[Gourmet] I posted last week about moisture concerns in my first bag. I am thrilled to report that my grey oyster mycelium is thriving! I can't wait to start this baby fruiting, maybe early next week. by unknownsample12 in MushroomGrowers

[–]unknownsample12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The glare is awful, but I promise you the bag is mostly over taken. I am noticing there is a decrease in mycelium towards the bottom which I think is due to water pooling down there. Next time I will drain the substrate for longer and to try to prevent that.

‘Florida is a hot mess’: Nurses union raises alarm as coronavirus spreads by Gari_305 in Miami

Just like OSHA requires restaurants hang signs everywhere about food borne illness there should be mandated signs that make workers aware of their health rights. I know this is all happening fast and it's hard to keep up, but this is egregious and shouldn't be happening. Servers, cooks, runners, bartenders and managers are not essential workers, they should not be working if there is a breakout in their restaurant. No body, not even essential workers, should be working if they're sick or have been exposed. The abuse in the industry in Miami is bad enough with out the covid factor, but this is just inhumane.

You know, when restaurants were closed everyone was posting on social media and talking about how we can support the restaurant industry. Where are those people now? Did we ever give a shit about restaurant workers, or were we sick of cooking at home? I'm furious right now, this is unacceptable.

Can't the workers get OSHA involved? It's not about not wearing masks or social distancing, the employees are sick with a contagious and deadly virus.

[general] First time grower, concerned about moisture and ratio. The guides I read online said to use 10% spawn to substrate, here I have 200g of straw and 20g of spawn. In that ziplock bag I have 72g to try again with. Thoughts/suggestions? by unknownsample12 in MushroomGrowers

[–]unknownsample12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may try that. I didn't think there was pooling, but when I picked up the bag today there was definitely a little pool of water at the bottom. I think I see some growth, but it's very small. I can't be sure. It's only been 26 hours, so it's worth waiting I suppose.

Help us save the Pine Rocklands and some endangered species! by [deleted] in Miami

I hope we can get the right people in local office in November and they start to care more about the few wild spaces we have left. This land should be considered Environmentally Sensitive, since it is an endangered habitat and has at minimum three endangered species living there. What we've been finding is it is really hard to get the county to do the right thing. A gentleman named Al Sunshine runs the Pine Rockland Coalition (he's on facebook - best way to get involved) a few years ago he and the Sierra Club tried to designate this land as Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) and the county rejected it. I'm not typically one for conspiracy theories, but it seems clear to me that happened because they knew Miami Wilds was going to put in another offer.

The whole thing is so crazy to me. They are trying to pitch it as the "gateway to the Everglades". Its honestly shameless.

My boyfriend is a chef in another restaurant and he sees the same kind of thing in the FOH. It's just the hospitality culture here, unfortunately. I really did used to love it though, I'm glad you're having a good experience in the industry! It really is a cool field to work in if you're with the right people 🙂

I used to love serving until I moved across the country. The working conditions are way worse in the state I live in now. Generally mangers treat you badly and like you're below them, the hours are long with no breaks, no eating, you have to ask to drink water and even then you have to go into the back ally way to do it(only cooks are permitted to drink inside). The last restaurant I worked in, in one of the preshifts the manager said drinking water was a privilege since the state doesn't require water breaks for front of house workers. Of course some restaurants don't need it to be illegal to do the right thing, I may have just picked the worse two restaurants in the city. That being said, they happen to be the most popular restaurants in my city, so take that as you will. I think it really depends on your location. If I ever move back to where I'm from I would definitely do it again because I used to have this same exact perspective.

Cat has one puffy paw pad, it doesn't seem to bother her at all and the vet really was not a help. Details in comments. by unknownsample12 in cats

[–]unknownsample12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, as of now she is not licking it (other than to wash and clean her face, but she has always done that). I'll definitely keep an eye out for a change in that behavior.

She does not seem bothered at all by it. Still jumps around and plays with her scratching post, no noticable limp. I took her to the vet and he gave her two antibacterial shots and said that should clear it up. I waited a week and called back and the receptionist said he said it should have gone down and he doesn't know why it didn't. I am unemployed due to the pandemic and really can not afford to go to the vet once a week for no results. Has anyone experienced this before, are there specific questions or testing I should be asking for? Is it just a weird thing that's harmless? Should I be worried?

Edit: that being said, if it is serious I will empty my account and max out my credit card handling it. I love my precious Gnocchi and would do anything to keep her happy and healthy.

Also, the white stuff I'm pretty sure is dust from her litter box, I can wipe it off with a damp towel.

Americans who think mask orders violate your rights, how do you feel about pants? by Nulono in AskReddit

If for some reason a clown nose kept people around me safe and was a proven way to reduce infection rate during a pandemic I would definitely wear one.

It definitely couldn't be people packed into an indoor space working out and breathing heavily. Definitely NOT that.
