Thanks for your findings, and for the pictures!
I looked up "RO water" - that's water filtered with reverse osmosis, with nothing added?
One of favorites cds to the root of a project directory from a subdirectory,
# Changes to top-level directory of git repository.
alias gtop="cd \$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
That's a helpful one! I also add a function that creates a tmp directory, and cds to it which I frequently use to open a scratch space. I use it a lot for unpacking tar files, but for other stuff too.
(These are nushell functions)
# Create a directory, and immediately cd into it.
# The --env flag propagates the PWD environment variable to the caller, which is
# necessary to make the directory change stick.
def --env dir [dirname: string] {
mkdir $dirname
cd $dirname
}
# Create a temporary directory, and cd into it.
def --env tmp [
dirname?: string # the name of the directory - if omitted the directory is named randomly
] {
if ($dirname != null) {
dir $"/tmp/($dirname)"
} else {
cd (mktemp -d)
}
}
What is this, The Mothion now?
Pretty funny though!
Fair enough - although I interpreted it as a flag like at the end of a sed match-and-replace command. Or I guess a closing HTML tag would make sense.
Why is Laforge in charge of the cargo bay? He's a busy guy!
I've done Mindfulness meditation, and I find it very helpful. It gets easier with practice too. But I haven't developed a habit of meditating regularly so I don't actually do it often. It's hard to keep up with things that feel optional.
Something that helps me to meditate more often than never is to think of it as something I can do anywhere, without preparation. Then when I find myself waiting for something I can take that time to meditate. Like waiting for a train, in a waiting room, etc. I sit normally; I often don't close my eyes.
Oh I see - thanks for the warning!
The kit is from Mushbarn in Grass Valley, CA. We picked it up while we there for a visit. https://mushbarn.com/products/new-mushroom-grow-kit-blue-oyster
Eat them, and grow another batch!
Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack! 
Our decisions are heavily influenced by emotion. We have the sense of empathy, which is an adaptation that makes communal living work. Empathy motivates us to do things for other people sometimes. You can say, "you do helpful things to satisfy your own emotional needs." But that's pretty much saying, "you do helpful things because you want to." I think self-interest is a big factor in how we act, but I don't think it's the only factor.
Hospitals are required to provide emergency treatment - what we call ED or ER visits - regardless of ability to pay. Patients are expected to pay for that treatment. It's just that the hospital isn't supposed to deny treatment based on whether they think patients will or won't pay the bill. This is getting-stabilized treatment.
This is an important point in arguing for universal healthcare: if people can't afford treatment, they're more likely to go to the ED where they won't be turned away. ED visits tend to cost more than non-emergency, so that drives costs up.
