If it works on swabs like that it would probably work fine on foil. Either way I would put it in a baggie.

Sealing the humidity in will help the pasteurization process, and reduce the odds of cross-contamination from all of the other stuff we run in the dehydrator.

Confession - though it took me a couple of days to make soup after making some homemade chicken stock last weekend, my first soup of the season was awesome!

The stock turned out to be super rich thanks to roasted aromatic veg and mushrooms. As always, I reduced out all the water, so after straining and refrigeration I had a block of chicken-y jello. It started out pretty traditional (carrots, celery, thyme), but ended up as a nicely thickened, curried chicken stew. Slap ya mama good, will do again.


Oh Shazam! Curried chicken stew sounds amazing and I’m going to have to give that a shot. The weather is turning and it’s definitely the start of soup season.

Confession: my corporate tech-y job has taken a huge toll on my mental health over the past few years, and my efforts to find a new one have all been unsuccessful. It's really starting to wear me down and make me want to get out of this line of work. However, I would either have to take a much lower paying job or go back to school to do that. I have two young kids and a mortgage, so the idea of taking a barely-above-minimum-wage job just to stick it to my corporate overlords is an idiotic move. It wouldn't even cover the cost of daycare.

As the child of two educated professionals, it was always assumed that I would do well in school, go to college, get a white collar job of some type, work 30-40 years, blah blah blah. And I was fine with that. Went to college, did everything you're supposed to, but then really "fumbled the bag" after that in terms of career path. I eventually found my way into the tech field because up until 2022 the jobs were plentiful and the barrier to entry was relatively low. Well, now if you're not doing all the AI all the time (and also cheerleading about how amazing it is), nobody gives you the time of day. I am not an AI enthusiast, let me put it that way. I just want to punch the clock and work on my shit.

Confession: the idea of enrolling in an HVAC/R program at a tech school near me is pretty appealing. I feel like a lot of you shroomers are rough-hewn tradespeople. Is the idea of a 36 year old, college educated father of 2 preschool kids going to HVAC school ridiculous? Any time I take a career strengths assessment type thing it says I'm a pragmatic fixer type person and I think that's true. The idea of showing up to the job site, fixing/installing/etc the stuff, go home, do it again....that's SUPER appealing. And HVAC seems to be very in demand. But that's just my outsider's viewpoint bolstered somewhat by a glance at my local pipefitter's union website and the school's program descriptions. I don't want to be naive. I'm somewhat concerned that everyone else has this same idea and I'll come out the other side competing for scraps with every other white collar refugee who got replaced by AI or what have you.

So...TL;DR just looking for thumb-in-the-air shroomified takes on the trades job market and any advice. I enjoy lurking and reading all your conversations. :cheers:


My dude, I did a massive career change at 36 with a kid on the way, a mortgage and a car loan. I was nervous and scared AF. It is possible! I did the pre-training while I was still working my first career.

I was 17 years in a major global company. Started part time hourly blue collar and worked my way up the corporate ladder to a very prestigious white collar position. It got old. Though I did enjoy the daily challenge and interaction with people. I just didn’t want to travel anymore and look like I was pumped full of embalming fluid when I retired half dead from stress.

I switched to a highly skilled blue collar career, which I spend at least half my day by myself. I kinda go in, self directed, say hello, do my job, say goodbye and go home. I’m doing that almost 23 years now and make way more $ than I ever could at my last career. However, my job now is a fuck ton of responsibility and I have to be on the ball with 110% focus when I’m working. However, I do get some decent downtime at work too. So it’s a nice balance.

My point is, you can do this. A career change is possible. However, never burn your bridges. Train first if you can, while working your current job, even if you have to take leave or vacation to do it. I never left a job in my entire life (with the exception of one) where I didn’t have something else lined up and it was a step up in pay or potential. HVAC is fantastic career, and something you’ll never be shy of side work with. However as some others gave you their input, it’s not easy, especially when it’s hot out and you gotta do it in a sweltering tight dirty environment. And there is so much you can do in that field from small residential and small businesses needs to major commercial high rises or refrigerated warehouses. Talk it over with your family and make the decision that is best for your sanity first, but that also won’t jeopardize your family’s security. Good luck to you! You can do this!

Swabs in baggies in the dehydrator. Just went back and read it, and it looks like I did 140° for 2 hours. I feel like you can do 150°.


So would this work on prints made on foil as well to pasteurize them? Or would it kill the spores?


The reason behind the swabs was being able to test multiple controls and experiments. A print should be fine

This week my partner was cleaning some herbs from the garden and I asked her what it was.  Her response caused my blood pressure to shoot up.

And I only had to mod him for a year on discord before everything blew up.

Anyway, the continued trolling of mods on his puppets is all the proof anyone should need that the staff made the right decision.

And outside of reporting every puppet that pops up, I have no interest in hearing or speaking his name again.

Would you brain Thomas Beckett to keep Canterbury Cathedral open?

Oh, shit, that reminds me, I was dosing my cats yesterday and went upstairs to get one of them from the bedroom where he always hangs out. Homeboy was fussing and struggling with me, and even kicked the container of <redacted> out of my hand. Then I realized it just because he was so pumped by the smell. Once I put a plate out for him, he was like, "yeah, that's what I'm talking about." Ten minutes later, my living room looked like a 19th century opium den, both cats sprawled out on the furniture with their plates next to them. Went on for hours lol
