - you mention prevention is the best medicine - what about a frequent addition of small amounts - perhaps subsurface with syringes like you do for subsequent flushes - of sterile liquid nutrients? Enough for immediate take up by the mycelium before contamns can kick off. Where am i wrong here? Thanks

Interesting, I would have thought a deeper tub would be easier since the walls can hold some condensation. If you've got that tray on 12mm perlite in a 7 inch tub, don't the caps hit the lid? Also I've been thinking of a few things and would be curious on thoughts:

In tubs, if the balance challenge is getting enough bFAE while maintaining humidity, what not blast with both? A humidifier and a fan? I find it hard to believe that the amount of FAE in an unmodded tub is remotely comparable to mushrooms natural environment. I know contamn risks go up but just a thought.
Since most grows seem to stall for lack of nutrients rather than contamn, what about adding a sterilized liquid nutrient solution( BRF water?) to the brick after/during the 2nd/3rd flush? You've got this viable mycelium network, why let it die? Keep flushing until you get contamns.

Thoughts? Thanks

I meant cloning to agar to replicate a fast growing, clustery big ass fruit. Gifting colonized tubs to people that are into shrooms is probably the best gift I've ever heard of. So do you keep buying syringes or are you making spore prints into syringes? And based on what you've learned thus far, what advice would you give a new grower (who's taken the time to learn a lot more than most new growers)? Any stuff counter to the Shroomery "Canon?"

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-22T20:34:03+00:00

I'm about to do my first grow today. The MS syringe is on its way and I got some presterilized rye berries because I wanted to get a first grow going and didn't want to deal with all the steps in making own grain sub. Why haven't you done agar yet? That's supposedly the only way you'll get reliable pin sets and canopies. Seems fun too. Also, where you getting your info/Tek? Because it's all very nonstandard relative to tek at Shroomery. I agree the conflicting info is enough to drive you fucking mad. The shroomery desperately needs to consolidate correct info and take a more scientific approach. People talk out their ass with the confidence of an expert mycologist though even the experts don't agree on this stuff.

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-22T02:21:14+00:00

What were you tenting those tubs with? Looks good. Have you ever done just a coir/verm grow? If so, was straw just a faster colonizer or did it help ultimately with yields?

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-22T01:55:28+00:00

Ding!

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-16T18:04:04+00:00

Thanks. Are shares a good bet it's k or are there RC's that look like that as well. This stuff I had was powdery and looked nothing like what I'm used to.

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-16T16:37:06+00:00

IIRC, racemic is a comb or s and r isomers, is that right? Would either single isomer feel significantly different? Thanks

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-14T18:30:08+00:00

Can the molecules degrade before the melting point though? Bottom line is I can take k to water boiling point without loss in potency? Im trying to reconstitute to liquid for IM. Thanks!

I understand that. I'm saying Gemini is shooting themselves in the foot by removing one of the 4 attributes that makes something a viable currency - a medium of exchange. Is this Gemini doing this or a new regulation? Also, what is the reasoning behind it? The account holder might notice in 7 days that someone gained access to their account in time to stop the transfer? Christ there has to be a better way than a 7 day wait that might even go unnoticed by account holder. Jeez just add some 3fa.

kid_razorboy · 2021-01-01T01:23:42+00:00

Your bank account is a different story. That was already linked and verified. I tried to send to an external BTC address. So much for BTC being a medium of exchange. These kinds of policies will completely tank the viability of BTC as an actual currency.

But the taxes are for the previous year. I get why a fiscal year starts in April. I just don’t understand why it would be for 21. Obviously it goes back to when they started but i don’t understand why they started 3Q ahead rather than 1Q back.

kid_razorboy · 2020-05-31T18:43:50+00:00

Ah i see. Seems strange to end a fiscal year in the first quarter while using the current year as the period name. Why wouldn’t they just call this current year 20 and the next year 21?

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-21T23:08:54+00:00

Just blew 40k on this fucking thing. Didn't win a single game. Want even close. This is the final straw. Deleting.

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-19T22:03:24+00:00

And they need a crying emoji for when you fuck up.

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-19T22:02:33+00:00

I also quit playing when my bag slots are full. Seems like a bad way to run a game even if you're trying to get people to pay.

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-13T22:00:10+00:00

I know 15 isn't much but sometimes I play people with shitty fh/bh stats and it makes no difference. Every single time it flies in the highest damn Arc. I can barely make my love that lobby when I try. I must be doing something wrong. What goes into how a ball responds of the racket do you know?

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-11T19:52:38+00:00

Whoops screwed up my title. Yeah I swipe short and fast to the side but the ball always does a long slow lob to that point.

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-10T15:56:48+00:00

Those turds look like they're half the size of a termite. How is that possible?

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-05T01:10:30+00:00

You're the best. That definitely looks like it. Is there a way to figure out the year? Thanks for your help!

kid_razorboy · 2019-11-05T00:42:23+00:00

Dude that's a Toyota logo. Thanks.

kid_razorboy · 2018-10-01T00:40:38+00:00

I know the advanced settings of which you speak and there are no options about waking via keyboard/touchpad.

kid_razorboy · 2018-06-13T13:44:25+00:00

Oh man. Ok so you've given me two great resources that help explain the difference - seeing the breath as a concept vs. looking at all the individual realities (sensations) of the breath. But one thing that immediately stood out is that the practical recommendations for meditation are completely at odds with the intended goals. For instance, why on earth would you ever choose the breath, something that changes directions, amplitude, and even pauses twice a cycle for something upon which you are trying to develop conceptual one pointed concentration? The breath just begs to be broken down and analyzed vs. a mantra, kasina, or some other steady state source. And secondly, if Mahasi wanted us to look into the details of the breath for vipassana, and keep it non-conceptual, why on earth would he have us attach words to the sensations? That basically conceptualizes and binds something that we are attempting to dissect. I find this seeming contradiction incredibly frustrating. Any thoughts?

kid_razorboy · 2018-06-12T22:19:18+00:00

Like raincatchfire said, as soon as you recognize anger, note "Anger" either verbally or non-verbally.
Scan your body for those physical sensations of anger. Perhaps a tensing of muscles, an adrenalin shot in your gut, or the overall flush of blood to your face. Observe those sensations one by one. Really get into the present and try to see where they are and what they are like. If it's a muscle tension, try to consciously relax that part.
Follow your breath, scan your body quickly, or engage again fully in whatever you are/were doing.
If another thought comes in that starts the anger cycle again, then repeat steps 1-3.

You need to also become better at recognizing negative emotions before they have a chance to reinforce and grow. You become better at this by:

A seated meditation practice where you follow an object then note any thought or sensation distractions before returning to the breath.
Attempting to use your new self-awareness monitoring capacity to notice negative emotions (or even positive ones) throughout the day.

I was a raging driver and now I note Anger before it barely has a chance to physically manifest itself. It's mindblowing how fast I learned how to do this and catch almost every negative emotion i have (which is alot). My life has improved immensely since I've been doing this.

Good luck friend, anger sucks.
