there's something in Challengers with Patrick teaching Art how to jerk off and also by extension just him encouraging Art to enjoy things about their lives from everyday guilty pleasures like cigarettes and churros and then even to Tashi herself, being the first to direct Art's eye towards her and actively pursue her and fall so deeply in love with her. Patrick showed Art how to love. himself, his life, Tashi. he is Art's frame of reference for love

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

Limits of bone and flesh construction theorems

Harrow can build entire skeletons from just fragments. She accomplishes that by making the already differentiated bone cells become less differentiated, and with that they can become the many types of tissues from the skeletal system. Her marrow soup plan worked probably because she could skip the step of reprograming the cells, and the reason is that there are adult stem cells in the marrow, that is, less specialized cells that can create all the bone tissues.

With the little we see of Ianthe doing flesh necromancy pre-lyctorhood, she needs to use samples of Babs flesh and blood (she bit a chunk of his hand). So I think it works in a similar manner to bone magic. That's also how Gideon could get her tooth implanted back by the nuns, they used flesh and bone necromancy to fix the root and tooth.

What they can't do is reprogram a cell and make it like a embryonic stem cell. That's why I think the embryos Mercymorn made (with necromancy) died.
