How does this square with the whole libertarian bend?

Also need to factor in waste management as well. With sufficient bacteria and time, the effluents can be converted to compost. It will take a ton of algae bioreactors to prevent the CO2 generated from becoming toxic. Packaging can be buried, but I think it would be better if it was compostable as well.

We also need to consider fire suppression. A fire in a low gravity and/or high oxygen environment is going to be dangerous quickly and could harm critical systems. The fire suppression material itself could also imbalance the environment and , at minimum, could be a big hassle to clean up.

In regards to food growth, aeroponics can be fine tuned and automated, but this works best for leafy vegetables. Keep in mind that Mars doesn’t have the inert Nitrogen atmosphere that Earth does, so nitrogen fixing doesn’t work to our benefit, which means we’ll need to acquire sources of bio available nitrogen.

Phosphorous may also be a problem, since our best stores of that currently come from bird and bat guano.

How do they currently do it on space stations?

What a fun city. Having lived in the South most of my life, I somehow associated it as not a great place to visit. I was so wrong. Yes, it’s a party city, but it’s so, so much more. The food is top notch, the gardens are beautiful, and where else in the south can you ride a cable car, as regular public transportation!

As for the coffee, yea the chicory was different, but it tasted good, added a bit of a root bear kind of taste, mildly pleasant. I wouldn’t drink it every day, I don’t like sweet coffee, but occasionally a nice treat. Coincidentally, I live in Chapel Hill now and the place up the street sells chicory coffee, both brewed and cold brew. It’s nice when, like you, I want to reminisce about that beautiful trip.

Read a book.

That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.

China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.

India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.

Oh, my friend, I suggest you look into fugu, mad cow or chronic wasting disease.

You are correct, bad typo. Corrected

No you were right, it does mean boiling twice, much like you would do for cassavas.

Roots, not mycelium, sorry if that was confusing.

Don’t eat mycelium.

All good points, your comment deserves a whole lot more upvotes.

Sure, and I suppose you’re going to advise me not to do my own electrical home wiring either. 😛

A general rule is if it has pores instead of gills, you’re probably in the clear.

Except for that one in Europe, that shit will megadeath you.

In all seriousness, the general rule I’ve heard for foraging wild unknown things is:

• cut it open and rub it on your skin, wait an hour, if it gives you a reaction, stop here.
• touch it to your lips, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• touch it to your tongue, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• chew a bit and spit it out, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• swallow a small amount, wait a few hours, if it gives you discomfort, stop here
• if you’ve made it this far, it’s likely ok, do so at your own risk tolerance

Roots are generally OK, particularly if you have access to double boil them.

For mushrooms:

• pores are generally safer than gills
• don’t eat it if it’s bioluminescent
• don’t eat if it oxidizes quickly when you cut it open
• don’t eat it if it bruises blue or red
• learn how to detect what a bolete is. Boletes are generally safe, unless it breaks one of the rules above
• Slime: Just say no.
• make sure there’s not a mushroom growing on your mushroom. Double the mushroom is not double the fun.
• learn what a destroying angel looks like, even when it’s young. Appreciate it from a distance, but give that fucker 5 feet of space at all times.

I am by no means an expert. I’m just a rando guy from Appalachia with some wild ass Russian buds and we do some funky shit down here. Take everything I say with as much trust as you give to anyone on the Internet.

When in doubt, take it to an expert and even then, consume at your own risk tolerance.
