Awesome! I hope search engines pick this thread up soon. I’d say this might just warrant leaving this post here despite clear rules violation since this obviously valuable information is not available elsewhere?

Ok ok so the whole Internets claim text is edited (it totally looks edited, but then this is kinda franchise and there could be translations going back and forth that create this edit effect). But I’m quite certain the art is original, so it’s probably not a simulacrum, but does anybody know where the heck it came from? Can we make this a place where this mystery ends?

Yeah, they expire in no time. Had to mess with blockers settings to get to it from original document, but now I have something fun to read over the weekend.

anyway, how nobody mentioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_Strain yet?

Anyone has a link (or maybe a pdf?) for the original paper this is based on?

Faith? Based on very little? Isn’t there, like, a corpus of theory already too large for anyone to read it all?

Half of the document just criticizes market system using it as an example of decentralized (missing, ahem, the whole point of capitalism criticism that states that there is nothing decentralized in our violence-maintained status-quo economy)

The other part criticizes total decentralization, for some reason placing federated and TAZ on “centralized” locus and further equating them to total centralization, drawing a conclusion that the centralized anarchist motion is not even possible but benefitial. That’s one weird stance.

That’s planar mag drive; if the wire is indeed torn, soldering it would not be an easy feat; but chances are, membranes got torn or creased, this particular model has quite crappy material according to a quick search. You might want to unsolder the wires from control circuit and attach some other dynamic to their terminals to check if there is signal; also carefully measure resistance between the same wires (should be like very low) to check this hypothesis.

With broken sound making component, the most sane approach is to buy a new acoustic driver. Rolling out DIY means pretty much designing it (or reverse engineering the old one with unknown materials), matching sound geometry and impedance and all, which is kinda hard, time*money expensive, and fun.

Open it, the really tiny wires leading to speaker often just fall off due to rush factory soldering

Well, there is technology and there is technology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo8qckXgNNw&pp=ygUf0LPQu9C-0L3QsNGB0YEt0LTQvtC30LjQvNC10YLRgA%3D%3D

Revolution is in your heart

I had troubles with logs - I have lots of trees, but apparently most are already badly inoculated. Or I need to choose really really healthy looking ones. Or dry them first maybe.

Yeah, I’m thinking in direction of edible (for mushroom) containers; maybe some cardboard origami, or simple wood plank box; I’m even thinking to try casting linoleum pots on woven jute. It must be doable, why nobody does that now?

This is possible but will take some time and resources for the tooling. Quite a lot of time if you are short on resources.

Yeah, scaling never really changes one parameter (that’s also why I always find it interesting). I’ve obviously never done it in a huge glass jar and I can see many new potential issues in all the comments here. I think I’ve got plenty of ideas here, this is amazing community!

Now that you mention it, I realized I just know the rate of diffusion of gas through plastic is enormous; I’ve done something really wrong trying to grow in vertically aligned jars!

Thanks, I’ll just try that. I know contamination starts only when the mycelium is dying; just being unreasonably careful here (I also do yeast pure cultures, habits interfere somewhat).

Thanks; I’m thinking about overcolonization indeed - Stamets mentions that growing in jars works, but mine here are just too small. Colony was supposed to hit the bottom and feel constrained, not grow up. Another thing is heat balance, which is not so obvious; the best results I’ve got were when I left the house for 2 days in the middle of the winter and temperature dropped by 2C. I mean, I expected small jars to radiate heat better, but then fruiting is surface process, maybe it’s the opposite too.

I’m also trying to come up with something that does not use disposable plastics. I know bags are quite versatile, I just hate them, not so much because of ecological issues, but like I can’t really make them myself, that’s disturbing.

But… but… they are in that humid plastic box! And the whole point of this experiment was to see whether I can run 100g media batches really; I had huge fruitings in these boxes just filled with autoclaved wooden stuff. The needle-like fruits do look like they are starved for oxygen; the horizontal ones started growing that way because they were loosely covered with foil (thus no light but full ventilation) - after I removed it I’ve got normal straight ones, but they still did not develop any gills or anything, just stopped. I suspect it’s something else. Almost like it just ran out of energy too soon, didn’t even have enough to retreat the mycelium - it’s one solid and seemingly inert block now (it’s been like that for some weeks; I have older attempts stuck like that for good, chunks of glistening white mycelium that doesn’t even rot)

These are open jars, these particular ones reside in a plastic box with some water for humidity. I’ve tried different ventilation modes, from just leaving jars open in ambient to capping them with foil, still about same results (except when it dries out it stops growing sooner, of course)

Seeing how things develop, we all might be able to pull this out without any hydroponics there.

yeah, I once made mead with pine nuts that yielded all the fat in the world. Not a memory to enjoy. Things we do for science…
