Whether it's overkill/expensive depends on your finances. I say "go for it", since you still might make small batches for experimenting even after you scale up (if you do).
Or, if they seem like something you won't use again, sell them for sats to get another newbie-fermenter started in the craft.
Or, keep one as a trophy to hang above your headboard, with the date, batch, etc written on it. Your spouse will be so pleased with the new decor! 😀😉😜

There are multiple correct answers for this.
When I've introduced people, I've encouraged/recommended mostly:
1. * Be aware of "set and setting". *
Be with friends (not required), in a familiar and safe environment. I like spontaneity, however, it's best to have certain factors "controlled" for your first experiences. For example, if there's someone that you don't trust, you won't want them around. For similar reasons, it's probably best to avoid the general public. Being in nature will always be better than a populated city/town. I can't stand cars in motion when I'm tripping. Trees are much more fun to deal with.
Have "implements of creativity" at the ready. Musical instruments, paints, paper, writing insteuments, etc.
TV/movies usually deadens my trips. I don't grok people that trip, then stare at any type of screen for more than a few minutes. Fractal making software blew my mind, so screens aren't something to avoid, but lean toward abstractness, compared to stories with a plot.
2. Set an intention!
This is important whether you're tripping for fun or therapy. Have a clear intention of what you want out of the experience, and state it out loud as you partake. This has tremendous power, so it might be good to define the day beforehand.
3. Enjoy, observe, and learn!

Union Strikes
My take on unions is that they should be temporary. Solve the problem, then dissolve the union (until next time). Otherwise, the union just becomes another centralized heirarchy of power that is hell-bent on exploiting everyone.
On the topic of strikes: I see them as fear based soft-terrorism. If someone disrespects you (deliberately doesn't deliver what was promised), LEAVE THEM FOREVER! Get them out of your reality.
But ... but ... but ... ... ... I don't care what someone's excuse is to strike, they are too afraid that they are incapable of anything other than sucking corporate cock. They are also afraid that God, ancestors, etc will not support their move to power and independence, so they submit to some asshole instead. It doesn't get much wimpier than that.
Can you imagine saying, "Hey disrespectful person, let me coherce you away from your own freedom so I that I can be a slave with more comfortable shackles!"?
JUST LEAVE. IT WILL TEACH THE GREEDY JERKS A LESSON! What will be corporate jerkwad's move? Hire unskilled labor? They will suffer while the skilled worker expands their horizons, and obtains a greater understanding of self worth.
Instead of begging, they could start walking with confidence of themselves, the divinity within, and the wisdom from beyond.

After moving boxes to our new address yesterday, my car decided to die. Our new residence is 2hrs from our old one. Got a tow, got a loaner vehicle from someone, made it back home by 9PM yesterday, instead of 3PM for a second trip of "plants, rocks, and books"...yes we're crazy, but our priorities are in order.
Anyway, today we frantically packed everything out of the RV (and cleaned tanks, disconnected services, etc) in preparation of the landlord's grand-daughter that is supposed to be bringing a truck with a fifth-wheel hitch.
I get a call from the landlord, "I just talked with [grand daughter], what's the story?" Well, the story was that she was supposed to be arriving any minute.
I guess she "didn't feel like it", so the landlord said he'd arrive with the truck tomorrow morning; the day of our deadline with the county.
Oh, by the way, this message is brought to you by FUCK THE STATE, Inc. Now back to our not-so-scheduled story.
I hear his wife yelling at him in the background, "No! We are getting them right now!" He protested that it was late, and he was tired, but I heard more yelling in the background, and he confirmed that he would arrive in three hours.
A few hours later, I get a voice message, "We're half way there, but found out the tags are expired and there's no insurance. I'm not going to jail again, so we're turning around!" I hear more yelling from his wife in the background, something about picking us up anyway. We have no clue what's going at this point. Then we confirmed that they are NOT coming, and are headed back.
Our home is empty, and no longer has plumbing to the outside world. Everything is sealed in boxes and packed in the loaner vehicle. Nothing else to do except make another trip of plants, rocks, but this time tools instead of books (aside from car fixing tools, which I should have had yesterday when my car died).
On the schedule: rent a car, print a trip permit, follow our home to its new place, get it level and chocked, return the loaner car, hook up sewage, electric, and water, prepare for car repairs after work so we can ditch the rental, sleep, work, buy parts and perform repair, while still moving more and more plants and rocks.
Being so fortunate isn't easy, but it's a blast!

Mega corporations took over the studios in the late 80's. They found that the largest demographic of movie-goers were 15 year old males. They started making movies ONLY for that demogrphic. This is why indie films had a splash in the later 90's. Adults were starved for a movie that exhibited anything above sophmoric drivel.

I've had several past-life regressions, some of them spontaneously. One of them was in sign language class. There were three signs that triggered memories.
The first memory made no sense, as I had no other context. The second sign triggered new memories, but had the context of the previous one. By the third "flash of memories", the rest of the story unfolded.

For most software companies is a matter of "Get it out the door now, so we can get paid." Spending the time/resources to optimize code doesn't impress people enough to be part of the sales pitch, so it's ignored unless it brings something to a halt.
When I saw software bloat increasing with hardware performance, I assumed there would be cycles of optimization, but it seems that libraries are used more often, not less, and many libraries are super-bloated.
Rushing products to market is the short win. Being able to craft your product well will attract its own attention.

An "old school" technique is to look at trichrome structure. It starts as a cone that forms a ball on top. The ball collapses, looking like a mushroom cap, and eventually falls off. When most of the trichromes are at the "mushroom looking phase", the plant is ready for harvest.
