Yep, trimming down the alcohol certainly helps as well. Also helps keep the beetus at bay.

There are some alternatives to cheese that are pretty good. I’m an omnivore but my wife has convinced me that there are some good vegetarian options out there. Might be worth exploring if the low-fat cheese isn’t palatable.
- Cashew cream on enchiladas is fantastic
- the fake shredded cheese made out of almond isn’t so bad. We use it on salads, chili, etc. It’s expensive though.
- TVP gives things that umami flavor, good in chili, but it more so acts like ground beef
- Blended tofu with nutritional yeast acts as a very good ricotta substitute (coincidentally tofu also makes for a very good chocolate pie)
With this, and trimming down my meat consumption to just a few times a week, as well as a little exercise, I’ve kept my LDL numbers below my late 20s highs, which were borderline - I’m nearing two decades older now.

I think it’s that PayPal was one of the firsts to provide a method for collecting credit card transactions electronically.
Before PayPal, you’d often have to visit a website, then call the phone number for the seller to collect payment.
eBay needed paypal because their sellers were often not businesses, just people yardsaling stuff online.
Coincidentally, I interned at a PayPal competitor in 1998 that went under during the bust. We had an electronic interface through MS access, but it was a still a human entering in the CC number into one of those dial pads on our side and then confirming the transaction. I’m sure nowadays you can understand why that was a terrible long term business model.

Oh, my friend, I suggest you look into fugu, mad cow or chronic wasting disease.

No you were right, it does mean boiling twice, much like you would do for cassavas.

Roots, not mycelium, sorry if that was confusing.
Don’t eat mycelium.

Sure, and I suppose you’re going to advise me not to do my own electrical home wiring either. 😛

A general rule is if it has spores instead of gills, you’re probably in the clear.
Except for that one in Europe, that shit will megadeath you.
In all seriousness, the general rule I’ve heard for foraging wild unknown things is:
- cut it open and rub it on your skin, wait an hour, if it gives you a reaction, stop here.
- touch it to your lips, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
- touch it to your tongue, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
- chew a bit and spit it out, wait a while, if it gives you a reaction, stop here
- swallow a small amount, if it gives you discomfort, stop here
- if you’ve made it this far, it’s likely ok, do so at your own risk tolerance
Roots are generally OK, particularly if you have access to double boil them.

I literally thought it was for militant, because that’s how they come off over there if you’re not 100% in lockstep with them.
Like they were fighting the man or something.
