i will never shut up about how my generation has been serially infantalized and slandered by decaying dinosaurs who resented us for actually believing our liberal education, however seeing how our media taste has stagnated i cannot say with a straight face that we will ever see the light of heaven

Got a proper fairy ring of Yellow-Orange Fly Amanita growing in the yard. Apparently the kind of mushroom that gets you high, and gives you dysphoria? Nevertheless, choosing to take the ring as a blessing for my interview later this week.

Photo of a cluster of young yellow-orange fly amanita, with round eggy-orange caps with white flecks all over them.

Photo of a cluster of a half-ring of yellow-orange fly amanita, sprouting up near a pile of chopped logs. They're growing where the roots of the chopped tree used to be.

An excerpt from the wikipedia page from Amanita Muscaria Formosa (Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria_var._formosa). It reads:

Biochemistry:

As with other Amanita muscaria, the formosa variety contains ibotenic acid, and muscimol, two psychoactive constituents which can cause effects such as hallucinations, synaesthesia, euphoria, dysphoria and retrograde amnesia. The effects of muscimol and ibotenic acid most closely resemble that of a Z drug, like Ambien at high doses, and not a classical psychedelic, i.e. psilocybin.

Ibotenic acid is mostly broken down into the body to muscimol, but what remains of the ibotenic acid is believed to cause the majority of dysphoric effects of consuming A. muscaria mushrooms. Ibotenic acid is also a scientifically important neurotoxin used in lab research as a brain-lesioning agent in mice.

Taking a course on renewable energy has had the side effect of giving me a lot of neat ideas for letting players engineer modular power systems in Gremlin Game.

Screenshot of text from a project note-taking app. It reads:

"Energy Systems: Photovoltaic power is daytime and weather/season dependent. It generally wants to be paired with battery systems for storage. Light can be the most versatile, either directly providing heat or converting to electricity via photovoltaics. It requires more specialized materials and manufacturing capacity. Solar cooking, boiling, distillation, and even smelting is possible. ~20-40% efficient.

Hydroelectric power runs constantly, though it is affected seasonally by flow or freezes/drought. It gets its power from Flow (rate and volume of water moving through) and Head (how far it falls between intake to turbine). This makes it more dependent on conditions like location. Water is denser and yields higher energy production, and also requires relatively simple technology. ~50-75% efficient. Intake is the most maintenance-intensive (clogging, etc)

Wind power needs to be far above ground to avoid turbulence, and must be built to match the expected wind speed for good efficiency, but scales exponentially with wind speed and rotor size. It thrives in areas with inclement weather and harder-to-control conditions, so its equipment needs more maintenance.

Geothermal power is the best for capturing heat for direct use in industrial processes (from hot springs, thermal vents, etc). Can be used to boil water for steam generators. Ground source heat exchange can be used anywhere to stabilize temperatures (use ground as heatsink or heat source) as long as exchanger is buried below frost line for that climate.

Bioenergy extracts energy as part of the decomposition process of biomass. Can be processed into biofuel/biogas, natural gas can be captured from anaerobic decomposition, ethanol from plant matter, and burning agricultural waste (feces, chaff, etc)

Hydrogen Fuel Cells (and Natural Gas Fuel Cells) can synthesize combustible gas using a source of..."

Wicked stressful morning, so I'm working through my audiobook backlog, and reinforcing a hole in some old jeans, to give my hands and brain something to do. Doing slow, methodical work feels so nice, sometimes.

While using a little cardboard tube to move a shield beetle outside, I noticed such a powerful smell coming from it. Sort of like cut grass and peaches. Guessing it was some kind of beetly stress smell, though it was a nice if overwhelming for my hyperactive snoot.

Wild that we just accept a world where the working class hold a job at all times, or risk imminent suffering/death. We just let a handful of assholes build an existential threat onto the modern world of abundance, by withholding or even destroying it to preserve a potential profit. Barbaric stuff.
