Sun in Sagittarius II (12/2-12/2023)
Sagittarius II covers 2-12 December 2023 — the season of Kore, the girl-goddess sent to be Hades' bride in the underworld. When she returns in the spring, she's Persephone, powerful and frightening. What part of yourself is still afraid of the dark?
The Sun enters Sagittarius II on December 2, 2023 at 6:16 am EST. Austin Coppock called this decan The Bridle, while T. Susan Chang named it Tensile Strength for its associations with the Tarot card the 9 of Wands (a card that the Golden Dawn and its associated orders called The Lord of Strength. The Sun will be here until December 12.
I wrote about Sagittarius II in 2019, 2020, 2021, and…

Comprehending the Tensile Strength Of The Paper
Measured using tensile strength testing equipment, the tensile strength is among the most significant factors, that define the strength and durability of the paper. Undoubtedly, it is among the most vital physical properties of paper/board that manufacturers must calculate before sending out their paper products. It refers to the elongation of paper or the ability of the paper to withstand stretch before finally ripping down.
When tested on the tester, the operator determines the maximum stress that is required to break the paper specimen. Based on the direction of the fiber, the tensile strength of the paper may vary. In other words, the tensile strength of the paper is measured in two different directions, machine direction, and cross direction. This is because the fiber orientation is different between both these directions, hence it gets necessary to measure tensile strength in both of them.
What is machine direction?
Machine direction refers to the direction of the web of the paper, which runs on the machine during the process of papermaking. The tensile strength is greater in the machine direction than in the cross direction.
What is the cross direction?
Cross direction refers to the direction of the paper web that is perpendicular to the paper, running on the specimen during the papermaking process. The tensile strength is lesser in the cross direction than in the machine direction.
The tensile strength of the paper typically depends on the following factors:
Length of the fibers
Strength of the fibers
Degree of the fiber refining
The direction of the fiber (as stated above)
Quality and quantity of the fillers used.
Besides the above factors, the bonding between the fibers also affects the tensile strength of the paper. Measured using a bond testing machine, the internal bonding strength of the paper is a significant factor that determines a lot about the paper, its quality, and durability, hence, the tensile strength.
The determination of the tensile strength is important for the paper to be strong and sustainable in difficult situations. It is also vital to serve the desired purpose for which it is crafted. Hence, manufacturers must rely on the best testing machines for tensile testing, that are available at UEC.

We can demonstrate the tensile strength of water by placing it in a clean glass syringe (Figure 3.6).

I knew what everybody else was going to do for this prompt, but decided to mix it up rather than post the ol' First Meeting trope
(It works out well because tomorrow's prompt…)
Word Count: 600
Character bios in my pinned post.
CWs: None that I can think of at all.

How long could she go without mentioning it? Clearly Patch hasn't said anything, but he has to know that she knows, right? Maybe it's not… as weird for him? Is she being insensitive?
Mel tried to bring it up gently a few times, asking him about his little pulleys he'd set up. Except for the… odd material choice, it was actually pretty detailed. It only made sense, as the small creature had been working on it for practically the entire month he had been here. It was a platform, almost like a cable car, stretching from the countertop where his outlet room was, to the floor. Supporting it was an almost impressive amount of engineering, considering it was mostly made of office supplies and a few nails. And…
Okay, I have to at least ask him, Melody thought as she walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Patch, are you around? Do you have a minute?"
They knew from the light outside his room that he was home, but it was still polite to ask. She could hear rattling around in his room, before he showed up, a strange guilty expression on his face.
"Listen, I need to ask you about something that's bothering me. Nothing wrong! You're not in trouble! Just, uh…" Melody stammered, trying to think of the words.
"So… I know you like to, y'know… find your little materials wherever you can. And that's fine! I support that, and I support you. I've even ignored it when you take stuff from me, you know?"
Mel could tell by the nervous look her tiny roommate was giving that he had an idea where this was going. They took a deep breath and composed themself before getting to the point. "But dude, we gotta talk about my hairbrush, though. Really?"
Patch instantly got nervous, eyeing the rope he had installed recently. He turned to Melody and gave his best look of fake confusion and a shrug, to her amusement. For as long as she has known him, Patch has worn his heart on his sleeve, he couldn't lie to save his life.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Patch. Unless you just happened to find rope in my exact hair color? After my brush mysteriously cleaned itself? Is there really… you could have like… asked me for help, or… something. There are materials that would be so much better… and less… from my body?"
Mel seemed to be at a loss for words, which was unfortunate since she usually had enough words for the both of them. Patch was nervously fidgeting with one of his ears, completely flustered as he realized that Melody must consider this a faux pas of some sort. Finally, the human awkwardly spoke again.
"Listen, I gotta head out to work… but look, I… don't feel like you have to take everything down, I don't want you to destroy all of your hard work, just… going forward…?"
After a second that felt like a year, they both nodded in an awkward agreement at this compromise. "Cool, I'll… see you later, then."
Melody went off to work, and Patch resumed his renovations to Mel's counter, considering what changes would be needed to uninstall the current ropes and find a substitute that would offend his roommate less. Later that evening, Melody wordlessly placed two rolls of dental floss by Patch's little improvised door. One the classic white, and one a teal color, reminiscent of her hair color.
