I love the "We'll need some time to consider your offer, thank you for meeting with us" response to the Ogre king being unreasonable. I knew Japanese businessmen have the most polite methods of telling you to fuck off so it was really interesting to have an explanation of the reasoning behind it.
I'm enjoying this series so far, here's hoping it stays focused on effective business strategies and less on Harem nonsense. So far Dennosuke is staying professional and oblivious to Urmander's obvious crush on him which is pretty funny so maybe that will be the running gag.
While the US doesn't have a parliamentary system, it's functionally impossible to win the presidency without a nation-wide party with a presence in multiple states backing you. This is because the president is elected by the states so you need the infrastructure capable of winning a plurality of voters in multiple states which you can test by your party's ability to win senate seats or governorships. Additionally, you would need support of enough members of Congress to actually implement any policy while during your term.
Most third-party presidential candidates in the US are grifters or fools as evidenced by the fact that they'll run for president every year without even attempting to build out party infrastructure, push for alternative voting via citizen ballot initiatives, or win lower positions necessary to actually be successful.
Making third parties viable in the US is possible, but it will take a lot of work. It's far easier to hijack one of the existing parties the way the Tea Party and later, Trump did.
My partner had to eat low FODMAP for a few years but eventually their gut reset and now they can have small to moderate amounts of onions and garlic again. After the onion and garlic, the biggest hurdle to keeping low FODMAP is cutting out high fructose corn syrup because it's in so many packaged foods you wouldn't think about like certain brands of breadcrumbs (Progresso).
My number 1 suggestion is to make your own onion infused olive oil: put a roughly-chopped onion in a pot with a whole bottle of olive oil, warm it up (it should be warm not hot), let it cool, take out the onion pieces, and pour it back in the bottle (store in the fridge to preserve the flavor longer). You can do this for garlic as well but garlic-infused oils are a lot easier to find at the the store (just make sure you get infused oils that don't contain actual bits of garlic or juice, Boyajin was a brand I liked a lot).
I used to make fajitas without onions by using my infused oils in the marinade and upping the amount of bell pepper.
I had the same experience, my doctor told me the home ones are often worthless but insurance companies like to make you try them before approving a sleep lab because it's cheaper.
Stropharia Ambigua is edible but supposedly tastes how it smells: like rotting leaves. There's also some bitter/spicy Russula I've only tasted raw which are supposed to taste pretty awful even after cooking.
Muscaria is actually a pretty good culinary mushroom if you remove the water-soluble muscimol and ibotenic acid by parboiling it in a large pot of water.
It has a pleasant savory flavor that's slightly nutty and it sears nicely even after being boiled.
Have you read up on him at all? Luigi came from a wealthy heavily Republican family and was just starting to question right-wing ideology. Having respect for the feds is absolutely in line with the person described in this article.
Not my region but Purpleish spores means it's likely Psathyrellaceae. That pleated sausage-shaped cap is typically associated with the inky caps.
It looks like it might be Coprinellus Micaceus (Mica Cap) which is very widely distributed and is said to feature "glistening mica-like particles on the cap" which yours appears to have.
Like I said, not my region so I don't know of any potential lookalikes, we have C. Micaceus in my region (North American Pacific Northwest) but I've never examined one in person so I can't be too confident.
Remember when the Panama/Paradise papers came out and there were practically no Americans listed in them because American tax law is already so favorable to the rich that they don't even need to bother hiding assets?
Blockchain is such fucking cursed tech. I'm expecting a horrible plot twist where the US Government adopts Bitcoin (ruining the few things that were ever somewhat attractive about Bitcoin) and then it turns out Satoshi sold their wallet to Elon Musk years ago.
Doesn't look familiar but I'm happy to take a shot at an ID if you're willing to dig it up and post pictures of the underside and the base of the stem.
