I read it, just don’t agree on the generalization. I think it’s more that there’s a cultural phobia of fungi, and not really that they’re harder to ID safely than plants.

Death camas and wild onion are not easy to tell apart. Chanterelles and morels can be identified safely and easily by beginners by looking at a few key features. Neither should use an app to ID.

Many species cannot be cultivated. For example chanterelles, truffles, and boletes are symbiotic with tree roots of specific species of trees.

Morels should be able to be cultivated, but if anybody has cracked the code it’s kept secret to keep prices high.

But yeah oyster mushrooms, and a few other wood decay fungi are pretty easy to grow.

No need to vilify fungi specifically. Plants can kill you too. Or even animals. If you’re going to hunt or forage you have to know your shit.

It feels better with no condom. Private trackers have no STI’s.

I guess iOS needs to add privacy permissions about accelerometer. I wouldn’t have thought but there’s a perfect use case: Google Maps would like access to your accelerometer.

Metering lights are on during certain hours regardless of the flow of traffic. When traffic is going fast, they provide no benefit and actually make it worse by decreasing the merge speed of cars already half way down the ramp. When traffic is crawling, they also serve no purpose. They only help when the ramp is fed by a stoplight of tailgaters, and freeway traffic is heavy but flowing around 40-60 mph.

But they always increase emissions by bringing cars to an additional full stop and acceleration. Brake and tire dust emissions will also be significant during a full stop and acceleration.

The government in California is authorized by regulations to put up stoplights as a safety device. They are authorized to manage traffic. But they are not authorized to use stoplights to manage traffic, only as a safety device.

Many of our ramps are too short without metering lights. I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually decrease safety overall. There’s enough going on getting on the freeway safely at speed without having to follow a bunch of additional rules (there are many) while flooring the accelerator.

I’ve been ignoring the lights for about 10 years. If I have to stop because of a car in front of me, I will, but if one of the ramp lanes is open, I go. Sometimes this means passing a stopped car who’s following the rules, akin to cutting in line. I feel bad about it but I didn’t make them stop in the middle of an on ramp - a stupid light did.

Don’t. And beyond that if you use their WiFi, connect to a VPN. Best just use LTE.

Since you capitalized it, I suppose you’re referring to the writing of Henry David Thoreau? Maybe worth mentioning if somebody wants to read it. Dude sat in jail to oppose poll taxes. I don’t think it needs to be public or advertised but it should be overt.

For example I don’t stop for metering lights. Everybody can see when I do it. Sometimes nobody sees. But I don’t feel the regulation is just and so I must oppose it. I’m still waiting to get a ticket so I can challenge metering lights in court.

Btdig, not a tracker just searches DHT of other trackers

32 miles or so. Friend had the idea and arranged a shuttle to hike the whole East Bay Skyline Trail. Wife and I didn’t have any 30 mile days on the Pacific Crest Trail, which seems like some kind of right of passage or dick swinging that we “missed out” on. So I guess we did it to prove to ourselves that we could do it. It was not too bad actually, but I have no desire to repeat that distance for a day. 18-25 miles is much more sensible, if you want to spend all day walking.

I looked into it a bit further and it seems the ATSC stream packets already contain built-in checksums! The interesting bit is that all the sub-channels are actually inter-mixed in one stream. So if you’re tuned to 13-1, your TV is reading and ignoring 13-2, 13-3 etc.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of any stream-correcting p2p network. I think it would start with a relatively open source tuner card. I think the tuner software is typically closed source, but it would be doing the work of reading the radio stream of a frequency and sending out an mpeg stream.
