•College is much too expensive and extremely slow, while instructing very little, even PhDs.
•The likelihood of very capable AI is immense. Biofeedbacks were available back to the '30s -- a method of truth awareness via self-expression; also, Google published a linguistics modeling dataset with 11B parameters. Everything is "available" to somebody.
•"Transmutation", energy, and other fundamental aspects are simple.
•The body is physiologically adept at doing anything (plausible with technology).

Found a pond made of chalk. Didn't expect it to support as much life as I observed. Several species of aquatic plants. A few insects including dragonflies. Didn't see any fish but it's barely a puddle at this time of year. Not even sure if fish would survive the intense chalkiness.

I suppose it could depend on the cultivar. I learned the other day that the garden strawberry is actually a hybrid developed in France from South American species.

>> No.12126276

>>12126243
It was a hybrid of F. virginiana from Eastern N America and F. chiloensis from Chile. The best strawberry imo is F. vesca.

Absolutely. Growing from seed as a big waste of time.
I'm mostly wondering if I cut them off will the plants waste more energy growing new stolons than if I simply let them keep growing. They put down their own roots quite quickly but that doesn't appear to stop a stolon growing. They just seem to get longer and longer. Of course every node on the stolon can form roots and become it's own plant, but if I let it root and then trim the end will the main plant make fewer new stolons. I should devise an experiment. I've raised 40 plants this summer so I've got just about enough to get a good answer should one exist I think.

>The best strawberry imo is F. vesca.
I've heard the flavour is excellent but I'm not impressed by the yield. I've got a selection of cultivars taken from my dad's garden that should provide me fruit all summer. One of my little plants even produced a new a flower the other day and It's nearly the end of the season.

Do it. The common wisdom is that stopping stolon development does force more fruit growth, but I’m about 90% sure that’s wrong, because “common wisdom” about plant physiology is almost ALWAYS extremely wrong, based on wholly mistaken assumptions.
I’m convinced that allowing them to spread themselves naturally is optimal for plant health and thus fruit production. No pruned stand of strawberries maintains its vigor for more than a couple years.

Science this shit.

Oh btw: plant borage in your strawberry patches. Companion plant combo of the gods.

I steal stolons from nice looking plants in nurseries and hardware stores, and propagate wild ones.
Borage, you can keep growing from seed practically forever. Also it’s a good green veggie, great flower tisane, and has possible pharmaceutical activity

Important discussion subtopic: parasites.

A). The likelihood of parasitic propagation to meat, amongst birds and droppings, bugs (such as flies and fleas), fish, the conditions of farmed animals, and repeated and non-sanitized usage of food machinery, is large (in this status of science).
B). Sub-well-done meat is very publicly common, and actual raw meat is somewhat also, furthering the problem.
C). Minimalistic is the likelihood that a lot of raw meat is properly frozen..
>Freezing and storing at an ambient temperature of -4°F (-20°C), or below, for 7 days; freezing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at an ambient temperature of -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours; or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24hrs.
..Except for very strict conditions, *any* ("uncooked") meat is susceptible to parasites. (And the plausibility of even these freezing methods doing much is at a low. Eggs and worms are very resilient.)

Plus, it's much more. ..Canned / packaged beverages and foods; materials..

I’m serious, species of technology should be regarded as parasitic paraorganisms.

And homo sapiens eusociality isn’t me speaking, it’s an established proposal in sociobiology.

If you’re concerned with society exposing itself to pathogens and parasites via unsanitary machine-production/consumption systems, you should understand why homo sapiens is feeding itself this way in the first place, i.e. what our society is, how it came to exist in simian biodynamics, why it’s so intertwined with the desires and demands of machines, etc.

So, /sci/, I need a filter (that's cleansable / ~immune of "biotoxins" such as botulinum, E. coli, and streptococcus) for cleansing alcohol and other consumable liquids. (An ordinary "permanent" obviously isn't quality enough for eggs / bio-products.)
