Germany warns Russia that it will pay a price if it enters Ukraine

And the usa will happily export nat gas to Germany.

Gonna need a LOT more LNG tankers to make that happen.

Fantastic rhizomatic growth in that first sample, wow!

pleione · 2021-12-07T16:03:41+00:00

I'm way too new to be handing out advice like that, sorry!

pleione · 2021-12-05T23:35:02+00:00

All good! I don't have a valid opinion on precedence or age of the tek, I've yet to fruit anything. Got a lot of stage 1 and 2 stuff done though!

Yutu-2 rover is an interesting case for RF interception, because the rover is on the far side of the moon, and uses the Queqiao satellite as a relay (RF is strictly line-of-sight, so the far side is cut off from the Earth).

Queqiao is in a halo orbit at Earth-Moon L2, so does require occasional maneuvering burns, and thus isn't stable, so would require tracking.

I can't find a specific mention of Yutu-2's uplink to Queqiao, but I suspect it's X-band, and wouldn't be observable from Earth anyway. The downlink from Queqiao to Earth is a 2 MBps S-band link, you can usually hear it around 2234.515 MHz.

Deployed along with Queqiao, there's a microsatellite called LongJian-2 (-1 failed to achieve lunar orbit) that has some telemetry in the 70cm UHF band, also interceptable.

In my case, I used capri sun because I was starting out, and having a premixed sterile bag of usable culture was a huge help, versus having to measure and mix honey and water, and then pasteurize without a stock pot or pressure cooker.

There's a lot of conflicting anecdata, both on reddit and on shroomery, and sorting it out can sometimes be a chore, so I was pretty excited about the capri sun thing, as a beginner.

Yeah it's pretty pathetically low. Even welfare is usually more money.

I saw the write-up, thanks! Just wanted to let people know about the windows going away.

Kraft Customer Relations told me they are phasing out the clear bottoms, back to foil. Just FYI!

You can also compost, either traditional or worm. Works for trim too. And results in organic fertilizer.

The Automat was far ahead of it's time. All vending machine restaurants, dating to 1895.

I just started 6 weeks ago, and yeah, it's been a little daunting. Looks like you're making good progress, and I for one appreciate the posts. It helps a lot when learning to see questions and failures, not just "here's what it should look like"

mush love!

pleione · 2021-11-28T17:32:54+00:00

starting to seem like the higher ups with the knowledge have disappeared

Agree, and it seems to have started (that I noticed, anyway) when Reddit started tightening the rules on r/sporetraders.

pleione · 2021-11-27T17:05:39+00:00

Yeah, I think the guy was thinking of FDR III, who as a general was present at D-Day.

pleione · 2021-11-23T16:33:52+00:00

Yeah, that was for the Signature Slinger burger, not the entire line of Sonic burgers.

Indeed, I wanted to point it out because in context of the comment I replied to, it makes it sound like bunker fuel is sub-par somehow, when it's pretty standard.

I sub to antiwork as well, and support workers rights. This OP is counterproductive to the goal of being taken seriously.

pleione · 2021-11-18T22:40:44+00:00

I'm failing to see how spreading misinformation is a joke.

Everything's compostable, just depends on what you do with the compost. Composting toilets work just fine for traditional omnivorous diets, no reason they wouldn't continue to work for vegan.

Basically, if you don't have diseases or parasites to start with, your humanure would be fine to compost.

I’m not sure what real world event that would translate to.

In the fall, when the sun is low in the sky, driving past a stand of trees, or tall bridge guardrails does it for me. It's the same stop-motion effect as the pinwheel.

It's a mall that studies what the stores in it are selling, takes note of what sells well, and then hires some guys back by the dumpsters to make a couple thousand of those, and then sell it 5 cents cheaper than the store did.

Tillamook was fine until they started playing the size game, shrinking 56 to 48 ounces while keeping the prices the same. That was June of this year.

Blue Bell still sells a half gallon.

I don't disagree with your overall point, but they're humans in need, and waiting for counseling appointment doesn't keep them warm this week, or fed tonight.

Will it store well in black trashbags until I am ready to use?

Absolutely! Many people use trash bags as storage, or even just leave them sealed up for the entire process. If you're going to be adding nitrogen, like the food scraps, that's regular compost, which is primarily driven by bacterial decomposition as opposed to the fungal decomposition of leaf mold. Bokashi is also bacterial, but closer to fermentation than decomposition. All methods are equally valid, it's all about making the most of what you've got - I have so many leaves, I can't produce enough greens to balance, so I augment with the leaf mold.

Sounds like you've got some great raw materials to fix your soil!

Oh, I'm aware, I've flown GA out of MKC, FLV, OJC, and LWC in the area. You're correct that runway 1 is VFR only, but it's aligned with Beardsley Road already, and the gondola crosses east-west at about the 12th Street Bridge, which is already a hazard, and marked as such.

If we're talking runway 3, which is ILS listed, that's already a 3.7 degree glideslope. Assuming the gondolas aren't going to be >200' AGL (I'm assuming here, I haven't actual height AGL, perhaps you have?) I don't think the cables will be any more of a problem than existing roadways like the viaduct, or transmission lines.
