Customer Service (M)

Synopsis: As a worker in a sex shop, you’ve seen people from all walks of life cross through your 18 and over store. Whether it be two young lovers trying to spice up their love life to respected dominatrices in the adult entertainment industry, you catered to everyone’s needs and were always willing to go above and beyond to secure a sale. So when a dashing you man asks you to help sample some toys for his future lovers, you simply had to assist him further.

Contains: Bang Chan x (f) reader, adult language, smut, explicit depictions of unprotected sex, fingering, nipple play, edging/orgasm denial, spanking, hair pulling, marking, creampie, sex shop worker!reader, sex shop customer!Chan.

“Welcome to Leather and Lace, where our products are guaranteed to put a smile on your face,” You sang out to the young couple that entered your shop, holding hands and looking at each other nervously while they immediately locked eyes with yours. The looks on their faces could only be described as one of genuine fear as they looked like they didn’t belong in here. But that was your specialty: unexperienced lovers.

It was your responsibility to make sure couples were able to explore their sexualities unhindered, showing them the ins and outs of genuine pleasure while also recommending certain products to exploit those pleasures. Nine times out of ten, you would get the shy couples who were just branching out in their sexual adventures, only dealing with the petty stuff like warming lube and finger toys. But every once and a while, your expertise would be genuinely tested by the local adult entertainment stars. You wondered when Sinnamon was coming in for her monthly stock up.

“I can tell you guys probably don’t want to be talking to a total stranger about your sex lives, but you guys came to me. I’ll help you guys out but first thing’s first,” You started as you bent down behind your counter, rummaging through the various samples you kept for customers to try whenever they were curious enough for a demonstration. Combing through flavored condoms and lubricants to pick your favorite brands while also making sure to grab some nipple cream for good measure, you turned to the young couple with a serious face, “IDs please. No service if you’re not of age.”

After the couple obliged your perfectly legal request, you finally placed all of the products on the counter for the couple to ogle at, asking timid questions about certain aspects and how to do certain things. You found that the lady out of the couple was actually a lot more comfortable talking about sex than her male partner, but it could also be that you’re an attractive woman working in a sex positive environment. You tend to have that effect on men a lot.

As you were busy instructing the couple on how to properly stimulate the clitoris after the lady basically begged you, you heard the familiar chime of your shop door open. Under your contract, you always have to say your store’s stupid catchphrase. Rolling your eyes upon realizing you had another customer to say those embarrassing words to, you turned to see the most interesting looking man, gawking at all of the sexual clothing upon entering.

The man was pretty average height but he was definitely hiding some impressive musculature underneath his hoodie. He also had the most plump lips you had ever seen, slightly parted from him still staring at your store’s wares in amusement. Something told you he was almost as unexperienced as this couple. Speaking of couple, you quickly wrapped up your demonstration to give all of your attention over to the new customer, instructing the couple to get your attention whenever they were ready to check out. Now you could focus all your attention on the rare occurrence of a male coming alone to your store.

“Welcome to Leather and Lace, where our products are guaranteed to put a smile on your face,” You spoke to the man who was ogling at the lingerie selection, eyeing a particularly intricate body harness. Your soft voice caused the man to look over at you once he realized you were talking to him, him smiling nervously as he let go of the fabric in embarrassment. Chuckling softly at his reaction, you decided to make your way over to him so as not to bother your other patrons, “Is there anything I can help you look for?”

Feeling a soft tinge of redness hit his cheeks, the handsome man scratched the back of his neck nervously as he desperately wanted to turn around and leave the store. He couldn’t believe he let Changbin and Hyunjin convince him to come to a sex shop, let alone one that has a beautiful cashier that just so happened to make this experience a little harder for him. He just wanted to get some flavored condoms and get out of there, but he got easily distracted by the lace garments on display.

“Uh, yeah I was just...” the man began as he tried to search for the words to use to explain his fairly simple request, but being surrounded by sex toys and sultry lingerie wasn’t exactly helping. Assuming he was probably like your normal clientele, you simply nodded without needing him to say another word, reaching out to grab his hand and lead him over to the counter just like you had done with the couple earlier.

“Well, I take it you’re looking to explore some new outlets in the bedroom, or your friends dared you to come in here. Which is it?” You questioned as you and the man were now on opposite sides of the counter, immediately bending down to finger through your box of goodies. You figured it was probably the latter by the way he swallowed hard after you clearly outed him, his eyes falling to the counter that was currently being covered with various lubricants, condoms, and toys. He didn’t know what was worse: looking at you as you put the sex items on the counter, or watching your hands grip the various vibrators in a mildly suggestive way as you set them to the side. The slight bulge in his pants didn’t let him know either way.

Upon realizing you asked him a question, the man chuckled nervously as he finally answered you after watching you place the last item on the counter, “I uh, I was kinda dared to go in here, kinda wanting to just get some flavored condoms... But if you have any recommendations or want to show me anything, I’d be grateful for your time. I’m especially curious about that nipple cream.”

“Ooh! These are some of my favorite products,” You admitted as you grabbed at the small jars of nipple cream, each of them being different from the last. Some were flavored, some were warming, and some had both depending on how much money he was willing to spend. Smiling a little harder than you should’ve at these products due to you remembering the last time you used them with a lover, you opened the jar and took a swipe at the jelly like substance before taking a taste, “Mmm, I highly recommend the strawberry flavor.”

After watching you take a taste of the cream, the man began to strain against the counter from how you unintentionally rolled your eyes back from the insatiable taste. The manufacturers of this product had no business making these creams taste this good. But that’s kind of the whole point of the flavored creams. Still staring at you while you were busy sucking on your fingers to get rid of the remaining cream, the man finally managed to clear his throat and discovered his voice, “Mind if I have a taste?”

Assuming it was a simple, innocent request from a nice customer, you agreed to allowing the stranger to taste your product by holding out the jar to him. But instead of dipping his finger in the jar to get his fair share, the man grabbed your other hand and dipped your finger into the jar. As you eyed the stranger confusedly, you could see the man’s soft eyes harden into dark orbs of lust while he placed your finger into his mouth to lick your digit sensually. That’s a first.

Seconds later, the man slipped your finger out of his mouth and smacked his lips together, satisfied with the taste that remained on his tongue and with the way you were now looking at him with wide eyes. Never in all of your years of working here have you had a customer be so bold, bur you weren’t really complaining. The man was very attractive with a jawline carved by the gods and youthful features that you were definitely envious of. Acting on a whim, you reached over the counter and grabbed the man’s drawstrings on his hoodie, pulling him close and opting to ghost your lips over his ear, “Changing room, two minutes.”

Pulling away from the intriguing stranger to see his reaction, you were pleasantly surprised to see his lips turned upward into a wolfish grin before he turned around and made his way to the changing rooms. You on the other hand had to get all your remaining customers out of here as quick as possible or run the risk of being arrested for indecent exposure. Luckily there was only the timid couple from earlier, you pretty much running over to them to tell them the store was closing in the wake of a family emergency or some bullshit excuse. You were nice enough to give them some lubricant on the house, though.

Once you were certain all of your customers were out of the store, you took a deep breath as you locked the door and flipped your open sign to closed. You were not willing to let anyone ruin this unique experience for you. Taking a deep breath, you finally decided to turn around and make your way over to the changing rooms. It was worth noting how much your heart was racing and how your hands were starting to sweat, starting to get genuinely nervous. In al your years on this earth, you hadn’t had a one night stand with a complete stranger before.

Tonight that would certainly change as you opened the black shutter door of the biggest changing room there was, immediately being delighted with the sight of your mysterious lover being shirtless and leaning with his back against the wall. You could pretty much feel your eyes burst out of your head as you studied his body intricately, almost drooling at the sight of his well defined abs and lovely V-line that he was purposely showing off by pulling his jeans down. Traveling slightly south with your eyes, you could see the imprint of his impressive length. What have you gotten yourself into?

“C’mre babygirl, two minutes was too long,” The dashing stranger complained as he reached out to grab at your waist, snaking one arm around your waist while the other traced up your spine until his hand tangled in your air. You became speechless as you remain in his embrace, staring into his eyes before placing your hands on either side of his face to pull him in for a tender kiss. The tender kiss quickly delved into madness as the stranger pressed you up against the wall, sucking on your bottom lip before he pulled away to reveal his identity to you, “My name is Chan, pleased to make your acquaintance. Now take your clothes off for me.”

Always wanting to go above and beyond for your customers, you nodded as you made quick work of your shirt, throwing the fabric to the ground as you turned your attention to your bra. However, when you removed your bra, Chan stopped you from going any further by grabbing at your hands and placing them high above your head. Chan then leaned forward to capture your nipple in his mouth, running his tongue over it generously before you could feel him start to suck. As he was sucking, you could hear the familiar click of a certain jar opening, earning a smile from you upon realizing what was in Chan’s hand.

While Chan’s mouth was tending to the need of your pert nipple by swirling sinfully around the skin, you felt Chan’s fingers enclose around the other with a slight sticky feeling. Soon after you could feel the heating sensation on your nipple, causing you to moan out wantonly from the feeling. This was Chan’s cue to switch sides, enveloping the other bud ins his mouth that had the strawberry flavored warming nipple cream. Something told you he liked it by the way he groaned against your breast, taking his arms and fully wrapping them around you to anchor you against the wall while he sent goosebumps all over your body from his tongue.

Moans came tumbling out of your lips as you struggled underneath Chan’s grip, the heat between you two becoming unbearable. But it was all worth it was Chan was licking your nipples gleefully, relishing at the refreshing taste of strawberry as he sucked on the hardened bud. He was definitely finding out why this product as one of your favorites as he could feel you shudder in his grasp. As Chan continued to stimulate your nipples, you soon felt his fingers slip into your shorts and inside your lace panties. This caused you to gasp as Chan’s fingers were now teasing at your entrance, feeling him remove his lips from you breasts to steal another kiss as his fingers finally plunged inside.

When Chan’s fingers crammed deep inside of you, you had no choice but to cry out for him as he curled his fingers up to skim against your walls, feeling for what areas had you clenching around his fingers. Once he found your special spot thanks to you moaning loud enough for people outside to hear, he made a come hither motion over and over with his finger to watch you fall apart with just his finger.

“Fuck, Chan,” You breathed out as he was peppering soft kisses along your jawline, making his way down to your neck and licking the skin playfully. He knew how good his was making you feel, planting his thumb on your aching clit while his fingers parted your walls deliciously. “I’m gonna... I’m gonna cum if you keep g-going.” You immediately regretted admitting this to someone like Chan as you were soon met with a feeling of emptiness replacing the intoxicating feeling of Chan’s fingers filling you up.

“No you’re not princess, you’re not cumming unless it’s around my cock,” Chan growled as he was now ripping your shorts down your legs along with your lace panties that were now shamefully drenched in your arousal. When Chan saw the material hidden within your shorts, he immediately took it and placed it in his back pocket for safe keeping before licking his lips, “Alright baby, bend over in front of the mirror for me. I want you to watch me fuck you until you can’t walk.”

Nodding at his request, you walked over to the mirror until your were standing right in front of it, admiring your naked body as Chan appeared behind you. Cahn took this opportunity to snake his arm around your waist, tracing finger over the delicate skin of your hips. Even the simplest of his touches would cause goosebumps to flow over your skin, Chan’s lips forming a smirk in the mirror as he watched the reaction with his own eyes. You were completely under his spell.

Chan’s hands slowly traveled from your hips to the small of your back, pushing down slightly to have you bending over in front of the changing mirror. Chan made sure to keep eye contact with you through the mirror, nodding that you would be okay as he massaged the skin to make sure you were comfortable in this position. Taking a deep breath, you placed your hands on either side of the mirror to make sure you were supported enough to take whatever Chan had to give you. Judging by the way Chan was staring at your dripping slit hungrily as he was pumping himself behind you, you could tell he was going to be a pretty rough lover.

Without another word, Chan wrapped his hands around your hips to dig his nails into the skin for support, slowly pushing his thick cock into your shockingly tight walls. The intoxicating feeling of Chan’s thick cock stretching your walls had you struggling to breathe normally, gasping against the mirror as you tried your best to adjust. The sensation of his cock filling you up had you arching your back enough for Chan to reach out and pull your hair into a makeshift ponytail, a soft burning sensation spreading through your scalp.

“You like it when I pull your hair, don’t you baby? Man you must like it rough,” Cahn grunted as he himself was struggling to adjust to your walls suffocating his cock in the most sinful ways. This was indicative by the way he strained his neck and how his nails were digging into your skin particularly tight. Plus, you could feel his cock throbbing uncontrollably inside of you, the sensation itself causing you to mewl out for him to start moving his hips. “Hold on tight, babygirl.,, And my safe word is blue.”

With your hands planted firmly on either side of the mirror and your face inches away from your slightly fucked out reflection, slightly embarrassed how a stranger got you to this point so easily. But there really wasn’t time to reflect as Chan thrusted sharply inside of you, forcing out a strangled moan that you didn’t know was there. He began to pick up speed, pulling on your hair tighter to expose your neck to him, begging to be marked with his kisses.

Chan pressed open mouth kisses down the side of your neck while his hips worked wonders on you, thrusting deep inside of you while your arms were struggling to hold you in place. Noticing that you were struggling due to him sucking on your neck so beautifully, Chan decided to take his hand off your hip to deliver a sharp smack to your ass. “Pay attention and hold yourself up.”

A shameful moan erupted from you lips from the feeling of Chan’s handprint becoming visible on your ass, you unintentionally pushed your hips back against Chan and felt his cock hit all the right spots. Chan could see the sinful expression on your face, edging him on to go faster inside of you to bring you to sweet, sweet relief. This earned you another harsh smack to your ass, you crying out from the burning as you could feel your orgasm approaching at a rapid rate.

“Oh baby you look so good like this,” Chan praised as he was now fixated on the sight of his cock disappearing inside of your squelching hole, biting down so hard on his lip that he could feel the faint taste of copper flood his tongue from breaking the skin. This was causing him to get worked up into a frenzy, unleashing all he had inside of you with calculated strokes of his hips, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the desolate store. The heat between your bodies and the feeling of Chan’s cock hitting your sweet spot sent you tumbling into your orgasm, screaming out for your lover while your arms gave out from struggling to combat Chan’s harsh strokes.

Your walls were clenching unforgivingly around Chan’s cock as you were sent spiraling, your hot breath fogging up the mirror in front of you while you maintained eye contact with Chan through the mirror. The longer you kept eye contact with Chan, the harder it was for Chan to stop from releasing his cum deep inside of your still-trembling pussy. It also didn’t help that your walls were suffocating Chan’s cock to the point where he could no longer take it any more, groaning out and roughly palming the skin of your ass while thick ropes of cum painted your walls generously.

You don’t remember when you lost consciousness from the intense orgasm Chan just gave you, but when you came to, you awoke to Chan still slightly passed out inside of you. His torso was pressed firmly against your back as you were pretty much folded against the wall. Clearly uncomfortable in this position, you reached behind you and smack Chan on the arm playfully to wake him up, “Alright, free trial is over Chan.”

It took a while for you to wake up Chan and convince him to slide out of you since he absolutely loved seeing you in this position, but he finally slid his softening cock out of you and was generous enough to help you with cleanup. He was especially eager to clean up the cum that was sliding down the inside of your leg, slowly tracing up until he heard you hiss from rubbing your overstimulated clit. As you looked at Chan with a scolding glance, Chan simply chuckled as he stood up from completing his cleaning job and gave you a kiss on your head while he helped you get dressed.

The two of you finally left the changing rooms, adjusting areas of clothing that may have gotten too wrinkled or possibly torn during your tryst. You two made sure to get the necessary contact information before you had to send Chan on his way. But before he left, you made sure to slip a couple jars of cream into his pocket for safe keeping, him turning to you to flash a cheeky grin before kissing the top of your hand to bid you farewell.

Talk about excellent customer service.

Understanding Fossil Fuels through Carnegie Museums’ Exhibits

by Albert D. Kollar, Collection Manager, with assistance from Suzanne Mills, Collection Assistant, and Joann Wilson, Volunteer Section of Invertebrate Paleontology

The exhibits of Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Carnegie Museum of Art are ideal for a multidisciplinary study of fossil fuels in Pennsylvania and beyond. Such a study must properly begin with some historical background about the landmark Oakland building that houses both museums, as well as some background information about fossil fuels.

When the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh opened in 1895, the architects, Longfellow, Alden, and Harlow incorporated roof skylights for maximum daytime lighting in the Italian Renaissance designed building¹. Nighttime activities were illuminated by interior gas lighting fixtures, possibly supplied by the Murrysville gas field, which began production in 1878. With the opening of the Carnegie Institute Extension in 1907, the Bellefield Boiler Plant was built in Junction Hollow to supply in-house steam heat and electricity from bituminous coal¹. From the 1970’s, coal and natural gas had been used to heat the boilers that supply heat to the Oakland Campus, Phipps, the University of Pittsburgh and the Oakland hospitals. In 2009 coal was eliminated as a fuel source. Electricity on the other hand, is supplied through Talen Energy from multiple sources (coal, gas, and renewable energy sources). For the future, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh plans to receive its electricity from renewable solar energy via Talen Energy².

What are Fossil Fuels?

Coal, oil, and natural gas (methane), known collectively as fossil fuels, are sources of energy derived from the remains of ancient life forms that usually are found preserved in coal rock, black shale, and sandstone.

Figure 1.

Coal is a rock. The coalification process starts from a thick accumulation of plant material in reducing environments where the organic matter does not decay completely. This deposit of plant residue that thrives in freshwater swamps at high latitudes forms peat, an early stage or rank in the development of coal. With the burial of peat over geologic time and a low temperature form of metamorphism produces a progression of the maturity or “rank” of the organic deposits that form the coal ranks of lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite³ (Fig. 1). The Pennsylvanian Period was named for the rocks and coals of southwestern Pennsylvania that formed more than 300 million years ago.

Oil and natural gas, collectively known as hydrocarbons, were forming in the Devonian rocks of Pennsylvania between 360 and 390 million years ago. These hydrocarbon deposits or kerogens are made of millions of generations of marine plankton and animal remains that accumulated in a restricted anoxia ocean basin that extended from southern New York, through western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia to eastern Kentucky⁴. The thick layers of sediment formed black shales or mud rocks such as the Marcellus Shale. Black shales are rich in oil and gas and are called source rocks. Sandstones such as the Oriskany Sandstone that is older than the Marcellus Shale is a reservoir rock. An amorphous mass of organic matter or kerogen undergo complex geochemical reshuffling of the hydrocarbon molecules first with burial then by thermal “cracking” as heat and pressure through the geologic process of metamorphism over millions of years transform kerogen into modern day fossil fuels⁴.

Fossil Fuels in Modern Society

As commodities converted to fuels for our modern world, these resources account for 80% of today’s energy consumption in the United States⁵. All three fossil fuels, in furnaces of vastly different design, have been used to directly heat homes, schools, workplaces, and other structures. In power plants, all three have been used for generating electricity for lighting, charging mobile phones, and powering computers, home appliances, and all manner of industrial machines. In the United States, coal became the country’s primary energy source in the late 1880s, displacing the forest-destroying practice of burning wood. It ceded the top spot to petroleum in 1950 but enjoyed a late-20th-century renaissance as the primary fuel for power plants⁵. Coal now generates approximately 11% of our country’s supply down from 48% just 20 years ago. Natural gas is currently used to generate approximately 35% of US electricity supplanting the use of coal⁶. While petroleum is less than1%⁶.

Transportation accounts for approximately 37% of total energy consumption. Coal played an historic role in powering railroads, and both compressed natural gas and batteries (charged with electricity generated from various sources) are of growing importance, however, refined oil products currently power 91% of the transportation sector⁶.

Figure 2.

In the early 20th century, scientists warned about how the burning of coal could create global warming in future centuries by raising the level of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse or heat-holding gas, in the atmosphere. (Fig. 2). It took less than a century for evidence to mount of climate change associated with the burning of fossil fuels, the clearing of forests associated with industrial scale livestock production, and from waste management and other routine processes of modern life. In recent decades headlines have routinely proclaimed the risks of a warming planet, including damage to terrestrial ecosystems, the oceans, and a rise in sea level⁷.

Fossil Fuels and Museum Geology Displays

When architects Frank E. Alden and Alfred B. Harlow designed the Carnegie Institute Extension (1907), they incorporated Andrew Carnegie’s vision to create an introduction hall to the museum named Physics, Geology and Mineralogy⁸. This hall (the forerunner to Benedum Hall of Geology) was intended to introduce Pittsburghers to the regional natural history subjects of geology, paleontology, and economic geology (fossil fuels)⁹.

Figure 3.

In the 1940s, the 300-million-year-old Pennsylvanian age coal forest diorama was installed in a corner space of what is now part of the Benedum Hall of Geology (Fig. 3). Because coal converted to coke is a vital ingredient in steel production, this three-dimensional depiction of the conditions under which Pittsburgh’s economically important coal deposits formed was (and remains) an important public asset.

Figure 4.

In 1965, as part of an overall plan to bring more of the natural history museum’s fossil collection to the public, Paleozoic Hall opened with funding from the Richard King Mellon Foundation¹⁰. This exhibition featured nine dioramas that recreate the ancient environments through 290 million years of Earth history. Sadly, only one of the nine units remains on display, the diorama depicting the Pennsylvanian age marine seaway (Fig. 4), in the Benedum Hall of Geology.

Since the Benedum Hall of Geology opened to the public in 1988 the exhibition has featured an economic geology component with displays explaining differences between coal ranks Lignite coal to anthracite coal, and a variety of Pennsylvania’s crude oils and lubricants processed from the historic well Edwin Drake drilled in Titusville in 1859 (Fig. 1 )¹¹.

Figure 5.

Today, the Hall’s “strata wall,” a towering depiction of some of the rock layers found thousands of feet below western Pennsylvania, is in my opinion, an under-utilized display in terms of conveying information about fossil fuels. Although the wall is not currently documented with any geologic information, minor changes might allow visitors to use the lens of rock strata to better understand historical events such as the Drake Well, and economically important geologic reservoirs such as the Marcellus Shale (the second largest gas deposit in the United States), the natural gas storage reservoir of the Oriskany Sandstone, and the gas and liquid condensate (ethane) extracted from the Utica Formation (Ordovician Age) for making plastic products at the Shell Cracker Plant in Beaver County, PA (Fig. 5).

Figure 6.

Elsewhere in the museum, visitors can learn more about the topic of fossil fuels at several other locations. At the Holzmaden fossil exhibit in Dinosaurs in Their Time, there is a large fossil crinoid preserved in a dark gray limestone of Jurassic age, that represents a reservoir of crude oil in Germany (Fig. 6). At the mini diorama of the La Brea tar pits, oil seeps from natural fractures from an approximately six-million-year-old rock of Miocene age, to the unconsolidated surface sediment in what is now part of the City of Los Angeles (Fig. 7).

Figure 7.

Looking for Fossil Fuel Evidence in Art

In 2018, I reviewed 58 landscape paintings and the John White Alexander wall murals on the first and second floors of the Grand Staircase within Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) galleries to look for artistic documentation of what I interpreted to be causes for climate change based on the science. I found many examples based on the use of coal as a fossil fuel for power and coking in steel mills and the natural formation of bio-methane as portrayed in ecosystem landscapes of the industrial age of the middle 19th and early 20th century¹².

Figure 8.

Figure 9.

Searching for the CMOA landscapes paintings takes a little patience, but the visitor is rewarded by taking a new look at some of the art museum’s classic paintings (Fig. 8 and 9).

Figure 10.

Within day trip visiting distance of Carnegie Museums are historic plaques highlighting the discovery of coal on Mount Washington, natural gas in Murrysville, and oil in Titusville, Pennsylvania. (Fig. 10). At all three stops you’ll have a better understanding of the significance if you begin your investigation of fossil fuels at Carnegie Museums.

Nexgen Energia is providing CNG/CBG Pump dealership in India

What is Bio CBG (Compressed Biogas)? What are its benefits?

Biogas is an environment-friendly renewable energy source. The gas is produced naturally through a process that breaks organic matter like municipal solid waste, animal waste, sugarcane press mud, industrial bio-waste, and agricultural biomass and converts it into Biogas, which can be used as an automobile fuel, industry gas, and electricity in the market.

With the aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and making more our nation environment-friendly, Government of India has introduced many key government programs like SATAT scheme, Waste to energy program, National policy of Bio-fuel, Biogas scheme to have a green planet, developing rural economy while enhancing farmer’s income, Reduction in Crude and LNG imports thereby huge savings in forex, utilisation of domestic feedstock to produce biofuels, climate change mitigation, introducing upgrading technology to generate biofuels, and enabling India to create more employment and business opportunities.

Is CNG pump profitable in India?

The Compressed Biogas (CBG) market is expected to grow from USD 1.47 billion in 2022 to USD 2.25 Billion in 2029 at a CAGR of 6.3% in the 2022- 2029 period, in India. As per Oil and Natural resources minister, India will receive Rs 2 Lakh in investment to develop 5000 biogas plants by 2023-24.

I encountered this in the context of people attacking it as propaganda for some kind of vague and unrealistic left-progressive/environmentalist futurism, but I'm actually broadly in favor of the solarpunk future portrayed in that video (also apparently it's a chobani yogurt ad with all the brand-specific stuff edited out - but that doesn't bother me, I'm fine with taking commercial advertising art, excising all the stuff that identifies a specific product, and considering the rest of the art as art. And I have nothing against people trying to sell yogurt, certainly I eat it). The world portrayed here actually looks pretty nice! It is not a bad thing to live on a bucolic farm on the outskirts of a city, with a lot of small-scale solar and wind power and widespread use of drones and agricultural robots and also a nice brick house with a spacious kitchen that opens out into a greenhouse! In fact, lots of people live on nice-looking rural land right now today, and use small-scale solar and wind power and have access to things like drones and computers and houses with nice kitchens. Flying school buses and tiny weather control grids are obviously more unrealistic - but they're also *cool*, and I do actually want technologists to continue moving humanity up the tech tree, such that the practical use of technologies like these might one day be possible. This doesn't imply that the entire world can or should be this kind of farm; humanity does actually need an advanced industrial base and high levels of energy consumption to maintain the robots and blue computer screens. Perhaps in this same future a bunch of deserts are covered in gigantic solar panel arrays and there's a bunch of nuclear power plants and there are still oil refineries for making lubricants, just as all these things exist today in some form. And obviously any scene of human life is going to look preternaturally nice when animated in the style of Studio Ghibli, the production company that made this took inspiration from a justifiably worldwide-popular thing and executed it well. But man, this particular scene, from a particular optimistic (and not inherently unreasonable) vision of the future, is actually pretty nice! I don't mind people being cognizant of its potential value as propaganda or the actual technological and energy requirements for making this thing happen; but I do feel compelled to push back on the negativity some.

20 or 28 from meet ugly prompts for Malex?

Prompt: I’m a famous singer and you’re the new techie who just tripped and pulled the plug out of my microphone mid-concert [extra awkward if they lip sync, extra badass if they keep singing and their voice is still on point]

Author’s Note: I don’t love this one. It got a bit away from me. I hope you like it, though! Multiple anons asked for it, so I hate that I might not have done it justice.

Alex is distracted.

Ostensibly, the job is simple: arrange the music equipment correctly, hook it up, and stay out of the way until and unless something breaks. Maria set it up for him, some easy, part-time work in an industry he’s actually interested in to help him explore his options. Between an extended hospital stay and rehab, his honorable discharge, and falling into mind-numbing contract work for the past six months, his new normal is looking pretty bleak. But the environment backstage twenty minutes before a show is chaotic in a way that even an active war zone never felt—or maybe Alex had just grown accustomed to that particular brand of shitshow—and the physical element of the work is taking more of a toll on his leg than expected. And then there’s the guy.

Alex had done his research before agreeing to work for Michael Guerin, rising country-folk star. He’d listened to his music—twangy, and the lyrics were a little obvious, but overall Alex approved—and of course he’d seen pictures, candids from shows and promotional material. But all that is a very different experience from watching Michael lean with practiced nonchalance against the back wall just offstage, flirting lazily with the bassist from the open act. He’s no taller than Alex, really, but his body seems impossibly long, hard and lithe in tight, dark denim and a chambray shirt three haphazardly-fastened buttons away from hanging open. His curls are a little longer than Alex remembers from pictures, light brown and tousled in a way that makes Alex think of sex; and, judging by the way Michael’s companion keeps tugging at them as he grins down at her, Alex is not the only one. Michael’s smile is open and inviting, and he gives it freely, but it’s also practiced, a bit of a cipher that he passes off as innuendo. It’s a clever distraction to the poor stage manager's assistant who is hovering to the side, anxiously waiting to escort the main act; to the woman he’s talking to, who missed her cue and had to scamper onstage a full minute after the rest of her band; and, inadvertently, to Alex, who finds himself wanting to both wrap himself up in the warmth of that smile and fuck it right off Michael Guerin’s smug face.

In a way, it’s reassuring; Alex’s hasn’t experienced this kind of dizzying lust since before his amputation, and his path to reintroducing himself to his body as a tool of pleasure has been rough. Moments like this one, when Alex would like nothing more than to strip himself bare and drag every delicious ounce of gratification out of his own body—whether he does that with Michael Guerin or just thinking of him—gives Alex an intoxicating sense of hope and promise that goes deeper than the thrill of desire.

It doesn't help him concentrate, though, and between the ache in his hip, the dim lighting backstage, and the haze of lust clouding Alex's vision as he shoots another glance at Michael, now onstage and mid-croon, it feels in retrospect almost inevitable. Alex fails to pick up his foot, to see the length of cords traveling across the floor from the stage to the impressive sound system in the back, and he trips, catching himself roughly against one of the pillars that supports the backstage balcony, but pulling out at least three different wires as he goes. There's an offensively loud, metallic screech, a deep thump of bass, and Michael's voice goes from clear and booming to soft, trembling, and completely drown out by his band.

Everything that follows is in slow motion. Alex raising his head as the band stops playing and locking eyes with Michael, who gazes at him hard and steady. Alex is the only person in the vicinity, not to mention the only one clutching a pillar like a life raft, cheek pressed uncomfortably against the rough wood; there’s no way Michael doesn’t know he’s to blame. Michael holding his gaze from onstage, tapping his index finger slowly against the mic resting on the stand in front of him. When no sound reverberates, Michael shakes his head, and Alex’s eyes widen. He hears whispered shouts and scuffling behind him, but he already knows the sound system will have to be completely reset.

“Bear with me,” Michael says in a loud, clear voice to his audience, finally releasing Alex from the inescapable hold of his arresting gaze. He sweeps up an acoustic guitar from the side of the stage, waves off his band, and slides onto a stool he drags front and center from just offstage. And then he begins to sing; voice like gravel, deep and rough, projected as best he can. It’s an intimate venue and an adoring audience, and as they begin to crowd closer to the stage, falling silent all on their own and lost to the spell of Michael’s tune, it dawns on Alex that Michael Guerin is going to pull this off.

He should feel relieved, redeemed even, considering the mounting enthusiasm of the shrieking crowd as Michael performs a full hour-long set completely acoustic, no mic and unaccompanied. But the memory of Michael’s eyes on him, hard and blazing, leaves Alex unsettled and, ultimately, unsurprised when Michael finds him just outside the theatre’s back entrance after his set, the roar of an extremely lubricated crowd pleading for an encore fading as the heavy door slams shut behind him.

“Alex Manes?” he asks, leaning his forearms against the railing of the small concrete landing in a mirror of Alex’s own position.

“Yeah.”

“What the fuck, man?”

Alex winces at the rasp of Michael’s overextended voice.

“I’m sorry,” Alex breathes. “First day.”

“I get that,” Michael says with a practiced patience, running a hand through his sweaty curls. “But—You’re Maria’s friend, right? Maria DeLuca?”

Alex nods.

“Look, she told me a little, uh, a little about you. You’re background.”

Alex turns to look at Michael, brow furrowed in confusion, and Michael’s eyes slide pointedly down to Alex’s leg and back up again, meeting his gaze openly.

“If the job is too much for you right now, we cou—”

Alex cuts him off.

“I don’t need your pity,” he hisses, anger and frustration boiling over at this man who thinks he knows who Alex is, what his limits are because he knows one fucking thing about him.

“Why’d you hired me, anyway?” he demands, shaking his head and pushing off the railing to his full height to face Michael. “You obviously aren’t a fan of the military.”

Michael as a figure is inherently political—openly bisexual, a self-proclaimed descendent of Lavender Country—and his lyrics and iconography further distance him from the uber-patriotic conservativism of typical American country. It’s one of the qualities of Michael’s brand that initially drew Alex to him; but in this moment, underestimated and called out, Alex is tired of playing nice and he lashes out.

Michael rolls his eyes.

“Could ask you why you wanna work for me,” he shoots back, dropping his pretence of understanding and standing upright, turning to match Alex’s aggressive stance.

Alex glowers at him as they face off under the dull glow of the building’s security lights.

“Look, man,” Michael finally says through clenched teeth, “you want me to thank you for your service?”

Alex scoffs.

“Pass.”

“Then what do you want?”

Alex pauses. That question. That’s the million-dollar fucking question. The one Alex hasn’t been able to answer for a year, maybe longer; maybe not since he was 18 years-old and enlisting, making the decision not to choose any type of future for himself. It’s why Alex hangs out at the Pony most nights when his workday is done, desperate for distraction; it’s why he downloaded Grindr, but hasn’t set up a profile, why he jots down lyrics and music, but never plays them aloud; and it’s why Maria called in this favor with her favorite former regular who made it big.

What does he want?

To stop fucking thinking about what he wants and take it.

“I want to write for you,” Alex blurts, voice insistent and sure, his tone nearly a command. “And I want to fuck you.”

Michael laughs, loud and disbelieving. He takes Alex in, eyes dragging slowly down the length of his body, roving every inch of him hungrily before catching Alex’s gaze, smiling broad and dirty. He stares at Alex with the same insistent, heated look he shot him from onstage, a challenge and a plea, and Alex thinks maybe Michael needs to stop performing as much as Alex needs to stop thinking.

“In that order?” Michael growls, and Alex grins.

This isn’t the lazy, flirtatious Michael Guerin he saw backstage, entrancing unsuspecting underlings for sport; or the easy, charming Michael Guerin of the stage. This Michael is darker, more intent, and he pushes rather than teases as he stalks closer to Alex, crowding him against the brick wall of the building and kissing him hard and filthy, teeth and tongue and no mercy. Alex groans and fists his hands in Michael's sweaty curls, tugging them to direct the angle of his head for better access as he nips and sucks his way up Michael's throat, tasting the salt of his sweat when Alex soothes a fresh bruise with his tongue.

“You know I quit, right?” Alex pants, pressing his hips into Michael’s and smirking when Michael groans low and grinds back harder. Michael presses his palms against the wall on either side of Alex’s head as Alex reaches between them, working Michael’s belt and jeans open hurriedly.

“As long as you know you’re fired,” Michael murmurs in reply.

Alex pushes his hand down Michael’s open pants and wraps long fingers around his cock, nipping at Michael’s lower lip and grinning when he gasps, dark eyes falling shut as his hips begin to churn in time with the twist of Alex's wrist.

“Fair enough.”

Over coffee the next morning Alex shows Michael his songs, and Michael instantly re-hires him.
