I suspect you could still find someone via the Pingpod slack, but another option would be to book a coach and play with them - they have multiple former olympians
I think it is more than 5 years on average. Here is the answer to prompt from Meta.ai below:
Unit 8200 is an elite intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the length of service for new recruits can vary depending on their role and position.
Typically, new recruits in Unit 8200 serve for a minimum of 4-5 years, but some may serve longer depending on their specialization and the needs of the unit. Some roles may require even longer service commitments, up to 6-8 years or more.
It's worth noting that Unit 820psilon is considered one of the most prestigious and competitive units in the IDF, and service there is highly sought after by many young Israelis. The unit is responsible for military intelligence gathering, signal intelligence, and cybersecurity, among other things.
I think it's a generational thing. Kissinger should have stopped commenting on world affairs 20 decades ago. It became increasingly oblivious that the world was evolving in a direction he didn't understand or comprehend. He continued to attempt to apply his cold war era world view and solutions to current issues, when it was obvious to most that his ideas where nonsense.
An example: His idea that Ukraine should give up territory to please Russia made it clear that he don't understand modern Russia or Putin. It's not a conflict in which he has no relevant experience or any deep insight, yet he felt the need to use his influence to present his poorly thought out idea.
Had he stepped back from the public 20 years ago, then may the majority of at least Americans would have remembered him as a great statesman, but he need to be heard and saying stupid shit has made people more aware of his past and his terrible actions.
> His idea that Ukraine should give up territory to please Russia made it clear that he don't understand modern Russia or Putin. It's not a conflict in which he has no relevant experience or any deep insight, yet he felt the need to use his influence to present his poorly thought out idea.
And yet it is exactly this behind the scenes that Ukraine European backers are pushing Zelensky to do. When it is clear that the war is a quagmire and Ukraine is underperforming.
On first blush, it seems like this is more in the line of Nextdoor, neighbors helping neighbors, but with some money changing hands. I'd go in that direction.

As an active mushroom hunter (born in Russia), can confirm that this is extremely unlikely and uncommon. People who have done this since birth know how distinguish between mushrooms, and usually stick to the variety that they love the best. In Russia, the mushroom of choice is the "White Mushroom" (or Porcini, King Bolete) or Rejik (Milky cap) and Chanterreles, and a few others, and that's it, with the top 2 being the most sought after.
I've been doing this for over 35 years, and always go after the same mushrooms, and have never been poisoned. So, very unlikely someone much older would make a mistake, sounds like foul play.
This article[1] from 20 years a ago paints a different picture.
> Russians Dying--Literally--for Favorite Fungi
> Like most Russians, Sergei Kayava and his family considered themselves mushroom experts--but the assumption proved fatal.
> On July 8, he and his family eagerly dished up helpings of buttery fried forest mushrooms prepared by his mother-in-law.
> “She is very good at cooking mushrooms. She boiled them and then fried them and then served them with boiled potatoes. It was delicious,” Kayava recalled Saturday.
> But the dish killed Kayava’s wife, Marina, 40, and her father. Collecting mushrooms earlier that day, Kayava’s in-laws mistook the deadly blednaya poganka, or pale toadstool, for the innocuous and tasty syroyezhki mushroom.
...
> The mushroom season has just begun and lasts until late September, but already at least 95 people have died in Russia and Ukraine, a casualty figure much higher than normal for this time of year.
So although this seem unlikely that the top Russian rocket scientist died from mushroom poisoning it isn't out of the question or that ridiculous.
Amanita Phalloides is the only one I know of you can easily die from (others are possible, but harder to overdose or need some other preconditions), but it is also one that you can easily mistake for some Agarici (Agaricūs?).
I know of a case where someone ate conserved ones (thought it's Agaricus) way after they were collected and actually survived, but only barely with a liver transplant if I remember correctly. Because the reaction is hours delayed it's also not easy to find out the cause for your bad state.
