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.

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.

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.

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.

I think they just either didn't know what to do with Alexander or just didn't care to, but worf also basically adopted another kid and totally forgot them too. Anyway, character flaws are fine. Admittedly Worf has a few, and this one is a doozy, but he's not some monolithically 'good' person and is a more rounded and interesting character for it.
