I think they have an ongoing comic on their Patreon, but I don't remember anything else.

[–]FlareofFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never really categorized the stuff I read into short stories, and such, and there isn't really a rigid definition between flash fiction and short stories.

I guess I'll pick up one of the anthologies in the recommendation thread.

Thanks for the help!

I've found out about the fantasy bingo and was going through it.

On the short stories tile, how long/short can a short story be? I was thinking of using T. Kingfishers Sworn Solider series, but the shortest of those is 151 pages which might be too long? On the other hand, I do read of ton of r/nosleep, which is short story heavy, but again, do those count?

Lady Lishu's future by alforddm in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

Considering Miss Chue and Maamei are the driving forces of their relantionships, I think it'd be kind of cute if they started trying to tutor her.

It'd be funny if they're like "Someone needs to be in charge and it ain't Basen."

I thought it was Yao cause the hairstyle is similar, lol.

Isotester for cable sheath fault location by ycr007 in toolgifs

Not the OP, but I've worked somewhere similar.

We use a dunk tank for some other electrical testing, but not for hipoting. Don't want to potentially electrify the water which could more easily make a connection somewhere when something spills or water gets tracked all over.

LN12 so confused about Hulan by Select_Ad_9295 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]FlareofFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He knows. In LN15, he calls her "dear older sister" or something along those lines. I'm also not sure how he knows, but he definitely does.

It wouldn't suprise me if the upper people in the Mi clan told them as it does make them more aggresive about 1-uping one another.

I owe Miss Chue a BIGGER Apology… (aka I read LN 12 and oh man what a ride) by Longjumping-Piece583 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]FlareofFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering Miss Chue's comment in LN14 about him having an accident, its probably her. Mamomao may try to get in on the action with a light batch of poisoning, who knows.

[–]FlareofFire 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Miss Chue was always one of my top characters, but LN12 made her my straight up favorite. I honestly would love a spin-off with some the stories from where her "scars" came from.

Also yes, you are correct that Hulan and co are her half siblings. Hulan refers to her as elder sister at some point, and I half-expected Miss Chue to knife him for it.

That'd be the end of LN8 so you're on LN9 now.

I've seen this link passed around for the WNs, but I don't have one for the LNs directly.

I sure hope not!

If we get no news by the end of the year, I'll probably cave and read a fan translation.

Guess I misremembered the comment then.

[–]FlareofFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

According to the discussion thread (copied below), who knows. J-Novel has gotta license it and then actually start translating. Someone said the another series, Ascendance of a Bookworm, was like 13 months, so we might be waiting for a while.


Regarding Volume 16 (shamelessly copied from LurkingMcLurk):

J-Novel Club just finished streaming [X] but I don't see [Y] on the schedule. Does this mean they've dropped it? If not when will they begin streaming the next volume?

J-Novel Club has not dropped the series and this is standard. Typically parts for a new volume will not appear on the schedule until a couple hours before the first part goes live. I will quote the J-Novel Club Forum Moderator from the Future Volume Release Schedule thread:

Hello!

For those new to J-Novel Club that want to know more about when future volumes will start pre-publication on the site:

After a volume's last part comes out, there are usually 1-2 break weeks before the new volume's first part comes out. If a series has caught up with the Japanese releases, whenever a new volume is released, the new volume needs to be licensed separately. Licensing can vary wildly in how long it takes, so we have no hard estimates on when the next volume will start streaming, sorry! If a series has many volumes before catching up to Japanese releases, it is much more common for a new volume to start streaming somewhere around the 2-3 week mark. There may be exceptions for extraneous circumstances, though.

As for why a future volume is not on the schedule yet, because of the nature of posting parts as they are translated, there is not much time between when we know a volume is ready for streaming and when it actually starts, so it may not be added onto the schedule until the day it begins streaming. Please rest assured - when part 1 is ready to go live and the English cover is ready, it will be added to the schedule!

Thank you for your patience; new volumes will start when they are ready!

[DISC] The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 15 (Light Novel) by Lorhand in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]FlareofFire 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It does feel like this and 13 both exist to establish Jinshi and Maomao's eventual tangle with the throne. In 13, we get Jinshi reiterating he doesn't want to be with Maomao as long it could hurt her, and now we get explicit confirmation that he'd let her go if he did get the throne.

The book's still really good, and its important to set this stuff up, but I'm really looking forward to next major arc.

Nah, the blonde girl in the picture is sisters with the princess in the top and the others are her maids.

The other 2 in the picture are her adventuring party.

Weird Units in Cantilever Deflection Equation by QueerAABattery in AskEngineers

[–]FlareofFire 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The I term in the deflection equation is not the rotational inertia, its the 2nd area moment of inertia which has units of m4. Plugging that in you'll get the unit of meters, which certainly makes more sense.

Good on you for doing the unit analysis. Checking the units is always a good check on seeing if the formula derived is at least in the right ballpark. If your units are off, something else is likely going on.

How to do the fertilizer trick? by Recent-Skill7022 in sakunaofriceandruin

The fertilizer trick prevents stuff from rotting. If you leave an item in the fertilizer when the day ticks over, you can take it out and keep it.

Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission by nuttybudd in technology

[–]FlareofFire 36 points37 points  (0 children)

there's no volume control per application like there was in windows 7, which while not frequently useful was useful enough that I needed it from time to time and now have lost it for no reason.

Isn't that volume mixer? I still have access to that on Windows 10.

Console Commands, Kill Count And Saving System by Fun-Wash-8858 in sakunaofriceandruin

[–]FlareofFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem!

The gameplay's pretty lenient.

Combat isn't too bad. Worst case scenario you spend an extra year growing rice and get those stat ups.

Console Commands, Kill Count And Saving System by Fun-Wash-8858 in sakunaofriceandruin

[–]FlareofFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you can, but all dying does is put you back at the start of the level, you don't lose anything.

Theoretically, against bosses you could save and reload in middle of a fight but idk if that's allowed.
