Imagine Loki overhearing a rumor that you, his own wife, are planning to murder him. People have been speculating as to your motives and placing bets on when you’ll do it.

Loki’s not sure he believes it, but he doesn’t feel comfortable taking any chances. He begins taking extra precautions in his daily routine, especially when doing anything different, and makes sure never to turn his back to you.

You haven’t heard any such rumors, and don’t understand why he’s suddenly so jumpy and easily startled. Doesn’t he know you love him and would never hurt him? Still, it’s kind of funny.

Meanwhile, Loki is torn between thoughts that his beloved could very well be plotting to take his life and thoughts that he’s being silly.

Maybe he should give you the benefit of the doubt...

... But he’ll carry an extra dagger and let you have the first tastes of dinner first.

Just in case.

Challenge #03971-J319: Toxic Area Disposal Protocol

They slapped Wraithvine hard before hugging him tightly, GLAD that Wraithvine hadn't gotten hurt.

"You IDIOT! I told you not to do that!"

"It was just a little cantrip"

"There's a reason none in this party are using any magic in this area!"

"I will remember that." -- Anon Guest

All things considered, they were all lucky that such a simple spell hadn't obliterated a city-sized area. They were also kind of lucky that the Eternal Wizard of myth and legend didn't decide to retaliate.

"This is a wild magic area! Weaponised wild magic, set to make any spell detonate against us. All of us!"

Wraithvine picked hirself up and, still feeling hir face, said, "I wasn't thinking. I only thought to light my pipe for a... relaxation aid." Which was code for pipeweed in general and dandelions in particular.

As of Friday morning (or Thursday afternoon, counting from when he felt bad), my husband has covid. (We mask, but he drives a bus so he encounters a lot of people.) So far I don't have covid. We both, separately, had the thought Thursday night "maybe I should sleep on the couch or something" but neither of us did so I am presumably very exposed and just incubating. Until/unless I get sick, though, we're sleeping in separate bedrooms, masking in the house, running some big air purifiers, and taking turns eating on the porch. I'm feeling surprisingly okay about it. I still have my late-stage-capitalism anxiety but this, like... Our reaction feels like controlling the situation in a way that "I'm the only person masking at this family reunion" does not. Either I have it already, nothing I can do about that, or I don't have it already and, in my little corner of the universe, we are being serious about not transmitting it.

What is meant by zero covid? NEWCOMERS READ THIS: ZeroCovidCommunity

Below is copied from the post; links and formatting may be broken so I recommend reading the original.

If you already know, you fucking know and don't need to read all this for the hundredth time. If you don't, it's good info.

Covid is not over, because long covid has no cure. The virus may not kill the victim but instead make them disabled with crushing fatigue, debilitating brain fog or over 200 other recorded problems. People with long covid often lose the ability to work or even get out of bed. About half of long covid is ME/CFS [ref1 ref2 ref3 ref4], which is the extremely disabling disease causing fatigue and brain fog. Somewhere between 5% and 20% of covid infections become long covid. For reference a "medically rare event" is considered 0.1%. Long covid isn't rare. Serious disability from long covid isn't rare. Vaccines and antivirals reduce the chances a little bit but are not a solution on their own. Long covid lasts for years. Some people improve but most never completely recover. Scientific research into it is only just starting and will be many years before it produces results. The only thing left then to not get covid in the first place. Or if you've already had it to not get it again, as we know the damage to the body accumulates with repeat infections. Not getting it again also gives you the best chance of recovery if you already have long covid. Death from covid is also still a problem. It is a leading cause of death. You may have heard only old people die of covid, but old people die more of anything. If you compare covid deaths in children with other things that kill children, then covid comes out as a leading killer of children. This is true in every age group. Everyone must be protected. Even if we ourselves aren't harmed by covid on the first or second infection, we'll be greatly affected if so many of our friends, family and neighbours get sick. Millions are missing from the workforce due to covid. The five pillars of prevention are: clean air, masks, testing, physical distancing and vaccination. We must also redouble efforts into research, for example better ways of cleaning the air, better vaccines, better tests. We choose health over disease. Ultimately we aim to suppress covid transmission and eventually reach elimination so that covid becomes rare in society. Zero X is not some radical new idea, it's how we've always dealt with serious disease. We don't think it's acceptable to "live with" other dangerous infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, smallpox or polio, why should we "live with" Covid? (Fun fact: AIDS is nothing but long HIV. An acute HIV infection seems like nothing special, it's mild flu-like symptoms for a week or two which gets better... until 5-10 years later when the victim dies of AIDS. Reminding us that just because it starts with flu-like symptoms doesn't mean that's how it ends.)

Challenge #03749-J096: Safety Inspection

A magical amusement park, rides and all, has been built. Wraithvine and friends are asked to evaluate it for safety before opening to the public. -- Anon Guest

This was much more than a merry-go-round, a ferris wheel, and a pitch-a-ring stall. Some were entertainments that hadn't been seen since the last gilded age of high magic. A giant steam engine was prepared to run a band of bardic automatons and a mechanical giraffe, for some reason.

Wraithvine was here for the rides. Specifically, to ensure they were safe for all comers. The ancients of the last gilded age weren't keen on making things safe for anyone else but the dominant species. It was regrettable that that gilded age was the age of Elves.

Thusly, most of the seating was for middling-sized intelligent creatures.

Staying Away from "Three Highs", Drinking Tea is a Simple and Effective Feasible Method

What is "Three Highs"?

"Three Highs" refers to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, also known as "Three Highs Syndrome". Hypertension is a disease in which blood pressure continues to rise beyond the normal range; hyperlipidemia is a condition in which the fat content in the blood exceeds the normal range, including cholesterol and triglycerides; hyperglycemia is a disease in which blood sugar levels continue to rise beyond the normal range. These three diseases are related to factors such as lifestyle, diet, and genetics. If not controlled for a long time, they can seriously affect human health, and even lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. Therefore, it is very important to prevent and control "Three Highs Syndrome". The disease can be controlled by reasonable diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, and early detection and treatment of the disease. By adopting scientific and reasonable diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, we can effectively reduce the harm of "Three Highs Syndrome" and protect human health.

So, how can "Three Highs" be effectively controlled? A simple method is to drink tea!

Drinking tea can really reduce the risk of "Three Highs":

Reducing the risk of diabetes

In 2021, Professor Li Liming from Peking University School of Public Health and others analyzed the data of more than 500,000 adults in China's chronic disease prospective study and found that daily consumption of green tea can prevent type 2 diabetes in the general population, while regular consumption of green tea can significantly reduce the risk of death among people with diabetes. (1)

Lowering the risk of hypertension

In 2014, a cohort study conducted in China investigated the relationship between tea consumption and blood pressure changes in 1,109 participants over a five-year period. The results showed that there was a strong interaction between increased green tea intake and decreased diastolic blood pressure. Compared with non-tea drinkers, those who consumed a total of ≥10 grams of green tea per day had a smaller increase in diastolic blood pressure. (2)

Improving blood lipid abnormalities

A cross-sectional study published in 2017 showed that people who drank more than 30 cups of tea per week for more than six months had lower levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in their serum, and higher levels of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein. (3)

Dr. Wang Fang, director of the cardiology department at Beijing Hospital, also wrote in a 2018 article in the Health Times that Pu-erh tea, as well as other types of tea, contain various substances such as tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, and caffeine, which to some extent can regulate lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, blood rheological properties, and vascular elasticity. Therefore, drinking Pu-erh tea can play a preventive role in high blood lipids, high blood sugar, thrombosis, and various factors that cause heart and brain damage. However, for patients with pre-existing diseases, drinking tea alone is not enough, and medication such as lipid-lowering drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and blood vessel unblocking drugs is still necessary. (4)

6 Things to Keep in Mind When Drinking Tea!

Don't drink strong tea

Chen Hong, deputy chief physician of the Chinese medicine department at Wuhan Donghu Hospital in Hubei Province, said in an interview with Changjiang Daily in July 2022 that everything should be done in moderation, and drinking light tea can promote health, while drinking strong tea can harm health. For example, elderly people with weak gastrointestinal function may experience discomfort from drinking large amounts of strong tea for a long time. Strong tea contains caffeine, and excessive consumption of strong tea can cause dizziness, headaches, and increase the burden on the heart, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations, and causing high blood pressure. (5)

Don't drink tea on an empty stomach

Qian Duoduo, a member of the Capital Health and Nutrition Gourmet Society, reminded in an article in the Health Times in 2019 that tea, especially green tea, has high levels of tea polyphenols and caffeine. If consumed on an empty stomach, some of the active substances will combine with the protein in the stomach, causing irritation to the stomach, which can easily lead to stomach discomfort and even "drunk tea" symptoms such as dizziness. Especially for people with poor gastrointestinal function, it is not recommended to drink green tea. (6)

Don't drink tea too late

Tea has a refreshing and diureticeffect. Drinking a cup of light tea in the morning can help refresh the mind. For people who have trouble sleeping, it is not recommended to drink tea in the evening to avoid causing insomnia.

Don't drink tea that is too hot

Drinking tea that is too hot may burn the esophageal mucosa and increase the risk of esophageal and gastric cancer. Therefore, after brewing tea with hot water, let it cool down before drinking it. Li Shujun, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital, said in an interview with the Health Times in 2019 that the surface of the esophagus is covered with delicate mucosa, and food temperature has a great impact on it: 10℃ to 40℃ is the most suitable, while 50℃ to 60℃ can barely be tolerated, and temperatures above 65℃ can cause burns. Don't think that 65℃ is a low temperature, as a hot dumpling can easily exceed this temperature. (7)

Drink tea one hour after meals

Zhang Xiaoyan, chief physician of the nutrition department at Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Jiangsu Province, said in an article in the Health Times in 2017 that it is not advisable to drink tea immediately after a meal, and it is best to drink tea one hour after a meal. This is because tannic acid in tea can inhibit the secretion of gastric and intestinal fluids, leading to digestive problems. Moreover, tannic acid can combine with proteins to form astringent protein, which weakens intestinal motility and can lead to dry stools. More importantly, tea can interfere with the absorption of iron by the body. (8)

Don't drink tea when taking certain medications

Wang Yali, a pharmacist at Beijing Hepingli Hospital, reminded in an article in the Health Times in 2023 that anemic patients taking iron-containing drugs, people taking Chinese medicine with alkaloids as the main component, such as ephedra, coptis, phellodendron, and pulsatilla, people taking tonifying Chinese medicine, such as Codonopsis pilosula, astragalus, polygonum multiflorum, and psoralea, people with palpitations, insomnia, and vivid dreams taking tranquilizers, and people with spleen and stomach diseases, especially those with active peptic ulcers, should not drinktea.
