Daily writing promptWhat have you been working on?View all responses One of the ideas I have been working on most recently is creating a mathematical and statistical model to analyze and forecast the efficiency and performance of an Agile team both at team and individual levels. I am opting for a combination of random forests, gradient boosting, and neural networks (i.e. Machine Learning)…

Triple-I Blog | Lightning: Quantifying a Complex, Costly Perilto Support Resilience

By Loretta L. Worters, Vice President, Media Relations, Triple-I Fire historically has been the main risk associated with the peril of lightning strikes. But as urban density increases and society’s dependence on electrical and electronic devices rises, lightning damage can be far more significant than the average home or business owners realizes. According to a Triple-I analysis of State Farm…

Obsessed with the degrees to which james wilson is a messy bitch. Primps and preens himself whenever he realises his boy best friend is stalking / sabotaging / psychological-warfare-ing him. Slept with his terminal patient. Immedicable people pleaser. Chronic adulterer. Three ex wives. PROPOSED TO HIS GIRLFRIEND AT SOMEONE ELSE'S WEDDING? Fuck you doin in the oncology wing my boy. Psychiatric ward is on the left corner

It is 5am and I read through the whole blog and I love love love the family dynamics and all the thought you’ve put into the lore and details 🩷 so! You’ve mentioned that if there aren’t any kids to make godkids, there won’t be any food for fairies. What do you mean by that? 👀

Also! Is there anything you wanna draw/tell us about the AU that nobody’s asked yet?

Is it still 5am for u, im sorry i've trapped u in 5am for 2 days now.

SO! Fairies feed on emotions, and different courts have different diets! The most common one is "desire". However, desires can't be harvested unless it's released from the human's body and becomes magic. The best way to do this is to have the person "Make a Wish".

This is why Fairies can't get desires from adults! Adults have a strong resistance to memory-tampering magic, which means their wishes are near impossible to grant if Fairies want to stay hidden.

After the wish is granted, the desire is removed and sent to the Big Wand. From there, desires leak out across Fairyworld, and fairies get to eat! It tastes best in the form of chocolate cake, I've heard.

Fun fact: Fairy Wings can be damaged or removed. Jorgen Vonstrangle doesn't have wings anymore!! He's a flightless fairy.

Jason Todd having another full-on flashback but while suited up. It’s so visceral and real and well done. His agony and terror is palpable.

patrick saying his we made it moment is seeing people stay for saturday is making me feel sooo insanely emotional because it’s like. such a personal metric of success?? like. saturday was never a big hit, but they chose to end every show with it years ago anyways. even when they could see people leaving during it, they chose to keep playing it. because it meant something to Him and to Them, and to the diehard fans too. and just imagining, as time goes on, seeing people choosing to stay. actively seeing peoples opinions and hearts change over time and decide that its worth it to stay, to feel the love and importance that song holds for the band. it’s beyond just a symbolic show that your music is resonating with people and making it into their hearts- people staying Literally shows that. all us believers still believe everytime we sing two more weeks, y’know? and with every show, maybe they’re picking up more believers. and That is how patrick measures his success— in how many people are choosing to believe and to stay.

to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money

This is going to sound so ☝️🤓 but I wish conversations about concepts like "attention" and "focus" at least attempted to ground our current understanding of these terms in their scientific-philosophical context...for example a lot of people want to talk about why it's so hard for many to keep their attention trained on x task, but the discussion occurs on top of the underlying assumption that attention is a thing switched on or off, you're either responding to stimulus or you're not, without questioning where that assumption came from/whether it encompasses the most holistic understanding of attention/what purpose is served by using such a narrow definition of attention

I think we’ve all underestimated the weight that a 13-year career in F1 has. Daniel’s legacy and value is not going to be reduced to nothingness just because red bull is running a smear campaign against him. He is still highly regarded in the motorsports world and it’s no surprise that there are so many people who still wants to work with him, who still view him as someone who will be a significant addition to their teams. There is after all, very few people who have his kind of marketability and experience. While it’s frustrating as a fan to see each rumour being denied by Daniel’s team, it’s understandable that he may currently not be in the mindspace to be making decisions about his future right now.

One thing is for sure though, the day that Daniel feels ready to come back, there will be opportunities waiting for him, whether that’s an active racing seat in another category or simply an ambassadorial role. As Toto said, he’s gonna be fine.

Meljayvik discourse reminds me a lot of those barely baked Challengers takes that said "Patrick loved Art, Art loved Tashi and Tashi loved tennis" in the sense that people love making these smart sounding little quips to surmise very complex relationships and they never land (and also tend to be very reductive especially about the female character in the dynamic).

laudna might be horrifically corrupted by an endlessly evil and manipulative presence but she does have a fair fucking point and i wish someone in the party explicitly stood up for that. it's inappropriate to assume that the people around you will be comfortable with you wielding the blade that they lost their life by, or watched their love die by. just because you died by it and your love died by it and you still want to use it to strengthen yourself and for poetic justice doesn't mean that everyone with that experience will be able to stomach it, let alone support it

and laudna especially, plunged into darkstone for what felt like a lifetime because of it and struggling for weeks on end to come to terms with how she was changed by it. the implied trauma olympics of "that sword is orym's to do with what he wants" is so invalidating to the complicated, messy, scary, ugly experiences and feelings that laudna (and fearne) has attached to it. it doesn't matter the body count of loved ones felled by the thing, it only matters how each person is affected by it
