Innate Spellcasting. The quarut's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19). The quarut can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: dimension door, dispel magic, dominate person, haste, hold monster, locate creature 1/day each: forcecage, teleport, time stop Actions Multiattack. The quarut makes two slam attacks. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6+5) bludgeoning damage plus 31 (7d8) force damage.

Quaruts are inevitables tasked with preserving the integrity of time and space. They usually target wizards who make excessive use of time stop and wish spells; however, the quaruts have no qualms about using such spells themselves. Their bodies are covered in finely-etched plates, beneath which are various intricate mechanical time pieces. Their head contains an hourglass whose glowing sands constantly flow upward for some inexplicable reason. Quaruts mercilessly hunt down spellcasters who flagrantly violate the laws of time and space, always working alone to bring down their quarry.

What your advice for people who is going to make Yandere lmk character ai or character ai in general? I have problem making lmk character to act like themselves😅

This is a very interesting question- and I’d like to preface it by saying there’s no “wrong” way to write a character! I’m happy to show you my personal methods, though!

(If you’re having trouble writing dialogue, the wiki has lists of quotes from all the characters! It been super helpful so far!)

Also, following requests and suggestions, I have very tentatively added a few bots to the “Limited” section on Janitor AI. If they do well and people are interested, I’ll add a few more.

You can chat with the Journeyfam, the Monkiefam, and the Bullfam!

As for making a bot…

The literal most important part of any bot is the Description. Here’s how one of mine looks:

{{user}} is, obviously, the user’s name! It’ll autocorrect to the name of your current persona, and if you aren’t using one, it’ll use your profile name instead. {{char}} is the bot itself!

So when I write:

-{{user}} sneezes-

-{{char}} worries and checks their forehead-

A similar chat will go like this-

The bot will draw on their descriptions more than anything else- but there’s a major drawback- of the 32000 characters accepted? The bot will only register the first 3200.

Which I certainly did not know before I wrote 18000 characters for this definition!

Also, though you’re meant to drop a short summary of your character’s personality in the Description box, there’s not much space to expand upon them.

So I find it useful to just place a longer, much more detailed summary in the Definition section.

Aside from these, the Greeting! The way you write this will do the heavy lifting in dialogue through the chat! If the Greeting has typos and poor punctuation, so will all the messages that come after it! If you write your actions in ellipses, the bot will follow through with that! Make sure to “start a new chat” every time you update a greeting so you can see if you missed something!

Also, if you’re using the mobile app? You’ll only be able to write 500 characters for the greeting. On the site (which you can access through your phone), it’s boosted to 2048- I find this much preferable.

Aside from that, it all comes down to writing!

Good luck with your bots!

some facts about palestine

done w the help of @kourtgreene

the death toll has surpassed 10000 now, a majority of which are women and children

there are also 25000 people injured and estimated thousands are missing

1.5 million are currently displaced in gaza

at least 47 mosques and 3 churches have been destroyed, including the third oldest church in the world

11 bakeries have also been destroyed

47 families (with a total of 500 people in them) have been wiped from the civil registry in gaza

more children have died in gaza since october seventh than from conflicts around the world in each of the last four years

the usa provides $3.8 billion for israel every year

71% of the gazan population screens positive for depression

20000 people are in need of specialised mental health services

there have been 105 attacks on hospitals in gaza since october seventh

in the west bank, WHERE HAMAS HAS NO CONTROL, there are 128 fatalities and ~2270 injuries

there are at least 28 journalists who have been murdered in gaza by israeli attacks

at least 97 schools have been damaged (war crime)

among healthcare staff there have been at least 60 deaths and 111 injuries

107 healthcare facilities have been targeted (which is a war crime) including 19 hospitals, 49 clinics, and 39 ambulances

46% of hospitals arent working

because of electricity being cut off from hospitals, there are thousands of people in need

this includes 130 babies in incubators, 50000 pregnant women, 1000 kidney dialysis patients, and 35000 non-contagious disease patients (e.g. heart failure, diabetes)

there are 183 births per day and the mothers struggle to find a proper place to give birth with proper medical aid

18000 tons of bombs have been dropped on gaza, which is 1.5x the explosive force of the atomic bomb on hiroshima

the number of palestinian prisoners / hostages israel has kidnapped in the west bank have doubled since october 7th (again, hamas is not in the west bank)

thousands of workers from gaza were released from the jails and have reported being beaten, tortured, stripped, bruised, pissed on, denied basic sanitation, denied food, denied water, and have been tagged as numbers

meanwhile, israeli people who have been taken hostage by hamas have reported that they are treated surprisingly well, even eating the same food as the hamas soldiers and having their toilets cleaned regularly

families in the west bank are reporting that their men are vanishing, leading to the idea that israelis are kidnapping them

subhi has an excellent video detailing more about the above point, also you should follow him on instagram he breaks things down incredibly well

israels iron dome has malfunctioned and one of their rockets has hit a hospital in tel aviv

it is important to remember the above point lest they (very likely) come out and somehow blame hamas/hezbollah/iran

theyre dropping lots of white phosphorus

chemical warfare has been a crime since the end of the first world war

theyve bombed the south dozens of times now despite claiming that theyll only target the north (anyone still saying that the south is safe is either clueless or a liar)

theyve hit the rafah border and it’s passage, killing dozens

a ceasefire is for the people of gaza to breathe. a ceasefire is NOT the end of OUR fight for palestine

these numbers increase every single day

this specific attack has been going on for a month

the isolation of gaza is 15 years old

israeli hands have been covered in palestinian blood for 75 years

most governments are failing to do anything that actually stops the massacre

the palestinians in gaza need our help.

[dontcallpanic]

Hi there sweetheart! 🩵 as i said on my post, im turning this around

what are some of the things that never fail to make you smile?

and I'll also ask: what are some of the things/people that scream 'love' from miles away for you?

@gege-wondering-around I am so, so sorry this has taken so long – as usual. Life is chaos but I really appreciate the ask! You’re so kind and so lovely and your answer was perfect I hope I can do this justice! Diolch yn fawr iawn and here we go

Family. – One member in particular keeps wandering around singing Life is a Highway very badly and offkey and I just love it! It’s so cosy and fun and I just love it when things are calm enough that people can relax and be themselves. My cat (called Busy) also makes me smile. She’s a floozy cat and loves attention.

Writing – I’m working on something for my absolute best friend which has a bit of a story behind it. It’s a Sterek Au that came about because I went back home. I grew up in among those strange rural small towns where everything is a bit weird and a little left of reality. I was in the local supermarket and for some reason in the back rooms they had this section absolutely chock full of plaid shirts so I snapped a pic and sent it to my friend for fun as a Stiles reference. And from that we just kind of ran with this strange Sterek, small town au where all sorts of strange, odd, supernatural things happened. So, of course I had to write it for her. But I write REALLY slowly. It’s not going to be finished any time soon but it’s 18000 words so far! Anyway, it’s purely for fun and full of joy and bittersweet things and it makes me smile SO much. Have a snippet! He can see it now. He’s going to become a cautionary tale. Parents everywhere will tell their children all about the dangers of running off to find themselves and all because he got lost in the woods and eaten by a bear. My what big teeth you have and all that. Wait – that’s little red riding hood. Maybe he’ll be eaten by wolves, not bears… That would be exactly his luck. Especially when there are famously no wolves in California. What was the moral of that story again? Something about not trusting strangers? Never leave the path? Something else about… not… going… for a walk in the woods… alone? Fuck. Stiles runs an anxious hand down the front of his favourite red hoodie. Double fuck. There was no way he was little red riding hood. The universe wouldn’t be that cruel, right? The colour of his jacket should have no bearing on the likelihood of him being eaten by a wild animal. Absolutely not. None, whatsoever. Nope. Incidentally, has anyone done any research on whether bears are attracted to certain colours more than others?

Adventures – I love exploring and just seeing new places, near or far. It doesn’t really matter where but show me a quiet road surrounded by tall trees and I am just giddy with happiness. I love driving too so that helps!

Music – this is one of the things that I live for. I love how much music can give you, from inspiration, to pure feeling, vibes, joy, drama, beautiful poetry. It’s everything and it’s got everything! Here’s a link to my favourites playlist (that I'm still adding to!) but it’s full of all sorts of everything . Listen at your own risk!

Kindness - I’ll shout out to people on Tumblr too. I love seeing people be themselves and owning their weird, whatever it is! That always makes me smile – especially when something good happens for someone I follow. I loved what you said about kindness too. The words I try to live by are be curious and have compassion. Everyone’s going through something and the world can always use a bit more kindness!

Things that scream love from miles away (loved this question!)

Friends – I have two best friends who are the complete opposite of each other and I love them so much. They keep me going and whatever’s going on, they can always make me smile.

I’m moving away from them both which is breaking my heart a bit but something they both do which, to me, screams love from a distance is they’ll just send me things.

One friend sends memes and funny videos

The other shares her day and sends me pictures of what she’s doing.

I love this so much because its just I saw this and thought of you! It’s quick, it’s sweet, its thoughtful and it just means so much to me that they are going about their day and they take the time to think oh, I thought you’d like this! Now my phone is full of their lives and it makes me so happy.

I try to reciprocate  as much as possible but everyone always says my love language is bread. I’ll often bake bread for my friends to pass on when I see them although I realise that might be harder these days. Posting bread doesn’t seem like the best idea…

I’ll also do a small shout out to my husband here, as we’re talking about things that scream love. We met about 14 years ago when I was 18. I saw him across the room in a crowded bar on my first day of Uni and it was love at first sight. Still can’t explain it to this day. He was just my person.

Thanks so much for the ask! It’s really sweet and I had a lot of fun thinking about this one! It’s always worth spreading a little love and happiness and I hope your day is full of pure joy! You deserve it!

Mesoamerica

The precolonization time periods of Mesoamerica, which covers modern-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador and parts of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica are divided into different periods than those in Europe and the Middle East. Part of this is simple separation, though other reasons include geography (that Mesoamerica has oceans on both sides and between two much larger north-south oriented land masses as well as the minerals available) and climate (a complex mixture of lowlands, highlands, and sub-tropical and tropical climates in the lowlands to cool and dry in the highlands).

Humans reached the area approximately 18000 BCE. From then until about 8000 BCE is known as the Paleo-Indian or, less commonly, the Lithic period, followed by the Archaic period which ended about 2000 BCE, followed by the Preclassical until about 250 CE, the Classical until 900 CE, then the Postclassical, which ended with the Spanish colonization around 1500 CE.

The Paleo-Indian era covers the time period from when people arrived in the area and began using agriculture, pottery, and other skills needed to maintain life. This time period covered hunter-gatherer civilizations and the development of field-based agriculture. This period is fairly similar to the Stone Age in Europe and the Middle East.

During the Archaic period, permanent settlements were established, followed by pottery and loom weaving, allowing class divisions to begin to appear. Trade networks also developed, within short distances at first, then further afield, for stones like obsidian and chert (a fine grained sedimentary rock formed of microcrystaline quartz).

During the Preclassical period, large-scale ceremonial architecture, cities, states, and writing developed. With the development of writing, we can know what the groups of people called themselves. Some of these are the Olmec, who lived around La Venta and San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, the Zapotec civilization, around the Valley of Oaxaca, Teotihuacan, in the Valley of Mexico, and the Maya, in the Mirador Basin.

The Classical period was defined by the independent city-states of the Maya and the beginnings of political unification of central Mexico and the Yucatán. Differences in regional cultures manifested themselves until the city-state of Teotihuacan began to dominating the Valley of Mexico, though we don't know much about the culture of the area due to Teotihuacanos not having a culture of writing. The city-state of Monte Albán dominated the Valley of Oaxaca. Though we have some of their writing, we haven't been able to decipher it yet. They did leave a highly sophisticated artistic culture as well, which spread through the area.

The Postclassical period saw the collapse of many of the great nations of the Classical period, though the Oaxaca, the Maya of Yucatan (such as the city of Chichen Itza and Uxmal), and the Cholula continued. This period is thought to have seen an increase in warfare, though there were technological advancements in engineering, weaponry, and metallurgy occurred. There was also a lot more movement and population growth during this time as well, especially after about 1200 CE, and experiments in government. The Toltec dominated in the 9-10th centuries then collapsed. The Maya united for a while under Mayapan and the Oaxaca under Mixtec rulers. The Aztec Empire rose in the 15th century and began conquering the Valley of Mexico. This was also the beginning of a renaissance of fine arts and sciences.

The Spanish conquest of the area was aided by native people who wanted allies against the Aztec Empire. After this, much of the culture of the area and many of the people were destroyed by the Spaniards.

The 18 THOUSAND Winter Magic Grind: My Rant On What the Fuck SSO Is Doing.

Hi, I just want to preface this by saying; I love this game and how it has progressed! I absolutely love a lot of the updates that have been put out, and I love so many new horses and I (to other’s surprise) love a lot of the devs’ decisions. It’s really a hit or miss with me. But I don’t tend to complain about every little thing. I love SSO, and I’d like to say instead of this being a “complaint” I’d rather call it fan feedback and a simple critique. Anyways, now the actual stuff you’ve been waiting for.

————————————————————————

I’m a person who actually LOVES to grind in games. When I get free time, I’ll go to grind on my favorite game for anything I want. In fact, I once spent 20 hours total (not in one day don’t worry) just saving up for some things I wanted in RDR2O just by hunting bison. So it’s safe to say I enjoy grinding and do a lot of it. I’ll just pop on my favorite Mo1stCritikal or Jerma stream, and get to grinding!

But the Winter Magic system has stumped me. It is nonstop grinding for the jaw dropping number of 18000 winter magic. And I think it’s fucking ridiculous. Here’s why:

It’s a Limited Time Event

I think I’d be alright doing or simply knowing that the Winter Magic grind is out there to do if it was always here. But it isn’t. The Winter Magic is only here for the Christmas/Winter update, which I find insane. It gives not much time for players to grind for (keep in mind) 18000 FLOATING SNOWFLAKES THAT USUALLY ONLY COME AS ONE AT A TIME. Some players really don’t have the time for that. And it’s just..annoying.

It’s Just Boring

Like the bullet says: It’s just boring. The Winter Village is just dull and sad this year. It lacks color. It’s just..dull and sad looking. It’s hard to grind because my mood just drops. I just get bored and depressed. I usually just stop or get off SSO completely after ten minutes of it. And I’m someone who can spend HOURS at a time grinding. I just can’t do it for the winter magic.

The Rewards (seriously star stable. what is this?)

I want to say I love the gifts from under the tree this year! They’re very generous and the outfit is cute! But the Winter Magic rewards. You do so, so much for such a small seeming reward. It just isn’t motivating to keep going. I think I’d work through the boring, lack of charm, sad substance the Winter Village has become if there was good rewards. But..there just isn’t. It just feels derogatory to the player as well.

And I think that’s about all I have to say. If you guys have anything to say, feel free to read. If you’ve read this agonizingly long rant down to here, I congratulate you!

As always, consider giving me a follow! I love talking to other SSO players and seeing blogs. I’d love to follow you back. See you <3

[makiruz]

dude what the hell is with ur anti semitic remarks like that’s not fucking ok.

i was following you because you posted memes man, never saw anything about the conspiracy bullcrap you do.

Please listen to jewish people instead of just placing urself morally above them, like the amount of shit that the jewish diaspora has endured shouldn’t be added to by your ignorance

Do you honestly believe someone is gonna take that seriously in this context? 18000 people are dead

Art Requests: I don't have a preference, I'm very happy to go with whatever the artist wants to go with.

Summary:

A rugby AU in which George Russell is the captain of the Formula Ruby team and has to deal with pre-season training, which turns out to be harder than he first thought. One of the main reasons for this is the tension that is still left over from the Ruby World Cup and the ongoing difficult relationship between French players Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc whilst trying to form a coherent team. George is also questioning the state of his relationship with Alex Albon (they get together in the end), and the issues surrounding the future of the English Ruby with the former coach Christian Horner getting fired. It’s all a little bit of a mess. However, it works out in the end, with the team winning their first game of the season, and James Vowels takes over the role of England team coach. The overall vibe of the whole thing is that it is a little bit messy but they are all trying their best to be dealing with feelings and the many issues surrounding teamwork.

Author Notes + Warnings:

So despite the fic surrounding the idea of rugby, there is no mention of anybody playing rugby. Instead, it focuses on all the little ins and out of the rugby team, the personalities within the team, how they bounce off each other, and the friendships and relationships created within it. Each section is set up as a different day, following the 5+1 format. Visuals include • A lot of blues and reds, which made up their team kits. (Their shirts, their shorts, their studs and mouth guards.) Each player has his surname and number, which is included in the list at the top on the back of the shirt. I don’t have an idea of what the team badge looks like, but happy to leave that to the artist. 

• There is a lot of focus on the team kits, both their countries' kits and their team kit. • The training kits are similar blues to their kits with blue trainers. • There are also a lot of greens with the pitch during the training seasons, whilst the match at the end is muddy with a lot of mud all over the place. • Each player also has a red suitcase and holdall. Each player also has a little keyring reflected in their personalities, e.g. Alex has a cat whilst Oscar has a koala.

Summary:

Sequel to its all so incredibly loud.

After the events of Monaco, Charles, Daniel, Pierre and Lando can't risk staying any longer. Their only guide and their only hope of survival is Max, who left them when they needed him most. Told through Max's eyes, the journey from Monaco to the safety of Germany is not an easy one, and it's made a lot harder when the group starts lying to him. Eventual Max/Daniel/Lando with established Piarles! Lots of angst and hurt/comfort, and lots of the group getting to know each other again. 

Author Notes + Warnings:

as angsty as this is it's also an undercover love story. the bond between the Monaco four is strong, but they want Max there as well, even if he doesn't realize it. Graphic description of violence, blood, guns, killing for survival, food insecurity/food problems due to post-apoc setting, and gunshot wounds.

Summary:

This is an AU Universe where the F1 Grid (teams, drivers, etcetera) are all in a spy universe. This is the first story apart of said universe! Growing up, Alex Albon and George Russell were inseparable best friends. From boarding school to junior spy training, they always stuck together. But while out on their first mission in Belfast, a miscommunication occurs and they fail their mission due to a serious mishap that ends with a deadly consequence. With this, the two's friendship is broken when Alex is sent down to Williams, banned from field service and stuck to a working as a Secretary for while George has been upgraded to a full-time field Mercedes agent, carrying guilt and regret on the inside while constantly on the go. David Coulthard is an oil tycoon, planning to promote his eco-friendly oil to motorsport, and eventually the entire world at the Silverstone Grand Prix. Spies are sent to both protect and investigate the event; including Alex and George. Not to spoil anything major, but while at the proposal, major shit behind the scenes goes down and suddenly Alex and George are reunited with a ten year old girl in their hands. Both are accused of the major shit going on behind the scenes, and are forced to go on a cross country trip in hiding. They are accompanied by tech-savvy tech guy Nicholas Latifi and former French agent Alain Prost, who's hiding many secrets behind his sad eyes. Together, they must embark from outside of London all the way to the Scottish Highlands while being tracked down. Not only is it a mission to save the world, but it is also a mission of reunification. Author Notes + Warnings:

It's not prominent in the story, but there are themes of racism in the workplace, stereotypes, eating disorders and, mental health issues. There will also be graphic depictions of violent and major character deaths. These will be warned beforehand.

Summary:

Charlie Whitlam is starting to enjoy her work again. After a whole career built at McLaren, the engineer accepts a new challenge at Aston Martin, as a race engineer for Sebastian Vettel. Everything seems perfect, until the German decides to retire and has his replacement announced: simply Fernando Alonso, her greatest nightmare. Charlie and Fernando's story dates back to his second stint at McLaren, when a terrible car and rude comments by the driver during a debrief in Montreal almost caused her to resign. However, eight years have passed since that day and she is determined not to let Fernando enter her mind, which may be a more difficult task than she imagined. Author Notes + Warnings:

This story is enemies to lovers in its purest form. The main settings are hotel rooms, Charlie's apartment in Northampton and Fernando's house in Lugano, Switzerland. Scenes that I believe can be illustrated, in a way, are the two nights in Imola, as well as their meeting in Charlie's apartment, specially the encounter between Fernando and Ron. I have no problem with NSFW illustrations.

The story has mentions of crashes, sexual harassment, sexism and a lot of cursing.

Summary:

Kimi and Sebastian are two best friends that work and live together on a farm, but they’re barely able to manage the place, let alone take care of themselves. Enter Pierre and Charles, who are two lost souls that Sebastian instantly takes a liking to out of the hundred other displaced men that are seeking new prospects in a new land, and they join Kimi and Seb on their farm. Pierre and Charles are absolutely aghast at how the other two men live, and they immediately rectify the situation by taking care of these two inept men who have no clue how bad they’ve had it. They cook, they clean, they help out around the farm – Pierre and Charles are determined to do it all! The story circles around Charles helplessly pining after an oblivious Sebastian. Charles overcomes his fear of animals, does copious amounts of laundry, all while trying his best to show Sebastian how he feels. On the other hand Sebastian is charmed by the zeal in how Charles approaches the mundanity in their everyday lives, but he doesn’t allow himself to see Charles as a romantic interest, fearing that it is a line he shouldn’t cross. In the background, Kimi and Pierre have formed a relationship of friends-with-benefits, and they both grow more and more exasperated by how their respective best friends are idiots in love that won’t admit their feelings to each other.   Also, there's a lot of shirts that get destroyed. Author Notes + Warnings:

Not meant to be a sadfic in any way! The vibe I'm going for is cute fluff and salaciously humorous with a side of exasperation -- 'Why can't Charles and Seb figure out that they like each other and ride off into the sunset instead of Charles mending Seb's ripped shirts like the housewife he is, sighing wistfully as he watches Seb ride a horse wearing just chaps and nothing else?? Because Kimi is sick of seeing them pussyfoot around, but Pierre just shakes his head and leads Kimi into the hayloft for a quickie to distract him from the disaster that is Seb and Charles'. 

There’s NSFW scenes that include sex in inappropriate places, conversations that include sex, misuse of shirts for masturbatory/copulation cleanup, and a couple threats of bodily harm if ‘you break my best friend’s heart’.

Rating: Explicit

Relationship(s): Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen

Character(s): Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Daniel Ricciardo, George Russell (Formula 1 RPF), Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, Yuki Tsunoda, Max Verstappen

Additional Tag(s): Alternate Universe - Office, Personal Assistant, Pining, Angst with a Happy Ending, Miscommunication, Misunderstandings, Sexual content, Smut

Word Count: 30000

Summary:

Office AU. Max is the Chief Business Officer of Verstappen Co. Charles, freshly unemployed and supremely underqualified, gets the job as his new personal assistant. Charles has heard a lot of things about Max, most of them bad, and he's more than a little intimidated by his new boss. He's also finding it difficult to stop thinking about just how attractive his new boss is, but that's completely beside the point.

Heavy on the bonding through mutual discomfort with emotion, lots of Charles getting Max coffee and making sure he eats and just generally taking care of Max. Also, heavy on the whirlwind Christmas romance vibes, buying each other little presents, meeting family members, easily-preventable misunderstandings and repressed emotions galore.

The general vibe I'm going for is semi-Christmassy romcom, with the majority of scenes taking place in their office, except for one notable trip to Paris.

Artist Notes + Warnings:

The majority of the fic takes place in the lead-up to the Christmas period, so lots of Christmassy vibes. Also, a business trip to Paris where there ends up being only one bed (oh no...how could this happen).

Max is Charles' boss, and therefore in an inherent position of power over him. However, Max is very aware of this, and at no time is Charles coerced into anything through this power differential or made to feel uncomfortable. The rating of the work is going to be explicit due to some sex scenes, but also due to Charles' incredibly thirsty internal dialogue.

Fire damage dealt by this attack, or from being on fire from it, ignores resistance to fire damage.

These massive golems resemble a walking funeral pyre, though one that burns hotter than any in the mortal world. They are created by devils with a pyromaniacal bent, and in fact can only be successfully created in the Nine Hells, with special clay found only there. They are not mindless, but are unsubtle either, preferring to burn their foes to death as directly as possible, blasting them with fireball and flame strike spells while closing in to melee.

Last Monday of the Week 2023-03-06

Gamers only play competitive first person shooters when they're extremely distressed

Listening: It was BandCamp Friday this week, so new music! Already posted my album list here so I won't dump it again

For a single song, here's Machine by Dangerfields

Watching: this bizzare 3D anime a media archival guy on YouTube has. I watched it on my phone in stereoscopic crosseyevision which worked surprisingly well but I did have to take a few breaks. The original format used the interlaced lines of SDTV to display left and right, synchronized by active-shutter glasses.

It's about some journalists following up on a terrorist plot or something, there's a lot going on, one of them is a. Robot? Maybe? It's a bit hard to keep on top of the subtitles because they are not in 3D so they appear twice below the image when you're cross-eyed, I think I still have like 10 minutes to go. Fun exercise. It was uploaded in a 3D format so you can just watch it normally or use a VR headset to view it. I lost my Google cardboard thing, so.

Reading: Re-read 17776 and 20020, it's been a moment. 20020 is incredible, 17776 was already good but it had to spend so long setting the scene that it couldn't do as much storytelling. Unbidden my comparison to this came as "Avatar S2 Vs S3"

Man I hope 20021 gets out soon. Great how it can get you so deeply invested in this multi-millennium fake football game. The introduction of the Illinois Chess bit to show that everyone has gone equally crazy about their interests over the past 18000 years is a nice touch.

Playing: Knocking out a couple matches of Valorant swiftplay most nights after the power comes back. The first to 5 is so much faster than first to 13, makes it possible for someone like me to actually enjoy the game when I don't have friends to banter with so I can level up at an acceptable speed. Trying to get Neon because nyoom.

Between everyone having power outages at different times it's nearly impossible to arrange proper matches with my friends, which sucks. I recently found out that they changed how aim rollback works to basically exclude my entire region from rollback netcode so I guess I have to start leading my shots.

Making: Quilt continues apace, now with actual quilting and not just patchwork. This is most of what I'm doing between finishing work and like, seven in the evening these days.

My cousin bought a very fast new car a few days ago and I spent the afternoon photographing it on a rooftop parking lot the other day. Haven't had a chance to go through and do full processing but here's a couple sample images.

Tools and Equipment: Had to spend an hour scouring the house looking for my parents passports so here's a pitch for getting a waterproof bag and keeping all your important personal documents in it and putting that in your bug out pack and putting that in the same place all the time. This avoids many issues.

Getting Your House Ready for the Installation of a Senville Air Conditioner!

Your home can become much more comfortable with the installation of a new air conditioner, especially if it's a high-quality system like Senville. However, there are a few things we can do to guarantee a seamless and effective process before the installation personnel arrives. We can help with a quicker and simpler installation process and guarantee that your new air conditioner operates at its best right away by properly getting ready for your house.

As part of our mission to give every customer a hassle-free experience, we at Xtreme Home make sure your house is prepared for the Senville Air Conditioner Installation. Here's an extensive article on preparing your home for installation day.

Make the installation area clear: It's important to clear the space surrounding the air conditioner, whether you're installing a central air system or a ductless mini-split. This is what you should do:

Installing a mini-split system usually involves mounting the indoor unit on a wall. To allow the technicians to operate freely, and move any furniture or other items close to the installation area. Make sure they have enough space to reach the mounting site and securely install the unit.

The outdoor unit should be positioned outside your house in a well-ventilated area if you're installing a split system. Remove any furniture, plants, or garbage that might be blocking the installation area. To guarantee that the unit is put correctly and operates effectively, the space should be level and clear of obstacles.

Make Sure Technicians Have Easy Access: Ensure that the technicians have easy access to the places where the air conditioner will be placed, both inside and outside. Here's how you can make this happen:

To ensure that the installation team can move equipment in and out of your house without any problems, and make sure all gates, doors, and hallways are clear.

To make it easier for the installation team to unload their tools and equipment, try to find a parking space close to your house.

Transfer Fragile Items and Pets: It's a good idea to relocate any pets to a quiet space or another part of the house to prevent them from becoming stressed out during installation, which can be somewhat noisy and include some heavy equipment. To avoid damage, delicate objects like artwork or valuables should also be kept out of the installation area.

Get Ready for Potential Noise and Drilling: If you're developing a mini-split system, you might need to drill holes in the ceiling or walls to install a Senville air conditioner. You should be ready for some noise and slight disturbance, even though the staff at Xtreme Home works carefully and efficiently.

Verify the installation information with Xtreme Home: Finally, before the day of installation, don't be afraid to ask Xtreme Home to confirm any last-minute information. This could consist of:

Verifying the date and time of the installation

Verifying your Senville air conditioner's model and location one more time

Inquiring about any last-minute guidelines or advice for getting your house ready

Conclusion:

It doesn't have to be difficult to prepare your house for Xtreme Home's Senville air conditioner installation. The installation process will go more quickly if you follow these easy steps, and you'll soon be enjoying your cool, cozy house.

Whether it is a matter of Senville 12000 BTU Heat Pump installationor 18000 BTU Mini Split installation,at Xtreme Home we're dedicated to offering professional installation services so that you can have a system that functions well and lasts for many years. Prepare yourself for a welcome change your Senville air conditioner is only a short distance away.

MRI Test Price and Finding an MRI Near You

This non-invasive test is essential for diagnosing a variety of events, allowing doctors make precise calculations without the need for surgery. However, as with any medical service, the MRI test price can vary widely, relying on factors such as area, the type of MRI scan, and the building itself.

Understanding MRI Test Prices

When exploring for the cost of an MRI, it’s essential to know what affects the price. In the U.S., an MRI can range anywhere from Rs 3500 to over Rs 18000. Factors like the type of scan (e.g., brain, spinal, or cardiac MRI), contrast condition, facility type (hospital vs. outpatient center), and actually limited pricing differences all play a role. Typically, hospitals have more increased prices due to their overhead costs, whereas standalone imaging centers power offer more reasonable rates. Again, insurance coverage is important, as it can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Without insurance, the cost can be quite high, making it all the more important to research beforehand.

Finding an MRI Near You

If you’re searching for an MRI near me, multiple online help can help locate nearby imaging means and compare their prices. Websites like Fitness rates, , or actually Google Maps list MRI providers and occasionally even have pricing details. When considering where to book an MRI, look for reviews on the building's benefit rate, cleanliness, and delay times. Some clinics may also present financing opportunities or deals for uninsured patients.

Tips for Affordable MRI Tests

To get the best price on an MRI, consider the following tips:

Shop around – Approximate prices at various facilities.

Ask about cash-pay discounts – Some centers offer reduced prices for upfront cash outlay.

Inquire about financing – Multiple imaging points to provide financing opportunities for expensive scans.

Check insurance coverage – Always confirm if the facility accepts your insurance and whether the scan is protected.

In summary, while MRI test prices can vary, a little research on “MRI near me” can help find a provider that fits both your budget and health needs.

Inevitably, the truth always wins...

Who can blame the heinous official agencies, military, etc., involved in this type of monstrous human experimentation, targeting men, women and children continually using publications such as this now desperately trying to keep the lid on the horrific truth?

As the truth snowballs, every effort imaginable to man is being taken to pretend that this PATENTED technology does not exist and people reporting beings used for mass human experimentation are mentally ill. This has been the fabric of the official coverup and highly effective for keeping the truth hidden. This article was likely written by someone, nameless, involved in this program and its progression for DECADES.

The mind invasive, psychotronic, behavioral modification patents tell a different story. These patents were invented for use and are not sitting on a shelf in the Military Industrial Complex collecting dusk.
