I guess we have to be a little in love with our storyworlds to sustain a life in writing, right? So yes, absolutely. Every now and then I reread something of mine and go, "Whaaat? I wrote this? Really?! Coool!"
But, there are also (like most of us on this hashtag, I suspect) moments when I am absolutely mortified by ungainly paragraphs, purple prose, awkward phrasing and typos by the million. And we all know draft zeroes are things that most of us dread to return to reading.
But, the moments of joy are what sustain me. I suspect they sustain (most of, your mileage may very) you too.
It's really rare to see Chika fan art with her original silver hair. Obviously I absolutely adore her pink hair, but there's something great about silver as well. It makes her look super elegant, you know? But nothing can beat the pink!
Asuka has both won her Round One match against Botan as well as the implicit eternal match between Asuka and Rei. She also, along with Lum, is the final representative of any girl from any series made prior to the 2000's. With such stats, the red headed Eva pilot will be a tough opponent for the sensha-dō tank driver.
ChristJuinor offers an alt reason for liking Asuka: "Asuka might be a raging cunt, but because of that and her great looks she's also outrageously Correctable, providing her with fierce, raw appeal that transcends the mediocrity of her overrated show."
He also reminds us that Asuka is also fascist, "Asuka has been fighting for us all this time, now it's our time to fight for her..." He quotes a libshit article that points to Asuka as a White Nationalist meme girl.
Fash-E says, "I have too many Asukas to poast them all so that will have to do" Oh no! Here comes the spam again!
The monster girl idealist of the Fluffy Tail Mafia, Mongoose, declares, "Fluffy tail enjoyers stand with asuka."
Not everyone likes Asuka though. In fact, there are many detractors on the Fediverse, which will create many anti voters.
From Christmas_Man on The Bag Social, "Asuka has no redeeming character traits, all Tsun, no dere. I'm correct so I will not apologize."
** RR 23. Anchovy / Girls und Panzer **
It's hard to measure Anchovy's performance in the main tournament though, as her opponent, Kurumi, received the least amount of votes in Round One and in the whole Main Tournament thus far. Still, Anchovy did well enough in the Royal Rumble match. She is also the sole representative of Girls und Panzer, which has many fans on the Fediverse, and is a better and clearer representative of Anime Fascism than Asuka. Both girls will fight hard and well today. I can feel it.
ChristJuinor gives a succinct summary of Anchovy's qualities: "Italian, Fascist, nice hair, nice tummy, what's there not to like?" Mmmmm! Fascist pizza girl tummy!
Merchant Helios of Poast reminds all Supreme Anglo posters that "the pizza woman is honorary."
To vote, please make one and only post with only the name of the girl you want to vote for within the AnimeGirlConnisseur Baest thread NOT SuperSnekFriend's Mugicha thread. (Asuka or Anchovy) You may add an image to your vote post.
Poll closes at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT)(UTC is for queers) following day of posting and any vote post made after will not be counted.
You MAY repost or quote post this thread, though it's encouraged to boost the main tourney thread as well.
But please do not use this Baest thread for discussion. Use @SuperSnekFriend 's tourney threads on Mugicha Club instead.
No account made December 2023 or later will be counted.
The outputs of "Arrokoth" by @qotonana are dynamic and slightly confusing in a thought–provoking way.
Watching the swarm–like shifting and meandering of the displayed particles in live view has an unexpectedly organic vibe, despite the reference to astronomy in title and description.
Have I ever scrapped a written character? Too many to count.
I just saw this question today but coincidentally, this morning I thought that the only way to make the pacing of "Blood Orange Orchards" work was to remove the love interest and focus on the main thematic thrust of the story. Sorry Kishore, I knew you well but you gotta go, bro.
Today was one of the last lessons of my #GPGPU course at the University, and I double-checked with my students if by their account we only had one more scheduled lessons to go (on Monday). I discovered that one of my students kept an accurate log of all the lessons. Problem is, I was sure today we were at the 23rd lessons (so one more lesson to go after today), and he was sure we were at lesson #22 (two lessons to go).
(Some of you may already be guessing where this is going.)
🎄Calendrier de l’avent des mathématiques insolites & amusantes, Jour #22🎄
LIEU MYTHIQUE🍻🍻🍻
Dans le centre de la ville Lviv, en Ukraine, se trouve le "Café écossais", bâtisse au style baroque (voir Figure) qui fut, il y a près d'un siècle, fréquentée par des brillants mathématiciens de l'époque de la prestigieuse École de mathématiques. Parmi eux, les mathématiciens Stefan Banach, Hugo Steinhaus ou Stanislas Ulam. Cette bande avait pour habitude de se trouver le soir, après l'Ecole, au Café écossais pour boire un coup et discuter mathématiques.
Les tables du café étaient en marbre poli, de sorte qu'il était possible d'y écrire comme sur un tableau. Elles se trouvaient recouvertes de schémas, formules et conjectures. À la fermeture, tout était effacé, et chacun tâchait de se souvenir des idées partagées. Jusqu'au jour où l'épouse de Stefan Banach suggéra à son mari d'acheter un cahier. Pour ne pas risquer de le perdre, le cahier était confié au propriétaire du café avant de partir.
Ce cahier devient rapidement une mine de problèmes mathématiques originaux. On lui donna le nom du "Livre écossais". Exemples: les théorème des « quatre couleurs » (Jour 11), « du sandwich au jambon » (Jour 16) ou encore du « point fixe » (Jour 10).
Lorsque la guerre arriva, la bande du Café écossais, dont beaucoup étaient d'origine juive, se dispersa. Certains furent tués ou déportés et d'autres s'exilèrent.
On ne sait pas très bien comment le Livre écossais (très épais) fut sauvé, toujours est-il qu'il fut publié et sa version numérisée se trouve sur Internet.
Le Café écossais, après une très longue fermeture, a réouvert en 2015, intégré à un nouvel hôtel. Son propriétaire expose une copie du Livre écossais, et pour perpétuer la tradition, les visiteurs sont invités à laisser à leur tour leurs problèmes mathématiques.🥰
> Font size is at least 14 pixels, preferably 16 pixels.
This strikes me as a bad recommendation. While pixels are abstract their sizing doesn't relate to a good font size. It seems that 1rem should be the recommended font size, as that is literally the font size that the user has configured.
Overriding the user's configured preference without a strong reason seems like a bad default to recommended.
In this episode I get the Basic Authentication NGINX configuration working using the envsubst tool to replace environment variables in the config file.
