The Double Cluster, C14 // Michael Kutschera

Getting two objects for the price of one is the Double Cluster containing the open clusters h Persei (NGC 869, left) and χ Persei (NGC 884, right). Both clusters are actually next door to each other as both are at a distance of about 7,000 light years in the constellation of Perseus, the Greek hero.

There are more than 300 blue-white supergiant stars in each cluster, with χ Persei containing five prominent red supergiant stars.

Today's Date is May 8th, 2024, and today's card is Wurmcoil Engine

[ID Wurmcoil Engine's art depicts a massive winding black metal wurm with green accents. At its mouth there are many sharp metal fangs forming an open roaring maw. Interestingly it looks like it has spit (phyrexian oil maybe?) and on the inside of its maw it holds a foggy green light source. The background is very vague and foggy/dusty/smokey but it doesn have some vaguely pointy architecture around.

It's an artifact creature that costs 6 colorless mana. It's subtypes are Phyrexian Wurm and its rarity is Mythic Rare.

Its rules text reads "Deathtouch, lifelink

When Wurmcoil Engine dies, create a 3/3 colorless Phyrexian Wurm artifact creature token with lifelink."

Wurmcoil Engine's power and toughness are both 6.

Its artist is Raymond Swanland and its print year is 2022. Its from the set The Brother's War Retro Artifacts. Its originally from the set Commander 2014. End ID.]

Rextinct: a new tool to estimate when a species went extinct

If several fossils of an extinct population or species are dated, we can estimate how long ago the extinction event took place. In our new paper, we describe CRIWM, a new method to estimate extinction time using times series of fossils whose ages have been measured by radiocarbon dating. And yes, there’s an R package — Rextinct — to go with that! While the Earth seems to gather all the…

Magic crackled in the air, and Lydia grabbed him closer and raised her shield —

A beam of light burst out of the stone. Impossibly bright, it shot up to the sky, reaching higher than Kjell’s eyes could see.

Elisa nodded. She reached a hand now to take Lee’s and squeezed it gently, a silent way of saying they were fine. If she were a more stubborn person, she might have held onto the grudge a little bit longer, however Elisa was simply too soft and too forgiving to hold onto it when there was no reason to, otherwise she would become the unreasonable one and that just wasn’t fair. 

She bit her lower lip, not sure if she should acknowledge his story. It seemed to be a sore topic for him, but also he had just spent all this time trying to explain it to her and it seemed cruel to simply ignore it. She wasn’t going to push, though. “I’m sorry about your parents. The biological ones,” she said. Though, she doubted he needed a reminder about which set of parents.

As Lee sat, waiting for Elisa to respond, he felt -- lighter. A heaviness had sat over him the last day, and even though things didn't feel fixed, at least he'd spoken his truth. Perhaps sharing what happened to him wasn't the worst thing, when it came to the people who mattered.

"I know. I know that now. But I wasn't thinking at the time. Fuck. Obviously I wasn't thinking. I just -- freaked out. Flight or fight kicked in. I didn't even think to just ask you to drop it. In case it -- I don't know. Don’t think a single rational thought happened. Just tried to make it go away in the stupidest way. I think it just all hit too close to home. Hearing someone I care about talk about it when I wasn't expecting it.“ There was probably plenty of other podcasts like Elisa’s, but he didn’t listen to them. He didn’t know. Just like he didn’t deep dive into the depths of the internet to find out. “But that's -- it's no excuse, I know that."

Exploring the Benefits of C++11 and C++14 C++ is an incredibly versatile and powerful programming language, and the C++11 and C++14 updates have given the language a major boost in terms of features and usability. In this article, we’ll explore some of the major benefits of C++11 and C++14, and why they make C++ a great choice for developers. One of the major benefits of C++11 and C++14 is improved language features. C++11 added many new features to the language, including support for lambdas, type inference, and the auto keyword. C++14 further expanded on this by adding additional features such as generalized lambda capture, variable templates, and user-defined literals. These new features make writing code in C++ much easier and more efficient, allowing developers to get more done in less time. Another benefit of C++11 and C++14 is better performance. C++11 and C++14 both introduced new features that make it easier for https://digitaltutorialsapp.com/exploring-the-benefits-of-c11-and-c14/?utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=socialtumbdigitutorials&utm_campaign=camptumbdigitutorials

The Double Cluster, C14 // Vlaams59

The Double Cluster was actually known to ancient Greek astronomers. Hipparchus (c. 190 - 120 BC) cataloged the object as a patch of light as early as 130 BC. However, the true nature of the object as two separate star clusters was not realized until William Herschel (1738-1822) observed it.

This pair of clusters is circumpolar, and so you can see it all year round.

Visual Novel and Otome Recommendations for the Discerning Artem Enjoyer

So, recently, I've been playing a few other otome games. And you know what? I've had to sludge through a lot of crap! It literally took me months to be able to compile a list of four games I feel confident recommending.

Also, each of these games have an aspect that might appeal to Artem fans, especially a-spec ones. Of course, your mileage may vary, but here are my recommendations.

C14 Dating: You're a college student participating in an archeological internship. The game includes friendship routes as well as romance ones. It's very chill and laid back! I have played through all of the routes and enjoyed them greatly. Though, I am specifically recommending this game for one character - Hendrik, a young geologist who is a TA at the dig site. He is canonically asexual, and is the only character of his kind that I've encountered in a dating sim. The subject matter is also handled very well. This game was actually recommended to me by an anon, and I thank them so very much for it!

Trouble Comes Twice: Adrian. That's all. I'm kidding. Unless? But for real, he feels like if you took Artem Wing, but put him in the childhood friend role. It works so well. I am being entirely serious. Sexualities aren't usually outright stated as most of the characters are bisexual, but in Hazel's Adrian route, Adrian explicitly mentions never having had romantic or sexual feelings before. And Hazel is very chill about it. Which makes Adrian canonically a-spec to me! As for the protagonists, Jace and Hazel, they're an acquired taste, but they get much better as the plot goes on. The game is also a little short, but I enjoyed it very much!

Our Life: Beginnings & Always: Part of me regrets playing this game because now I will never get the chance to play it for the first time again. It is so fucking good. The amount of customization is unreal and unmatched. Cove is a wonderful love interest, and honestly? He might even beat Artem in the blushy boy department. He's also canonically demisexual and embodies the "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme. And on top of this, the game is free. DLC (which includes more memories and two additional love interests) is also extremely cheap, and the price of it all combined is still a lot cheaper than most games.

Lovebrush Chronicles: Definitely the closest to Tears of Themis in terms of it being an otome gacha that finally got its global release back in October. Artem fans tend to be drawn to Clarence and Alkaid, but will find reason to also like Ayn and Lars. For instance, I love all of them. Please send help. The game's localization is excellent and makes the love interests feel more human. The game also has no qualms about making fun of its own characters, and the MC will frequently have the chance to lovingly bully the boys. Speaking of the MC - she is incredible and I love her. She takes no shit and is the only otome MC that has made me think, "yeah, I would definitely say that too," and I love her for it.
