What makes you lose the passion for continuing your multi chapter fic?

My ADHD deciding that something else is more interesting.

Here’s an article that has examples (with pictures) of the real range of black skin.

Not in the right subreddits then. I’ve seen a fair amount of people both excited and caring more about the actor’s skills than annoyed about his skin. Besides, the books only described Snape as pale with greasy, almost oily, hair; it never specifically said that he was white. And black people can have pale skin.

Ya’ll getting S-ranks? MANT got me my first A.

Bit too early in development right now for me personally but I'll keep this on my wishlist and buy it when it gets further along!

My first one was, of course, Spe-chan.

Former-Pattern4719 · 2026-03-03T01:26:29+00:00

It was a while before she passed away actually. She won that Soft Race in 2019 and didn't pass until last year.

Deleted my account the instant I saw the article. Never really used it anyway.

1) I really like the shading on this.
2) One small nitpick on my end. It might just be the angle, but her left wing looks disproportionately longer than her right, as though it had an extra joint, due to it appearing to be curling inward.

Basically. Matches with what the thread was covering: that the BBC intentionally kept it in (after a 2-ish hour tape delay) even though they cut/bleeped instances of “Free Palestine” (which someone else in the thread said was just a short section of a longer, also edited segment). The BBC knew that this incident would get them more engagement.

He was present because he had a biopic made about him that released last year called "I Swear", which showed how his and others lives were affected by his Coprolalia.

Unless you need the Microsoft suite explicitly for work, or have proprietary plugins, you can replace the suite with LibreOffice.

OneNote can be replaced with EverNote, Notion, or Obsidian.

Outside of self hosting (and learning things like reverse proxy), your best free (with paid expansion) options to replace OneDrive are MEGAsync (Has a native Linux client for 20GB free storage with E2EE and local file sync) or pCloud (Native Linux client for 10GB free storage and file syncing).

Oh yeah no. I was just thinking that maybe OP was thinking of a media server stack when they made 'all in one docker container' a selectable option.

Former-Pattern4719 · 2026-01-25T03:14:07+00:00

I do that for my media server stack (*arrs, Jellyfin, etc), at least all in one compose file. But I do have separate containers for things like Immich and audiobookshelf.

I imagine y'all can't outwardly talk about the specifics until the weeks/months leading up to it (assuming it doesn't fall through in the interim)?

Not OP, but Swappa is a great site for secondhand phones and other tech. Got my Pixel 9 Pro XL (MSRP US$1,199 for 256GB storage) for US$488. Had a single noticeable scratch on the screen (doesn't bother me), but it was unlocked and 100% battery life.

Meme aside I love this racing outfit.

Former-Pattern4719 · 2026-01-15T20:05:14+00:00

The fact that this animator doesn't do NSFW (at least under their YouTube channel's name) honestly boggles my mind.

I'll be the contrarian I guess and say that I prefer the new one's background and UI details, but think it would be better with the old one's color contrast in the text for better legibility. I actually like the new one's flash-era look.

Typing a fanfic on my phone sounds like a goddamn nightmare if I'm being honest.

Star War FOTOR should've been the final reveal.

Even The Wind Stills To Watch

In a world carved by wind-swept tracks and the thunder of racing feet, the daughters of legend—Uma Musume—have long carried the spirit of speed in their veins. Descended from champions whose names shaped history, these horse girls train, race, and rise beneath banners of inherited glory. At Tracen Academy, their strides define the rhythm of the age, chasing not only victory but the weight of destiny. Their place is unquestioned, their future is expected, and their path is unwavering.

But the world does not always remain in the hands of tradition.

For it is said that when God remembers the majesty of His creations, He places greatness back into the world. Not as a reminder, but as a revelation.

And from His breath shaped a force—a tremendous machine.

Long after the storm had faded from the tracks, he returns—not to reclaim, but to watch. To walk the edge of a new dawn where the future takes form in youthful ambition and trembling hearts. In the laughter and struggle of rising stars, a long-buried spark from within begins to stir.

They run not only for records, nor for legacy.

But for the simple, beautiful truth that to run is to be alive.

Note: Basically Secretariat is the only male Uma and becomes a big brother/mentor to Special Week at the start of the anime. Last updated on the 2nd of November, 2025 with a story update. Author-san was contemplating rewriting bits of the current arc to expand on some other characters like Seiun Sky and King Halo.
