5. Art, and more still - marketing!
While hot off the heels of describing cars as items with personality, there’s another perspective the matter can be approached with: art. Usually that’s a word we like to use for something inherently imbued with culture and ideas and beliefs and statements and the lot, right? I mean, my country officially recognized a car as such.
And right now, if I were a hack, I would make my case by showing you the Art Cars -a BMW project that involved getting their cars painted up by artists- unaware not just that they only prove cars can be canvases but that using them as evidence implicitly paints the world of art as a separate entity holding claim to the term and making it only ever accessible through association with it.
But I'm not a hack. So I'll only show them because they're a vaguely related cool car thing I want to brag about having seen and I show those by default.
Actually, no, too many of them are too good to ignore, I need to make a separate post about them altogether. But while we're here, let it be known that this is not a thing isolated to BMW: here's a Porsche Vision Gran Turismo (which proofreading friend of the blog @ldub0775 is not that wrong in suggesting I should make a post about) handpainted by one Vexx...
...here's a Ferrari 812 Competizione art car created by its chief designer Flavio Manzoni...
...and here's- wait wait wait, back up. I think this one's interesting for our purposes.
I mean, look at all those details. Look at all those decisions, made in sketching, carried to production, and then highlighted again with this example's art. Look at all that non-functional work. Those surfaces on the bumper can't possibly be needed for packaging. Those lines on the hood can't possibly be something airflow cares about. Those cuts on the taillights can't possibly do anything but make the thing more complicated and expensive. And really, we've gone over this, designs change even within the same car just for the sake of making it look different. How is this not human creativity being put at the service of imbuing something with some idea of beauty / emotion / meaning / message? And how can that possibly not count as art by any definition that isn't self-impressed gatekeeping?
But there's more to car design than even that, because where art is just distilled statements, car design is also what some argue you can't have in "real, pure art": marketing. Because cars market themselves, through enticing with their shapes and feels and sounds (just like people!) and channel that into marketing the brand through their badging - which can range from almost foregoing it in off-brand experiments like the aforementioned Pike Cars, in which Nissan badging was literally millimetric, to things like the Italo-Chinese DR1's endearingly embarrassing Ambassador package, which got you a discount in exchange for making your car a drivable billboard.
Hell, sometimes, in the case of 'halo cars', marketing can even be the only reason a car even exists! For example:
The LFA was a $375,000 car Lexus sold 500 of - and it cost so much to develop that the brand still lost millions on the whole affair. Or rather, spent millions making little kids all over stop thinking of Lexus as "the brand grandpa endangers road users in", and start thinking of it as "the brand capable of showing Ferrari how it's done". This car's styling, its bespoke V10 engine and the consequent performance figures, its gorgeous interior, they obviously were means to market itself, but marketing itself was itself a means of marketing the cars Lexus actually makes money on.
what do you like about cars?
I think you knew, upon asking this, that I could only ever have answered with either an ironic one-liner or a dozen-part novel. And unfortunately, this is already the second line, so novel it is. So then, without any further ado than the literal half year that’s gone by since this was asked, let's go.
1. Engineering matters
At the end of last year (aka when I started writing this, yikes) my dear old iPhone 6S moved on to a new home because it simply wasn't keeping up with me anymore. (And again, I was using an iPhone 6S in 2023. If I say a phone is too slow, it's too slow.) I had plenty of criteria for the replacement: a smallish screen not overboard on resolution, ideally a physical media control button and/or vibration toggle, repairability, a FUCKING AUX JACK... Something like the Sony Xperia 10, whose only real issue is marketing so trash you've only just now learned Sony never stopped making phones.
And yet...
This fancy wallpapers-sporting foldable is a Motorola RAZR 5G, a phone whose too-big screen already broke (though at the edge due to adhesive issues) and those who dared try warn repairing it will be as hard as phone repairs get. Why the fuck did I buy this? Well, because it has something more important than the aux jack, proper sizing, and good cameras: it made me go “That’s so cool!”, and when’s the last time a phone made you say that? It's the cusp of a new technology, and whether it becomes the future of phones, a future of phones, or just a weird footnote, it is an island of interesting in a sea of boring. And sadly, even this island is rapidly sinking. The drive for new form factors has already boiled down to the same two phones and their evolution is sinking into the usual millimetric proportion tweaking, camera rearranging, touchscreen expanding, case material switching, fingerprint sensor moving, and spec improvements not even manufacturers can come up with use cases for. I mean, seriously, how does the iPhone 15 differ from a software-updated iPhone X (which is apparently not pronounced "x", so I guess the iPhone Twitter)? Nothing is new. Nothing is tackled differently. The user experience does not differ. And why should it, when iPhone users will get a new one out of habit anyway and many are so tech illiterate moving a button could hospitalize them? Five generation newer and 150% faster are numbers you basically have to trust, because they don't make a difference that matters.
But in cars? 150% faster will matter alright. Even just looking at it. Cars are a visceral experience to even witness, let alone ride in or drive, and the frantic engineering pursuits for performance and overall capability actually have impactful real world implications beyond "some pockets will bulge 1mm less". And their engineering involves so many fields that there’s always a breakthrough going on somewhere - which leads to another reason their engineering is so interesting: there’s simply so much of it that anyone interested in engineering will find something for them, no matter their level or sector of expertise! Interested in mechanics? Well, obviously you’ll have a field day! Aerodynamics? Don't even get me started! Electronics? You're getting more goods by the year! It spread from engine management to safety assists to infotainment to ergonomic adjustments to even suspension and aerodynamics! Sound design? Even just working on the way engines sound is a profession of its own, let alone making these barrels of metal and glass propelling themselves at triple digit speeds through hundreds of explosions a second things you can comfortably have a conversation in - and that's not even mentioning horns and chimes! Hi-Fi? We’ve spent most of a century trying to get concert hall sound from a tiny tin can where everyone sits off-center and everything bumps and shakes around and you have maybe room for two components* a third the normal size and speakers can only be in a handful of places you wouldn’t want them which may well be the next room over**!
And this is just engineering.
*Like everything in the car world, there are exceptions to that
**For those unfamiliar, subwoofers, the speakers dedicated to, indeed, sub-bass, due to their frequent humongousness are often installed in the trunk.
#can we please appreciate that many of the hacks i referred to are paid living wages for less and worse writing than what this blog publishes#this is not me bragging or complaining about my numbers i am just sitting here at 1am wondering what makes me do this to myself#(it's the passion employers will exploit to get work cheaper/ free and the handful of notifications i get out of it. it's those.)#well whatever it is i'm not stopping#not now#ferrari 250 gto#art cars#porsche vision gran turismo#ferrari 812#dr1#lexus lfa

Victoria's Bio
"Regardless of my name, my ancestry or my physical characteristics, I am a living being like everyone else."
More details on Victoria is under the cut
Name: Victoria Cheung Wai
Age: 82
Height: 161 cm
Birthday: 27 Tivere 1940 (Teayim)
Orientation: Cisgender Demisexual Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Species: Chronoven (formerly human)
Title: The Eleventh Hour
Country of Birth: Labuhinera
Likes: Loyalty, straightforwardness, spicy food, cup noodles, tea eggs
Dislikes: Tardiness, indirect responses, nicknames, tomatoes
Hobbies: Paintball, cartography, cooking, chess
Personality: Serious and direct to a fault as a result of participating in conflict, also possesses a quick wit and an extremely keen eye... which is ironic as she has a rather dull personality. It has to be noted that she's willing to go along with someone's antics if she likes them enough though
Style: Military-inspired clothing that are durable and/or blend into tropical forests, wears an eyepatch over her right eye as well as a neck gaiter to hide the lower part of her face
Abilities: Able to freely cross between Ratein and the Astral Realm without the need of dimension gates. Is able to use cosmic magic, stop time, view events happening in the past, present and future, as well as cause anything that his weapon comes in contact with to 'dissociate' from existence (apart from chronovens, The Caretaker and The Artiste)
Like the rest of the Hourly Twelve, Victoria is also able to open portals that allow her to travel anywhere. Also able to reverse time, but only once and at the cost of her life. Being a chronoven, she’s only able to die either by her lifespan naturally running out, or by time reversal
Due to being caught in the claw trap, she's able to cause similar injuries towards those within a 10 metre radius by clapping her hands. The harder she claps her hands, the more painful the injury. This ability doesn't affect her though
Background: Born in Labuhinera to Portokian immigrants, Victoria grew up ostracised from her peers, who were mainly elves, dryads, and brown-skinned Haricawan human descendants that had lived in Labuhinera long before their separation from Haricawa. To defend herself, she learnt how to fight from her mother, a skilled martial artist, how to shoot from an albino dryad, and how to make explosives from sailors that docked at Labuhinera for a few months at a time
When she was 12, she had discovered a meteorite necklace washed up on the beach. Not wanting to be in trouble with the majority community, she took it with her and asked around to find out if it belonged to any of them. When no one claimed the necklace, she decided to keep it under her possession, eventually wearing it around her neck two years later after learning how much of a pain it was to hold on to it
In 1956, news of a minority being sentenced to death over the manslaughter of a Haricawan descendant was published in the national newspaper. As a result, there was an outrage amongst the majority and crackdowns on the minorities were called, marking the start of the Labuhineran Conflict
Initially, the minorities held peaceful protests and called for equal rights for those who didn't live in Labuhinera prior to the separation. However, things took a turn for a worse when a few citizens from the majority community attacked the protest group, forcing them to use violence to defend themselves. This worsened the reputation of the minorities and discrimination towards them became rampant, with their homes being set ablaze in retaliation for the violence directed towards the majority community
The matter was made worse when Haricawa expressed support towards the majority while calling for an end to the rioting in the country. The minorities was then split into two factions, the LFA faction who wanted a Labuhinera that was completely devoid of Haricawan influence, and the UEF faction who wanted a Labuhinera where everyone was equal, regardless of species or ancestry. Victoria, who wanted her family to be seen as equals, was part of the second faction and continued to participate in mostly peaceful protests
However, due to the majority viewing the minority as a combined group regardless of their beliefs, violently engaged with them. This forced the UEF faction to engage in riots, albeit milder than the LFA faction. Even so, the faction eventually armed themselves with rifles and bayonets that they had found hidden in a chest near an abandoned military base, marking the start of their violent methods
In 1959, Victoria and a few other faction members were scouting the area that the UEF faction was residing in when they were suddenly ambushed by an unknown group. As a result, her right eye was stabbed and she had to flee with the knife still in it. As she ran from them, her left foot was caught in a foot trap that her faction had laid out to deter wild animals from wandering into their hideout. Slowed down by the trap, Victoria dragged herself to a hollowed out log that was wide enough to hide her. Hearing footsteps growing fainter, she eventually left her hiding spot only to step on a landmine. This resulted in the loss of her right leg, and as she bled out, she could hear the footsteps returning
Victoria realised that it was likely that the majority community knew where the UEF faction was hiding given the landmine, which wasn't used by either faction as neither wished to hurt anyone via explosives. As the masked group approached, they tossed a greyish-blue object towards Victoria, who caught it with her right hand. She realised it too late that it was another explosive, but based on the way it was made, it confirmed her theory that the masked group was from the majority
While she managed to throw the explosive before it could explode in her face, the distance between her and the explosive was too short for her to be safe, and managed to blow her right arm off. The masked group left her to bleed to death, and as Victoria stared at the setting sun hidden by the canopy, she wished that she could live to see a Labuhinera where everyone was equal
The necklace suddenly glowed, seemingly acceding to her wish. Victoria's vision faded as she accepted her death, not expecting to wake much later in a galaxy. Greeting her was a Syeoangi doctor and Ríonach, who explained to Victoria that she had become a chronoven, a former human that had an extremely long lifespan. Shaking her head at ludicrous explanation, she wanted to leave but remembered that she had lost her right limbs earlier and thus couldn't walk
The doctor then suggested using prosthetics to regain her previous functions, something which she scoffed at due to the fantastical nature of such concept, even with magic prevailing in Ratein. He then assured her that prosthetics was indeed a thing, and that he could help her with them all while omitting that even without prosthetics, she could technically move her right 'limbs' as she wasn't human
Ríonach decided to cut in by explaining that chronovens had abilities related to time, and that should she wished, she could reverse time at the cost of her own life. Victoria responded that it was a stupid idea to go back to the past, and that she would look towards the future instead. Taking up on the doctor's offer, she started to use prosthetics despite the pain involved. As her upper right arm fragmentalised after the prosthetics were fitted, she made a promise to watch over Labuhinera as it inched closer to a new future...

🧡 Come What May by @fettuccinewrites (LFA)
Submitted by Anon
Published:2021-03-19 Completed:2022-11-23 Words:211160 Chapters:35/35 Summary: Marinette and Adrien were supposed to be the dream team: best friends and skating partners, a perfect match both on and off the ice. But when Adrien abruptly leaves and gets a new skating partner, Marinette vows to show him just what he missed out on and become a champion all on her own. Years later, an injury takes Marinette out of the competitive circuit, draining her of sponsors and confidence. Just when she’s about to give up, a certain skater is in need of a new partner and he’s requesting one person: her. If they want to become a gold medal team, they’ll have to work through their grievances or the past will keep them, and their Olympic goals, apart forever.
I’m not a figure skating enthusiast (and I’m Canadian?!), and I don’t know Fettuccine’s experience in the field, but it was written in a way that it was technical enough to be realistic, even based on personal experience, but not technical enough to spend my entire reading time on Google to figure out things. (I’ve been on Google during my reading, mind you, but it was to figure out some puns because my little knowledge in figure skating is in French).
What I liked:
Childhood friends to Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Lukagami are the real MVP (DJWifi are close second)
Plagg being a diva and a wingman (but mostly a diva)
Ladies and the Tramp
Adrien’s found family
Gabriel not being the villain (still a sh*tty dad, though)
Félila (I won’t elaborate)
The puns in the chapters
Adrienette working hard to overcome their respective mental disorders
The fact that their Free Dance is based on a real prestation. I’ve Googled it out of curiosity, and I just watched it in loop, especially one particular move I couldn’t quite understand. The costumes, the dance, all I could see was Adrien and Marinette on the ice. (My advise: don’t look at it before chapter 28 or 29, it is almost spoilery)
~~
For any fic suggestion, or to shout out a writer (or yourself), please contact me

📅 July 2023 📰 So why does my dog get Lyme disease vaccine, and I don’t? 🗞 Harvard Gazette
I was principal investigator of the Phase 3 trial of the SmithKline Beecham vaccine, the first commercially available vaccine for Lyme disease. That trial involved 10,000 people, 5,000 of whom — I’m giving rough numbers now — received the vaccine and 5,000 of whom received placebo. The single most important factor leading to the withdrawal of the vaccine was a strong anti-vaccine movement.
Some people felt that the vaccine made their post-treatment symptomatology worse. This was 20 to 25 years ago, and we did not know as much about Lyme disease as we know now. Studies that had been done of patients with Lyme arthritis showed an association between having an antibody response to the bacteria’s outer surface protein A, used in the vaccine, and developing what we call today post-infectious Lyme arthritis. But association does not prove causation, and the reason for the association was not altogether clear.
Studies suggested that there was molecular mimicry — partial sequence homology — between outer surface protein A (OspA) of the spirochete and a host protein called LFA-1, and it was proposed that this was perhaps the reason for post-infectious antibiotic refractory Lyme arthritis. The article suggesting that came out in Science the same week that the New England Journal of Medicine article was published with the results of the Phase 3 vaccine trial. This became a justification for the idea that the vaccine could make your Lyme disease worse.
However, that was shown not to be the mechanism. The reason for the association is that an immune response to OspA in the infection can be a part of an excessive inflammatory response that may set the stage for the development of autoimmune phenomena. However, vaccination alone to a single protein — OspA — does not induce this response. In other words, vaccination was not shown to be a problem.
The vaccine that is being tested now is very similar to the one that was commercially available 20 to 25 years ago. However, the particular sequence that had partial sequence homology with LFA-1 has been removed from the recombinant protein in the current vaccine.
We saw with COVID that acceptance of vaccination is problematic and could be better understood in sociopolitical terms. With an infection that is transmitted person to person, one needs to induce “herd immunity.” That is not the case with a tick-borne infection. It doesn’t matter whether your neighbor has been vaccinated. What matters is whether you are bitten by an infected tick. If one is worried about that and lives in a hyperendemic area, you can choose vaccination. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to, and it doesn’t impact your neighbor’s risk.
The medical community doesn’t have to push vaccination for Lyme disease in the same way as with a person-to-person infection. But it’s important for people to know what the risk is in their area, and it’s important to understand that the vaccine is safe and efficacious.
One thing that did not get worked out, because the old vaccine was removed from the market, was what’s needed in terms of boosters. This is not a vaccine that you take once and that’s all you need. It requires having high antibody titers [concentrations] to the spirochete’s (a spiral shaped bacteria) outer surface protein A. Antibody levels have to be high for it to be effective and antibody titers decline after vaccination. This will require boosters, but how often is not known.

Fishing area closed after North Atlantic right whale sighting set to reopen this week
A lucrative lobster fishing area in the Maritimes is set to reopen this week after a sighting of North Atlantic right whales shuttered the fishery just weeks into the spring season.
The endangered whales were spotted earlier this month in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, northeast of Prince Edward Island's Malpeque and Cascumpec Bays.
The sighting triggered a 15-day closure of popular lobster fishing grounds -- part of Lobster Fishing Area 24.
The federal Fisheries Department says the fishing area is set to reopen Friday.
But it says two surveillance flights are required before the area reopens to fish harvesters to determine whether whales are still present.
The department says a second sighting in the coming days would restart the 15-day fishing ban.
There are an estimated 340 North Atlantic right whales remaining. Two deaths have been reported in U.S. waters this year -- a 20-year-old male that was hit by a ship and a calf that showed no signs of vessel collision or entanglement in fishing gear.
Scientists report 12 right whale calves have been born this year.
The federal Fisheries Department says its so-called dynamic closure system is intended to protect whales where they are spotted to reduce the risk of entanglement in fishing gear.
If a right whale is visually or acoustically detected, a roughly 2,000-square-kilometre area is closed to non-tended fixed gear fisheries, including lobster and crab, for 15 days, the department says.
If a right whale is detected again in the same area during days nine to 15 of the closure, a 15-day extension is triggered. However, in some areas, a second sighting would trigger a season-long fishing closure.
This has caused some confusion among local fishers about whether the LFA 24 season -- which runs from the end of April until the end of June -- could restart at all.
The office of Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray said DFO does not implement season-long closures in shallow waters as they are considered lower risk areas.
"To clarify concerns raised about possible season-long closures in waters shallower than 20 fathoms, DFO would like to state that there are no season-long fishing area closures in waters shallower than 20 fathoms, where this current closure is taking place," Murray's office said in an emailed statement on Sunday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 28, 2023.
