Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Tuesday, Patreon, Progress

The skip is gone and so is a lot of nonsense from our house. Huzzah.

We have an ice cream machine and my first attempt at making something cold and yummy was loaded with fail. Whee. I shall try again with a lot more reading ahead.

Later.

I have had a messed-up trapezoid muscle for literal DAYS. But now we have a microwave heat pack that is doing good things for me. Slowly. At least I can raise my hand above my head without twinges now.

Full free movement is going to take some time and re-application of the heat pack.

Today, I post Patreon things. Tomorrow, Beloved and I are having a Spa Day if I recall the order of things correctly. I will get a Wordpress work in there eventually.

No rush.

That's what I have to remember. No rush. This is not panic mode any more. This is not pinchpenny mode any more. We have money. We have time.

So we're going to take our time and get things right.

Starting with the daily tale.

Challenge #03368-I080: Unweapons Ready

A mixed class of Humans and other Deathworlders have joined a space marines corps within the Alliance. It's a lot harder than it looks, even for the Human cadets. -- Anon Guest

They say that war never changes, but the fields of conflict do indeed change. The arms race is one that cannot be won, only lost. Eventually, some smartarse invents the ultimate defensive capabilities and too much money is spent on looking for something that could get through it.

Firstly, the

Long Monday Once More Again

Somehow we managed to get a honkload of nonsense out of the house. The skip shall be going away today. With a full load of BS.

Today there is the Tale Foundry backup readings. Since the Foundry read my story on their stream, I shall be volunteering my reading skills to anyone too shy or too unpresent to read theirs.

We have new materials for the sullage system pipes and that will be going in at the end of the month. I

Challenge #03367-I079: Accomplished As Asked

They trick a CEO into signing over a planet that is extremely resource poor, about the same size as earth, and thanks to the CEO's hunting and fishing behaviors, almost completely devoid of wildlife. Once signed and delivered, the contract completely ironclad, they made sure of that, they immediately registered the planet under their name as an ALLIANCE planet, removing it from the Dereg empire altogether.

Then they got going renewing the wildlife and rebalancing the ecosystems. But this planet became a

Sunday, last day for unfuckening

The skip goes away tomorrow. That means that today is all we have to get the drifts of garbage out of the house.

It's also the day that I have the most irregular sleep schedule. Huzzah.

This is going to be "fun".

I will once more be streaming following the Tale Foundry readings.

Beloved had a lovely day out and the assembled peeps had a good old grouse about the state of politics. There was no gatekeeping, just a meeting of minds

Challenge #03366-I078: The Strawmen Are Fighting

“All women are QUEENS.”

“If she breathes she’s a THOT!” -- Anon Guest

Someone in the next booth turned about to face the arguing bros. "Thot? That's the type of woman who uses attractiveness to earn an income, right?"

"You can say ho' it's okay. We know all the words." They were relatively young men. Barely out of high school. The type of greasy pseudo-adulthood in which they knew they knew everything. Pitiful in their way.

"In a world where women

Saturday, Feast Day Out

Beloved is connecting with fellow LGBTIAQ+ people. In Mount Gravatt. So we have a smidge of a hustle to get there.

Fun times.

BUT also community is a good thing and I have to see if my nonbinary self is gatekept out of there. No hard feels. I kind'a feel a little bit like a poser when others have bigger problems.

Maybe I'll find someone else there who's also Gender Meh. Gotta give it a chance.

And now I have to get

Friday, Unfuckening and GREAT news!

Excellent news: The soup machine is a HIT!

It also apparently makes ice cream, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Right now, it has already made Beloved two large servings of... intense chicken soup. One was dinner, the other was set aside "for Ron". Aka Later-Ron.

A dad joke from a less civilised age, there.

I found a couple of resealable containers with steam vents, and they hold the right amount of soup. Huzzah.

I may be going out (AGAIN

Challenge #03364-I076: Disparity of Experience

A person develops an immense crush on Wraithvine and starts following hir around trying to ask them out on a date. -- Anon Guest

Love, as the Bards frequently say, is strange. Many people take it for a game. Not Wraithvine. Bernhardine Mev really should have known that. She also should have known that when a Human falls for an Elf, it never ends well for the Elf. It never ends well for the Human, either, but it generally takes them all

Thursday, Simple Exasperation

Beloved has complications with her digestion that has to do with her vagus nerve and diabetes, which may or may not be related to the troubles caused by one of her ex-meds.

A blockage in the stomach can cause spoilage which, in turn, causes diarrhea. Though the stuff I read about it was focused entirely on constipation.

I'm not sure, it wasn't explained to me properly.

Part of the cure involves a liquid diet "for a while" and Beloved has picked up

Challenge #03363-I075: You Made This Hell

A Deregger CEO, one who was CEO over all the other CEOs in a small empire ruling an entire solar system, four inhabited planets. Their blatant cruelties earned a cry of help from their people. That is why Sunshine and his apprentice Jay were here. To answer the call, and end the empire, their way. -- Anon Guest

Big Chief Dominic Roman liked to remind everyone that he was the Chief of Chiefs. The Commander of Chiefs. The owner of it all.

Wednesday, Wordpress, Unfuckening, and Nonsense

Yesterday was A Day(tm). The difference between "a day" and "A Day(tm)" is that during A Day(tm), you get slapped in the face by Murphy's Laws. A lot.

So. Firefox kept crashing because of a search engine famous to Windoze users for eating up processing power. And I lost all my browser windows and tabs. AND I had to rebuild the bare minimums and keep it down in future or suffer the consequences.

As a confessed tab hoarder, this

Challenge #03362-I074: Mutual Fascination

Lillicoon and Jay are out on their first date, the gardens are truly beautiful, and cafe' is nice. And, ah, these poor teens, so nervous, at least they're smiling.

From - https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03221-h312-sunshine-guide-and-guardian -- Anon Guest

A trained killer and a former gene-slave take a walk where there is beauty and butterflies. The conversation is awkward and stilted. Each are terrified but for the same reason. Neither is terrified of the other.

In all other ways, including the

Tuesday, Shrinkydinks

It's difficult to work this morning since Jolie is making it known that she really really missed me by getting between me and my keyboard. Poor thing.

I have a shrink visit today, so she's going to be more of a sad baby about the whole pack of noise, and it can't be helped because I NEED my shrink today.

It's been a frazzling time.

We're in the process of evicting all the garbage in our house. My work yesterday was sorting

Challenge #03361-I073: Curse Breaker

“The only way to break the prince's curse is by true love’s kiss.”

…

“Damn, y-you know the forehead would’ve been sufficient. I didn’t think you’ll go tongue deep.”

“Why didn’t you tell me then?!”

“I thought it would be more fun” -- Anon Guest

Prince Godomar Jishi Morosada Frotho Amawrahta Kantakouzene gasped for air as their -ahem- "close personal friend" put him back onto his feet. The blood rushing to his face prevented it from rushing to
