dont forage mushrooms unless you're absolutely sure about what you're doing!!!!

A while back some scientists picked up a packet of mushrooms at a supermarket, DNA tested them, and discovered three new species.

Now imagine if one of those looked identical to eating mushrooms, but was poisonous... :stare:

Given how the results of consuming seemingly identical mushrooms can be wildly unpredictable, I am surprised humanity has survived thus far. 🍄

Since I'm on a mushroom roll, here's another bonkers mushroom story... Mushrooms can survive (and thrive!) in a wide range of environments, including inside one guys bloodstream after he decided to inject himself with magic mushroom tea. :stonk:

Uranium found in soldier's room at Sydney's Holsworthy barracks

Military personnel have removed "potentially hazardous" uranium discovered after a raid on a soldier's bedroom in Sydney, but Defence is declining to confirm other details of the recent incident at Holsworthy Barracks.

The ABC can reveal a "small amount" of uranium ore and a Geiger counter were secured and contained by members of the Special Operations Engineer Regiment (SOER), before being taken away from the army base.

Sappers from the SOER often specialise and train in counter-chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives (CBRNE) response activity.

Army sources have confirmed the radiological material was purchased by the defence force member legally online, but it's unclear whether he will face disciplinary action for storing the substance inside military accommodation quarters.

The soldier who bought the uranium and Geiger counter is believed to be a member of a Signals Squadron, with other ADF personnel at Holsworthy now jokingly dubbing him "Uranium Sig".

An army figure based at Holsworthy, who spoke to the ABC on the condition of anonymity, said it was strange that police officers who also patrol the Sydney military base were not involved in the emergency response.

"No-one really knows why the uranium was purchased or where it came from, but it's certainly caused a bit of a stir on base," the soldier said.

In a statement, defence confirmed it had "secured, contained and removed potentially hazardous material from Holsworthy Barracks", and insisted "the material is not related to army equipment or activities".

Australia's only nuclear reactor, located in the southern Sydney suburb of Lucas Heights, is less than a 20-minute drive from Holsworthy Barracks.

Already, the incident has prompted satirical memes featuring the so-called "Uranium Sig", which have been published on unofficial ADF web pages.

Woolworths not content with gouging during a cost-of-living crisis they have to turn to wage theft too. Should have jailed that CEO for contempt when they had the chance.

:australia:

Edit: Also, lets stop calling wage-theft "underpaying". If someone walked out of a shop with stolen goods it wouldn't be considered as "underpaying" so gently caress these thieving businesses.

Why would you buy inert uranium and stash it under an army bunk?

Also I had an interesting conversation with someone who's working on the currently developing indigenous knowledge treaty and asked them what happens after the patent for a secret familial knowledge that's been passed down for like a few thousand years might get passed to Pfizer for community funding or just straight up cash? 25 years and it's public domain? Could that be rescinded by an heir to this secret familial knowledge? Do they have a right to it? Are pharmaceutical companies being scared of having their poo poo taken back or traditional owners having their poo poo stolen a bigger concern for this market?

Turns out they have no fuckin' idea and they told me that that its gonna be a pain in the rear end for years to hammer out
