How to Clear System Cache in Windows 10/11
In this article, we’ll demonstrate how to clean the system cache and temporary files in the Windows 10/11 operating system.
Windows maintains a cache of temporary files to improve system performance, much like any other operating system. This cache may swell and develop issues over time. The good news is that clearing the system cache in Windows is…
I don't like how the birthdays from stardew valley are set up in the real world. Like most of December is in the fall according to the solstice but Sebastian's birthday is winter 10 and we've decided it's December 10th.
Nah, let's give all the characters accurate birthdays in accordance with the seasons.
I'll set it up 2 ways:
1. Taking the earliest dates of each solstice and equinox that defines the seasons and dividing that by 28 (number of days in a stardew valley season) then multiplied that number by the NPC's bday (I'll explain the math later)
2. Taking the average amount of days in-between each IRL season and dividing that by 28
Earliest dates are as follows:
Spring March 19
Summer June 20
Autumn September 21
Winter December 20
The length of each season in this method is
91 days for spring
93 days for summer
90 days for fall
90 days for winter
The average days in between is 91.5 days.
Dividing by 28 we get
3.25 Spring
3.32142857 Summer
3.2142857 Autumn / Winter
3.267857142857143 Average
These numbers are the difference between our real world dates and stardew valley dates
Our season are about 90 days long, their's are 28 days so
1 day for stardew players is about 3 days for us.
Now that we have these numbers let's find out how each day correlates to each villager.
It will be in order of earliest birthday to latest and will follow this format

My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:
I'm taking Marty on the road! I'll be visiting eighteen cities between now and June, and I hope you'll come out and say hello, visit a beloved local bookseller, and maybe get a book (or two)!

Song Lan had known she’d married into the Lan – it was obvious – but he’d thought it was some not so bright cultivator that had been bewitched by her pretty face, or possibly literally bewitched, which he’d already decided wasn’t any of his damn business. If some stupid Lan wants a terrifying and amoral demonic cultivator for a wife, then good luck to them. Except they obviously don’t know she’s a demonic cultivator, considering their clan’s history with the original. But again, not his business, not his problem. His first priority is Xiao Xingchen and if Mo Xuanyu is going help him, then he really doesn’t care about who she’s terrorizing in her spare time.
Except it appears he’d underestimated her.
Because she’s apparently Jin Xuanyu now, legitimized and married off to the second most eligible bachelor in the cultivation world, superseded only by his brother who’s been unofficially off the market for over a decade.
Hanguang Jun had lived as a widower and Song Lan had been convinced he was going to die as one. Uncharitably, he wonders if maybe Lan Wangji just has a type, then feels bad about it in the next moment.
She orders Sect Leader Lan around and he lets her. She glares Hanguang Jun down.
To say absolutely nothing of the way she’d taken down Xue Yang. And then given him that dubious honor of taking credit for the kill, likely because she didn’t want to try and explain to her family how she’d managed it.
She had been clever and dangerous as a teenager. She’s managed to vault herself from disgraced bastard daughter to wife of the heir to the Lan and the legal mother to the third in line who will likely be the one actually succeeding Lan Xichen.
Jin Xuan – Xuanyu is a friend. She has very firmly shown herself to be a friend, helping him and protecting Xiao Xingchen and showing what certainly looks like genuine kindness to the girl who’d helped them, A-Qing.
Possibly she’s done all this to ensure their silence over what she used to be, what she is, but if so then it’s been successful. Betrayal would be a poor repayment for everything she’s done. The Lan hadn’t helped him or Xiao Xingchen. She had. The Lan can take care of themselves and if they can’t withstand the machinations of one woman, they deserve what they get.
Xiao Xingchen hasn’t said much, and Song Lan owes him so many apologies, but not here in front of everyone. He at least agrees to fly with him without much fuss. It will be difficult for him to fly with all three of them for any significant distance, but A-Qing asks Xuanyu to fly with her and she agrees with a smile.
Lan Sizhui doesn’t seem particularly thrilled, but he apparently is far too respectful of his step mother to disagree with her.
They’re flying back the inn when Xiao Xingchen presses himself back against his chest and tilts his head back to say, “Song Lan.”
It’s been so long since he’s heard Xiao Xingchen say his name. He has to swallow before he says, “Yes?”
“That’s,” he starts, then stops. “Who was that?”
“Who?” he asks. “We’re traveling with the Lans.”
“The woman,” he says.
His lips tug down into a frown but he tries not to panic. He’s been under charms to confuse and dull his senses for months. “That was Mo Xuanyu.”
If he’s already confused, getting into her legitimization probably won’t help anything.
Xiao Xingchen is silent for a few more moment. Then he asks, “Are you sure?”
What on earth. “Who else would she be?”
“She moves like – and sounds – but. It can’t. She’s – different,” he says.
As wonderful as it is to hear him speaking, Song Lan wishes he were saying less worrying things. “It’s been a long time since we saw her last. She’s grown up and married. Of course she’s different.” He squeezes his arms around Xiao Xingchen’s waist, hoping it’s not too presumptuous when they haven’t discussed anything yet. “It’s okay, after everything that’s happened this all must feel very sudden. Xuanyu is the one that found you. We can trust her.”
He thinks they can trust her. They can trust her more than any other sect cultivator, which granted isn’t saying much.
Xiao Xingchen relaxes against him. “Alright. If you say so.”

a yelp leaves your mouth at hearing the news
no.
there’s no way
God please
you almost drop to your knees but instead bend over to hold onto your nightstand
you shake your head like a maniac. “no, that’s impossible, mom. he hasn’t had one in 10 months, the doctors said he’d grown out of it!” you wiggle out of your bathrobe and throw a shirt on, a stark contrast in the things that you’re saying
yoongi looks concerned, very concerned as he reaches for his jacket and keys, copying you
just by your words, he knows what this is about
“stop arguing with me and get here! 3rd floor.”
that’s the last you hear of your mom before she hangs up
you freeze
phone in your hands drops to the floor with a loud clatter as you bend over and let out a blood curdling scream
yoongi instantly reaches for you and holds you tightly as he shakes your frame slightly. “jun needs us right now. we need to go.”
you take a deep breath in as you try to calm yourself and glance up at him
his own hands are shaking
his own throat is dry
his own eyes are wide in horror
but he’s staying calm to keep you calm
you quickly nod your head and sniff as you head into the hallway, not even taking a jacket as you forcefully shove your feet into some slippers and reach for the keys that are tossed onto the accent table by your front door
you swing the door open and strut out, hitting the elevator button repeatedly but giving up and heading for the stairs
yoongi appears behind you after you hear your apartment door shut loudly
he drapes a coat over your shoulders once you reach the ground floor and he pulls you to his car. “i’ll drive us there.”
he went and got you a coat when you rushed out the door
:(
you don’t protest as you get into the passenger seat
yoongi gets into his car quickly after and sighs softly. “put your seatbelt on.”
you fumble with the belt as yoongi puts on his own and quickly accelerates onto the road
it doesn’t take long for him to reach the hospital your mother works at
he parks messily by the entrance and you both jump out of the car as you run into the hospital
heading for the elevators, like a prayer was heard, there’s one wide open
you hop right into it with yoongi by your side and slam the 3rd floor button impatiently, panting loudly
when you keep doing it, yoongi grips your wrist and pulls it back. “hey, hey. what did we learn?”
he makes you look at him
and you do
you take a deep breath in through your nose and breathe out of your mouth
he nods in encouragement, slightly bending his knees to be eye level with you
“that’s it. again.”
you obey
“again.”
you obey.
by the time you want to do it a 4th time, the doors open and you’ve arrived on the third floor
you run up to the lady behind the counter to demand the location of your son but before you can do that, you hear your mother calling your name
you turn to look at her and notice she’s in her nurse uniform
you run up to her with yoongi in your wake and she walks you to jun’s room
as you approach the room, you see him
your son
your sun
your life
jun sits upright on the bed, holding an airplane toy, playing with it
this is when the tears finally burst out of you
you run up to him in his bed and pick him up
hugging his tiny, frail body, not caring about all the wires attached to him
“oh, baby. i love you so much. i love you so much. mommy was so scared.”
you sniff as you set him down again, happy to see him be himself once again
“mommy, no crying. more toys.” he says, attempting to wipe your tears with his fists
you hear yoongi and your mother chatting in the back for a little while as yoongi approaches you and jun
he kneels besides jun’s bed and ruffles through his hair. “how’s my little dumpling?”
he spends some time chatting with jun whilst you turn to look at your mom
“they wanna keep him overnight. him having a seizure after he supposedly has grown out of them is enough to do some more research and tests.”
you shake your head. “then i’m staying.”
“baby, you look a mess. i’ll be here with him. you need to go home and sleep.”
“i don’t want to go home, mom. i’m not leaving my child in a hospital all alone overni–”
“he’s not alone, he’s with me. i promise he’s in good hands, especially since i’m overlooking him as well. you have nothing to worry about.” your mom reaches out to rub your shoulders
you deeply sigh. you really don’t want to leave jun
“as of now, he’s completely back to normal, everything’s okay. nothing’s out of the ordinary. it’s like it didn’t even happen. they just want to make sure and run some more tests. i’ll bring him to you myself tomorrow. he needs to sleep now.”
you rub your forehead in frustration and glare at the ceiling.
you turn to look back at jun, approaching him and yoongi and listening in on their talk mid-convo
“and then, i yelled ‘aren’t you spiderman?’ and he looked at me. waved and told me to keep quiet before he disappeared again. we’re pretty much friends now. do you want to meet him one day?”
you hear yoongi telling one of his bullshit stories that jun loves and watch jun eagerly nodding his head
“okay, i’ll ask if you can meet him. but you’re gonna have to be a good boy, okay? spiderman doesn’t like bad kids.”
jun nods again and claps his chubby hands in excitement
you kneel next to the bed as well and explain the situation to yoongi
“yeah, your mom told me.” he rubs jun’s cheeks as his small hands play with the airplane’s wings
you sigh and rise to your feet. “i at least want to stay until he falls asleep.”
“he’s not going to sleep if you two are here,” your mother interrupts
“then why did you even ask me here?”
your mother says, “i didn’t know he was going to wake up. he was sound asleep until 10 minutes ago.”
you know you trust your mom with your son
your mother is a nurse and you’re happy he was with her when it happened, at least
you rub your hairline and look over to jun. “mommy’s gonna make your favorite tomorrow, okay? then we’ll have loads of sweets. you okay with that?” you whisper to him, pressing your lips to his forehead
he nods his head as he continues to play with his airplane
“okay. be good to grammy, okay?” yoongi asks him whilst caressing the back of jun’s head
jun simply nods again and then yawns
your heart aches
you really don’t want to leave
“c’mon,” yoongi whispers to you when he notices you refuse to move an inch
you sniff quietly. “give me a second.”
he grants your wish.
after a few more moments you turn to your mom. “please, put spongebob on for him. he’ll fall asleep right away if he keeps watching now.”
your mother nods and hugs you
yoongi bows his head to her and kisses her forehead before exiting the room with you by his side
jun’s not even paying attention to you once the tv shows spongebob, his big eyes focused on the tv that hangs from the ceiling
you sigh shakily before exiting the building in silence
the ride home is silent too
and upon arriving home, yoongi doesn’t unbuckle his seatbelt when he parks in front of your apartment building
doesn’t turn off the engine either
ah
you move to unbuckle your seatbelt really slow
yoongi is the first to break the silence. “i’ll come for dinner with jun tomorrow too, if that’s okay.”
you simply nod as you let go of the seatbelt and listen to it snap back in place
and it’s quiet again
really quiet
you don’t want him to leave
so
are you
gonna do it?
yes
or no?
to be continued.

Traditional tarot timing correspondences
WANDS - rapid action(hours to days), noon and spring
SWORDS - quick but not as fast as wands(days to weeks), morning and spring
CUPS - somehow slow( weeks to months), evening and autumn
PENTACLES - the slowest of all(months to years), midnight and winter
you can do it in a calendar spread and look for the first card that is the most representative(THE LOVERS, 2 OF CUPS, 9 OF CUPS - wish card, any of THE KNIGHTS, ACE OF CUPS) - in case if you wonder if a relationship will appear in future
the first card will represent the current month when is possible for the relationship to start/appear
if 2 of Cups is the 5th card - a relationship will appear in 5 months from now
you can also look at what sign the card represents and the relationship can start in that sign period

Lots of lower numbers - long time
8, 9, 10 - rapid conclusion
Using the numbers of the minor arcana it can be an indicator of when an approaching event may be likely to happen. By using a simple mathematical formula, we can arrive at a projection. number + suit = timing
For example, if the outcome card is the 2 of Wands, we could deduce the following: 2 + days = 2 days
This may suggest the event may happen in two days, or that it will last for two days.
