Yeah there's really no reason not to vote it down if you're a lab MP. Vote it down and we get an election, done.

Unless you're a hard 'no deal' MP, there's no reason for anyone not to vote it down. This is nothing more than no deal with a 14 month delay. It's shockingly, incredibly bad.

It's the least deal that can be called a deal that anyone could stand up and lie about.

It's so bad it's actually questionable if the EU will agree to it because of the lack of protection for EU citizens in the UK after it passes.

Might go through on rebel support, and the worst part is there's no way to stop it if they're leaving the party anyway after Brexit for some sinecure with a Tory think tank or whatever; no way of holding them personally accountable.

I very much hope this doesn't happen.

No, if it goes through we'll have an election soon, before any of the bad effects of Brexit happen, and Johnson will be coasting as the guy that got Brexit 'done'.

It'll be a very hard election.

We'll still be sending money to the EU and settling the 'divorce bill', and there'll still be foreign people and Muslims, so BXP might take a few off the Tories running on treason deal traitor surrender.

Plants in general tend to be horribly poisonous a lot of the time as well - making sure that anything that tries to eat you dies horribly is a great defence mechanism when you can't move at all. What's unusual is that fungi tend to have some very interesting mechanisms of action when it comes to being poisonous as because they're a different kingdom of life, they have some very different biochemistry. (For instance, the amatoxins destroy the ability of RNA polymerase to work - EXCEPT for fungal an bacterial RNA polymerase.)

Nothing beats paxillus involutus for sheer horror though - it can suddenly make you allergic to your own blood.

ehhh maybe. but mushrooms do have access to compounds that makes mammals acutely ill or taste awful, so i think there'd be less direct evolutionary benefit to "killing you in two weeks by liver failure and leaving you(r survivors) without any clear means to figuring what caused it" or "causing oversentisation with repeated ingestion". I'm sure these toxins are meant to gently caress predators sure, but I'd be inclined to believe insects or slugs ore such are the intended victims and might react differently

Because the arithmetic as it stands is extremely tight, and it'll only take a few Labour rebels to get it through - and the noises quite a few Labour MPs in Leave-voting constituencies have been making mean that they're likely going to vote for it.

Cassava/manioc/yuca is an amazing plant that has sustained civilisations for thousands of years. The cyanide thing is always trotted out as cassava = bad but it's actually very very good in a tropical environment. Keeps other things (not people) from eating your crop while it's safely stored underground. In fact, the most poisonous ("bitter") varieties were selected for first in its history of domestication, "sweet" non-poisonous varieties emerged much, much later.

Here's a post from one of my facebook mushroom groups

quote:

Hello mushroom experts!

Now that the season for it is nearing its end, I would like to query your confidence in your fellow human's fungal competence!

If served mushroom soup, e.g made from foraged mixed mushrooms, by a recent acquaintance (first visit to the in-laws, ambitious lady invites you after the first crochet lesson etc.), do you down it without hesitation? Or, would you first seek to discretely interrogate said person's competence? Perhaps you'd happen to be full right then?

At the restaurant, would it need to be an upscale establishment for you to order the mushroom omelet? :)

a very good question imo. lemme tell you though things get hot there at times
