galadhirPlateaued on the diet, mainly because I gave blood on Thursday and just ate everything in the house that evening because I felt wobbly and in need of food. I imagine that not being able to go out cycling because of rain/because I was banned from heavy exercise by the blood transfusion service also contributed.
Cycling is not looking good this week either as it continues to rain. I'll have to do the exercises attached to the diet instead, and at least I can pick the weightlifting back up, although it doesn't help that I am going to give evidence in my son's autism assessment on Wednesday - which is normally a weightlifting day. I guess that means this week weightlifting is Tuesday and Friday instead.
Life gets in the way of all our goals, and this is normal. Just have to do my best and hope it is better than nothing.
I have at least replanted the baby apricot tree out of the pot it was in and into the raised bed where it will have a chance to stretch its roots and grow a bit better.
Now to go and get the shopping for the week, come back and clean the kitchen, make lunch (and dinner?), then hopefully there will be time to edit another chapter on the narrowboat novel before it's time to eat the dinner and go to belly dance class.

Coding shenanigans
overmoreI realized that now that I have a completed deck in colors, I should probably display it somewhere on a page of it's own. This also made me realize I have to make that page, since the neotcg does not come with it.
Needless to say, I just spent an hour truing to figure out how to do that, giving up on the js file approach as I had no idea how to make it work. Manually adding everything it is. If anything I need to add it only once per deck, and as tedious as the process is going to be in the future, I don't have a better solution for the time being. I spent way too much time inspecting code and trying to make something work to care enough about making it work some other way. Not even done fully, but progress is progress. At least it's functional

trailer_spotThe Devil Wears Prada 2 HD720p 19MB
ensemble cast expands with new faces including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora, while fan favorites Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman reprise their roles as Lily and Irv.
First trailer for the sequel, twenty years after the first film. It follows Miranda Priestly's (Meryl Streep) struggle against Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement. Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci also return. Among the new cast additions are Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux and Lucy Liu. Again directed by David Frankel (Collateral Beauty, Hope Springs, Marley & Me).
Tuner HD720p 26MB
Interesting looking crime thriller drama about a gifted young piano tuner (Leo Woodall), for whom his sensitive hearing is both a blessing and a curse. Together with his mentor (Dustin Hoffman), he travels around New York taking care of instruments that require his unique talent. This task compels the otherwise quiet Niki to interact with people, including Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), to whom he finds himself immediately attracted. Events take a dangerous turn, when some dubious characters realize that Niki's gift could also be used to open safes. Directed by Daniel Roher (Navalny).
Masters of the Universe HD720p 35MB
First trailer for a new live-action movie based on the Mattel toy franchise. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Morena Baccarin, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley and Kristin Wiig are also part of the cast. Directed by Travis Knight (BumbleBee, Kubo and the Two Strings).
I know nothing about previous incarnations. But much of this looks as if it's "AI" generated.
I Love Boosters HD720p 21MB
Colourful, high-energy teaser trailer for this comedic drama about a crew of professional shoplifters (Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu) that take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven (Demi Moore). It’s like community service. Lakeith Stanfield, Eiza González, Will Poulter and Don Cheadle are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You).
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die HD720p 31MB
A second trailer for this darkly comedic sci-fi action thriller in which a man (Sam Rockwell) claiming to be from the future takes the patrons of an iconic Los Angeles diner hostage in search of unlikely recruits in a quest to save the world. Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chandhry, Tom Taylor and Juno Temple are also part of the cast. Directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mexican, Rango).
Just as wacky as the first trailer. Just imagine Sam Rockwell in top Sam Rockwell form. Or a Terry Gilliam movie.

When hell freezes over
viridian5It's been a rough week.
Queens has been so badly plowed and cleaned after last Sunday's major snowfall. Some people haven't bothered to try to get their cars out yet, a week later, while some who have left mountains of snow still in the spots and/or the spots were plowed shut. There are so many spots you could usually park in that are currently about 8 inches of iced-over snow and sludge instead right now. The city of New York seems to think this is good enough. Individuals have cleared sidewalks because the city would fine them, but corners and intersections have mounds of snow and pitfalls of slush. None of it is melting away because it's been well below freezing every day since. Night temperatures have often been or "feel like" below zero in Fahrenheit. Bitterly cold.
To cut through the ever-thicker crust of ice on these snow/sludge mounds, I drive the edge my shovel down as hard as I can, then stick my whole body weight down on the back end as hard as I can. That lets me chip away a bit. Deep under that, the snow is like flour.
I've been strategic about taking my car out and trying to get back to my neighborhood early-ish. My snow boots have died horribly, with the sole of one separating off completely and subjecting my foot to the outdoors, and brick and mortar stores don't carry them. Trying to figure out what's a decent boot for the price online is rough, and my feet aren't standard so I worry something I buy sight unseen won't fit and will need to be returned.

ysabetwordsmithOver 500 Million Years Ago, Early Vertebrates Had Four Eyes That Could See 360 Degrees
Every mammal, every fish, every vertebrate (creatures that have a spine) has two eyes. It’s been that way for millions and millions of years. But maybe it wasn’t like that forever.
During the Cambrian, when evolution was experimenting all sorts of strategies, early vertebrates may have had four eyes, and they were high-res eyes, too.

Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox, D&D Edition
ermingardenZeno's Diminishing Dichotomies
5th-level Illusion
The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a success, the target takes no damage and the spell ends. On a failure, the target loses half of its current HP and must repeat the save at the end of each of its turns for the spell's duration. On a failure, the target again loses half of its current HP. On a success, the spell ends.
Damage from this spell can never take a target below 1 HP. If a target fails a save while at 1 HP, the spell does not end, but the target takes no damage from the spell that turn.
Components: V, S, M (a fragment of tortoiseshell)
Casting time: 1 action
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Range: Touch (in true Zeno fashion, be prepared to argue with your DM about whether it is in fact possible for anyone to actually touch anyone else, since the person approaching must first reach the halfway point between the two, etc., etc.)
Some thoughts:
- I made it an illusion spell because it's based on a paradox. I was thinking that it's an int save because the target is trying to see through the paradox...but since seeing through the paradox would, here, be realizing that HP is not infinitely divisible and thus it's possible to be killed, that doesn't make perfect sense.
- I think making it a 5th-level spell (in 5e) is fair because (a) there's no guaranteed damage on the first turn (unlike, e.g., Immolation, another 5th-level spell), so you risk burning your spell slot for no payoff; (b) it's a touch spell; and (c) legendary resistances severely limit its utility against really powerful targets. That said, I could definitely see an argument for 6th level. (The 3.5 spell Avasculate, a 7th-level spell which reduces the target's HP by half once, has the caster make a spell attack rather than the target roll to save and isn't a touch spell; you also get a lot more higher-level spell slots in 3.5 than you do in 5e.)
Thoughts? I'd love to hear any opinions on this or suggestions for improvement!

Fic - consent issues - The Picture of Dorian Gray - Dorian/Basil
flo_neljaFics are unanoned!

And I got two gifts fot the same fandom, same ship, I'm not complaining at all. :D Both noncon for necromancy reasons.
Weather the storm (you made it) by Farasha (Mo dao zu shi, Wei Wuxian/Wen Ning, Explicit)
Wei Wuxian calls Wen Ning to him to try and find out what's been happening to his friend all these years. What he finds is that someone has been using his friend in terrible ways.
Wei Wuxian reached out to touch the manacle around one of Wen Ning's wrists. Wen Ning moved faster than his eye could follow, his hand snapping out and clamping around Wei Wuxian's wrist instead.
"Wen Ning," Wei Wuxian said, a nervous little laugh in his voice. "Let me go."
Wen Ning didn't move. He stared at Wei Wuxian with nothing behind his eyes.
Nightmare by WolffyLuna (Mo dao zu shi, Wei Wuxian/Wen Ning, Explicit)
Wei Wuxian has a nightmare, that unfortunately makes Wen Ning see him as an enemy.

#181 - Accretion
mxcatmoon posting in vocab_drabblesThis week's word is
ac·cre·tion ə-ˈkrē-shən
noun
1: the process of growth or enlargement by a gradual buildup: such as increase by external addition or accumulation (as by adhesion of external parts or particles), or the increase of land by the action of natural forces.
2: a product of accretion, especially an extraneous addition (accretions of grime).
"Any accretion of ice on a grounded jet will result in takeoff delays."
Accretion is often used in scientific writing; its usual verb form, accrue, is more often used in financial contexts ("This figure doesn't count the accrued interest on the investments").

Sherman’s March of the Penguins: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA ANTARCTICA ANNUAL #4 (JLI 52)
tcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
This 56-page annual came out alongside the 52-page JLE annual, while JLA and JLE continued their monthly schedule. A new Justice League Quarterly super-sized comic was in the scripting stages. Giffen and Dematteis were writing all of the above. And the premise of this comic is… “Ha ha, wouldn’t it be ridiculous if the Justice League brand were OVEREXTENDED?”
( I mean, imagine Batman or somebody declaring that EVERY hero was a Justice Leaguer! )
