The dogs not alone. It has the robot. The robot could let you peer in remotely and say hi. The robot could comfort your dog for you while you’re away. The robot is there for your dog while you can’t be. The robot could 3D print dog friendly toys for it and feed it too.

A fun thing I’ve been putting together is growing Oyster mushrooms on wood. There’s actually a lot that goes into getting it to work. The mycelium has to fully inhabit the log before it can produce fruit. That can take 6-12 months. That, and the log has to stay very moist so you have to soak it for awhile before you can put the plugs of mycelium into the wood. Then you seal it with a wax and water it every couple of days. Apparently, a single piece of wood can fruit multiple times.

These kinds of local ordinances are the same reason my partner and I don’t just rip up our entire front lawn and replace it with native wildflowers and vegetables. Our backyard has walking paths of cut grass and is otherwise vegetable plot and flower prairies.

The U.S. laws and norms that enforce cut lawns are crazy to us. They are biological wastelands.
