Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf was largely about food and cooking.

Cooking master boy is a great 90s anime about cooking battles similar to Yakitate! Japan which someone else already mentioned.

I would say probably T. Versicolor based on that, it's also generally more common in the PNW than T. Ochracea.

Wow, it looks halfway between a morel and a stinkhorn. I wonder what species.

I actually would lean towards A. Aprica based on the stature and that the warts look pretty flat but it's hard to really tell without seeing the underside and volva.

Edit: I just noticed the margin of the cap isn't striate (for those following along, there are no ridges at the edge of the cap where the gills are) so it's almost certainly Amanita Aprica.

If it is a Muscarioid, then A. Chrysoblema is probably correct because genetic testing has shown that all native PNW muscarioids are color forms of the same species/variety so we don't need to worry about picking a variety from the color. A. Chrysoblema is one candidate for the correct name but it could also end up being that they're all A. Muscaria Var. Flavivolvata (they all have off-white yellowish warts).

For now I usually just call them all "Amanita Muscaria" and leave it at that.

As fantastic as this looks, Asterion must be played by Gonzo in "Muppet Baldur's Gate" so that Cazador can be played by Henrietta the Chicken.

Kermit is more of a "Wyll".

What's wrong with just using Aurora instead?

I think my problem may have been that I scheduled chores based on how frequently I thought they "ought to be" done rather than how often my ADHD partner and ADHD self were realistically capable of. It led to a spiral of always being behind which led to us not checking the app or checking stuff off when we did it.

The "time to do chores" daily reminder was completely unhelpful because I would always either ignore it because I wasn't feeling up to cleaning or ignore it because I was already cleaning.

We'll probably give the app another go one of these days with a more relaxed schedule, hope you have better luck with it.

An attempt was made:

Programming.dev only allows admins to create communities and they're all required to be programming-related.

If you haven't, make sure to give it a good oiling.

I have pets and bought a new vacuum just a couple years ago. I went with Sebo airbelt k3 after hearing Miele had gone down in quality and I love it. This vacuum fixes every single annoyance I've ever had with a vaccum:

• the canister rolls easily on carpet
• the cord retracts perfectly every time and rachets out as you pull the canister
• it's easy to take apart to clear clogs and even has a little spring flap behind the brushroller to quickly clear the most common place a clog will get stuck
• the roller is trivial to remove and clean
• the bags are easy to change and hold a lot of dust and pet hair before you need to change them

The K3 is a little out of your price range but the K2 and E2 are a bit cheaper. I will say that if you've got a lot of thick carpet, it's worth investing in a vaccuum with a powered brushroller like the K3.

The Empress Dowager is certainly holding on to some extremely complicated feelings she can't even tell anyone about. What a morally challenging character, I think I'm gonna have to chew on this one for a while.
