I haven’t tried myself but my understanding from reading Stamets is that you’re supposed to cut the log and move it to a wood shed or something right away without letting it sit on the ground for an extended period. Alder is supposed to decay much quicker than other hardwoods as well so it’s not used as often.

Plastic buckets drilled holes are good reusable option. If you want to avoid plastics all together you could use some of this spawn to plug a small alder log.

Your jars probably over-colonized because there wasn’t enough surface area getting proper ventilation/evaporation to trigger primordia formation so it just kept colonizing. It looks like pins didn’t start until the mycelium grew over the top of the jar and by then all the food was already used up.

Topfruiting jars isn’t a great method even for terrestrial mushrooms, I imagine it’s worse for oysters. Consider using small oven bags instead, that way you can cut the sides to trigger fruiting earlier and across a wider surface.

The problem is if five Democrats who people want to vote for are in a jungle primary with two Republicans who people want to vote for, then there’s a decent chance the general election may end up with two Republicans on the ballot.

Jungle primaries are dumb, the only way they would make sense is if they used approval voting or something.

Fair use requires you to analyze or comment on the work or transform the original work in some way, non-commercial use isn’t enough on its own.

The real reason it’s “ok” is that it’s unlikely the owner would be able to prove damages from someone using their image as an avatar so it’s not worth taking anyone to court over it because all they would get is the judge ordering them to stop and a C&D is cheaper if the owner really cares about stopping you.

In the US that’s usually a bad deal because you lose employer-sponsored healthcare.

I do because bazzite consistently kernel panics for me roughly every third wake-from-sleep with nothing in the logs.
