Hws sweden scholar What’s your thoughts on the ship sunor?

HI

i think it's really funny to call me a hws Sweden scholar 💗 thank u

I love love love all the sunor fics n art ppl make it's very lovely on that they are kind of similar in the surface but also very different guys.

BUT in my head i just see them as being like, EXTREMELY divorced, they r still good friends n like to hang out with each other but the "got married and immediately got divorced" energy is PALPABLE, even if the marriage was technically just a political thing

[posebean]

Another thing about antagonists in general is that they aren't always inherently bad! They're just in opposition of the protagonist! (Who isn't always good either!!) Enstars is rlly fun bcs it switches those roles around between characters and reducing a character to Just that story role is a rlly reductive way to look at the material

anon can i have your hand in marriage /j

this gets a little long... read more

YEAH! its all a matter of perspective; people tend to focus on only one perspective and forget that things aren't just as simple as this person evil this person good (in the case of enstars)

sorry everything is abt crazyb i only know bee stuff by heart 🥹butttt

honestly any story with crazy:B involved with other units (main story, night club, SS Sudden death) shows this. theyre the unit that goes against the system, that breaks the seemingly perfect but actually fucked up system. they do things wild and their own way, and are portrayed initially negatively (we are given other persoectives to see this through! like every other unit, 2wink, knights etc. so it makes sense that people initially go. yeah. these people are bad. )

but then we get it from their perspective. we learn that theres reason behind this madness, behind all the wild and antagonistic acts that they do. we learn that they're so, so human. they have their own problems, have ideals that they're getting realized in their way, not going with the flow. nothing is black and white, sure, sometimes they may do some things that people don't agree with, but ultimately there's always reason behind that;

sorry to make this about him but i've gotta. all the posts that limit rinne to just a gambling addict alcoholic with no respect for anything that would be awful just to be awful make me want to hit stuff with a rock. i think theres this one convo in main story that basically explains it so well, that one where niki and mayoi are talking. the one where niki says yeah? rinne-kun is awful and stuff at times but he's human, just like me and you. that line hit me so hard you dont understand

im like. convinced people that label rinne as only evil and scum like. difnt read mainstory 5 at all. a huge part of that mainstory was showing things from crazy:b's perspective, showing that rinne was a planner, that he planned for everything and now was shouldering all of it, ALL OF THE BLAME, saying that his unitmates had no part of it and was literally willing to LEAVE, leave behind his dream, leave behind everything so that his unitmates and hiiro and everyone else could live happily. IF YOU CAN READ THROUGH ALL OF THAT, READ THROUGH WINNER AND HAPPY END AND SEE LITERALLY HOW BROKEN RINNE IS ABOUT LEAVING BUT HES STILL DOING IT ANYWAYS BECAUSE HE LOVES EVERYONE!! BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE GALL TO SIMPLIFY HIM TO HAHA GAMBLER ALCOHOLIC MAN WHO WOULD STEAL MY WALLET AND BURN MY HOUSE DOWN i will hit you with a rock 💥🥰

it is okay to not like a character!!! it is not okay to limit them simply to aspects you find on a shallow level. better to not think about that character than at all. i am taking rinne amagi swaddling him in warm blankets and giving him hot cocoa i will defend his characterization with my god damn LIFE

sorry anon u didnt ask for this but yeah basically its all a matter of perspective and prople need to learn to respect that all of the characters at the end of the day are human and have their own nuances. be like me. dont have strong negative feelings except sopping wet /pos

So, about curly hair care…

So @evilpenguinrika and I were talking briefly about this and I realize that so many of us curlies are in the trenches when it comes to hair care, mostly due to popularized misinformation.

I spent the majority of my life not going natural because I was overwhelmed with the thought of managing my hair myself. If I knew years ago what I know now, it would have changed my life. 🥲 But, since it’s never too late to see the light, I wanna share things I’ve learned from actual curl professionals (NOT Hairfluencers/Youtubers) about simplified healthy curly hair maintenance!

Basically, you only need three things for a bomb style with your curls:

shampoo and conditioner at least every 7 days

a good water-based gel or holding mousse applied to detangled wet hair to set your curls

hooded dryer or hand blow dryer with diffuser attached to dry your hair after setting it

And dassit.

How do you shampoo curly hair?

You get your hair sopping wet in the shower, like, make sure you spend a few minutes just letting the water run over and through your hair. Then, you take the shampoo and work it in by smoothing it through your hair from root to tip. You know those commercials where they have a woman piling all her hair up on top of her head and rubbing? Yeah, us curlies shouldn’t be doing that. It makes the detangling step even worse! 😵‍💫

How do you detangle?

After adding conditioner to completely saturated hair, take a detangling brush and work your way from root to tip. Then you rinse. This is called “active conditioning” because you’re working the conditioner in instead of just slapping it on your hair to sit. Any shed strands will be collected in the brush to prevent drain clogs, and your curls will be defined without any “fairy knots” (single strand knots).

How do I keep my curls moisturized?

Making sure you wash it regularly; don’t go longer than a week without a shampoo. Moisture is water. If your hair is dry, just hop in the shower and cleanse it, then restyle. Also, it’s best not to towel-dry your hair; more water in your strands before you set your look is key to a lasting style!

How do I style curly hair?

However you want to! But if you’re looking for a basic “wash & go”, all you need is a mousse or water-based hair gel to put in your wet hair after the shower to define your curls and give them hold until you wash again. If you don’t want your hair to be frizzy, sit under a dryer after application until fully dry.

Please note that any other products (oils, creams, leave-in conditioner/treatments) aren’t needed, and may even be working directly against your hair goals.

Working… against? My hair goals?

Yeah. 🥲 I’d say the vast majority of specialty products hawked to those with curly/kinky hair are not needed. For example, if you want luscious, defined clumps of curls, you won’t get that with leave in conditioners or butters or creams. Raw oils actually just coat your hair strand, which makes it shiny but also makes it waterproof and negatively affects scalp conditions. You have to clarify all of that out of your hair regularly in order to get moisture into your strands, so it’s better to just leave them on the shelves.

Hair care should be simple, and it is! Most people just need a consistent wash cycle with quality hair products in order to see drastic results they thought they would only get after numerous expensive hair treatments.

What are some quality hair products?

Basically look for stuff that doesn’t have butters & oils in the first five ingredients. Having SOME formulated into hair products is good, but not to the point where it’s the main draw of the product. It’s not the oils and butters that will help your curls, it’s the cleansing and hydration from water that does! Quality products may have a higher price tag, but you don’t need to use a whole lot per wash so a little goes a long way! I wash my hair every 3-5 days and the bottles of shampoo/conditioner I bought a year and a half ago are still going strong. ☺️

Also keep in mind that technique is key; if you don’t give yourself time to acquire the skill of managing curly hair to be its best, you could have the best products in the world and still be in shambles. This is where curl specialists come in, who offer workshops and consultations to teach you how to manage your hair at home so you end up saving a ton of time and money without all the guesswork.

So, who are these curl specialists?

I gotchu! All of the ones listed below are Black, but the core of curly hair care is not race-specific. As long as you’re not a non-Black tryna get locs or box braids, everything is cross-cultural! Some have online communities you can join for personalized help and instruction, but all have a wealth of information for free to get you started on your healthy curly hair journey.

Please note: These are licensed professionals that went to school to learn things about hair care the general public wouldn’t have access to otherwise. All they want is to bring clarity and simplicity to curly hair care!

You don't like the sopping wet cat rival?

He called me several swears 'm literally unable ta repeat. The game really simplified the script.

[beatricebidelaire]

but sometimes it’s so easy to fall into the feeling that you are the combination of the negative traits of two different things. it happens with so many dichotomies. not just neither my mother nor my father but a third worse thing.

say, i have none of the traditional feminine traits that people traditionally look for in a girlfriend nor the traditionally masculine traits people look for in a boyfriend. neither the literary sense of a student in literary fields nor the math/science acumen of someone from stem fields. bilingual but feeling like you aren’t proficient in either. i’m not a good cook but neither am i good mechanic or fixing things that are broken. i don’t get classic literature references nor advanced calculus. my english is not as good as native speaker and my chinese feels like it’s in decline. i’d joke that i’m good at neither languages but that’s okay i’m an engineer anyway that’s stereotypical of us isn’t it the languages i understand best are actually c++ and python but actually i’m so basic at those too look at all friends who solve coding problems so much faster and as a hobby. but it’s not like that, not really, or at least i hope not, or maybe i’m kidding myself or whatever. but i’d like to think that maybe i’m just mediocre enough at all things that i could still scrap by in general and enough background knowledge in just the vaguest sense that if i want to delve into something deeper then i can go from there. yeah i’m not a good cook but i can still feed myself cook for myself it’s just that i don’t think anyone else would want to eat what i cooked but the truth is that people have, just not that often. i still know a few dishes, simple as they are and i can survive on that. i don’t know how to fix things intuitively but i could still give it a try if i liked it up online and follow the step by step, it may be trial and error in a lot of cases but it can still be done, unless it can’t which happens sometimes but when can you do. and my friends ask me to look over their english essays or SOPs when they apply for schools and i know i can actually give constructive feedback wrt not just grammar errors but also how the thing overall reads, or when i travel with my family and is the one to talk to people to buy thing or resolve issues over the phone or whatever and it occurs to me that other people actually think my english is pretty okay as a non native speaker and i read books in two languages regularly and granted they’re not of deep complex literature stuff they’re often just murder mystery and sci-fi and nonfiction books where the language are straightforward but at least on i’ve learned quite a few technical terms related to forensic science (thank you, mr deaver) which admittedly i probably won’t get a chance to use in real life but whatever. and i can read both traditional chinese and simplified chinese characters even though writing them feels a little rusty. and i can code, not well enough but well enough to trick my colleagues into believing i am capable i can’t write code as quickly and effortlessly but i can still put together something that works if i spend some extra time behind the scenes secretly, because that’s the trick to being an imposter like if you need longer time you do it on your own time and pretend you didn’t and it can seem like you did it in the same speed as others would have. like i am just mediocre at many skills but i’d like to think, or i’d like to pretend that it’s just with enough background knowledge that when i do want to do something or learn a concept like trying to fix a broken thing or understand a math proof or solve this leetcode problem that if i take a little time i can likely get it, maybe, probably, or at least i’m trying. sometimes that has to be enough. maybe, i don’t know.

ofc that’s all skillwise and knowledge stuff, when it comes to gender presentation things it’s like. well. mother tells me i need to grow my hair longer that it’ll look prettier and more attractive, that i should learn to wear at least a little bit, the most basic makeup such as eyebrows and lipstick but i neither want to grow my hair longer nor wear makeup ever except i don’t look even a little bit masculine at all either, i’m like genderless but unlike everyone else who is genderless they’re all genderless in a cool way i just look genderless in a ….. like a kid who hasn’t grown into anything, way. except i’m in my late 20s. absolutely swagless, one might say. although if i’m like, the only one swagless and uncool one maybe that makes me cool if in a unique way because it’s like the interesting number paradox, isn’t it? the smallest of all uninteresting numbers is interesting in the sense that it the smallest uninteresting number! hey, that’s unique. which removes it from the uninteresting numbers, therefore in the new set there’s a new smallest uninteresting number…… and so on and so forth so there’s no uninteresting number. we’re all interesting in our own way.

but i digress.

because at the end of the day it’s like yeah i’m not attractive but it’s like, whatever, i do have some skills and that’s enough for me and yeah they’re mediocre but i’m good enough at being an imposter that i can sort of just, be okay, enough to go through the motions, it’s like, fake it till you make it, you know. you just gotta keep faking it. i have successfully tricked some very competent colleague for years into believing i am capable at solving the problems by just using the most basic trial and error style debugging and looking up the errors from the compiler and heavily reliant on stackoverflow and duckduckgoing the syntaxes and keywords when i need to find information. but also, maybe that’s just adulthood. it doesn’t matter that you need to look up more stuff than the others as long as you look them up and know how to use them when it’s needed.

i keep getting away from my point. what was i talking about.

oh right. i am still neither my mother nor my father but a third worse thing (their daughter). but. oh well. whatever. at least i possibly am so swagless that it’s almost cool and there’s a reasonable chance that i can name more nordic noir detectives than you can (no it doesn’t have any practical use unless we’re like, stuck in a room and to unlock the door and get out we need to answer 3 questions about scandinavian crime fiction)

Procion Tub-Dyeing for Noobs, from one noob to another:

If you’re not a masochist, use rayon. If you’re not fazed by a slight challenge, use cotton. If you’re a masochistic fool like me, you can try to dye linen. Generally speaking, that is the order of vibrancy and darkness of color you can achieve with the same dye bath recipes with the 3 most common cellulose-based fibers.

Before we begin, some safety precautions! Gloves are the minimum necessity. A dust mask is recommended, as are safety goggles. Dyeing is as much a chem-lab project as it is an art form, and the precautions you need to take are similar, even if procion dyes are on the hobbyist-friendly end of the safety spectrum. The gloves are especially important once you start handling the soda ash. Prior to that, they’re mostly for keeping the dye off hour hands. You want long gloves that will allow you to submerge your hands in the dye bath without dye spilling into them. As for tools, nothing that will ever be used for food prep! These chemicals and dyes are relatively safe to handle but you don’t want to be eating them.

Prewash your fabric. Just do it. Even if you don’t care about shrinking and you never plan to wash this fabric ever again, just do the damn prewash to make sure there’s no residues left on your fabric. Most modern fabrics are factory finished with all sorts of crap, and even a basic starched finish can interfere with an even dye job. You don’t need to dry the fabric as long as you have thoroughly rinsed out all the soap (though if your goal is to also preshrink you should dry it however you plan to dry the future project).

You will need a bucket. Or a tub. A large pot will also do. You can use a plastic storage bin. I used a plastic drawer I commandeered from my bedroom. Make sure it’s deep enough that you can fill it only two-thirds of the way and still have enough liquid to swish your fabric around. More water is easier but is not….as necessary as most dyeing instructions say. It’s just more work to get an even saturation if you use less water. The goal is to have enough room to move the fabric and untangle it as it soaks up the dye.

The problem with more water is more salt. You need at least 1 cup of regular table salt for every gallon of water. Less if you use powdered salt, more if you use kosher or large crystals. Err on the generous side.

Here’s a simplified chemistry explanation. Water is a solvent. When you add dye to the water bath, it will want to remain bonded to the water, rather than sticking to your fabric. Salt will aid the dye out of solution, into the fabric (or wood, or yarn, etc). No salt? The dye will just sit happily in the water and you will end up wasting a ton of it.

You will also need soda ash. Soda ash is what chemically bonds the dye to the fiber. I go for about a quarter cup per 2 gallons of dye bath. Note that you have to pre-dissolve this so you will be adding water to the dye bath at the end. This is why the tub needs to be big enough so that you can add more water without overflowing.

Order of operations:

Presoak your dry fabric to make sure it absorbs the color evenly. Don’t skip this step. Set the wet fabric aside while you continue prep. You don’t want it sopping, but it needs to be soaked all the way through. Think of a wrung-out towel or laundry right after the spin cycle.

Dissolve your dye. If you have a medium-sized glass beaker and a mason jar, that would be ideal. Start with the beaker, a tablespoon of dye, and a teaspoon of warm water. Get as much dissolved as you can. Add half a cup of room temp water gradually until the dye seems runny and then pour this off into a jar. Add water to about halfway full, seal, shake. Add a little water to the leftover gunk in the beaker. Be amazed at how much dye you still had left. Pour off into the jar. Add a little water to the beaker. Repeat as much as you can until your jar and beaker are full.

In your large bucket or tub, you’ll probably want about 2-3 gallons of water. I put my bin in my bathtub to catch splashes and make cleanup easier. Dissolve your salt into the water however you want. If using powdered salt, this step is easy and you can just stir with a long stick for a few minutes. Or with gloved hands if your bucket is more wide than deep.

Add the prepped dye to the bucket. You may find some dye particles still have not dissolved. Rinse your beaker and jar out with plain water and just add that to the dye bath. Give all this a good stir.

Get your wet fabric! Into the dye it goes. Swish around for like, 20 minutes to 1 hour. You want the fabric to be many shades darker than the final color you’re going for. Wet fabric always looks darker than the final result, and procion dyes will not fully “exhaust.” That means a lot of it won’t stick and will rinse out. The stuff that does stick will be very permanent though.

While you let the fabric soak, swishing it around occasionally, prep the soda ash. You can do this in the clean jar or beaker, but note that the dissolving process may make the water heat up. You therefore don’t want to use too much soda ash in too little water, since higher concentration will also mean it’s more caustic aka dangerous. At low concentrations it’s simply an irritant. I used about 1.5 cups of water for a quarter cup of soda ash. A 3-gallon bath needs more slightly more soda ash than that. A third or a half cup should be sufficient.

Has it been 20 minutes yet? Cool! Move the fabric over to one side of the bath and add a third of the dissolved soda ash. Stir into the dye and swish the fabric around. Repeat twice more.

Soak and stir the fabric for an hour. Yes, this is really time-consuming. Yes, you really do need to do it, especially if your dyeing environment is a bit chilly. You need to give the soda ash enough time to work, or all your prep work will go to waste and the dye will just wash right out. If your dye bath is cold it may take much longer (think a day or two) for the colors to really set. If it’s fairly hot (but not boiling), it will only take an hour or two.

It has been an hour! Congrats, you can now dump the dye bath. It won’t work on anything else now that the soda ash has done its job. You might manage to stain something but the color will wash out or bleed onto other things (like your skin).

Rinsing time. Rinse the fabric in a bucket of clean water a few times and then let it sit in clean water overnight. Dump the water in the morning and wring out as much as you can. You might want to wear gloves for this step as well. Soak it again for a few more hours minimum, wring, toss in the washing machine to finish the job.

Dry the bastard. If linen, iron while damp.

That’s it! You may want to wash with like colors for the next couple rounds of washing, but afterwards the color will be very permanent. What’s nice about procion dye is you don’t need a stove! Warm water is recommended for all of the dissolving steps to make life easier, but you just need a warm tap for that.

Menudo: A Hearty and Flavorful Mexican Classic

Menudo is a beloved Mexican dish that holds a special place in the hearts and stomachs of many. This hearty stew, traditionally made with tripe, hominy, and chili peppers, is a staple at family gatherings, celebrations, and weekend brunches across Mexico and beyond. With its rich flavors, comforting aroma, and nourishing ingredients, menudo embodies the essence of Mexican cuisine and culture. Let's dive into the fascinating world of menudo and discover what makes this dish a cherished favorite.

The Origins of Menudo

Menudo has roots dating back to pre-Columbian Mexico when indigenous peoples would cook stews using offal and indigenous ingredients like corn and chili peppers. Over time, the dish evolved, incorporating new ingredients introduced by Spanish colonizers, such as tripe and spices. Today, menudo is enjoyed throughout Mexico and is often served as a cure for hangovers or as a celebratory meal on special occasions.

Key Ingredients of Menudo

While there are regional variations of menudo, the classic recipe typically includes the following key ingredients:

1. Tripe: Menudo is traditionally made with honeycomb beef tripe, which is the lining of the cow's stomach. Tripe adds a unique texture and flavor to the dish, with a chewy yet tender consistency.

2. Hominy: Hominy, or "maíz pozolero" in Spanish, is dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkaline solution to remove the hull. Hominy adds a subtle sweetness and chewiness to the stew, balancing the richness of the tripe and spices.

3. Chili Peppers: Chili peppers are essential for adding heat and flavor to menudo. Common varieties include guajillo, ancho, and pasilla peppers, which are dried and rehydrated before being blended into a flavorful chili paste.

4. Spices: Menudo is seasoned with a variety of spices, including garlic, onion, oregano, and bay leaves, which add depth and complexity to the stew.

How Menudo is Prepared

The process of making menudo is a labor of love that requires time, patience, and attention to detail. Here's a simplified version of the traditional preparation method:

1. Clean and Prepare the Tripe: The tripe is thoroughly cleaned and blanched to remove any impurities. It is then simmered with aromatics like onion and garlic until tender.

2. Make the Chili Paste: Dried chili peppers are toasted and soaked in hot water to soften. They are then blended with garlic, onion, and other spices to create a rich and flavorful chili paste.

3. Simmer the Stew: The tripe is combined with the chili paste, hominy, and spices in a large pot. The stew simmers slowly for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tripe to become tender.

4. Serve and Garnish: Menudo is typically served hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, and crushed oregano. Warm corn tortillas or bolillo bread are often served on the side for dipping and sopping up the flavorful broth.

Variations of Menudo

While the classic version of menudo is made with tripe, there are variations of the dish that use different meats or ingredients to suit personal preferences or dietary restrictions. Some popular variations include:

- Menudo Rojo: Made with red chili peppers and often includes pork trotters or other meats in addition to tripe.

- Menudo Blanco: Also known as "menudo de res blanco," this version omits the chili peppers and is simmered with a white sauce made from milk or cream.

- Menudo Verde: Made with green chili peppers, tomatillos, and cilantro, giving the stew a vibrant green color and fresh flavor.

Menudo is more than just a dish; it's a cultural institution that represents the heart and soul of Mexican cuisine. With its rich flavors, nourishing ingredients, and centuries-old traditions, menudo continues to captivate the taste buds and warm the hearts of all who enjoy it. Whether served as a comforting brunch dish, a festive celebration meal, or a cure for a hangover, menudo is a true Mexican classic that embodies the spirit of community, family, and culinary heritage. So, the next time you're craving a taste of Mexico, consider making a pot of menudo and savoring the flavors of this beloved dish. ¡Buen provecho!

The Essential Features of Pharma ERP Software

Recently, a friend of mine, who owns a pharmaceutical company in the United Kingdom (UK), and I planned to meet for coffee. However, as usual, he got caught up with work and arrived late. When I asked him why his work seemed so chaotic, he explained that managing all the departments and the entire production scale in the pharmaceutical business is inherently challenging. I introduced him to the concept of ERP software as a potential solution to his supply chain management woes.

He was surprised to learn that an ERP solution could digitalize all supply chain operations and assist in simplifying processes, boosting efficiency, and improving productivity in his pharmaceutical company. Upon this, he asked what features should be looked for or what features an ideal pharma ERP software should have. Below is the list of six most important features that can’t be compromised while selecting a Pharma ERP:

1. Formulation/Recipe Management

Formulation management is crucial in the pharma industry, as a manufacturer's success depends on effective formula control, security, and tracking. ERP for pharma allows manufacturers to document every detail of each ingredient and its use in the production process. It tracks ingredient specifics, stores formulations securely, and incorporates an approval workflow for added security. It also ensures that only authorized personnel can access the formulas.

2. Batch Processing

Pharma manufacturing is performed in batches according to cGMP guidelines. Manufacturers need an manufacturing ERP that handles the entire product line, including tablets, powders, capsules, and syrups. It should seamlessly manage the entire production process from batch creation to closure, including ticketing and cost calculation for materials, labor, and other expenses. Additionally, the ERP should be capable of printing BMR and MBR reports, monitoring batches, dynamically sizing them, and executing SOPs.

3. Quality & Regulatory Compliance

A good pharma ERP ensures compliance with FDA 21 CFR, EU GMP, WHO GMP, and other standards. It includes workflows, approval controls, and audit trails to simplify compliance. It features quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) capabilities, along with stability testing, to ensure the safety of drugs reaching consumers.

ERP for the pharmaceutical industry should support QA testing, document the entire process and the outcome of each test, eliminate even the slightest slip-ups, and ensure conformance with expected standards. Well-defined QA and QC roles and compliance with cGMP mean that only the appropriate materials are sent for production or shipment while the inappropriate ones are rejected and quarantined, returned, or disposed of. NC, CAPA, Inspection plans, Adverse Event Reporting, etc., are other features that cannot be missed in a Pharma ERP solution.

4. Lot Traceability

A pharmaceutical ERP system with lot traceability features enables manufacturers to track ingredients throughout the entire supply chain, from procurement to final sale and vice versa. This capability facilitates efficient management of recall situations and enables swift product recalls when necessary. It also allows the execution of mock recalls. By providing a 360-degree view of each product lot's activity, the ERP system ensures that each lot remains distinct and traceable in all subsequent operations.

5. Inventory & Material Management

A reliable ERP for pharma industry enables manufacturers to minimize material wastage and monitor inventory levels effectively, ensuring greater profit margins. It facilitates identifying required materials, setting procurement triggers, and scientifically monitoring material usage. Additionally, it reconciles inventory balances and generates inventory status reports promptly. By calculating production and procurement needs, the system optimizes inventory levels to prevent overstocking or understocking. Furthermore, it supports the first expiring, first out (FEFO) approach to inventory management, ensuring consistent quality and minimizing the risk of selling expired products.
