Tijuana Bibliophile posted:It's certainly a good idea to have a decent amount of respect for the mushrooms, and us who think they know some mushrooms do our best to discourage excess enthusiasm in beginners. That being said, if you go out looking for these This, anyone who can't identify a loving boletus species (which have pores) doesn't know poo poo about mushrooms. But yeah, if you are ever in any doubt at all, do not pick mushrooms to eat. They WILL end you.

Holy poo poo mate if you're thinking about voting for it Yes would probably win by a landslide.... ThomasPaine posted:Well that was certainly my position in the last indyref because we were neck deep in pre Corbyn hopelessness and an independent Scotland couldn't be worse and might gently caress off the right people. Corbyn changes things, and while labour is run by actual left wingers I'd be hesitant to vote for independence until I know how it all plays out ...but we shouldn't speak too soon, the wheel is still in spin.

"It had been 10 years since I’d picked ceps and I thought: these are a bit more ginger-coloured than I remember. I didn’t spot the crucial difference – that they had gills and ceps don’t.” I can't begin to express how triggered this makes me. In fact I think the basic premise kind of undercuts the point of the article, since a reader might come away thinking "this is how stupid you need to be to poison yourself", and not all mushrooms are that helpful. "I went to the store to purchase a cucumber, and only after dinner did I notice that it had teeth." jesus

An accomplished local forager told me that destroying angels are so poisonous that if he sees them when he's out and about he doesn't eat any of the mushrooms he's gathered in that spot - gets rid of the whole lot just to be on the safe side. It might be a bit drastic but it just show the extreme levels of "don't gently caress about with mushrooms" that even experts go to.

BizarroAzrael posted:To revive recurring fast food chat; Wendy's may be launching here. I don't get this at all. Wendy's used to be here. There was one in Oxford St, London and myself and two friends spent many Saturdays from midday until late into the evening there pontificating on life, the universe and everything. We were undergrads so would have been very late 70s / early 80s. marktheando posted:does wendys have a gimmick? what makes it different from the ten million burger places that are a short walk away from me Used to be they did square burgers. Don't know if they still do.

They are insanely anti-worker even by the standards of fast food chains. but they released a lovely dungeons and dragons clone for big epic memes lol

I've got a couple of questions for the various Scots: Would you rather a Scotland independent from a Tory run UK or a Scotland being part of a Corbyn/McDonnell (or successor of equivalent credentials) Labour run UK? Similarly, would you rather a Scotland independent from or part of a Corbyn/McDonnell (or successor of equivalent credentials) Labour run UK? I'm not including being part of a Tory run UK because nobody loving wants that.

It might be a bit drastic but it just show the extreme levels of "don't gently caress about with mushrooms" that even experts go to. That's probably overkill, certainly all experts I've heard agree that mushroom needs to be swallowed to kill you. unless you're soaking in its spores I guess I'd say it's a perfectly fine custom though, since the anguish of having discarded perfectly fine shroom is less than that of worrying that maybe you ate a wrong one. Amatoxin doesn't show symptoms for weeks sometimes

Do we have anyone from Inverness here? I'm thinking of making a significant change in my life and following my dreams of living in the Highlands, curious if any goons can recommend living there. Work would be a concern obviously. Are the English generally welcome up there? I ask that cos my mum lived in North Wales for a bit and wasn't terribly welcome.

Jose posted:extremely loving stupid in the new star trek though quote:Episodes 4 and 5, released on Oct. 8 and 15, revealed that the USS Discovery, the ship that the series revolves around, has an advanced form of transport that allows it to travel anywhere in the universe instantaneously. Unlike all previous Star Trek transport tech, this one uses a biological mechanism, based on mushrooms.  quote:The DASH (Displacement Activated Spore Hub) drive uses mushroom spores as its power source. They've discovered a special fungus whose root system extends "throughout subspace" all over the galaxy. Using spores from this fungus, the ship can jump into subspace (or something like that) and jump out somewhere else in real space, light years away, in a matter of seconds.  quote:Star Trek Discovery's tardigrade is, shall we say, rather different. It looks a bit like the picture shown here, but it's about the size of a large grizzly bear and is incredibly strong and extremely fierce. On the show, they call it a "giant space tardigrade."

There's a prof at UWE, Adam Adamatzky, who is obsessed with using fungi for computing. There's a demo you should be able to find a video of pretty easily using slime mould to solve a shortest path problem in parallel, but he's taken it a lot further. I think he did, or at least designed, a crab based computer too.
