I got some gel from a cheap stress-relief toy on my books. I cleaned most of it but some of it remains. Is there a way to clean it off completely without causing further damage?

This is the main book I care about, the others have some minor stains but are also coated and its mostly the pages that are a problem. Some of the pages are glued together but I fear the only way out is gently pulling them apart with a letter opener. The gel has hardened and if I melted it the pages would likely get damaged. I would mostly like to know if there is a way to clean the covers instead.

Stress-relief doll pops, dripping resin all over my books

I just spent half a hour cleaning gluey resin from my bookshelf. Good news is that the shelf is now clean so it should not repeat. Bad news is that I got resin crystals stuck inside my nailbed but I'm more angry about my Earthsea copy looking like a giant slug just crawled over it since I was able to clean most of it but not the remaining sheen.

How do I make space in the routine?

I have to follow a very rigid routine for my days to go by without me feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I have been able to follow it for most of the time this year. The problem now is that I am starting to date a person. I like them and would like to proceed further with them (they were the one inviting me first so I assume they are interested) but this would mean finding a way to make space for them in my routine which so far feels stressing. Is anyone going through the same and what can I make to create a space without getting too worried about it?

Accidentally broke my peaceful streak

I had a purely peaceful run for 1958 moons, but last moon I chose to have my leader offend the BurrClan leader because one of the kits was found dead on the BurrClan border. So now I have officially started my first war for this one run. I can predict I will lose half the Clan as in the other runs. My bad.

How does the FOXHOUND timeline actually work after the fall of Outer Heaven?

Okay, first of all I apologize if this has been asked before, I looked through the subreddit and found some questions related to the timeline of Big Boss rejoining the US but not afterwards. And second I know the timeline is messy because the games' plot was written basically game by game as far as I know so contradictions are to be expected.

But what I would like to know is: did Kaz actually become affiliated with FOXHOUND after Venom's death? I suppose that if he did it sooner he would be collaborating with Big Boss, which would go against the MGSV finale. I also guess that Miller's attempt at turning either Venom Snake or Liquid Snake against Big Boss failed given that as far as I know Venom stayed loyal to Big Boss and given Kaz's own death in Solid.

And finally, did Liquid and the other MGS bosses (I suppose barring Ocelot) come into contact with FOXHOUND only around the events of Solid? I think if he was there sooner Solid Snake would at least know about him, but then again I don't know...

I'm sorry for asking but I haven't actually played MG1 or 2 yet and it's harder than I thought to keep track of the lore and try to make them fit with the rest. The answers may be obvious but at the moment they feel out of my reach.

Fantasy novels that feel like power metal

I like older classic fantasy and I feel that power metal concept albums have preserved the feeling better than most fantasy novels in recent times. So I'm looking for books, preferrably older, obscure, or independent (I think I have read alrready a lot of mainstream fantasy novels, or have them in my TBR), which have a tons of quests (preferrably by sea), magic, battles, sieges, etc, and that feel like they would translate well to power metal music (the albums I have included have the ideal atmosphere I'm looking for).

How does the Infection mod work?

I would like to try out the LifeGen: Infection mod but I am not sure how it works. How does the infection come to the Clan, how can I find a cure, and what happens afterwards? Do I have to start another run if I manage to cure all the infected cats? I tried looking at some other posts on the subreddit but I still don't understand much.

Scrivo qui perché, anche se ho già consultato familiari, amici e vari siti internet, penso di avere bisogno di più consigli possibile. Mi sono candidata per due posizioni come tirocinante, ma posso sceglierne solo una (sarei legata al bando Erasmus per tirocinio e quindi posso fare solo una domanda). Entrambi gli enti hanno risposto positivamente e sembrano interessati a procedere oltre. In primo luogo ho tempo solo fino a martedì pomeriggio per mandare la domanda. C'è un modo di sollecitare se non si fanno sentire nei prossimi giorni? Se non rispondono, devo dare per scontato che abbiano deciso di non accettare la mia candidatura o pensare che magari si siano dimenticati della deadline? E soprattutto, se posso accettare una sola proposta ed entrambi i colloqui dovessero andare bene, qual è il modo migliore di rifiutare una delle due offerte senza inimicarmi troppo l'ente scartato (con cui non mi dispiacerebbe ripropormi in futuro)? Non mi è mai capitata una situazione simile (per ora tutti i miei tentativi di candidarmi per un'offerta sono stati respinti e gli stage che ho fatto sono stati con persone che già conoscevo) e mi sento molto spaesata. Non pensavo nemmeno di ricevere risposta e non ho pianificato bene come procedere.
