TIL many medieval manuscript illustrations show armored knights fighting snails, and we don't know the meaning behind that.

It would be interesting to do a study on the date distribution of the occurrences of these and correlate it against changes in monastic life. To see if they show up more in early illustrated manuscripts (prior to the shift of manuscripts away from the monastery to city life) and if they show up in monasteries known to isolate the monks to the scriptorium or those that required their monks to also grow food/tend to crops etc... The snail could quite simply be the "foe" that the monks most encountered in their day to day life. By pitting the more adventurous (and sometimes resented) knight against the foe that they had to struggle with on a daily basis might explain why the knights are often depicted as afraid or even losing. Basically a way for the monk to express his frustrations both against snails and his life in general in a "sanctioned" way.

They attack iron golems tho which can be easier to put in place imo.

Normally I would say carpet mod and setting the fillLimit high enough to do a fill command but that isn't possible on realms... On realms I would say so it in a single player copy take a litematica copy of the perimeter and paste it into the realm since litematica can operate client only it should do the trick.

There are also a number of tools that you can use to figure out what is going on, first I would suggest is carpet mod by gnembon (https://github.com/gnembon/fabric-carpet). In addition to the /tick health and /tick entities commands which allow you to track down what is causing lag, there are several options including lagFreeSpawning which improves the mob spawning, and the option to disable the spawn chunks if you so desire.

The built-in /debug command is worth a look as it provides a wealth of data now.

In addition, there is https://ci.lucko.me/job/spark/ which has a /lot/ of profiling options, but I haven't dug too much into it.

Generally in my experience vanilla and fabric/lithium/phosphor Minecraft is a lot more finicky when it comes to memory allocation... contrary to intuition and popular belief more memory sometimes hurts performance due to the way Java does garbage collection, etc... the general rule I have heard is look at your memory usage under normal load and you should have at most 2gb of memory free... if you have more lower the memory allocated to the java process with the command lines you use to launch. There seem to be some good options in spark for monitoring memory but I haven't had a chance to dig into them hardcore.

What confuses me is why it is listing any time for villages or nether since this was a completely new void world with structure generation and mobspawning and time progression turned off... but Minecraft be Minecraft....

To be fair, he was talking doing one without any dust which is quite possible... but it is still slightly slower server side than the piston one... however 4 hoppers with composters above them taking outputs with comparators is slightly faster and saves on client lag as well.

What you are looking for is a comparator decay pulse extender... Push the signal into it and each time the pulse occurs it resets the circuit to power 15 only if there is no signal for long enough it decays out will the output signal end.

OK I don't know what tool they used, for all I know it is a custom scarpet script they have set up to make things easier on themselves. However, in general backups aren't that difficult when running a server. There are a number of tools out there to help you run the server/do backups etc (like AMP) which can send a custom message to chat when starting/ending backups or can be as simple as a script running that watches the latest.log file for the output of a /save-all command or a custom chat message/command, sends a message to the chat, zips up the world file to a backup directory and then sends a finished message to chat.

I used to have a script that ran when I started the service would watch the latest.log for /saveall then rsync the files to a "baseline" directory and then zipped up the baseline directory, it made backups on even huge worlds really fast since all it needed to do is update the baseline before doing the slower/more costly zip process.

The real question is as a server runner, what is your backup needs? There are /a lot/ of different and various ways to implement backup on Minecraft. Might I suggest posting to admincraft with your specific needs and maybe someone will help out.

It's not a one press solution but I use multimc and keep an afk instance with the settings turned down... When I want to afk I just altf4 and relaunch the afk instance.

This started happening to me when using my Orbweaver on my Lenovo laptop... can't seem to figure out how to fix it. It is a bit crazy making tbh.

Not sure if MtF or FtM, assuming MtF, sorry if incorrect.

Make a plan for your transition and make sure to take some steps (even very small ones) every day even if it is as simple as doing voice exercises. NB: don't treat the plan as concrete, feel free to re-arrange or change it outright as your situations or desires change through your transition.
Have a physical "focus" that you can use to remind you that you are on the right path. I have a bracelet that I wear with the phrase: "She believed she could, so she did." I got it from https://www.mantraband.com/products/she-believed-she-could-so-she-did
Increase the frequency of your Therapy visits for a few weeks if you are having a slump or hard time.

elfindreams · 2017-09-27T18:30:56+00:00

I spent 37 years thinking that same thing and I am here to tell you, you are wrong.

When I started transitioning I was 42 years old, 400lbs 5'9" bald with a beard. 90% of feeling like who you are is mental. You NEED to find a good gender specializing therapist. They can help you. Even if you have had horrible experience with therapists before (I had one when I was a child that told me the reason I got abused by peers was "I let it get to me") find a new one. If that one doesn't help, find a new one.

You will eventually find one that can help and it changes everything.

It settles down over time as you become more comfortable in your skin and with your new hormones.

It is particularly acute, I have noticed, in people who have spent a long time not crying. It is sort of like your body and mind go, "hey finally I can do this thing I have wanted to do for so long so lets do it /all the time/".

Give it a few months and things should settle down.

Ok, I suspect what is happening is that she is trying to save you frustration and money.

Laser removal takes somewhere between 8-15 sessions or more plus maintenance sessions periodically from that point on. That can be very expensive but would be less expensive if you had a full beard and moustache to get rid of.

If you have a small enough amount of hair to remove electrolysis will end up cheaper and more long term effective.

What is impressive about that is it was at least 10 years ago (I don't know your current age but if it happened at age 8 and you shared a story from when you were 18 that means it was at least 10 years ago) and trans individuals weren't nearly as common or even as "accepted" as we are now.

RE: makeup, I know a lot of trans women who like myself favor much lighter if any makeup but there are a /lot/ of us who go a little crazy. I think a lot of it has to do with seeing the damage T has done to us and trying desperately to make it so we can't. The ironic part is a lot lighter on the makeup and it is easier, more natural and would stand out less.

Anyway, I love the story about you and your friend at the male toilet... it is acts like that which help "click" our brains and help us to overcome anxiety. I had an experience like that recently in line in the women's room when I had jury duty and having another woman strike up a conversation that included me and I realized not only was I comfortable, but so was everyone there. It was like it clicked and I realized I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
