I'm too lazy to find an official source but grindset landlords are cheering because getting loans for "Multi Family Units" no longer requires 15-25% down and you can now buy with only 5% down so therefore housing demand will explode and their rents will increase or something because this couldn't ever end poorly or be a bad idea. PROPERTY IS EASIER TO BUY THAN EVER. https://x.com/richarjotravels/status/1709995269780099085?s=20 Rectal Death Adept has issued a correction as of 01:31 on Oct 6, 2023 |

apatite posted:also would like to hear more from the oyster mushroom goon about balcony shrooms We buy culture from a mushroom farm (but before we found out about that, bought it online). It comes preloaded in syringes. Fill grow bags with substrate (~50% soy hulls or oatmeal or whatever grain and ~50% wood shavings), put them in a pressure cooker to sterilize. The grain or soy hulls or w/e are helpful to give a more nitrogen rich substrate initially. The grow bags have a self-sealing charging port that you use to inoculate the substrate with culture. We've also had some success just using jars with holes in the lid and various filters or charging ports glued on, but at the end of the day grow bags are very cheap and its easier to pack more of them into the pressure cooker. After the mycelium colonizes the substrate, it gets transferred to some old cat litter boxes that we drilled holes into, and which are filled with wood shavings. These just get kept on the balcony covered loosely by a tarp suspended by some wire frame. A small fan is used to adjust ventilation and maintain a certain humidity level. Soon mushrooms come out of the holes. We get about 2-3 flushes per kitty litter box, and have like 6 boxes going at a time. The recurring costs are almost entirely dependent on the price of culture, and how little of it you can use per grow bag. Less culture = lower cost per mushroom but more time for the mycelium to colonize the substrate and, most importantly, greater risk that any contaminant will outcompete the mycelium and ruin the batch. If you can get a good, sterile procedure down and avoid contamination, it is pretty cost effective. The dream is to just generate the culture ourselves, but that's a bit more involved. Gonna give it a go later this year. Whether any of this is applicable to Other Mushrooms is left as an exercise for the reader.

if i want to buy chicken i have to eat all of the chicken in like 3 days and the smallest amount of chicken is basically too much for me. i imagine for people of similar weight to me they encounter the same problem if i had another person to cook for it would be different, but basically its hard not to waste groceries at the scale i eat at. so i just buy fruit/veggies/snacks and then eat out like every 3-4 days. i get like 2-3 days worth of calories eating out for like 25-30 bucks so its not really that expensive for me the math definitely changes the more people you have and cooking becomes more economical at that scale.

Willa Rogers posted:where do you live where you can't buy cut-up chicken pieces to cook and/or to freeze? its everything in sum. portland is definitely a weird area though because takeout is pretty cheap and groceries are mega expensive. new york can be the same way. so if i want a chicken sandwich, its about 2ish dollars for a half pound of chicken. bread is like anywhere between 3.50-8 bucks where i live. tomato costs more. lettuce costs more. pickles cost a fortune. oil and/or mayo costs more. im paying around 8-10 bucks for the chicken sandwich in total, which is basically the same price as several chicken sandwiches here and now i have to make sure i eat all the lettuce and all the tomato, things i dont really eat much of. i need fruit and vegetables no matter what im doing so i just buy those. i bought a turkey sandwich that cost me like 12 bucks today. it was an entire days worth of calories for me. buying the same amount of turkey on the sandwich would cost me 8-12 bucks if they were cold cuts. thats just for the meat. its more economical for variety and have zero waste that way. a weeks worth of groceries costs me about 90 dollars if i dont waste anything. eating out for an avg of 12 dollars per day worth of food evens out to about the same amount. its not super cheaper, but comparing my budgets they end up extremely close and the food ends up being much better so v  vi used to live off food stamps for 2 people and that was so much easier (when food stamps could actually buy food). there was no waste because that same tomato or lettuce gets entirely used by the end of the week with moderate meal planning. its the living solo + my low caloric intake that really fucks with the formula.

Pobrecito posted:i spent a bunch of time in spain earlier this year and was blown away by how cheap the food routinely was. you can go to a cafe virtually anywhere and get a nice cup of freshly brewed coffee and some kind of freshly baked pastry or a big chunk of tortilla for like 2.5 euros. the same coffee of equivalent quality anywhere here is like $4 minimum and the pastry $3-4 my dad is visiting from England and I spent all day talking about this in England you take £5 and go to buy some fruit because your granddaughter is visiting. banana bunch - £1.20 strawberries - £1.50 4 oranges - £1.20 4 apples - £1.00 and you’ve got your fruit snacks for the next couple days whereas in America strawberries cost $4.50 so that’s about it for her

Morbus posted:[awesome stuff] This is real cool, thanks! You can def do it with Other Mushrooms, but when I tried as a teenager in a cold disgusting basement they indeed got contaminated before full colonization. These days I let someone else deal with that poo poo and then they just give me some. We do know someone that grew a huge amount and variety of edible mushrooms commercially for a while and it sounds similar to what you are doing with bags, etc. Rock on, balcony oyster mushroom goon

I am willing to accept that some places are very bizarre, but it's basically impossible to get takeout that's anywhere near cost-competitive with home cooking here. We're a little spendy with our cooking because we like trying different things and our fanciest recipes are still in the 1/4 to 1/2 price range compared to takeout meals. Regular weeknight/lunch stuff is so cheap that I can't even really make the comparison, but we do tend to do batch cooking and meal prep for that stuff so it works out to not very much per serving. I think about the closest I could possibly come is something like a McDonald's breakfast sandwich with coupons because, yeah, a bacon, egg, and cheese would probably get me pretty close to two bucks in ingredients. Good breakfast sandwiches from places that aren't poo poo are like $8 minimum around me so lol.

And anyway the staple foods that human beings eat on planet earth can all be measured out by cup, are shelf stable, and come in big bags. Anyway do what you want, and certainly eating out or snacking can save time...but I swear these posts come up every now and again and its like bro just cook some rice, throw everything else in a pot and/or oven and eat them together.
