Given the country's past, they're now so incredibly averse to anything that could even be vaguely construed as criticism of jewish identity and sovereignty (by the Israeli government) that they will bend over backwards to defend all sorts of nonsense.

As a Brit, the analogy I've always enjoyed is that living in Canada vs the USA is like owning a nice apartment above a crack den. Although, I can't speak to the validity of said statement.

I'm one of the unnamed crew of starbase 80, for sure.

Sadly, there are only a few small areas of ancient forest left in my area, but they are so diverse and abundant. They're always a treat to explore.

Ochre brittlegill (Russula ochroleuca), stump puffballs (Lycoperdon / Apioperdon pyriforme), amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina), Common puffballs (Lycoperdon perlatum), clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis), and what I believe to be red cracking bolete (Boletus / Xerocomellus chrysenteron) which are very abundant here. I did find some more wood mushrooms (Agaricus sylvicola) and green cracked brittlegills (Russula virescens), but I didn't take a picture for some reason.

They're Star Treks room of requirement (fuck JK btw), they are whatever size you need them to be

The inconsistent size of Jeffrie's tubes is one of the things I love about the franchise. Sometimes crawl through them, sometimes run. Who fucking knows!

There are definite themes of 'old' or 'ancient bloodlines' making better or stronger men and elves, as arda generally declines in many ways. Look at Númenor and its genetic legacy. It's a short leap for fascists and racists towards blood and racial purity nonsense, and the decline of, or assault on, so called 'Western civilisation' from the 'hordes' of eaterlings and haradrim. It's a narrow minded and surface level view of the literature, but morons aren't exactly known for their media literacy.

It's the 24th century. No-one cured baldness because they're past caring about such nonsense

This was back in early spring. This chonky Queen was looking for a nest in all the crevices at the base of a tree

Agaricus arvensis or campestris. I can never tell horse and field mushrooms apart, but no yellow staining and a pleasant mushroom and mild anise smell. I found several rings. Unfortunately, the maggots beat me to most of them. Also found a fair few meadow puffballs (Lycoperdon pratense) that had unfortunately just started to spore, and some parrot waxcaps (Gliophorus psittacinus) which, whilst edible, are far too small and slimy to bother with.

I did also find either a rather beautiful pure bright white amanita. Either a Destroying angel (Amanita virosa) or white dapperling (Leucoagaricus leucothites), im not knowledgeable enough to tell. Whilst fun to find, it's definitely not one I brought home.

I also came across a few puffballs, that had unfortunately started to spore, and some earthballs

Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two

It's old and folk metal, and I still love it

The 'smart, sexy, emotionally intelligent expert' to 'maniacal space pirate' heel turn was glorious!

Shovel. She's chaotic evil through and through, and I love her. She just wants to murderize and is bored with anything else (except arson). Hearing her maniacally shout "it's fisting time!" and "I'm gonna eat your babies!" Is still making me chuckle into act 3.

Some apple juices contain an ingredient called isinglass which is made from dried fish bladders. And some apples may be waxed with beeswax (from bees) or shellac (from bugs) before being juiced.

It's like reading dystopian sci-fi
