This is pretty conclusive as H. Americanum, but you’re 100% free to call it Lion’s Mane outside of academic discussion with a mycologist.
All the similar Hericium species in this cluster are edible and cook similarly, so any further distinction is a matter of taxonomic interest rather than culinary — kinda like how P. Ostreatus is “the” oyster mushroom, but there are additional species (e.g. golden oysters) that fall under the common-name umbrella of “oyster mushrooms”.
There’s a gangstalking subreddit; go give it a look.
You’ll see plenty of people posting on there about how “the followers” only appear when said poster has just finished smoking their bowl of meth. They’ll ask: Are the stalkers following them to steal their crank, or is the meth opening a vision of true reality and “unmasking” the followers?
And weirdly, no one can say for sure.
I’m not joking at all: These are the people you’re white-knighting. Maybe you can be the brave hero who solves the mystery for them?
FWIW I switched over to Nix recently, and discovered that deploying builds over SSH is a first-class feature.
I wired up remote build pushes from my workstation to my underpowered VPS + antique thinkpad, and it’s been 100% painless. You can definitely make immutable work on <1 GB memory without much fuss if you’re not locked into a single-device model.
If you were a painter who who makes art for a living, does it really seem “fair” for someone else to take your work, without any sort of consent or compensation, and use it to produce other works that are in direct competition (for time, money and attention) with you? How is that “fair” in any sense of the word?
You’re equating the human process of learning and practicing art to scraping and feeding a bunch of stuff into a machine learning algorithm
You were not talking at all about LLMs in your rhetoric: you were talking about artists painting and I responded to what you wrote. You made the analogy linking LLM output to an artists output; I did not.
Please engage in good faith or self-ban.

This is exactly how it works in the real world. I can go teach a class* on how to imitate the art style and techniques of any living famous artist, and as long as I’m not knocking off a direct copy of their pieces, it’s kosher per copyright law and per social norms.
I could even show the artist’s works unaltered in those classes as long as I’m doing so to comment educationally.
That’s been the standard for literal centuries and most creatives are not offended or upset by it. I personally would not at all be offended or considered it unfair if someone taught a class on how I made things I showed publicly.
I spotted these while hiking and didn’t harvest, but I’ve had spathulata in the past and it’s quite nice!
I found the texture just a touch unpleasant when dry-sauteed (though I don’t know if that’s particular to the species, my cooking, or the specimen I was working with) — but I’ve heard people use it as a noodle-like texture in soups, and I think it would be perfect for that.
The best resource on this front is Michael Bazzell’s Extreme Privacy Guide, written for dealing with exactly the sort of situation you’re facing.
You clearly don’t need help getting that plant to grow upwards lol, but if you want to thin the overcrowding for aesthetic purposes, snip a few of the offending branches at their base with loppers to make room for the bushes, starting small and snipping a few more every time you trim until you’re happy :).
While it could certainly use a trim-up and some cleared avenues for maintenance, it’s a lovely garden bed and you don’t need to overthink it.
Definitely not septoria; septoria usually starts in the lower leaves, has a more spotty pattern to it, and kills leaves as it moves along the plant.
What you’re showing looks more like mechanical damage, probably from wind banging the leaves against that rung of the cage, or possibly a cold snap if you’re somewhere far north. Sunburn would usually be on the list of possibilities too, but not likely per your description.
I have an “innovation award” trophy from my last job sitting on my office bookshelf.
The alleged innovation was rolling out git to track the DB schema backing mission-critical operations, in the year 2021.
(It was a government job btw.)
Serious answer, content-farm listicle authors deliberately make provocative choices to get more attention, and also usually don’t personally care about whatever they’re writing on.
Quoting from the wikipedia page of Screen Rant’s parent company:
According to TheWrap, previous and current Valnet employees claim the company prioritizes “mass quantity over quality to churn out mind-numbing SEO bait.” Once websites are acquired by Valnet, the permanent staff are usually replaced by contractors, who are paid significantly less (reportedly around $19 for 1000 words at GameRant) than the former tenured staff. One former contributor described Valnet website Collider to TheWrap as “a content mill, borderline like almost sweatshop-level”, while another writer suggested that Valnet forced contractors to create “junky clickbait” content.
This is probably a case of blind men touching an elephant, but Kagi to me genuinely feels like Google did 15 years ago.
The actually-useful static content of the internet is still there buried under the deluge of slop.
As a sweeping generalization, this is only a problem with chain gyms.
If you need a solid litmus test though, call them during core hours and ask for a quick tour. Nearly all indie gyms will let you pay for a day pass or similar if you’re new (though that isn’t always part of their posted rates). If they won’t let you test the waters without signing up for recurring payment, it’s not a gym worth going to.
Nah, it’s not trying to compete on that front.
True E2EE isn’t compatible with a Discord-like UX due to backward secrecy issues, and it’s a bit of a moot point given that self-hosting mostly sidesteps the core problem E2EE solves.
In case you missed it, there’s a worthy discord competitor now, and it can be self-hosted: https://fluxer.app/.
Switched over with a group of friends months ago, and it’s been seamless.
I’m happy to see the Chinese labs start competing on SOTA… but hot damn that price is a turnoff.
Anyone tried Kimi 2.7 Coding out in practice yet? Curious to know how it fares against Deepseek 4 and similar budget options.
By default, when it’s older than two weeks and you run any of the standard commands which trigger a GC check.

I’m 100% going to drop this on a non-technical recruiter next job hop.
Thank you for your service 🫡.
This is perfectly normal for chaga, save for the exceptionally phallic shape.
