    As I’ve said before: if it’s a good meme, I’m posting it. That’s the extent of it. I’m not playing AI sleuth just to make a handful of people happy.

    I generally dislike AI and AI images but it’s getting harder to tell. I don’t have the time or the desire to look deeper into memes I find.

    Comments about AI slop, while valid, are really unoriginal. I invite you to recreate the meme for me of it bothers you that much. Be the change or something… I’ll happily post it with an non-ai image if you leave it in the comments. Otherwise, i’d appreciate it if you refrained from complaining about it due to the repetitive nature of the comments.



  • What would you propose, then?

    We use organic amendments all the time when reclaiming historically mined lands that did not salvage soils.

    Soils take millennia to form, and you’re not going to get fertile soils without either kickstarting the process or waiting.

    Another commentator points out that using arbuscular mychorrizhal fungi is also cheating. Again, how?

    To have a functional soil and not regolith you need the following:

    • An organic matter source - regolith lacks this
    • A moisture retaining media - regolith usually has this but its ability varies widely
    • Enough rooting depth for your desired plants
    • A method to transform organic matter to nutrients - regolith generally lacks this

    Organic matter is your pool of nutrients and microbes and fungi are what mineralize this pool into plant available forms, so saying they are cheating doesnt hold water (like a shitty regolith).

    But I can grow plants in glass beads! Sure you can, but you’re supplying chemical fertilizer to do it and constantly replacing that - so in this case you’re the organic matter pool and the transformation vector.

  • I hadn’t played video games since 2012. My boy got a PS5 for Christmas, and well, we all know how that was going to turn out.

    I’ve been playing it more than he has, after he’s gone to bed, and catching up on a lot of titles I missed.

    Anyway, I got into Minecraft. I didn’t get the appeal until I started playing and now I’m hooked.

    I’ve got a strong drive to explore, in general, and that itch used to be scratched by fieldwork. Now, I do desk work and I’m too busy with kids to actually get out in nature like I used to.

    Minecraft kind of scratches that itch. I get to spelunk, see new stuff, and there’s a non zero chance of getting my ass blown up by creepers. Fun!
