What do you mean by stopped? Do you mean to say we should go to war with them?

So because Iran is an oppressive and religious state they wouldn’t build a nuke?

Its a bad thing for any country to have nukes. Period. Especial a country with such reckless nuclear policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

Israel has nukes. so if you were Iran and Israel had nukes, what would you do? Would you be more or less likely to pursue a nuke?

I don’t want Iran or Israel to have nukes.

The point is one country having a nuke pushes others to have a nuke.

Which direction does Israel move us in when they physically have them now?

Not pro nuclear bombs, not pro Iran, however Iran isn’t the one with the nukes.

Its either everyone gets a bomb or preferably no one does.

If Israel and the US are allowed to have nukes then Iran isn’t allowed to have nukes?

Cant we all just agree to hate cops and move on?

I have similar specs and use pop!_os with no problems. I’ve found it to be great for gaming.

Omg this reminds me of a networking project I was working on recently where I found out my vibe coding friend had pasted his ssh keys into an LLM.

Fascism is the pee in the pool of democracy

Is this the “jerky” that is repeatedly mentioned in the files?

I’ve foraged and consumed many of the species in my region, but I do not forage amanitas or lookalikes for this exact reason. I don’t care how good matsutake is, I’m not consuming that without independent verification. In Italy they have state officials who will check your mushrooms, in the US we have these mushroom AIs that are bound to get someone killed eventually.

I’m in the Northeast US. There is a lot of overlap in species but there are also a lot of differences. I wouldn’t say there is any region in the world that is safer than others. What makes it safe vs dangerous is how much time you spend learning about your region and safe practices.

I forage mushrooms. I think there is both a healthy fear and an overreaction to how dangerous it really is. A novice can forage for something like chicken of the woods because it is an obvious species that has no deadly lookalikes. However there are mushrooms even I still avoid despite knowing exactly what they are because they have poisonous lookalikes.

What’s really surprising is people seem to think foraging plants to be safer despite there being plants with edible lookalikes like poison hemlock that can kill in minutes.

In the end, a little bit of practice, focus, and understanding safety, mushroom foraging, and plant foraging, is actually much less dangerous than one would imagine. Still, if you don’t know what you are doing you should never eat a mushroom or plant that you aren’t 100% certain is what it is. Never munch on a hunch.
