Great minds, as they say! 😁 Once you read one of those, send me a message and let me know how you like it!
I highly recommend anything by Becky Chambers. Her Monk and Robot series is the definition of cozy fiction and the space series is also very low stakes, but engaging. I would also recommend the fantasy books, Legends and Lattés, about an orc who stops adventuring to open a coffee shop, and the prequel, Bookshops and Bonedust, which should actually be read after Legends.
Thanks for this! This is how I’m going to refer to the reddit incident from now on!
Wow! Thanks for this! I really enjoyed it!
I believe this is the inside of an industrial, water-tube boiler. Like where it is being manufactured. If you look in the upper left, you can see tubes to be welded in. It isn’t a perfect match, but those openings in the pipes look like where blowdown piping would go in. Source, I designed piping systems for these.
Edit: If you click on the small images on this page you can see a lot of piping that looks just like this: https://balcke-duerr.com/en/service-solutions/boiler-projects-services/
That said, it is really difficult to get a sense of scale here and this could be some much smaller heat transfer device that just uses the same design.
I haven’t started to DIY yet, but after reading Becky Chambers’ book, A Psalm for the Wild Built, I started researching mycelium building construction materials and am now several days down a rabbit hole of learning the pros and cons of various mushroom and substrate types. Will I do anything with it? No idea, but it is cool and provides buildings that will last if the natural, casein waterproofing is maintained, but will decompose quickly once abandoned or demolished and actually feed the ecosystem.
Angry upvote.
It totally would have been clear, had I paid attention to where things came from in my main feed. I’ll be more careful in the future and I hope I didn’t cause any offense.
I do apologize for my miss-reading of the question! Feel free to delete my response since it has nothing at all to do with the question asked. Or I can if you would prefer.

… I think there might be a pattern developing.
Is it federated and open source? If not, I’ll pass.
