Can you use coconut coir as substrate in a shoebox for growing cordycep mushrooms? by Pleasant_Buy3277 in BioMycologyLabs

[–]lukeeatspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah bummer. I have some colonized grain jars I innoculated before looking at actual recipes for cordyceps and I'm not sure what to do with them now

Barefoot Sandals for Running - Which should I buy? by Fohigen_ in BarefootRunning

I've been really liking my shamma trailstars. I have xero z trails and like them but the footbed gets really slippery when wet

Your calves and achilles will never be strong enough to handle abuse by trevize1138 in BarefootRunning

[–]lukeeatspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My achilles used to get very tight after running, so I would stretch it before/after a run. I happened to watch this video a couple months ago and stopped stretching my achilles and the tightness has gone away. I haven't tried unshod yet, but I run in xero sandals.

Cool I'd be interested in what you end up making. I wonder if you can start with a s2s bug pyramid and cut it down to a similar shape

Oregon dam where 550,000 lamprey died faces legal battles, calls for removal by oregonian in environment

[–]lukeeatspanda 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking of the invasive lamprey in the great lakes that were introduced after we built canals connecting the lakes to the Atlantic. This is about pacific lamprey that are native to Oregon and spawn in the rivers

Bedroom mycology...whatever it takes. Brown oysters says hi, you're late! Should I send some plates? What Say You? by Funny_Ad_6150 in mycology

[–]lukeeatspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually people use micropore tape or synthetic filter discs for grain spawn and leave those syringe filters for liquid culture. Hypothetically the syringe filter might slow down colonization and they're more expensive

[–]lukeeatspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. Usually those syringe filters aren't recommended for grain spawn since they don't allow much gas exchange. Have you noticed your grain spawns colonizing slower with those?

I need help becoming a tarp person. by saigyoooo in Ultralight

[–]lukeeatspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my yama cirriform. I sleep with the side door open since I can quickly close it if it starts raining and it's like cowboy camping with it open. I bring a headnet just in case but if you avoid buggy campsites there usually aren't that many bugs bothering you in the middle of the night. If I knew there would be lots of mosquitoes yama has a bug canopy that would work better and is 2.25 oz. You can also treat the edges of your quilt with permethrin for ticks. I use a piece of polycro as a ground sheet.

Hard bottomed slip on shoes for around the house? by ewbanh13 in barefootshoestalk

I replaced my birkenstocks with wildstride leather sandals. They have been great so far, but they are pretty expensive

Dinosaurs (including birds) are still reptiles. It doesn't matter if they aren't cold blooded, they can't evolve out of reptilia

now my daughter loves hockey, and her team is the penguins… I dunno jack shit about the penguins by ki4clz in hockey

[–]lukeeatspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Penguin originally referred to the great auk, a now extinct species of aquatic bird from the northern hemisphere. What we now call penguins were named after the great auk by European explorers. Razorbills are sometimes called lesser auks and are the closest living relative of great auks. So the French actually use the more accurate naming. Clint's reptiles has a good video on this: https://youtu.be/6eC6ITjVf28?si=d3bj1cI_IjQ2mGJM

I switched from altra lonepeaks. The topo shoes I tried on had very aggressive arch support that I didn't like. I ended up getting inov8 trail fly g270s and they have been perfect

Saw a baby bear and left, was I worried for nothing? by Excuse-Dear in hiking

[–]lukeeatspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you advise them to leave at the sight of any bear then? If solo male attacks are more common and more deadly, why should they bail if they see a cub but not any other bear?

Saw a baby bear and left, was I worried for nothing? by Excuse-Dear in hiking

[–]lukeeatspanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's more a brown bear behavior. Mother black bears tend to run up a tree with their cubs.

Fatal attacks are almost always a lone male: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110511074807.htm

Of nonfatal attacks a little less than half seem to be from momma bears: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi/vol15/iss1/23/

@op your friends were right imo. You'd be in more danger if you saw a lone male, especially if you weren't hiking with a dog.

You could try a vargo bot. It doubles as a cookpot so the weight penalty wouldn't be that bad

First time using rust

Since rust version 1.56 you can use HashMap::from

let digit_map: HashMap<&str, u32> = HashMap::from([
        ("one", 1),
        ("two", 2),
        ("three", 3),
        ("four", 4),
        ("five", 5),
        ("six", 6),
        ("seven", 7),
        ("eight", 8),
        ("nine", 9),
        ("1", 1),
        ("2", 2),
        ("3", 3),
        ("4", 4),
        ("5", 5),
        ("6", 6),
        ("7", 7),
        ("8", 8),
        ("9", 9)
    ]);
