    Stomach acid is meant to kill anything, whether it’s a pathogen or beneficial probiotic. Yogurt’s probiotics shouldn’t survive the stomach if all is going well.

    I had severe gut dysfunction due to multiple parasites and pathogens from spending a year in India. I had dysbiosis, IBS-C and SIBO all diagnosed, and for five years I developed a debilitating autoimmune condition that made eating nearly impossible without intense systemic inflammation, brain fog, body pain, etc.

    In addition to multiple pill based probiotics I did literally every home fermentation project I could figure out; kraut, kimchi, yogurt, kefir, etc. None of them helped one bit. I eventually took a double capsule probiotic designed to survive the stomach intact and open in the small intestine and my symptoms were mostly resolved within a week.

    I wish this was more common knowledge. We are just starting to understand how crucial gut health is to overall health, including mental health, and basically everyone gets their gut biome carpet bombed with antibiotics on the regular.

    Thanks. Just set it up on one of my computers. I’ll be doing the rest as time allows. There’s a lot I love about it already, familiar but with better defaults, and including search engines like SearXNG. I hope enough of us can switch and send a message to Mozilla, though that feels very unlikely to stop the enshittification.

    Yes, and the intergenerational trauma goes back to time immemorial. Healing my own trauma has made me recognize how absolutely ubiquitous it is. I feel called to do what I can to help shift things for others, seems to me to be the thing this world needs most.

    It’s both that they’re the color of cooked lobster, and they have a mild seafood flavor like lobster. They even smell pleasantly and mildly of seafood!

    I love your posts and always get excited when I see a new one. Interesting, funny, irreverent, and just right up my alley in every way. I’ve bought a couple Ganzo knives based on your reviews, so thanks for that too! I’m curious what some of your favorite knives are from a quality/price ratio, and what your most used knives are.

  • My first time finding lobster mushrooms! A nice patch of them was on a path I walk several times a week. I picked the biggest ones and left some smaller ones that are still growing. I plan on checking back in a couple days. I learned today that lobster mushrooms are actually a parasitic fungus! Anyone have any recipe suggestions? ![a bowl of bright orange lobster mushrooms on a scale showing 634g](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/af84fb2f-ed70-43a5-a6e9-4344cbe9adc9.jpeg)

    I’ve been wanting a cosy rpg or action rpg that’s easy to pick up and play in shorter steam deck bursts. This looks perfect! I’m open to any other suggestions people may have.

    I don’t see an issue for it in GitHub but man I’d love a split screen version of the app, posts in a column on the left and a viewport for content and comments on the right. Keep up the amazing work! Thank you!

Over the last couple of years I’ve arrived at something we are all really happy with. I’ll try my best to transmit what I’ve learned via this recipe. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. - 100% bread flour - 60% rye starter (1:1 course ground rye:water) - 66% water - 3% salt Final hydration 74% Example for one oval banneton: - 500g bread flour - 300g starter (150g water 150g course ground rye) - 333g water - 15g salt (preferably grey sea salt like Celtic) Mix water, flour, and starter until fully hydrated. Sprinkle salt on top. Wait 1-2 hours for autolyse and hydration. Stretch and fold once every 30 min - 1 hour, at least 3 times and up to 5. Bulk ferment 2 more hours. Sprinkle liberally with rice flour, liberate from bowl with a plastic scraper, place rice flour side down in banneton, pinch top to stretch surface touching banneton, sprinkle rice flour on top. Cover. Proof two hours or until banneton is filled. Refrigerate 12 hours to 3 days, longer if more sour flavor is desired. Preheat baking stone to 500°f / 260°c with a pan for water on a rack below the stone. Liberate the bread onto a peel and score as desired. Place on stone and put a couple handfuls of ice cubes on the heated pan. Reduce temperature to 444° / 230°c and bake for 36 minutes.
