# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Nov 4, 2016)

The log was primarily connection/disconnection messages with minimal substantive discussion. The few notable points were:

* A brief discussion about microbiology resources occurred, with one user asking for recommendations on books to learn microbiology concepts, mentioning Elsevier's "Methods in Microbiology" series, while another user suggested that reading through all those volumes might not be efficient.

* Someone recommended "Wild Fermentation" (http://www.wildfermentation.com/) as a resource for fermentation techniques, which prompted another user to mention their sourdough starter culture.

* A technical discussion about fabrication methods took place, with one user clarifying that a part was intended for photolithography and/or CNC via FIB (Focused Ion Beam) rather than 3D printing.

* A user suggested that people receiving social security benefits should do "mandatory memoir recordings," though this idea wasn't developed further in the conversation.

* There was a brief exchange about mecha designs from anime and manga, with mentions of "Genocyber," "Armored Trooper Votoms," and "Knights of Sidonia" as notable examples, though the purpose of the inquiry wasn't clear.
