    #Wss366 Gauge #TimeTravelAuthors Whatever

    Sumika passed her copy of Madousho Mōrō, aka Grimoire Obscuriea, to Seirei-onna. The firelight played across its pages as the shaman leafed through them. The turmoil reflected in her countenance while my mistress had told the story of Banchō Sarayashiki had faded, and it was hard to #gauge what she was thinking.

    She closed the volume, saying, “This is my book. A Nanban sorcerer gave it to me. A foreign thing but powerful. The spells I don’t recognize.”

    “There aren’t many,” Sumika said.

    “They will come with time if you are worthy.”

    “A plan. A plan,” I broke in. How long would these two fiddle-faddle? We had a mission to complete!

    “Yes, little one.” She leaned across the fire, reached out, and stroked my head.

    I froze, somewhere between terror and sheer bliss. My eyes rolled back as the ecstasy won out. Did I trust Mistress enough to allow her this pleasure? Umm… Warm… Fuzzy… Indeed, I could reward her that way.

    The shaman resumed, “As I said, you should find Osakabe-hime. I will teach you how to pass through the castle unobserved.”

    The old woman withdrew her hand and returned to her place. She opened Sumika’s grimoire and passed her fingers across a page. “Weave a straw cloak and follow these directions exactly. As long as you wear it, you’ll be invisible to most people. Osakabe-hime won’t be one of them.”

    “How can I make a straw cloak?” Mistress asked.

    “There is a shrine to Inari Ōkami in the town outside the castle. Tell the priest that Seirei-tsukai sent you and that you require a kakuremino.”

    “I am grateful.”

    “Wait, there’s more. There are risks involved when you’re dealing with one such as Osakabe-hime. She is a nine-tailed kitsune: powerful and wise. They say those who see her face die, and even if they don’t, she can manipulate their minds to do her bidding. Only a powerful person can withstand her. Knowing this, do you still wish to continue?”

    “Yes, please proceed,” Sumika said without hesitation.

  6. CW: Trainposting, non-standard gauges, misinformation

    Finnish gauge is just Russian gauge but with an 802.1Q VLAN tag.

  9. I've not knit w/ this yarn. But I have knit w/ plenty of her exclusive yarns & they're great. This line has natural color hair, *not dyed* but color sorted *all natural* alpaca (softer than wool).
    A woman-owned business, she has contracts w/ peruvian(?) #farmers (of #sheep #wool, #alpaca), & sorts, processes, & dyes the yarns overseas. Tons of #patterns (not for me, I make up my own), v popular site w cool #knitting #needles & kits. Lots of fine-#gauge #yarns, #socks. knitpicks.com/alfonse/p/27487

  10. Finland has its own rail gauge (almost the same as the Russian), but now with Finnish & Swedish NATO membership the scale seems to be tipping in favour of adding standard gauge rails to a few lines up in northern Finland starting at the connection to Sweden's railways.

  11. Fractional diffusion without disorder: Local gauge constraints in 2D induce robust, tunable #subdiffusion dynamics. Relevant for platforms like artificial spin ice and quantum simulators aiming to realize discrete link models and emergent #gauge theories:

  12. Home Assistant gauge card – manually defined colours

    This post fits to #TIL (Today I learned) category.

    The ‘normal’ way to define colours in a ‘gauge’ card is by defining severity from UI gauge settings. There are only 4 colours available in a sequence: blue, green, yellow, red:

    Standard colours are defined using UI by turning on ‘define severity‘ and then entering thresholds for green, yellow, red:

    But what if I want to define my own colours (e. g. green-yellow-orange-red)? Sometimes these colours doesn’t visually well represent the sensor value.

    Firstly I wanted to define themes but because it didn’t work in a first try, I gave up.

    Then I found out that Home Assistant gauge card help offers definining manual ‘segments’ for gauge card. So I switched to manual editing of a gauge and defined segments:

    cards:  - type: gauge    entity: sensor.ikea_vindstyrka_airquality_01_voc_index    needle: true    max: 500    name: VOC index - organske spojine    segments:      - from: 0        color: green      - from: 150        color: yellow      - from: 250        color: orange      - from: 400        color: red

    For me it was easier than defining and editing ‘themes.yaml’. Maybe I’ll use frontend themes next time.
