LOL this is approaching 30 years old now. Old trance is still good trance.. sounds good no matter what. (relatively speaking) default flstudio 21 samples 808 and some generic and modified GMS.
This is just me plopping out some sound.
start more than ten tomato 🍅 plants with one tomato
Just squeeze the seeds out onto a paper towel let dry tear up the paper towel and plant one paper seed peice per planter or deed starter etc. It is that easy! Some water may need apply...
Flat stones vs round stone facings, style or utility?
One thing you can notice in sites, and the building period is how stone structures were built to either apepar as rough stone or dressed stone faces. This is an example of a building with rough stone.
Larger buildings such as the Kings Buildings, or arcopolis etc.. have worked stone while area that appear as living areas tend to use the unworked stones.
Take a look at other videos stone facings, this is a detail that is easily noticable if you visit historic mayan settlements in the difference between buildings that had a lot more work put into them by facing stones, and at times these facings were done so that it would hold stucco or art or iconagraphy.

"Decoding Mayan Stone Work: Unveiling the Secrets of Ceremonial and Residential Buildings"
Summary:
Discover the captivating world of Mayan stone work and unravel the intriguing contrast between the meticulously crafted stone facings adorning ceremonial structures and the rugged charm of unworked rough stones found in residential buildings. In this fascinating video, we delve into the materials, techniques, and time required to create these distinct architectural features.
The Mayans, renowned for their advanced civilization, employed a meticulous approach to constructing ceremonial buildings. These structures boasted meticulously crafted stone facings, showcasing the mastery of their stone masons. Pristine limestone blocks were meticulously shaped and intricately placed, resulting in awe-inspiring architectural marvels.
Residential areas, on the other hand, presented a different aesthetic. Unworked rough stones were used, reflecting a practical yet aesthetically pleasing approach. This technique offered structural stability while preserving the natural beauty of the stone. The irregular shapes and textures of these stones added a unique charm to the residential buildings.
Crafting a facing stone to perfection was a labor-intensive process. Skilled artisans meticulously chiseled and smoothed the limestone blocks, dedicating hours to each stone. The aim was to achieve a flawless surface, ensuring a visually striking appearance. This intricate process required considerable time and patience.
In contrast, using unworked rough stone was a more efficient method. The stones were gathered and placed without extensive shaping, reducing the time required for construction. This approach allowed for swift completion of residential buildings, meeting the demands of growing Mayan communities.
Understanding the distinction between ceremonial and residential architecture offers invaluable insights into Mayan society and culture. The precision and attention to detail dedicated to ceremonial structures highlight their importance in religious and cultural practices. Meanwhile, the practicality and resourcefulness seen in residential buildings emphasize the adaptability and ingenuity of the Mayan civilization.
Join us as we embark on a captivating journey through Mayan stone work, exploring the meticulous craftsmanship of ceremonial buildings and the rustic allure of residential structures. Unearth the secrets of the Mayan civilization and gain a newfound appreciation for the remarkable architectural heritage they left behind.

Pib? Storage Pit, Fire Pit? I think they had a Píib in their kitchen.
This area appeared like a food processing area, not sure what this pit area was. I was thinking fire pit or perhaps it was filled in.
Píib
Pib (in Spanish) or píib (in Yucatec Mayan; in both cases pronounced as peeb), is a typical earth oven of the Yucatán peninsula, in Mexico. This technique probably has a pre-Hispanic origin.[1] It consists of digging a hole, lighting a stove with firewood and stones, and cooking the food (traditionally pork or chicken) over low heat, all covered with more soil.[2] Today, many people in Mexico believe that "pib" refers to tamales cooked in the earth oven (called chachak waaj in Mayan) and not to the oven itself; This confusion is quite widespread.[3][4]
A piib oven can feed up to forty people, so it is typical to prepare it during local festivities. For example, in Kantunilkín, the municipal seat of Lázaro Cárdenas, the piib is prepared for December 8, the day of the Immaculate Conception, the patron saint of the town.[5] Relleno negro is also made for Hanal Pixan, as well as torteado or vaporcito tamales.
Etymology
In Yucatán it is mostly known as pib, or píib according to the current Mayan spelling promoted by the Academy of the Mayan Language [es].[6] In some contexts also pii'. The plural is formed as píibo'ob, not "pibs", and the verb is formed as píibt (translatable as 'to make a piib').[7]
Food cooked in a piib is called pibil. It is mistakenly thought that "pibil" means that they include recado. The suffix -bil indicates participle: pib-bil ('[thing] roasted'), muk-bil ('[thing] buried'), etc.[6] In the Mayan language, it is placed before the name of the food, while in Spanish it is the other way around, for example: the famous cochinita pibil, Mayans call it piibi'k'éek'en.
History
The piib is not explicitly explained in any pre-Hispanic codex, however, experts have come to the conclusion that it is a technique that has already been practiced before colonization. The reasons are various; On the one hand, the earth oven has never been part of the Hispanic tradition, so it could not be brought by the conquerors. On the other hand, the practice of the earth oven extends to other Mesoamerican indigenous peoples.
Other forms of earth ovens are also found in the rest of Mexico, such as the ximbó of Hidalgo, of Otomee origin, or the classic Mexican barbecue. However, nowhere are they as common as in the Yucatán.[8] Earth ovens are practiced by both indigenous and mestizo people.[9] Peasants in Mexico roast the whole lamb, typically on Sundays and holidays.[10]
A 2012 study carried out in Xocén, led by researcher Carmen Salazar from UADY, revealed that traditional piib'ob are prepared with native animals and plants, which suggests a continuity of piib practice dating back to pre-Columbian times.[8] At that time, the earth oven may have been a preservation method, rather than cooking, especially in hunts, which could last several days.[11] Furthermore, the study shows the close relationship between the piib and the kool (Mayan milpa), and that both could have the same age (approximately 3400-3000 BCE).[8] Another indication is in the discovery of bones of animals from a very old time that do not show cutting and fleshing features but do show heat marks, which is consistent with cooking in pib.[12]
In the Palenque site, Chiapas, the word pib can be read written in various hieroglyphs, although not to refer particularly to the oven, but with a related meaning. For example, one of the temples reads: u-pibnahil ("steam bath temple").[6] Pib'naah means "steam bath".[13]
The oldest written record of "pib" is found in the Calepino Maya de Motul (16th century), a dictionary of Mayan terms that defines it as "bath or temazcal in which the women in labor or recently given birth were purified, and the stove in which pumpkins, meats, etc. were roasted under the ground" (noun), and also as "roasted meat, squash, etc. under ground." (verb).[6] In another book of the time, Bocabulario Maya Than, defines it in a similar way.
More currently, one of the main anthropo-culinary studies on contemporary piib was in 2019, led by chef Wilson Alonzo, a researcher on the traditional cuisine of the Mayan ethnic group.[14] This study was carried out in twelve municipalities in Yucatán.
Size and shape
The size of the hole will depend on the amount of food. In addition, the technique of preparing a piib varies from region to region. In the west of the peninsula (Maxcanú, Hopelchén, ...) the ovens have a square shape, approximately 1 m per side. In the east (Valladolid, Tizimín, ...), as well as in the south (Peto, Tekax, ...), rectangular and elongated holes are dug. This is due to the fact that in it, several large pots are arranged in a row, which can be up to a dozen.[15] On the north coast it is possible to find circular ovens. According to the locals, this is due to the strong coastal wind.[11] The depth of the piib varies markedly between a few centimeters to approximately 1 m.

So why did the Yucatan never develop much top soil with so many leaves?
So why did Mexico never develop much top soil with so many leaves?
There is almost no soil but this years leaves seems so extensive? Is this many many years? No soil bacteria? Why so little soil?

Mayan site planning security related also?
You don't often hear about the maya in terms of the security of their building layout. You hear about cosmology, and phases of construction etc.. but rarely due to the Maya rarely building known walled cities, exceptions may be Tulum.

Soviet VDV Canteen mess kit desalination hack concept.
This canteen was designed for the Soviet Navy in the 1960s and eventually was transfered to the VDV paratroopers and some advertise also Spetznatz. My canteen if in the original case was made in 1979 but aside from oxidation and stress all remain more or less the same production from the Leningrad Factory, each piece is stamped or engraved with the KB or like symbol. While this kit is advertised as also allowing distilling desalination no tube or pipe is supplied. It may be that some other kit like a properly sized smoking pipe filled that roll. Since I didn't have any examples other than the crude picture of how to desalinate with it I after reading that a wine bottle cap can fit on it thought I could make a point for a silicone tube by putting a hole in the wine bottle cap. While I could add a rubber wine brewing grommet or cork, I felt this would be the easiest solution. In a pinch it seems a camelpak water tube can be used not only as the distilling tube but also as a straw for drinking liquids through. i even imagine it might hook up to gas masks that have a drinking tube. Note most of these come covered in cosmoline that can be a bit of effort.Also I found copper flange also fits into the canteen and could work with copper pipe. But the silicone tubing was the easiest solution that showed itself note though silicone can melt about 300 degrees so this should be kept from overheating in the fire but it can support a steam producing temperature

Pretty sure this is very old cast, but not sure if it has been treated with tannic acid, I am thinking for its age it must have been treated.

May seem weird till you don't have plumbing and need fertilizer for growing food
Yeah watching belesr independents daily brief and of course he was bringing water out to the sheep maybe carrying 5 gallon water jugs and I am like it's so much easier to just shoulder those things than farmer carry them. And then I though as well throw in a few other comments for how you can reuse them as a backpack internal hard shell and as a urine separator if things go shtf and you need s way of splitting your urine and feces. Poo and p3 actually have a variety of uses we wouldn't think to do if we don't need to. Take for instance daub. it helps to use grass or sawdust etc . To down a stench and fill out the poo but the presence of urine will cause it to ferment and resk so a way of separating liquid and solid waste can be useful. Urine will also seep into the ground out of it is mixed with feces will start to ferment in open air the chemical interaction of feces and urine makes them more noxious. Urine has a variety of other uses especially depending on the type for things like warding or attracting animals. It's also easier to collect urine in a bucket and transfer it to a sealed bottle than peeing into a bottle. Storing urine in a container will allow it to ferment without putting off major odors in it's storage area. If you are sheltering in place without plumbing being able to bag feces and bottle urine helps manage odors but the two don't mix well for storage except in a sealed container. Also if dehydration sets in feces may become drier and easier to store. Nasty I know just some things I think may be useful.

Debt ceiling "crisis" SNAP, veterans, social security, and medicaid, don't panic till after June 4th
As of writing deal still being worked out, here is what I understand. I sort of don't expect for this to be resolved until after memorial day. It's really a question if the GOP will stick to it. Problem here is it is an election year...

Last resort for an ear infection
Alcohol, and sanitizer, maybe even hydrogen peroxide etc.. the bottle might even say it kills 99.9% of germs. In absence of antibiotics this stuff may help as an emergency topical for bacterial infection... Do your own research. Just sharing the tip no pun intended as an analogy because it helped me out recently
