Lions mane and chicken of the woods. Grill em, hit em with some garlic butter and lemon pepper. Pretty dang good imo.

I still remember when I met a pilot who majored in geology. I asked him “you know the irony in that right?” He says “yep. But hey at least I can tell you about the mountain we’re about to crash into.”

Industrial diamonds have always been on the cheap and that industry is far removed from the jewelry/gem industry, in fact a large majority of diamonds that are mined aren’t gem grade, they’re industrial grade. It’s been growing and advancing despite the jewelry/gem market starting to fall.

Also because newer generations just aren’t sold on diamonds being a luxury item anymore. Your average Joe just isn’t paying their rent or more on a diamond engagement/wedding ring like they used to because, well, that’s their rent payment or mortgage for something that’s gonna lose value the second they walk out of the store.

God… Imagine being in the middle of an important call for say discussing family affairs for a dying family member and you just hear “there will be a 30 second advertisement break in 1 minute.”… I’d probably pop a blood vessel.

I guess I should elaborate. I look at more than just what’s on the site. I’ll actually go around and look for 3rd party reviews and such. It’s not fool proof but I’ve had a much better buying experience since I’ve started doing that.

I look at reviews more than I look at advertising. On top of that I look at negative reviews. Most negative reviews usually have pros and cons listed or will actually go into depth about the product and it’s shortcomings unlike most positive reviews that just say “it’s great!”

Thankfully I can just filter their email address straight into the garbage bin but it’s still ridiculous.

With the advent of the internet and a bit of sailing the high seas it wasn’t hard to get a hold of em anyway.
