  • Name of the guy leads to name of the sister which could lead to name of the ship she’s deploying with making it clear that ship and its entire compliment will be around. Maybe that’s not the guys name, but with opsec like that there’s a solid chance it’s pretty easy to find out.

    It doesn’t have to be a lot of information to you for it to be a lot of information to the intelligence wing of some other country.





  • I recently watched another life, and if I were to judge those people as though they were people I could be friends with, I’d hate all of them and probably try to dump them out an airlock. Their reactions are wildly over the top and just unrealistic.

    But as a show, I really enjoyed the constant soap-opera-style ramping up of stakes and events. It was just nonstop poor decisions resulting in drama.

    It got canceled after the second season so I’m guessing I was in the minority about enjoying the presentation…


  • Yeah fungus, but also the sludge sometimes forms a crust on the top inch or so of whatever you dump it on, especially if you do it repeatedly or your water is super sludgy (like my turtle filter produces some crazy sludge). It can also end up with salt buildup, not necessarily sodium salt, but just any sort of mineral residue that builds up and crystallizes. An occasional soak and rinse will clear all that stuff out, and leave you with reasonably clean coir once more.

    As for the fungus, that’s super normal, but if you want to avoid it potentially being a problem, you can pick up some soil amendment that contains beneficial fungus (the sort that works with plant roots to increase nutrient and moisture absorption) to outcompete the nasty stuff you don’t want. You’ll want to look for a Mycorrhiza mix, which means symbiotic relationship between fungus and plant. There are tons of options available, I’ve used a powder variety to great effect.



  • If you pick up coco coir (an inert medium for hydroponics when plants need a bit more rooting structure) you can dump that sludge right over top to water whatever plant you have growing in it.

    If it ends up getting kinda gross, take it outside and hose a bunch of water through it to rinse it, good to continue. But mostly it just causes the coir to break down a bit faster than it otherwise would, due to the bacteria, so this is basically like adding compost continuously.

    Doesn’t work for every plant, but does work for a lot of them! I have potatoes in such a setup right now, and it’s pretty swanky.


  • Interesting, I find fresh celery to have a massive flavor, very strong and makes my tongue somewhat numb if I eat a few whole sticks with no dip, similar to clove numbness. Not at all sweet or grassy, though cooking does seem to destroy whatever it is that makes my mouth numb…

    I like celery and all, but I’m apparently getting a different experience of it…
