With the Transcendence buffs that you unlock after spending Transcendence stars, such as the reduced surcharge or increased multicraft, do these buffs apply to all items which have any transcendence stars or only to items which are maxed?

For example, if I put one star on each of 12 items, do I then get a 10% reduced surcharge on all 12, or would I have to put 3 stars on each of 4 items to get the reduced surcharge on just those 4?

I'm assuming the buffs apply to everything, I just want confirmation.

Hello all. I'm looking for something fairly specific and I'm not sure what, if anything, is available. Requirements:

1. Aimed at middle grade or early YA, say 10 - 15 age range.
2. Takes place at either a girls' boarding school or at a coed boarding school with female-identifying protagonist or focus.
3. No supernatural or super unrealistic. This includes spy training, secret royalty, and hidden schools. These are normal girls at a normal school. Over the top is fine, given the age range.
4. Crushes and beginner dating okay, but no sex, love triangles, or similar drama common in later-age YA.
5. I prefer newer books or series, but classical is okay.

Before anyone suggests it, yes, we have

Okay, I understand that the shark will attack raft pieces and will try to target the original 4 foundations. I have two questions:

1. If you built out from the original 4 and then destroyed them, what would the shark orient on?
2. If you don't repair, is there a point at which the shark stops attacking? Or will the shark just destroy all foundations eventually, leaving you raftless?

Every specialist sub needs these tow variants of the subject matter:

The Darth Vader version, and

The Hello Kitty version.

A few days ago I made a purchase and was charged twice. Steam says that they cannot process refunds for in-game items, but when I contacted ST support I got a response saying that they cannot process refunds, it has to go through my platform, along with a warning that requesting a refund on an in-game item could result in a ban.

Does anyone have any ideas where I should go from here? I don't mind making the occasional purchase but I'm not willing to pay twice for something.

Edit (Sunday 13): Thanks all, issue has been resolved. I basically panicked when I got the initial "we can't help you" response and sent emails to everyone. It got handled quickly after that.

I'm trying to remember the title or author of a book of short stories that I tried to read years ago. The author was trying to write Sherlock Holmes style murder mysteries in a fantasy world.

Unfortunately it was terrible. The rules of magic weren't well established so it felt like the author was just pulling the solution out of thin air on the last page: "As everyone knows, magic of this type can only be cast in this way, thus the murderer has to be this person."

The only thing I can actually remember about the book itself was that I had a Science Fiction Book Club copy in hard back. Based on when I was actually in the SFBC, that means it couldn't be any newer than the very early 2000'

I just started playing the game. I don't know anyone else who does and I don't have enough free time to be super active, although I do play once or twice a day. I haven't decided if I'll keep playing as I'm not a huge fan of PvP, but I'm going to give it a shot.

So: should I use my server transfer token and where should I go? Is there any advantage to some servers over others? Do certain servers have different communities or accepted rules of engagement?

Or should I just ignore the thing because all servers are basically the same and it only matter if I want to play with a certain existing player?

I'm looking for well written (not necessarily popular) books aimed at a YA or teen audience which take place in boarding schools. Any genre is fine with a preference for adventure, mystery, fantasy, or the supernatural.

Books with a focus on school life are preferred, I don't just want school to be the backdrop for an otherwise unrelated story. By recent I mean within the past decade at the most, preferably the past five years.

Any suggestions are appreciated and thank you all in advance.

Back in February, a 17-year-old boy in Toronto, Canada, stabbed a woman to death in an erotic massage parlour. Two additional victims survived stabbings.

Today, Crown prosecutors upgraded the charges against him from First-degree murder and Attempted murder to Terrorist Activity on the grounds that he identifies as an incel.

This is notable for two reasons. First, because he was under 18 at the time of the attack, even a first-degree murder charge would have no minimum sentencing requirement, but a terrorism conviction is more likely to lead to life imprisonment.

Second, this appears to be the first case anywhere, and certainly in Canada, where incel status has been legally defined as

First off I'm not new to the game, been playing off and on for years, but I have a bad habit of making a new character or two after every major patch or absence. I am now building a long term character and plan to have bases in multiple galaxies.

My main base will eventually be in either Eissentam or one of the later lush galaxies, but I want to take advantage of being able to teleport to bases in previous galaxies.

I'm guessing from posts that Hilbert Dimension, Calypso, and Eissentam are the main colonized galaxies. I'll probably also make one in Budullangr just to have an empty galaxy.

Are there any other galaxies that are popular or have established communities? Anything I should take

Take something like Middle English evolving into Early Modern English or the split between Classical Latin and Ecclesiastical Latin.

Now obviously there's no really clear division between the two languages, these change slowly over time, but presumably there would be a point where academics of the era would recognize that the language they speak is substantially different than the one that came before.

How would they refer to the previous or contemporary language? Is there some term like split language or schism language? Would they just say old version versus modern/ new language?

For example, would a theologian in the 11th century refer to both Classical and Ecclesiastical Latin as bei
