    I had a very similar situation happen to me with a ~12 year old domain; michiganmushrooms.net. The particulars are slightly different than this case, but the totally unhelpful supp…

    One big reason I got out of mushroom farming was a great big mushroom 'factory' was set up not too far from me. They produced literal tons more than we could have ever dreamed, at …

    They were a hot seller for us, but they had some notable downsides compared to other oyster varieties. Their self life in particular is quite short, and they tended to bruise black…

    Michigan already has a pretty great environment for agriculture. I used to always hear we were second only to California in terms of output. If current climate disruptions continue…

    I had a mushroom farm in Northern Michigan some years ago and we grew Golden Oysters, among other species. I think our winters are too cold for them to really establish themselves,…

    I think a big part is the name. Like we are the sheep for the shearing.

    Years ago I ran an ecommerce site for gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. We certainly had nothing to do with illegal mushrooms, but I liberally sprinkled the word 'magic' where ever …

    Be thoughtful when retiring old domain names

    This is a bit of a sob story, and I’m mainly posting hoping for some advice or assistance, but even if my situation is hopeless, maybe sharing the experience can prevent something …

    True enough. I had been pretty well established in my little niche too.

    Well it was partly my fault for letting a seperate domain expire: someone grabbed it up and started an email with my old address. That old email was the contact for the stolen doma…

    Feel for the guy. I had a couple of long owned domains stolen recently. They were so low value to anyone but me though, it makes me wonder why someone would bother.

    I've dabbled in digital production since the late 90s and the state of the art is very impressive now compared to back then. U-he in particular really made some fine products, but …

    Just to be contrarian: 'Alone Together' and 'You and the Night and the Music' by Dietz and Schwartz, as well as 'Yesterdays' by Jerome Kern, feature similar harmony, just to name a…

    The article suggests this is unique to opera, and classical music in general has not suffered as badly. I ran across this very interesting discussion today arguing that concert pia…

    I feel like I might have a few million dollar prompts in me. Are they so desperate for people to use this service they must incentivize like this?

    I'm not really a Sonny Rollins 'completest'. The biography I mentioned above has a special place in my personal library; something I expect to revist or lend to a friend. This new …

    I'm a huge Sonny Rollins fan, but admit I'll probably just check this one out at the library. His 2022 biography 'Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins' is really…
