or, an organism thrives when everything around it thrives as well. Grow only as much as needed.

i have no idea what this is about, but it is darkly poetic

Theory of mind is a diverse field with many different views and consequences. I land in the 4e camp of epistemology, so I would say experience of insect are equally experiences of conciousness as human experiences. When you let go of human centric parameters the world takes on a very different visage. I liked this article about the 4e theory and it’s implication on the breaking down of the divide between plants and conciousness. https://worldsensorium.com/what-plants-are-saying-about-us/

I think climate negativism is often very counterproductive in the ongoing fight for effective measures. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, my friend!

It looks like you have some air pockets in your mass. The aspergillus will keep making white filaments where ever there is a surface with a little oxygen present. If it is anything other, it will not survive competition with the aspergillus in the environment created by the miso so it will not survive mixing it in. There are few fungii capable of making you sick whilst also able to grow in the miso, and even then it’s usually because of mycotoxins produced as a side product from the metbolic processes. This means they would have to be present in a very large amount, which inevitably makes the whole thing very easy to detect by smell and taste. Mix it in, and once the ferment is supposed to be completed, if it smells and tastes off, throw it out. But, I think more often than not you’ll end up fine.

Side note, it’s only since recent times people started fermenting in glass jars where everything is visible. Traditionally smell and taste were the only markers people used. Trust your senses!

Happy fermenting!

the mould can only survive on the surface. Mix it up and you’ll be fine.

The dream of wooden pirate starships becomes reality!

wow these are beautiful!

Unfortunatly I can only find this one thesis project. The output voltage is enough to consider integrating with green walls.
If we as a whole society would switch gears we would be able to build green archtecture in the blink of an eye.

Your title made me curious, is there something like learned behavior in arachids or insects?

Hi! I was looking in the general feed. So, I never changed the sort, it was on active. Now that I set it on hot I can very much so see beehaw posts.
Thanks for immediately pointing me in the right direction!
