a great deal of alcohol, weed, etc, is consumed ,very specifcly, to forget. to the point that users, often workers doing labour, or other jobby jobs, get fairly aggetated by days, and especialy weeks end, wrapped up in an overload of the realities of serving others interests, and ends. drugs provide a crude function similar to the processing that occurs durring sleep and dreaming. That this has effects on the gut, is hardly unexpected ,but that the system will recover with due care, is. Treating the gut as a self maintaining biological digester, which it is, then suggests looking at how various industrial digestors operate and malfunction.

hen of the woods, shelf mushrooms, look , taste, and have the texture of chicken breast meat, and sometimes grow very prolificaly on large dying hardwoods, ie: fill pickup trucks from one tree. it also stores very well at room temperature, and just drys out if left in room temp conditions for weeks+ but it if finicky about where and when it grows, like most fungus.

as your typical, on the land outdoors type, I see and examine many different kinds of mushrooms and fungus, of which there seems to be an inexaustable variety.

as another note, I canno longer enjoy many tropical fruits, and other industrial agricultural products, because I can taste mold, just a hint in a lot of it, but pervasive to the point of "why bother"

I cant stand trying to use a phone to my ear, never use anything but speaker. The speaker for the ear piece is just useless, precious junk, I have given up, dont, wont, try to use it. Guy tried to discpiline me for useing the speaker the other day, and I said no, he got the idea that I would in fact escalate, ha! Worse it is no longer possible to get a phone with decent volume for taking calls in the truck or on work sites, or just to listen to music,you know at home....so those things dont happen.....

phone speaker rating is gone from any list of features, and there are no reviews that compare the volume and sound quality, how did that happen with zero discussion or push back?

fuck you all for trying to live in your little pristine taboo bubbles ,eh!

no problem stopping a conversation without preamble or appology 5 times to answer the LOUD notification for a message , critical no doubt, so back to fucking you give us back decent speakers, and perhaps a real ear piece...? molded into the flip side ??? or something other than AI garbage and mountains of unwanted "features", and adverconsumption oportunities.
