28th April 2025

Today, John, Rosie, and I went for a long walk in Regent’s Park. The weather was very nice, sunny and warm, and John wanted to distract me from the fact that I still don't have a case. And probably to keep me from filling the flat with the stench of burning fingers again. He told me to explain different plants to him and Rosie. Everything was blooming. So I showed them various plants and flowers and taught them how to identify them. I also showed them different kinds of bees that were buzzing around flowers. Bombus sylvarum, Apis mellifera and, Osmia bicornis. We then got some ice cream, sat on a bench, and they asked me to deduce passerbys. I challenged John and Rosie to try their own hand at deduction, and praised them, whenever they got something right. Or corrected them, when they got something wrong. Which, to my satisfaction, is becoming rarer. It seems they’re finally learning. At a particularly funny deduction from Rosie, about the horrible-looking hairpiece of a bald man, who was trying very hard to conceal that fact, I nearly choked on some ice cream. She called it ‘dead squirrel on the bald man's head’. Judging by the look on his face, he heard her. Which made me laugh even harder.

Yes_Man.NAR, Version 1.4.0

This update is on the smaller side with a more varied bunch of changes, but I'm deciding to release it early since the next update might take a couple months due to upcoming stuff! This update includes:

Weather Station integration! Open it either through the plugin menu on SSP's right click menu, or find it under Yes Man's 'function' menu! You MUST update him using the .NAR to have this feature, network updates will NOT install it. It's bundled with the .NAR due to using my own API key, and there are small changes to make sure degrees display properly in Yes Man's bundled balloon. This will also allow for future planned features in which Yes Man can comment on the current weather and other things!

Overhauled Yes Man's petting responses. Added in a lot of new ones and now what he says changes appropriately with how he feels about you.

Changes to Relationship System: I wanted getting to know him to take a bit longer, so values have been changed. If you already have him installed, it's going to change where you're at with him friendship-wise, and is not a bug. Made it to where romance points take longer to accumulate so you're befriending him before he gets romantic feelings for the user.

As always, full list of changes are in the changelog. As usual the link for new .NAR is [HERE], and like I said if you wish to use the weather station features, do not update him through network updates in SSP's menu! Switch to another ghost, drag the new .NAR over them like you did when you first installed Yes Man, when it asks if you want to overwrite the directory click 'yes', and then switch back, and he should be fully updated!

psst hey do u have any sdv mod reccs/any tips on how to use them 👀

yeah! so for stardew mods to work you need to first install the smapi api.

you can either do that through their main website or nexus

neither option has any cons theyre just based on preference on how you wanna install it but theyre both completely safe websites.

after you properly install smapi you’ll have to go to nexus which is the main website for all stardew valley mods. you’ll need to make an account to install stuff i believe. you can find a wide range of mods here that serve a lot of different purposes.

if you haven’t used nexus to mod before then as i mentioned before first make an account then once you are looking at a mod make sure to check the requirements first. sometimes mods need other mods to work and you need to install those first. after you checked the requirements you head to the files section and click manual download. after that select slow download then wait for it to install into your files. then you move those files into the stardew mod folder. if thats not clear enough you can find a bunch of tutorial videos on youtube with visuals:)

since you asked for my recs i’ll give you the list of which i actually use all the time.

NPC Map Locations

- very basic mod. majority of mod users will have this installed and it just shows you on the map where each npc is at at all times.

CJB Cheats Menu & CJB Item Spawner

- these two sorta go hand in hand for me but of course you don’t need to have both installed. this is definitely a play style preference thing but i personally like having these cheats installed for any type of situation that might happen in game that i can’t undo otherwise without them.

- the cheats menu adds a lot more flexibility and well cheats to the game so for instance: infinite health, infinite stamina, give yourself money, instantly increase hearts with whichever npc, always catch every fish, warp locations, change weather, change time, freeze time, and a lot more. this uses the P key to open in game but you can configure that to another bind if you’d like.

- the item spawner is a lot more simple. does what it says and spawns whichever item you want. so basically you can press the i key and it’ll open up a menu with every item in the game and you can spawn in the specific amount you want of something and so forth. simple concept. i mainly use this for when i accidentally sell or gift an item i wasnt intending to and then simply spawn it back in. i also use it for decorating my house:3

Look Up Anything

- this is literally like having the wiki at your disposal at all times in game. extremely helpful for so many reasons especially as i personally always had the wiki open to check for information on items and npcs so having this mod made it a lot quicker of a process. how it works is you simply hover your mouse over whatever you want information on and click f1 and it’ll display all the information about that thing to you! so if you hover over lets say harvey and press f1 it’ll show you a menu with his birthday, his love & like gifts, your hearts with them and how many points till the next heart, etc.

Seasonal Outfits

- this mod puts all the npcs in different outfits for the seasons. its just cute

Elle’s Seasonal Buildings & DaisyNiko’s Earthy Recolor

- the seasonal building allows a lot more variety in structures like farm building and adding holiday decor to npc buildings. simple stuff that can make the game more customized

- with seasonal buildings you can also install compatible recolors which is what the DaisyNiko’s link is. it’s the recolor i personally use for my main farm when i play. this is because the vanilla game is very saturated and does hurt my eyes so having more chilled out tones helps. you dont need to install the recolor i use or any in fact if you like the natural look of the game but just know the option is there and there’s a multitude of recolors you can use to make the game look different:3

Friends Forever

- no friendship decay because itsa pain in the ass and i have no time to talk to the npcs all day. this is very play style based some people enjoy having to go and ensure they speak to npcs daily im just not the type.

Part of The Community

- creates different ways for you to gain hearts easier and passively

Mailbox Menu & Zilch’s Envelopes

- i really like the letters and the fact you can only read them once bummed me out until i found this mod which adds a whole menu for your mail where you can go back and see all the letters you’ve received. feel like it adds that additional touch and care to the whole mail system in the game.

- then to go along with that menu theres the envelopes mod that customizes it even further and makes all the envelopes of the letters have cute appearances and designs. look at this and tell me that isn’t the best thing you’ve ever seen.

Honorable Mentions

- Chests Anywhere

- CJB Show Item Sell Price

in conclusion…

I really suggest just taking the time and scrolling through the nexus mods website on your own. they have a specific category for stardew and you can filter it by most popular and see what you find yourself. since everyone plays differently you might find you enjoy the more technical code side and want to change something to do with that or you might just simply wanna change the npc portraits and make them look nicer. theres so many options on how to mod this game and i honestly could go on forever with mod suggestions but at the end of the day its up to you! so hope this helps and i hope you have a fun time modding.

Streamily Signing with Jennifer Paz as Lapis Lazuli (Part 2)

Jennifer Paz signed some stuff for fans on the Streamily!

Jennifer says she's a little under the weather but she's happy to have showed up! She caught a bug from her husband and son.

She makes some references to Wicked and singing "Defying Gravity" with Deedee Magno Hall, and how they did some shoutouts for API Broadway performers.

Jen signs the first print with a favorite quote: "I just wanna go home." The next times she's asked to include a favorite quote, she uses "Maybe I'm not alone" and "I'd love to see your color shining through."

She points out that a lot of Lapis images show her looking like she's not sure what's going on, and it's understandable since she's been through so much trauma.

Jen mentions having a lot of brain fog during some of the recording sessions and doesn't remember some of the quotes she said. (She was asked to write a long quote from "Can't Go Back" on someone's signing sheet, and she didn't remember saying that for Lapis.)

She is asked to write a quote from "Mirror Gem" and considered writing "I'm Lapis Lazuli and you can't keep me trapped here anymore!" but instead wrote "I just wanna go home" (which is technically from "Ocean Gem").

Jen agrees that Lapis needed more songs but that two songs was enough for someone who was mostly focusing on healing.

She's excited to sign one of the prints with "I've felt worse" because it's one of her favorite lines. She also got excited to do "I'm Lapis Lazuli and you can't keep me trapped here anymore!"

She loved how you could see the growth of the original Lapis when contrasted with Nice Lapis and Mean Lapis in "Why So Blue?"

She agrees with a fan who wished Peridot and Lapis fused.

Canadian Wildfires: Impacts on the US AQI and Effective Measures to Mitigate Health Effects

Introduction

Wildfires are a natural phenomenon, but the frequency and intensity of these events have been increasing in recent years, driven by climate change and other factors. Canada, with its vast forests and wilderness areas, is no stranger to wildfires. These fires not only pose a significant threat to Canadian communities and ecosystems but can also have far-reaching consequences, including affecting air quality in neighboring countries like the United States. In this article, we will explore the impacts of Canadian wildfires on the US Air Quality Index (AQI), with a specific focus on New York City (NYC), and discuss effective measures to mitigate health effects. We will also provide information on how to access wildfire maps in Canada and utilize the Air Quality API to stay informed about air quality conditions.

The Canadian Wildfire Situation

Canada's vast landmass is home to numerous forests and wilderness areas, making it prone to wildfires, especially during the dry and hot summer months. The provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario are particularly susceptible to wildfires. In recent years, climate change has exacerbated wildfire risks by creating conditions conducive to longer and more intense fire seasons.

Wildfires can release massive amounts of smoke and particulate matter into the atmosphere. The smoke can travel great distances, affecting air quality in regions far from the fire's origin. This phenomenon is not limited to Canadian borders; it often impacts air quality in the United States, particularly in states located to the south of Canada.

Impacts on the US AQI

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardized measure used to communicate the quality of the air and the potential health risks associated with breathing it. When wildfires occur in Canada, the smoke they generate can be carried by prevailing winds into the United States, affecting AQI readings in various cities.

New York City (NYC) is one of the major urban areas on the eastern seaboard of the United States. While it may seem far removed from Canadian wildfires, it is not immune to their effects. The smoke from Canadian wildfires can reach NYC and lead to temporary spikes in the AQI. High AQI values can have serious health implications, especially for individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, the elderly, and young children.

In recent years, NYC has experienced instances where the AQI exceeded acceptable levels due to Canadian wildfires. This not only poses health risks but also necessitates public health advisories and action plans to protect vulnerable populations. It also highlights the interconnectedness of air quality across international borders and the importance of monitoring and responding to these events.

Accessing Wildfire Maps in Canada

One of the key steps in managing the impact of Canadian wildfires on US air quality is staying informed about the location and extent of wildfires in Canada. Fortunately, there are resources available to access up-to-date wildfire maps. When searching for such information, many individuals use the keyword "wildfire map Canada" to find the most relevant and current data.

Here are some resources and tips for accessing wildfire maps in Canada:

1. Government Websites: Both federal and provincial governments in Canada provide wildfire information on their official websites. Websites like Natural Resources Canada and provincial forestry agencies often have interactive maps that display active wildfires, their size, and containment efforts.

2. Mobile Apps: Many government agencies and organizations have developed mobile apps that provide real-time wildfire information. These apps often include features such as alerts, evacuation notices, and safety tips.

3. Wildfire Tracking Websites: Various websites like Ambee specialize in tracking wildfires across North America. These platforms aggregate data from multiple sources to provide comprehensive wildfire maps and information.

Utilizing the Air Quality API

To mitigate the health effects of poor air quality resulting from Canadian wildfires, it is crucial for individuals, especially those in affected regions like NYC, to stay informed about AQI readings. To cater to this need, organizations and individuals often rely on the Air Quality API to access real-time air quality data. When searching for AQI information for specific areas, the keyword "AQI NYC" is commonly used.

Here's how you can utilize the Air Quality API and make the most of it:

1. Mobile Apps: Many smartphone apps use the Air Quality API to provide users with real-time air quality information for their current location. Users can receive notifications when the AQI reaches certain thresholds, helping them take precautions.

2. Websites and Widgets: Several websites offer widgets that display AQI information for specific cities or regions. These can be embedded on personal websites or accessed directly for quick updates.

3. Alert Services: Some organizations and government agencies offer alert services that notify subscribers of significant changes in air quality, including spikes caused by wildfires. These alerts can help individuals take immediate action to protect their health.

Effective Measures to Mitigate Health Effects

When the AQI indicates poor air quality due to wildfire smoke, individuals should take steps to minimize exposure and protect their health. Here are some effective measures to consider:

1. Stay Informed: Keep track of AQI readings and follow local health advisories. Adjust your plans and activities accordingly, especially if you fall into a vulnerable category.

2. Limit Outdoor Activities: Minimize outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise, when the AQI is high. If you must be outside, try to do so during periods of lower pollution levels.

3.Use Air Purifiers: Consider using air purifiers with HEPA filters in your home, especially in bedrooms, to reduce indoor air pollution. Make sure to properly maintain them for optimal performance.

4. Seal Your Home: Keep windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering your living space. Use weather stripping to seal any gaps.

5. Use N95 Masks: If you need to go outside during poor air quality conditions, wearing N95 masks can help filter out fine particulate matter. Ensure that the mask fits snugly for maximum effectiveness.

6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as dry and smoky air can lead to dehydration.

7. Follow Medical Advice: If you have respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD, consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance and ensure you have an adequate supply of medications.

Conclusion

Canadian wildfires have far-reaching impacts, affecting not only Canada but also neighboring regions in the United States like New York City. Understanding the connection between these wildfires and the US AQI is crucial for public health and safety. By staying informed about wildfire locations through "wildfire map Canada" searches and monitoring AQI using "AQI NYC," individuals can take proactive measures to mitigate health effects. It is a collective responsibility to adapt to changing climate conditions, reduce the risk of wildfires, and protect our communities from the harmful consequences of poor air quality.

How I Customize Windows and Android

Windows: Rainmeter

Rainmeter Skins

Rainmeter | Deviantart

r/Rainmeter

Rainmeter is where I get nifty desktop widgets (skins). There are a ton of skins online and you can spend hours just getting caught up in customizing. There are clocks, disk information, music visualizers, weather widgets*, and more.

I get most of my skins from the links I posted, but they are by no means the only resources for Rainmeter skins. r/Rainmeter and Deviantart have some awesome inspiration.

This is what my desktop looks like right now:

Dock: Dock 2 v1.5

Icons: icons8 - this is probably the best free resource for icons I know of

"Good Evening [name]": Simple Clean

Clock: Simplony

* Note about weather widgets: Older Rainmeter skins that use old weather APIs will likely not work. The Rainmeter forums has information with lists of weather skins that do work.

Windows: Useful Things for Workflow

Flow Launcher - this is basically a search bar, app launcher, and even easy-access terminal all in one. The default hotkey is Alt+Space. I use this almost primarily to do quick calculations. There are a ton of plugins and I've barely scratched the surface with how I use it.

ShareX - This is my screenshot tool and I love it. Admittedly, I find it difficult to configure, but once I had it set up, I didn't really have to adjust it. You can create custom hotkeys to screenshot your entire screen, or to select your screen, or even use OCR. This has saved me a ton of time copying over text in images and making it searchable.

Bonus - Get Rid of Windows Web Search in the Start Menu: If you're comfortable with editing your registry, and you want to get rid of the pesky web results in Windows search, this fix is what I used to get rid of it.

Android: Nova Launcher

This is my main Android launcher that I've been using for almost as long as I've owned a smartphone, and it's super customizable. The best part is that it's free with no ads, and you can purchase premium at a one-time cost.

The main things I use it for are app drawer tabs, renaming apps, hiding apps, and changing the icons.

I've had premium for so long that I've forgotten what the features were, but looking at the website, the one feature I use is app folders.

This is what my phone homescreen and app drawers look like:

Time/Weather: Breezy Weather

Calendar: Month: Calendar Widget (I got this on sale for like 30 cents once but there are a plethora of good calendar apps out there)

Icons: Whicons - White Icon Pack

Advanced Customization

Further things to enhance your customization experience to look into include:

Flashing a custom Android ROM (e.g. LineageOS)

Give up on Windows & install Linux instead (Ubuntu is a good one to start with)

Android app modification: ReVanced apps (includes Tumblr), Distraction Free Instagram

Miscellaneous notes under the cut:

None of these links are affiliate links. These are all tools I happen to use on a daily basis and I'm not being paid to promote them.

Install Rainmeter skins and programs I recommend at your own risk. Before altering Windows, such as editing the registry, make sure you have everything backed up.

The Windows web search fix works on my Windows 11 machine. I don't know if it works for Windows 10, but I do know I was able to disable it in Windows 10 at some point, so your mileage may vary.

Install non-Play Store apps at your own risk. (Although in my opinion, open source APKs are less sketchy than some apps on the Play Store...) Always check where you're downloading APKs form!

The wallpaper for my desktop and phone are custom wallpapers I made myself.

(At the request of @christ-chan-official)
