A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

One of the people I dated once confused wild onions with Death Camas in her omelets. She and her father got extremely sick and at least one got admitted to the hospital. Luckily, nobody died. Luckily, death Camas aren't as toxic as some mushrooms. I wouldn't dick with mushrooms even if I had an ID book, though.
The stakes just aren't worth it. I had a book on mushrooms as a kid, and after reading it cover to cover, I decided it just wasn't worth the risk of misidentification. Many look similar, and the edible-looking ones are sometimes quite toxic.
