Only if those vegetables or shrooms were grown in natural sunlight (no greenhouse plastic/glass involved) and in a soil with abundant minerals, macronutrients, and high brix value.
>The weird thing is we take it for granted instead of being repelled by it.
Yes, exactly this right here. It was straight up bizarre to grow up with near 0 advertising in commie Eastern Europe and get hit with a shockwave of fairly disgusting ad bullshit when we moved to the US. I was shocked at people putting up with it as if it is something to be tolerated instead of burned to ashes. I continue to be shocked.
>AvGas (which uses TEL) is used by general aviation exclusively.
And by people who don't want to ever have to clean or rebuild a carburetor in their small motors. It's been an exceptional motor-life-extender to my chainsaws specifically.
I wholeheartedly agree. I've used CFEngine, BladeLogic, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt in various infrastructure management tasks in the UNIX/Linux space. They're all shitty tools, don't get me wrong; they all have giant gaps in functionality especially when it comes to physical storage management. However, Ansible is maybe the least shitty. The cleanest and easiest environment to manage by far, was NIS/NIS+ with properly managed and groomed tables, and bash/ksh over automounter/NFS. I watched this work idempotently, and easily, across arch platforms and various versions of operating systems (some around since before i was born) without anyone on our small team breaking a sweat). Unfortunately, this architecture requires vigilance and a level of control that seems to have slipped away from the operations groups in recent years.
Same here - went into the shop for the first time in a few years about 3 years ago, and was shocked to see two rows of "self-help"-type books. Amazing. It seems many people have outsourced our friends and familial support structures to random writers.
I was thinking of Prototaxites which was maybe 470m years old (possibly) and humongous. Sounds like sponges are it (oldest) then. Until we learn otherwise.
Fungi are the origins of all creatures on earth, humans included it seems. As far as I know, it's still the oldest identified complex organism on this planet.
