Unfortunately we’ve only got about a billion.

I play the Sunday as a group and my God. Crosswords have some of the most bullshit rules.

You can put multiple letters on a single square? Reebus. You can also have an answer that’s a whole phrase instead of a word.

Well that’s complicated. A LOT of people who can get pregnant don’t have regular cycles, don’t have predictable ovulation, don’t know or have all the regular signs of ovulation, etc, that make tracking fertile periods tough. They are also people who bleed during ovulation, or have sporadic bleeding throughout their cycle, or bleed frequently from sex, all of which can confound predicting ovulation.

To compound that, sperm can live up to 5 days in the receivers reproductive tract extending a typical ovulation period to 11 days. https://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/sperm-and-semen-faq

What about this is not how pregnancy works, exactly?

Friends who are OK talking about and don’t shame you about sex. Also friends who have a sense of fucking humor.

I’ve read them all and liked them all. They all feel quite different.

Pact is urban fantasy about a protagonist dealt the shittiest hand and dealing with that. It gets pretty dark but I really like the world it creates.

Twig is about kids at an academy in a world where alchemy and biology took off. To the point where grade schoolers creating Frankenstein’s Monster would be a class project. It deals with flawed characters in a really unique world.

Ward is the sequel to Worm staring a very traumatized Glory Girl. Imo it’s about healing and dealing with trauma and forgiveness. It’s the toughest of Wildbow’s works in part because he got a LOT of negativity during this that made writing harder. But I liked it for what it was and how it expanded on the Entities lore.

Pale takes place in the world of Pact but in the future with different setting and characters. 3 girls introduced to magic with a strong emphasis on the Others and how they and humans coexist. I think it’s his best work so far and would suggest picking up here if something else doesn’t strike your fancy. Wildbow has said he likes writing in this world and I think it shows.

I’d also check out: https://www.patreon.com/wildbow/about , it has concise descriptions of each work by the author.

Ah sorry. I try to not appear like I’m advertising. It’s Pale by Wildbow which just finished. Modern fantasy with 3 girls as protagonists. Rituals, other-than-human creatures and spell cards are a big part of the magic system.

As a reader of a certain web serial, watching her deal with not being an innate magic user by using spell cards was very fun. That world didn’t know what hit them.

You wore a mask for one day when you had the FLU? Jesus fucking Christ.

The former probably. Person was either positive or positively exposed would be my guess.

If it’s below freezing, doesn’t that just get you ice when the water freezes again?

Bearuuuu!

Musk HATES hates public transportation. Which is weird because he’s in a private jet when he travels anyways.

Instant Spoiled Milk can also be made by adding a mirror vinegar. It’s also a cheat way to make buttermilk.

They literally can’t with obstructionist Republicans.

Also that’s a double standard. Because Democrats don’t fix every single thing Republicans fuck up they aren’t much better?

Yeah. After watching Charlanahzard’s video I went right to Twitch to the Just Chatting section and I saw that exact thumbnail on a video. It was playing old videos but it was just so absolutely perfect.

How do you use it for bots?

This sucks. I love jocat and all his videos. This is the second creator sheet Lindsey that had quit due to harassment of shit stains. I’m fucking tired if this being the Internet and I don’t even have to deal with death threats to my family like they do.

A male to male electrical cable with wall socket plugs is a fire hazard. There are some made to be used to connect a generator to a house but it’s a really bad idea.

Exactly. Charalanahzard did a video on this a few days ago I thought was really good.

Essentially what you said: it’s not really an issue. It only seems like one because there’s a demographic that’s intensely jealous and controlling.
