Tiny Grammar Cheatsheet: When to Use Hyphens for Compounds
Compound: two words used together
ā£ terms can move between the form of compound, usually reflecting frequency of usage: base ball (open compound) ā base-ball (hyphenated compound) ā baseball (closed compound)
There is no set answer for when to use hyphens. The Merriam Webster Dictionary reports that they often only have one variation in their database, but that does not mean others aren't used or are wrong.
ā£ Examples of formerly hyphenated compounds: shoelace, postcard, rattlesnake, doorknob...
ā£ But even constructs related to each other can differ: backyard ā¤ front yard
ā Remember that language is a fluid construct!
There still are some loose rules you can follow to get a general grasp on what will probably be accepted. A compound is (typically) hyphenated when:
ā£ a noun is being modified with a compound adjective ending in a participle: a sun-bleached roof
(Hyphens are not used for the adverbial -ly ending: lightly salted peanuts)
ā£ a usually open compound modifies another noun: He loves science fiction, he is actually is going to a science-fiction convention soon.
(Exceptions possible if terms are common enough: real estate agent)
ā£ listen to your gut and see what feels and looks right. Maybe if it is a term specific to a field, see how others in said field use it.
ā£ Note that using or not using a hyphen may reveal how (un)familiar you are with a term, which may carry connotations you did not intend for
ā¢ Every plot begins with a sparkāa question, a concept, or a character. Build from that seed.
ā¢ How? Ask, "What excites me about this story?" and focus your energy there.
ā¢ Example: A story about a magical curse could explore themes of redemption or betrayal.
2. Brainstorm freely
ā¢ Donāt start by thinking about structure. Instead, write down every idea you haveāplot points, character traits, world detailsāwithout judgment.
ā¢ How? Use mind maps, lists, or āwhat ifā questions to expand your ideas.
ā¢ Example: āWhat if two rival kingdoms were forced to unite to stop a shared enemy?ā
3. Map out key events
ā¢ Divide your plot into beginning, middle, and end, and identify major turning points. These events should shape the characterās journey.
ā¢ How? Use the three-act structure, or simply think in terms of setup, confrontation, and resolution.
ā¢ Example:
Beginning: A thief steals a sacred artifact.
Middle: The artifact begins to curse them, forcing them to seek help.
End: They must choose between keeping the artifactās power or destroying it.
4. Plan with cause and effect
ā¢ Immersive plots follow logical progression. Ask yourself: āWhat happens because of this event?ā for every key moment.
ā¢ How? Make sure each event impacts the characters or world.
ā¢ Example: A hero saves a village ā the village leader reveals a secret about the heroās past ā this drives the hero to confront their estranged parent.
5. Flesh out your subplots
ā¢ Subplots add depth and make your world feel real. Tie them to the main plot for maximum impact.
ā¢ How? Use subplots to explore secondary characters, add emotional stakes, or introduce twists.
ā¢ Example: While on a mission to defeat a villain, the hero struggles to repair their broken friendship with their ally.
6. use story beats to stay organized
ā¢ Break your story into smaller moments: inciting incident, midpoint twist, climax, resolution.
ā¢ How? Write one sentence for each beat to outline the flow of your story.
ā¢ Example:
Inciting incident: A cursed item bonds to the protagonist.
Midpoint: They discover the curse is tied to a powerful enemy.
Climax: They must sacrifice their freedom to destroy the curse.
7. Think of immersive twists
ā¢ Twists keep readers engaged and make your story unforgettable. They should feel earned, not random.
ā¢ How? Ask, "What would surprise the reader but make sense in hindsight?"
ā¢ Example: The mentor helping the hero turns out to have caused the conflict in the first place.
8. Build emotional stakes
ā¢ Plot isnāt just about eventsāitās about how those events affect your characters. The stakes should feel deeply personal.
ā¢ How? Tie the plot to your protagonistās fears, desires, and growth.
ā¢ Example: A hero whoās afraid of failure is forced to lead a mission where the cost of failure is catastrophic.
9. Create a planning routine
ā¢ Writing immersive plots takes time and refinement. Set aside regular sessions to brainstorm, refine, and test your ideas.
ā¢ How? Use tools like storyboarding, sticky notes, or apps like Scrivener to organize your ideas.
ā¢ Example: Start each session by reviewing your previous notes, then tackle one section of your plot.
10. Test your plot
ā¢ Once youāve mapped out your story, summarize it to see if it holds together. Does each event flow logically? Are the stakes clear?
ā¢ How? Share your outline with a friend or writerās group for feedback.
ā¢ Example: āA reluctant hero must destroy a magical artifact to save their world, but doing so will cost them their memories.ā

Boredom is so important for creativity. We spend our lives constantly inundated with entertainment. Phones in our pockets with games and apps that function like tiny computers. TVs in every waiting room, restaurant, and living room. Music on every radio, computer, and phone. It's everywhere. And we've been trained to think that boredom is bad so we are constantly seeking more and more stimulation.
But boredom is actually necessary for creativity. Our brains need that rest in order to get really primed to create some great shit. It's why we think of the best lines of dialogue in the shower, the best scenes right before we fall asleep. You have to stop feeding your mind constant stimuli if you want to be able to create art of any kind.
And sure, other media is great for inspiration. Everything has its place and time. But if you're sitting there trying to write or draw or sculpt or whatever with the TV on, music blaring, a game on your phone and no ideas will come to you, turn it off. Whatever it is, turn it off. Embrace the boredom. Let your mind wander. It takes practice, but it's worth it. I promise.
Hey people who have several pets, with obvious differences in intelligence levels: How did you figure out that one of them is smarter than the other? What do they do?
There are a lot of things that lead me to think my elder cat is unusually intelligent compared to other felis domesticus I have known (understands pointing, can open every door and cabinet in the house except the ones with round knobs or that I added child locks to, understands enough English to know from a phone conversation that a stranger is coming to the house) but in terms of specifically comparing one to the other, there was The Case Of The Mousey Puzzle Box.
When we got our younger cat Skadi, her favorite toy was (still is, but she's calmed down with age) the rattley mouse. She would bring the mouse to be thrown for fetch so many times that not even two human adults in the house could keep up with her. So my partner started making puzzle boxes to put the rattley mouse in that would occupy her for longer.
So, we have a setup: mouse is in the puzzle box, puzzle box is on the floor, younger cat is trying to resolve the puzzle box, elder cat is sitting on the cat tree observing all this. Skadi spends about fifteen minutes trying and failing to get the mouse out of the box. She sticks her paw into the holes. She sticks her nose into the holes. She pushes the box to and fro on the carpet. She meows beseechingly for a human to come solve the problem. Sticks her paws into the holes again.
Finally, she gives up on the puzzle box and wanders over to see if there's any food to be had. As soon as she walks away the elder cat gets up from the cat tree, big stretch, jumps down, walks over to the puzzle box, hooks a paw under the edge and flips the whole thing over, spilling the mouse onto the floor.
Gives the younger cat a look of utter disgust as if to say "That's all you had to do!" and then walks away, utterly uninterested in actually playing with the toy.
Just off the top of your head, don't need to try and look it up to check out anything:
Can you name a web search engine that you used before Google?
Yes
No
Don't know/just want to see the results
Remaining time: 6 hours 6 minutes
The book I'm reading suggests that Google became so market dominant that most people couldn't name a search engine that came before it, so I'm curious.

Unrequited LoveĀ - occurs when a person falls in love with someone who does not return the admirer's feelings (in psychology).
The object of affection rejects the would-be lover's pursuit or
may be unaware of the admirer's romantic interest.
Unrequited love is associated with:
idealized notions of romance, but
it inevitably ends in heartbreak.
Would-be lovers struggle with unfulfilled yearning, while
beloved individuals must discourage unwanted advances.
The unreciprocated attraction can hurt an individual'sĀ self-esteem.
Unrequited lovers can cope by:
accepting the reality of the situation,
acknowledging rejection, and
limiting communication with the object of their affinity.
Unrequited love is an enduring theme in literature. Popular examples include:Ā Cyrano de Bergerac, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Gone with the Wind.
There are 2 sides to unrequited love.
The unrequited lover harbors romantic feelings for a potential partner. Admirers long for the object of their affection and indulge in romantic fantasies. They hope one day that the pair will start a relationship.
However, the beloved does not feel the same way, turning down the admirer. Some recipients never know the unrequited lover's true feelings.
The concept of unrequited love goes back to ancient times:
In the Egyptian civilization's writing system, called hieroglyphics, the symbol for love translated to "a long desire."
One of the most famous examples of unrequited love in history involves medieval Italian poetĀ DanteĀ and his muse, Beatrice Portinari.
Dante fell in love with Portinari at first sight when she was only 9 years old, but the poet was promised to marry someone else.
After Portinari's death in 1290, Dante chronicled his secret love for her inĀ La Vita NuovaĀ in 1295.
She also appears as his guide through Heaven inĀ The Divine Comedy, completed in the early 1320s.
Unrequited love can manifest itself in different ways.
It can start as a crush,
which develops into a long-standing infatuation.
Admirers may desire someone from a distance, never telling the individual about their romantic feelings.
Conversely, unrequited lovers may relentlessly pursue the object of their affection, making their intentions known.
There are 2 main paths to unrequited love.
The attraction can be based on an existing connection or
the pursuit of someone more desirable.
Most often, unrequited love grows out of platonic friendships.
One friend may feel an underlying attraction toward the other.
It can develop in the workplace when a coworker has feelings for another employee.
It can spring up when a former flame wants to rekindle a romance.
Unrequited love can also occur during a mutually satisfying relationship when a person decides to leave, but the other individual is still in love.
Admirers may encounter unrequited love when they find someone more attractive than they are.
The person may possess physical qualities or personality traits that appeal to the would-be lover.
Pursuers may be drawn to the individual's beauty, sense of humor, or intelligence.
Unrequited love is quite common.
According to a 1993 study by psychologist Roy Baumeister, 98% of the participants said they had experienced unrequited love.
Men are more likely to fall for someone who does not return their affection, the study found.
Unrequited love is full of emotional highs and lows.
The experience can be painful for both admirers and the objects of their devotion.
Unrequited lovers sustain their passion for their beloved through hope.
They are optimistic the objects of their affinity will one day love them back.
Eventually, however, the admirers become disillusioned, realizing their efforts are fruitless.
The failure to pursue the one they love can leave unrequited lovers feeling hurt, humiliated, and depressed.
The stinging defeat of rejection can erode their self-confidence.
Most stories about unrequited love focus on the agony of the admirer, but the recipient also suffers:
At first, the objects of unwanted affection are initially flattered by the would-be lovers' attention.
However, as time goes on, the beloved must deflect unsought advances.
The recipient may become frustrated by the unrequited lover's persistent pursuit.
Recipients of unrequited love also feel guilty for wanting to reject their suitors, but they are afraid of hurting their feelings.
Instead of spurning them outright, the beloved individuals may avoid telling their pursuers the truthāthat they do not share their romantic interestāand hope the infatuation fades.
To lessen the blow during rejection, the beloved individuals may also sugarcoat their words, saying they are not interested in a relationship at the current time.
However, this strategy can backfire:
The appeasing language may give the would-be lovers just enough hope to hang on to the possibility of a future romance.
In extreme cases, admirers' unrequited love can turn into obsession andĀ stalking.
Unrequited love results in unhappiness and heartbreak. Admirers can cope with doomed relationships in 3 ways:
First, unrequited lovers must accept the reality of the situation. Pursuers must admit the objects of their devotion do not love them back. It does not mean the unwanted suitor is undeserving or unattractive.
Second, admirers must acknowledge rejection and the feelings that accompany it, including sadness and loneliness. They may realize they were not the right partner for their beloved, and vice versa.
Finally, unrequited lovers should minimize contact with the recipients of their affection. They are mourning the loss of a relationship they never had, but keeping in touch could keep the hope of having one alive. A clean break allows the admirer to move on from the infatuation.
Unrequited love is a common theme in literary works.
French dramatist Edmond Rostand's 1897 playĀ Cyrano de BergeracĀ follows the noble soldierĀ Cyrano, a gifted poet in love with his beautiful cousin Roxane.
Cyrano, ashamed of his large nose, helps the handsome cadet Christian woo Roxane by writing romantic poetry to her under Christian's name.
InĀ The Hunchback of Notre Dame, written by French author Victor Hugo in 1831, deformed hunchback Quasimodo falls in love with the stunning gypsy Esmeralda after she shows him kindness.
After Esmeralda is hanged, Quasimodo kills the priest responsible for her death.
American writer Margaret Mitchell's epic 1936 novelĀ Gone with the WindĀ follows selfish Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara, who is in love with the mild-mannered Ashley Wilkes.
Ashley loves his cousin Melanie, but he does not fully reject Scarlett's feelings, which she hangs on to despite her many marriages.
The romance was adapted into a cinematic masterpiece in 1939.
Unrequited love is a phenomenon that almost everyone experiences. As people search for true love, they will likely encounter unrequited love and the heartbreak it brings on the way to finding a lasting relationship.
Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.
This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.
Iāve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume itās a fair bit better.)

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.
I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said āOh you think you know? Check this shitā and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe
You're basically doing the post equivalent of standing out in a field during a storm with a ten-foot copper pole, you better hope Zeus is busy hiding from Hera.
