Help! Wedding in 20 mins

So here goes nothing... I'm trying to hopelessly attach this string back to the base of itself where it comes from in my dress.

What knot can I use? With a name i can look up a tutorial.

Thanks so much if anyone replies in time!

Also I tried a half knot with slip recommended by Claude but welp, doesn't seem to stay.

My first mushroom harvest ever!

I was so intrigued by Lion's Mane that I had to try growing it. I bought a fruiting block online and after 11 days it delivered my first mushroom harvest ever! I was initially worried as the block already had started fruiting inside of the bag quite some, but taping down the flap and using elastic bands to keep the air out helped direct the growth to the opening in the front of the bag.

I built a martha tent with automatic CO2 (<1000 ppm) control through a Inkibird CO2 meter running a ventilator, and moisture control (85-95%) through a plain humidifier with sensor.

I know what we'll be eating tonight!

What do you guys think? Have you tried growing Lion's Mane? And how did you prepare it after harvest?

Shower tile nightmare

So as shown in the picture the tile flooring of my bathroom looks pretty horrendous and I hate it. I have tried multiple things (listed below) and followed some youtube 'hacks' or tips but it only seems to get worse and now I'm wondering if i messed up the tiles completely.

I have tried vinegar, first diluted 50/50 in warm water but later pure, i have tried to flood that part of the floor and leave it for more than an hour before scrubbing and rinsing. (And then do you know how everything looks fine when the tile is wet? I was already cheering that it worked... Until it dried up equally spotty).

I have tried scrubbing diluted chlorine to get rid of the orange tone of the grooves because I thought it might be bacteria. It worked a little but mainly for the kit borders and not the grout (small win?)

I have tried scrubbing with Dreft dish soap (Dawn or Fay in some countries) to remove 'soap scum' as per a youtube lady.

I have tried scrubbing with baking soda and leaving it on as a bunch of paste for a while as well, following a youtube hack.

And after all that, it looks like THIS?

Am I doomed? Did I ruin my tiles or something and now it's just over? Can Reddit give me better advice then youtube?
