Can I see a picture of that little round spot at the bottom?


I'm afraid you cannot because the picture upload feature is not cooperating with me at this time. It is a quart jar, there are grains of rye and it is ochra mycelium.  Later I'll try posting the picture again.

I haven’t picked up a zine or read any punk gossip/news in quite a while. So, I had no idea Stza was such a turd. But, honestly, I’m never surprised by any frontman turning out to be a douche. Many of them let the stage stuff go to their heads, punks or not. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great ones. But Stza was always kind of an asshole anyway.

His GF live tweeted him beating her then throwing her out of the hotel room, then a bunch of other women came forward about him.  He's been a pariah ever since, almost no one will play with him and you can bet if he shows up in a town people are out head hunting.

Personally I'm glad a man that beats and abuses women can't walk around in public without fear for his safety.  That's called a functional society.

I was friends with enough people that lived at C squat in the 90s to get the whole picture.  He's always been a fucking turd.

I’ve never spent any time in NY so I don’t know too much about them. I saw LOC when I lived in CA and he had a dickhead vibe. Didn’t know he was a woman beater, though.

This is something interesting I came across while looking for random new music. It's a playlist called Chinese folk metal. It combines traditional Chinese instruments and singing with heavy metal guitar and lyrics, all sung in Chinese

Have you seen the heavy metal classic guy?

He plays heavy metal music using classical period instruments like lutes.

I also didn't spend any time in NY, I'm a Portland punk :lol:

That punk network before social media was amazing.  I really miss waking up to random people putting fliers on the fridge in the punk houses I lived in.

Before facebook there was the punk house fridge.

Nice! Fond memories of the punk houses in Chicago. Good times. I wonder if anything like that still exists.

GC, that sounds weird and interesting. I’ll check it out.

I was in the Bay Area for 80's hardcore. Dead Kennedys etc. Used to see European Bands like the Subhumans at the Rock on Broadway. I can't imagine listening to non politically motivated music... Ever.

Feels weird to admit it, but I don't have iso in the house. At all. Used it once for an extraction, but it's so damn toxic, went back to food grade 96% ethanol. Never used it for shrooms. In the past I used 'bio lamp fuel' (= 85% ethanol). Never sprayed that either.



I've been going through a lot of ISO, just to wipe down everything ritually as i put it in front of my flow hood, after i wipe down the working surface and my gloves. 

I don't get ISO on my skin, but I'm breathing in a lot of the fumes.  How toxic is it in that form?  I've read it is especially toxic to the optical nerve or something like that? 

Ethanol would be ideal, but so expensive... I think my first step would be to cut down on the amount of alcohol I use to wipe things down with my clean technique - like, i wipe down every quart jar even though they've just been sterilized... in an AA sterilizer that still holds a little bit of pressure (probably unnecessary, but it's too big to open in front of the clean flow.)  I also wipe down jars that come out of a Presto PC, but that intakes unfiltered air so that seems more necessary. I'm afraid of learning the hard way through contamination... 

or maybe it's just worth the Ethanol vs IPA, because i do want to respect my body through this.

I’m pretty much right there with ya. It doesn’t have to be punk/hardcore, but it has to have some fucking substance. Being from the Midwest, we had a lot of good music in the 80’s. Naked Raygun probably my favorite, but Out of Order was a close second.

Let this be a warning on alcohol from trusty AI.

Even brief exposure to elevated levels can irritate the respiratory tract:
•  Nose, throat, and eye irritation, coughing, and wheezing (noticeable starting around 400–800 ppm in short human tests).
•  Headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, drowsiness, or loss of coordination.
Higher or more intense exposure (such as intentional “huffing” or buildup in enclosed areas) can lead to:
•  Central nervous system depression (like intoxication but more toxic than drinking ethanol).
•  Difficulty breathing, vomiting, low blood pressure, unconsciousness, or—in extreme cases—respiratory failure and death.
The Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) level is 2,000 ppm (per NIOSH/CDC data), meaning concentrations that high can cause permanent harm or be fatal with short exposure.
Long-Term (Chronic) or Repeated Exposure
Frequent high-level inhalation may contribute to:
•  Liver and kidney strain.
•  Potential nervous system effects (memory/concentration issues, irritability, fatigue, or nerve damage—though not fully confirmed specifically for IPA, it’s a known risk with many solvents).
•  Worsened respiratory irritation or reduced lung function over time.
Animal studies show lung inflammation (chemical pneumonitis) and other organ changes at very high levels (e.g., 12,000+ ppm).

Did your AI mention that using it can lower your blood pressure?

I don't think AI is able to be trusted especially not for medical advice.

Did you see the article where an author wrote that he was the number one most famous person in the author world for winning hot dog eating contest.
By just getting a couple of authors to agree with him that was a thing that happened. AI lies and says that's a fact now.

Seriously do not trust AI unless you are really certain because of other sources.

Mike Patton is touring with Tomahawk this year. Melvins are along for the ride. Tomahawk and Melvins in small venues. This is turning out to be a great year for shows. Tickets go on pre-sale Wednesday.

yeah please don't use AI for my sake anymore, I'm trying to not support it.  But I know you're trying to help, so don't take offense.

Also, that's not really what I'm looking for.  I've had none of those (or any) symptoms, and I am not talking about high level exposures.

confession:  I quite like the faint smell of IPA, as I have fond memories and associations of using it for mush cult.

Well, since God hates a coward, I’d better go to that show! Too bad Steve Albini died and won’t be with them. I’m  stoked about that tour. Thanks for the heads up, Gil!

I watched a Benn Jordan video recently about data center noise pollution.

It's all infrasonic waves so below what we hear.  But the damage they're causing to both wild life and humans who live near them is terrifying.

His video is essentially the first pilot study.

Anyway, I confess I'd sleep better at night if this stuff wasn't being built all over the world.
