I think I've become motivated to start growing 'shrooms. I'm already using 500mg of Lion's Mane in my micro-dosing caps with 50mg Penis Envy and 100mg Vit. B3. But I'm not taking them very often and the 100g jar of powdered LM was almost $50. I wanna be eating lots of these. My birth mother died of dementia so why not get ahead of that. She was diagnosed at 65 and dead at 75. I'm 68 so if it's in the genes I'm in the zone.

In decades to come they may be able extend life spans for people and animals while also extending youth and vitality. Naturally the wealthy will want it and it will have serious social implications. Eventually if we keep our global technological culture we will have population problems, not too many people, not enough people will be the issue. Extending life spans and other technologies could be a way around this, but it's hard to beat nature for durability and adaptability. Nature is cruel to individuals but kind to species, this technological approach is the opposite, kind to individuals, but not good for the species.

Top quality click-bait IMO. Never trying to sell me anything and I always learn more than one new thing every day. Whether I retain it the next day is moot but interesting stuff for the most part.
Hell of a lot less depressing than all the crap coming out of the various news sources click-bait or not.

Turkey cracks down on contractors of quake-struck buildings
Dozens of contractors were detained over the weekend in Turkey, as anger grows over the consequences of the devastating earthquakes and the government vows to take action against construction negligence and flaws.
The country’s vice president, Fuat Oktay, said on Sunday that the government had already identified 131 people as responsible for the collapse of thousands of buildings and the deaths of tens of thousands of people in the 10 quake-struck provinces. He said that 114 of the people had been taken into custody.
“We will follow this up meticulously until the necessary judicial process is concluded, especially for buildings that suffered heavy damage and buildings that caused deaths and injuries,” he said.
The Turkish justice ministry on Saturday ordered authorities in the affected areas to set up “Earthquake Crimes Investigation Departments” and appoint prosecutors to bring criminal charges against anyone connected to poorly constructed buildings that collapsed.
The death toll has climbed to more than 29,000, the Turkish Emergency Coordination Center said on Sunday.
Some 80,278 people were injured in the quakes. At least 218,406 search and rescue personnel were working in the field, according to Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD).
Environment Minister Murat Kurum said that 24,921 buildings across the region had collapsed or were heavily damaged in the quake, based on assessments of more than 170,000 buildings.
Among the contractors arrested is Mehmet Yasar Coskun, the contractor of a 12-story building in Hatay with 250 apartments, once advertised as “a frame from heaven,” which was completely destroyed. He was arrested at the Istanbul airport as he was trying to board a flight to Montenegro. It is believed that some 1,000 people were living in the residence, and most of them are still under the rubble.

Resurfaced videos from 2019 shows Turkish president bragging about builders skirting earthquake construction codes in areas now turned to rubble
Resurfaced videos from 2019 show Turkey's president boasting about granting amnesty for buildings that didn't meet earthquake construction codes, according to local media.
The videos of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are circulating widely in Turkey as the death toll from this month's devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake surpassed 33,000 people.
Erdoğan is seen in the videos speaking on the campaign trail in 2019, boasting of having removed building standards-related headaches for hundreds of thousands of citizens with his amnesty policy.
One stop was in Kahramanmaraş, the recent earthquake's epicenter. There, in 2019, he said: "We have solved the problems of 144,556 Kahramanmaraş citizens with the amnesty," according to local outlet Duvar English.
Erdoğan made similar boasts in campaign stops in the cities of Hatay and Malatya, both also now ravaged by the earthquake, Duvar reported.
In Hatay, he said: "We have solved the problems of 205,000 citizens of Hatay with zoning peace," per a translation by NPR.
Zoning peace is another name for the Turkish amnesty policy which, on payment of a fine, gives retroactive permits to structures built without planning permission, or not up to code. Those standards include fire protection and seismic standards, per Duvar.
The most recent iteration of the policy came in 2018, under Erdoğan's presidency.
Zoning peace is another name for the Turkish amnesty policy which, on payment of a fine, gives retroactive permits to structures built without planning permission, or not up to code. Those standards include fire protection and seismic standards, per Duvar.
Erdoğan has previously acknowledged the role of building standards in the scale of earthquake disasters, tweeting in 2013 that "buildings kill, not earthquakes," per NPR's translation.
The BBC quoted Pelin Pınar Giritlioğlu, head of Istanbul's branch of the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects, as saying that between 70-75,000 buildings in the earthquake zone had benefited from the policy.
Meanwhile, Duvar cited Buğra Gökçe, the deputy secretary general of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, as saying that 294,165 buildings in the affected areas had taken advantage of it.
Nonetheless, opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu placed the blame squarely with the president, saying, per NPR: "If there is one person responsible for this, it is Erdoğan."

I believe he has an election coming this year, he will have to cheat and whip up the losers of his country to keep his office. How will they prosecute those they arrested with those government policies? They will be quietly released and the charges dropped, or railroaded, but the government inspectors have an out. A look at the picture you posted shows the buildings with Rebar in the concrete standing and the ones that have none are rubble piles, I see no rebar sticking out of the rubble piles.Turkey cracks down on contractors of quake-struck buildings
