4 people, 70 miles in 35 minutes. Vertical takeoffs in the works. $8 in fuel costs. Are we finally getting close the what the Jetson’s envisioned 60 years ago?

Since “pour some sugar on me” was still a few years away, what was the most prevalent song? What was your song?

Isn’t the reason that plants invented caffeine in the first place was precisely to ward off pests, particularly arthropods? And it’s just cool as shit that it does other effects to mammals other than killing us?

Don’t you dare try to take away my coffee.

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage! Rage! Against the dying of the light!

You spelled ruin wrong.

Let it motivate you to go vote. You are not alone, even if you live in a deeply red area.

Every person who votes helps tell the story that the majority of this country rejects a crazy person leading our country.

Democracy Dies in Darkness indeed.

I don't visit Twitter, how do I stop hearing about every little toxic bullshit line Elon has to say?

It still bewilders me why we are even having this conversation. The guy tried to overthrow our government. The government of the people, in accordance of our constitution. If that’s not the definition of treason I don’t know what is.

Because it's fore-fathers ya dolt! Do I have to explain everything?

I also appreciated this particular nugget in the article:

While Harris has not personally given birth, neither has any other occupant of the White House.

A modern day Cincinnatus, the Supreme Court just made him a consul and he just chose to go back to being a common man for the good of the republic.

If this plays out, he’ll go down in history books as the man who sacrificed himself to save Democracy.

A general rule is if it has pores instead of gills, you’re probably in the clear.

Except for that one in Europe, that shit will megadeath you.

In all seriousness, the general rule I’ve heard for foraging wild unknown things is:

• cut it open and rub it on your skin, wait an hour, if it gives you a reaction, stop here.
• touch it to your lips, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• touch it to your tongue, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• chew a bit and spit it out, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
• swallow a small amount, wait a few hours, if it gives you discomfort, stop here
• if you’ve made it this far, it’s likely ok, do so at your own risk tolerance

Roots are generally OK, particularly if you have access to double boil them.

For mushrooms:

• pores are generally safer than gills
• don’t eat it if it’s bioluminescent
• don’t eat if it oxidizes quickly when you cut it open
• don’t eat it if it bruises blue or red
• learn how to detect what a bolete is. Boletes are generally safe, unless it breaks one of the rules above
• Slime: Just say no.
• make sure there’s not a mushroom growing on your mushroom. Double the mushroom is not double the fun.
• learn what a destroying angel looks like, even when it’s young. Appreciate it from a distance, but give that fucker 5 feet of space at all times.

I am by no means an expert. I’m just a rando guy from Appalachia with some wild ass Russian buds and we do some funky shit down here. Take everything I say with as much trust as you give to anyone on the Internet.

When in doubt, take it to an expert and even then, consume at your own risk tolerance.
