I think P probably smells like that nice hydraulic oil scent you get in old elevators

A mix of that, leather & a touch of iron

SET TEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH FOUR

"D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" (2023 - J Yang) / "The Tragedy" (1903 - Pablo Picasso)

D.I.Y. BY JOHN WISWELL: [no additional commentary] (anonymous)

THE TRAGEDY: I was lucky enough to see it in person in D.C and I STARED at it for hours. It is one of the first art pieces that truly engaged me. Look at the depth of color in this!! There are layers and layers, scratched off and blended and mixing together. It’s blackened around the edges and in flecks across the canvas like an old photograph. This intensely emotional, impressionistic, virtuosic use of color, contrasted with thick black lines defining the people? Drives me UP THE WALL. Everybody has a foot out like it’s some macabre camp song, but only the child’s hands are visible, like they’re trying to fix something, the heaviness of which they can sense, but that they mostly comprehend as the fact that the adults are upset. PLUS the two figures on the right are both very Grecio-Roman faces, intensely shadowed, while you can SEE cubism creeping in on the woman’s face?! And the background is just three blocks of color but again they’re so varied and MOODY and evocative. This painting makes me need to vibrate at high frequencies and be crushed by a hydraulic press (@green-cargaytions)

("D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" is a piece commissioned by Tor.com for a piece of original fiction. It was done by J Yang, a queer Asian-American artist.

"The Tragedy" is an oil on wood painting by Pablo Picasso during his Blue Period. It measures 105 × 69 cm (41.3 × 27.2 in) and is held at the National Gallery of Art.)

Bad Batch Headcanons - Skin Conditions

I’ve had this on my mind for way too long now and I NEED to write it down.

For context: I think that their mutations and “enhancements” had some side effects and actually made them more sensitive or gave them some other issues, this is one of many. Maybe Regs have to deal with this too, but I’m running with the Bad Batch for now.

TW: skin conditions, acne, eczema, a little blood? self-harm and injury

Hunter

first of all - he has like the most sensitive skin ever

I’m talking unscented, only natural ingredients, ph-neutral, everything you can imagine

soap made from ash, lime and oil, like, really specific and gentle shit

but on the other hand worst mixed skin ever, goes from crazy oily to dryer than Tatooine at least once a week

he’s either looking like a glazed donut or a shedding lizard

he’d straight up put cooking oil on his face bc “oil is good for dry skin, right?

someone tell this man how to take care of himself istg

bandana hides his greasy roots

bandana may be tied in different styles to hide his dandruff

he‘s highkey insecure about it

he‘s shedding like a dog, his hair is everywhere

in the shower, on the bed sheets, in the food if he cooks

if he ever shaves, doesn’t matter where or how he’s getting the worst razor burn and ingrown hairs ever

he’s getting all the issues

also, a big candidate for body acne?

he gives me back acne vibes

doesn’t wash his bedsheets or towel nearly often enough

they actually all (accidentally?) share a towel and never wash it, I’m convinced

Tech

his skin is dry af like, eczema / neurodermitis / psoriasis dry

especially his hands and joints, like the inside of knees and elbows

and around his eyes, especially because of his goggles/glasses, but also in the corners

he researched everything but sometimes just can’t help it and almost scratches his skin off

Hunter makes him wear cotton gloves when he goes to bed

that’s why he never sleeps

Crosshair straight up ties his hands with bandages so he can’t scratch himself

also a very dry scalp / dandruff candidate

should spend all of his time moisturising

tinkering around the marauder and getting into contact with motor oils/hydraulic liquids/fuel only makes it so so so much worse

doesn't wear skin protection, especially not gloves because it 'inhabits his motor functions'

don't get me started on his nails and nailbeds, because I can see how inflamed and irritated the skin is

the skin also peels off

sweaty hands

has a lot of moles?

stresses about said moles

Wrecker

has the nicest skin ever

except for a big pore / blackhead here and there

usually around the nose or on his forehead

literally the guy who either doesn't use soap or uses the same bar of soap to wash everything

it works

healthy glow might be mistaken for oily skin but it's actually not

actually gets a sunburn often, especially on his head, but refuses to do anything about it

turns into a lobster on uv-light-intense missions

red skin, really tight and shiny

sometimes, if crosshair is feeling really mean he gives him a brotherly slap on the sunburnt shoulder

he gets mouth sores sometimes, like cold sores?

also very attractive to mosquitos? he sweats a lot

scratches his mosquito bites so there are little scars all over his body

really random but occasionally he gets like one big aggressive butt pimple and can't sit for a few days

is very vocal about said butt pimple

Crosshair

my beloved

he's also getting all the issues

had very bad acne as a cadet

especially around his chin and cheeks to the point he straight up refused to take off his helmet

now that he's done with puberty he has a bunch of acne scars left

still breaks out sometimes

very sensitive to water - he just washes his face like usual and suddenly breaks out because that particular planet's water is 'weird'

so much acne but dry af skin, it's hard to combat

skin picking as self harm

aggressive nail biter; not only the nails but the skin around it

he's actually one big hangnail

and his nailbeds and sides are always inflamed

toothpicks to stop him from picking his skin

or to try to stop him from smoking but this is not a mental health / addiction headcanon

I'm convinced he has the ugliest, driest old man elbows and knees, I just know that they look weird

Echo

technically a reg, I know

but his prosthetics sometimes don't sit right, so there's a lot of friction and a high risk of irritated skin, blisters and sores

he's so pale - not surprised at all if he gets sunburnt quickly

reminds everyone to use lotion / sunscreen

learned the hard way bc he listened to Fives

tries to keep everyone from making stupid mistakes

buir mode activated

Omega

baby

baby skin

for now

Echo attempts to keep her in check

gets one really bad sunburn and learns her lesson

can't move for 3 business days

also, not a skin condition but she spends 5 seconds in direct sunlight and is just covered in freckles

have this wip of a freud/621 pwp where they're fighting while they're fucking you're welcome (this wip is mostly sfw)

Freud was on the hunt. 

The heavy footfalls of his steel-capped boots echoed loudly as he prowled through the dimly lit storage facility for the Vesper’s main base of operations in Belius, the towering stacks of shipping containers and crates creating an angular maze with plenty of dead-ends and blind spots. His only source of light was his flashlight that normally hung from his toolbelt when he wasn’t in his piloting rig - after all, if he wasn’t piloting, he was doing mechanical work on LOCKSMITH. 

Or hunting his favourite playmate. 

Belius was in its night cycle, and most good little pilots like Pater were in their bunk, snoring away. But their newest and most difficult member? V.VII Raven was scurrying around after hours, throwing up the figurative middle finger at his enforced curfew despite Snail’s teeth-gritted demands for him to adhere to Vesper hierarchy. 

If it were anyone else, Raven would’ve been tossed headfirst into re-education until his surprising rebelliousness had been stamped out, but fortunately for him, Freud intervened on his behalf. He liked Raven as he was: feral, vicious, always looking minutes away from ripping out his throat with his teeth - and as V.I, he overruled V.II’s increasingly strained suggestion to bring that mutt to heel.

Like hell. Freud was letting this beast run loose for the fun of it. It was Snail’s own fault if he kept letting himself get bitten. 

(He wasn’t even being figurative about it. Since capturing Raven and browbeating him into uneasy compliance by holding Walter’s life over his head, Snail had been bitten by Raven on four separate occasions, the last almost resulting in a lost thumb. To be honest, Freud was pretty certain Snail deserved it in some way. You’d think he’d learn to stay away after the first time, let alone the third.)

While Raven was obedient in terms of carrying out Vesper missions flawlessly, outside of the cockpit he was an agent of surly chaos. Freud thought it cute, though, and he always enjoyed these little games of theirs. After all, there was a reason why Freud was in the storage facility after hours, wandering around this faux maze with nothing but a little flashlight lighting his way… 

“Raven~” Freud called in a teasing lilt. “I know you’re here. You didn’t cover up your trail very well…”

A trail that Freud could see crystal clear beneath the glare of his flashlight. Small boot prints tracked across the concrete floor, an oily sheen to them: because it was an oil, and probably a mix of lubricant and other fluids required for effective AC functioning. Freud had tracked this trail from LOCKSMITH’s sabotaged hydraulics and fuel system all the way to this storage facility, more amused than annoyed about the damage to his AC. 

It was an easy fix, barely a few hours of work. Besides, the aim wasn’t to sabotage LOCKSMITH, it was to catch Freud’s attention. 

He followed the dwindling boot prints until he came to a dead-end… at a glance. He scanned the towering containers, just in case Raven was lying in wait for him up there (happened last time, where the little bastard had jumped on Freud like a rabid monkey and tried strangling him), but there was nothing he could see. However, the dead-end was a wall, and that wall had a ventilation opening, just big enough for someone as small and scrawny as Raven to slither into. 

Said ventilation opening had its grate removed too. 

“Really,” Freud sighed, kneeling down in front of it and shining his torch up there. “How am I meant to fit in there…” 

He could probably squeeze in and have enough space to crawl, but he’d be damned if he encountered a sharp corner. He wasn’t that flexible, and unlike the augmented assholes in the Vespers, Freud was beholden to the march of time. He was in his late thirties, and his joints weren’t as bendy as they used to be. Though, maybe he could-

“Ngh!”

-a sudden weight rammed into his back, and it was only his quick reflexes that stopped him from braining himself against the edge of the ventilation duct. He frantically slammed his forearm against the wall, and pushed back, landing hard on whoever had body slammed into him and hearing that familiar, wheezy grunt of Raven having all the air squashed out of his lungs. It was a very distinct noise.

Cheeky little- he ambushed him!

Grinning ferally, Freud twisted around and tried to get Raven into a headlock, but the smaller mercenary was as slippery as an eel. He dropped his flashlight during the fray, a stray kick sending it spinning and half-blinding him as he wrestled with Raven in the dark. The merc didn’t hold back his punches at all - literally. Freud had to bite back a grunt of pain when Raven full on slugged him in the chest, clearly going for the solar plexus and narrowly missing it - but it left him open in exchange. 

Freud grabbed his arm and twisted it violently, Raven letting out a strained, gasping snarl of pain, and slammed the mercenary face down on the floor. Raven thrashed and squirmed underneath him, even trying to twist around to bite him, but with his arm firmly held against his back, he wasn’t going anywhere. 

Freud was the victor, and he took his rightful throne of sitting on the back of Raven’s thighs as a result. 

“Well…” he panted, winded from that punch. Even if it missed his solar plexus, it still knocked the air out of him, damn. “You got me good for a second there, scavenger bird.” 

Raven hissed at him like a cat. 

“You were hoping to concuss me, hm?” Freud murmured, his blood still running hot but not quite clouding his mind as he thought back to that whole exchange. It would’ve worked. If Freud hadn’t been so quick on his reflexes, he would’ve smashed face first into the wall, leaving him disorientated. Raven would’ve capitalised on that, and…

But, it didn’t quite work out like that. Freud had been that little bit faster, but the ambush had still been pretty good. Freud got a little too complacent. 

“Looks like I won, though.” Freud shifted his weight and, still keeping Raven’s arm twisted behind his back, pressed his body in close, so he could murmur into his ear: “That means I get to decide the penalty.”

Raven didn’t respond or move. His free arm was slightly extended past his shoulders, and the narrow beam of his flashlight shone directly onto his scarred fingers. They were twitching slightly, like Raven was fighting down some sort of response, and Freud couldn’t help but smile. Down but not beaten… if Freud wasn’t careful, Raven might try going for the eyes again. 

Keeping his heavy-lidded gaze on Raven’s twitching fingers, he nosed his dark, half-curled hair before gently biting his ear. The mercenary flinched beneath him, and Freud pressed his half-hard erection against the firm swell of Raven’s ass, grinding languidly. 

Raven’s twitching fingers curled into a loose fist.

Fine Print

Ai was walking around The Cube when her sensors picked up sounds of glass cracking and flesh squelching. Her eyelights hollowed, shaking. Her pace quickened as the noises became louder, and groans were added to the mix. Her core began beating in her chest as she raised a hand shakily, knocking on the shut metal door, where the noise was at its loudest.

"Cassidy?" she stuttered.

Silence.

"Cassidy, are you in there? Are you okay?" Her voice was quivering.

A low groan graced the young drone's auditory sensors, and were met with a gulp in return. Once more, she opened her mouth to speak.

“...go away,” came a gruff, feminine voice.

“Cassidy, wha—”

“I said go away!” the voice shouted.

Ai stepped back with a gasp, eyes widened. What did she do? Her body began shaking in its entirety, as her core felt like it was going to burst out from her chest. Time froze, and she took a couple breaths.

With her eyes furrowed and fist clenched, she stepped up to the door, and pressed the button on the wall beside it. Instantly, hydraulics hissed as the door was raised up, allowing her to see inside.

Immediately, her hand moved to cover her mouth as she took in the sight. The bed was stained by mixtures of oil and blood, shattered glass and chunks of flesh scattered among the poolings. In the middle of the bed, a disheveled drone sat crouched forward on her knees. Long black hair that was normally straight was now messy, its texture matted. Her eye was a piercing red, but currently closed on the one half of her visor not covered by bandages. A stained and very faded yellow shirt was all that covered her body.

“Why are you here?” she asked, large intakes of air separating each word. “I told you to”— a hand was placed over her mouth, before a large amount of oil spewed from it, causing the drone to hack and cough—“I told you to leave. You shouldn't see this.”

Ai clenched her shirt, hand covering where her core would be seen. Any semblance of determination or bravery had become as shattered as the various glass casings on the ground.

Her voice stuttered a lot. “What is this?”

Cassidy coughed more, expelling the rest of the oil in her throat. “Something I have to do sometimes.”

“But”—she looked down at her shaking chassis—“it looks like you're… eating drone cores.”

Ai looked into the eye of her sister, and when Cassidy responded by narrowing her eye and turning away, she felt her core drop.

“Why? I-I know solver drones and disassembly drones need to ingest oil, but cores?”

Cassidy, using any strength she could muster, turned back to face Ai, and her eye hollowed when she saw the way the young drone looked at her, several lines forming under it.

She choked on her words as she spoke. “I'm sorry. You shouldn't have seen this. Please.” Digital tears began to prick her frowning face. “Please, just leave.”

The world was frozen. She couldn't hear a thing over the sound of her own core trying to burst out her chassis, yet despite this, every drop of oil off the sheets and onto the ground was deafening. It was like her processors were overclocked, and her cooling didn't seem like it could keep up. Memories, thoughts, feelings. It all raced through her consciousness. Times spent with Cassidy. With her sister. The sister hunched in front of her right now, coughing up oil and blood. That's right. They were family, and she knew Cassidy. She knew the drone she called family, or, did she? No, she couldn't think that.

Core beating at unbearable speeds, she asked her sister, “How can I help?”

Said sister's eye widened as some of the lines vanished and her lip quivered. “What?”

“How can I help you, Cassie? I'm sure you have a reason for”—Ai covers her mouth to stop a rush of simulated nausea—“this. You may be rough sometimes, but you aren't a bad person. So let me ask again.” She cleared her throat, her core’s beating slowed, and her green eyes looked into Cassidy's red one. “What can I do to help you?”

Cassidy stared at the drone she called a sister. She stared for what felt like an eternity, only to turn her gaze downwards and sigh.

In a somber voice, she replied, “I don’t know.”

Biafra: The Rising Sun of Africa

Biafra is a land bubbling with abundant human talents and resources. This is apart from the crude oil, God has blessed us with in the land. But, we are under subjugation by Nigeria Authorities since time immemorial. Independence of Biafra will be a great boost to our potentials. It will be like releasing the lions out of the zoo. We are really in a “Zoo Republic: with restrictions and maltreatments here and there.

Independent Biafra will be a land of milk and honey. Currently, we are wallowing in abject poverty and penury, in the midst of plenty. Our people in diaspora, are making waves in all areas of human endeavours in: manufacturing, medicine, engineering, agriculture, internet, name them. They are among the best, if not the very best. But right here in Nigeria, talents are being killed.

Nigerian authorities prefer foreign goods and services at exorbitant prices, to patronizing locally made ones, especially the ones from Biafra. Take for instance importation of refined petroleum products. Most of those locally constructed refineries, (they call them illegal refineries) in occupied Biafra, if licensed to operate, are capable of meeting our local consumption needs; and even exporting to neighbouring countries. A lot of those manning the local refineries are qualified Engineers and Technicians, who couldn’t gain employment in Federal Establishments like NNPC, due to tribalism and nepotism of Hausa/Fulani Government. The latter will always destroy those structures and round the people up.

We call on tribal Nigerian Government to reopen Chemical Engineering Department of University of Nigeria Nsukka in Biafra, shut down after the Nigeria civil war. The department played prominent role in the refining of crude oil into very clean: petrol, kerosene, diesel and other products. They were of very high quality. The school was also involved in production of hydraulic brake fluid for cars. Cocoa nut fluid was mixed with other substances to form it. They as well produced aviation fuel. The continued closure of the department is retrogressive.

Engineer Ezekiel Izuogu was frustrated from having car manufacturing company. He wanted to use hundred percent local materials. He produced a sample of the car. He made passionate appeal to the government for help. His request was never granted. One night, unknown gun men went and carted away his inventions. Those items couldn’t be traced anywhere till today. That ended his ambition. Nigeria is a land that kills talents.

A lot of inventions are going on in Biafra on daily basis. People are inventing cars, airplanes, generators without fuel, and so on. There is no encouragement. The Government won’t allow their products to be patronized by people, even if they are better than imported ones.

Biafra will be an advanced and industrialized country, shortly after its freedom from Hausa/Fulani colonialism. Biafran Government will revive moribund industries, and companies that litter our land. There will be massive employment opportunities. Youths fleeing abroad for means of livelihood, will be thing of the past. Crime rate will drastically reduce, as almost everybody will be engaged in one useful venture or another. Idle mind they say is the devil’s workshop.

Currency of the land of rising sun will be strong and stable; comparable to strong foreign currencies, like dollar and Euro. Black marketing of foreign exchange by Northerners, have been causing downward plunge of naira for decades now. Their bothers in Government give them those hard currencies, stolen from oil sale proceeds, to sell at ever increasing high rate to naira.

“Give them Biafra, in the next 20 years their country will become paradise”_ Gowon told Buhari.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, they will become the world power”_ Queen told Obama.

“Give them Biafra in the next 5 years, we will become their slave and be begging them for food”_ Nigeria told UN.

“Give them Biafra in the next 50 years, each Biafra will be richer than any Governor in the world”_ the economist told the world.

“If Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. I repeat, if Nigeria refuses to give us Biafra, every living thing in it will die. BIAFRA OR DEATH”_Nnamdi Kanu told the world.

When Biafra is firmly established, we are going to take the world by storm.

Biafra needs a new generation of leaders, who are seriously involved in the struggle for actualization of our land. No saboteur, collaborator with Hausa/fulanis, or rogue politician, will be allowed to participate in the governance of the land. Currently, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the undisputed Biafra apex leader; along with his colleagues in IPOB. He has demonstrated the real leadership qualities, and unshakable commitment to the struggle. He has refused to be bribed or intimidated into submission. He rejected bribes money running into billions of dollars. God Almighty has actually entrusted him with the leadership of Biafra.

We won’t permit vultures and traitors, hiding under leadership of one socio-cultural organization or the other, to hijack the leadership or governance of Biafra. Take for example Ohaneze. The so-called leaders are elected, or selected by handful of members. They are never elected by the generality of Igbos. They are never representing Igbos or their interests. These crooks are only after their own selfish interests. Such persons use their headship of those mushroom groups, to sell out their people to Northern dominated Nigeria Government, for one favour or the other.

Most of them are discredited “retired politicians.” Some of them were former Ministers, Governors and Federal legislators; while some are still at the corridor of power. They are being used to undermine Biafra struggle, in pursuit of so-called Igbo President. Igbo elite are the most gullible, and self-centred set of people on earth. As well, they allowed themselves to be deceived, used, and dumped by their ill-educated, and half-educated Northern rulers for decades now.

While in office, these charlatans from Biafra loot the treasury under their care with impunity. They stockpile billions of stolen money, with the intention to pursue their narrow Presidential, or Vice Presidential ambitions; which they can never realize. They begin by buying their way, to become Presidents of socio- cultural groupings. We won’t allow them to play any leadership role in Biafra; even advisory role. They cannot reap where they didn’t sow. You cannot make a rogue your adviser.

Igboland is not landlocked. It is the imagination of our oppressive rulers, since the so-called independence. Our land was excluded in the establishment of seaports, among other deprivations. The Orashi River in Oseakwa Ihiala LGA, in Anambra State, is the closest potential seaport we have in Igbo land, that links to Atlantic Ocean. Lagos seaport to Atlantic Ocean is 60 nautical miles. Oseakwa project abandoned in 1959, is only 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. When dredged, Oseakwa seaport can conveniently serve people in South South, South East, and part of Middle Belt. It is potentially the deepest seaport in Nigeria.

Osemoto in Oguta, Imo State is another potential seaport, which is also 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. It is the deepest natural harbor in the country; over 20m deep. We are being relegated to the background, in all spheres of life. But Biafra restoration will take care of all these deprivations. https://powertrumpeter.org/blog2/?p=309.

Outsider pt 1 (3/19)

Outsider Series

3. Strange Weather

The odor of motor oil mixed with gasoline and hydraulic fluid coaxed him awake.

Heavy lids fluttered open under dirty strains of hair. His head hung at a neck breaking angle, it throbbed at the temple when jerked to lift it. Fragments of his memory flickered, dull images of violence floated in and out of focus. She was there, the face of a woman-scared and hunted, but there none the less. Black hair surrounded a brown angelic face, a mouth stretched in pain, and tears-so many tears.

His thoughts were interrupted by the distant beating of helicopter blades that reverberated around. The sound derailed any effort he was making at rebuilding the last few hours. He shifted his weight to the left to ease the ache in his ribs, he pulled at his arm but nothing gave.

Bucky turned his head toward a large machine where his metal arm laid trapped in a vice.

“Hey Cap!” The voice of a man called out.

Bucky heard the footfalls of two men coming toward him as he slowly shifted up his body. The tall dark figure of a man, Sam Wilson, approached first, but his eyes slid to the man he knew to be his friend.

“Steve.” He croaked.

America’s soldier took tentative steps toward him.

“Which Bucky am I talking to?” He demanded.

“Your mom’s name was Sarah.”

He caught the memory that swirled into his mind of Steve before the serum. He could still see the skinny young man as he was, determined.

“You use to stuff newspaper in your shoes.” He chuckled, the sensation nearly felt foreign to him as it slipped out with the memory.

“You can’t read that in a museum.” Relieved, Steve allowed this small victory.

“Just like that we’re supposed to be cool?” Sam said bluntly.

Bucky knew the answer before he asked as to how he got out of the JTC. Same as it always was.

Fighting.

“What did I do?”

“Enough.” said Steve.

“Oh god, I knew this would happen. Everything Hydra put inside is still there. All he had to do was say the god damn words.”

There was a time in his life where his mere presence baited attention from the room. With jazz in his step and that supple cool gaze he absorbed the admiration. A magnetic charming personality seeped from a young vibrant smile. His eyes dazzled and usurped the will of both men and women alike when he glanced at them. He was a man’s man, a woman’s best dream, and he found himself effortlessly loving it.

He once had dreams of being a top savvy business man who traveled, hell, maybe even an artist. As a young man, he spent his time on the outskirts of social circles. He liked to dip in and sneak out, taking only what he needed from them in the end. Leaving his soul fed with a reality of his making.

The dreams of the present, those damn dreams. They peppered his mind with scenes of madness. Eliciting dark fantasies of stripping freedom from people where he had none. The dark visions insisted violence where he wanted nothing more than peace. But he allowed them to sustain the deep sorrow. anyway.  It meant he was alive at least. Though peace of mind never looked so good and at the same time never looked so far away as it did in the medical facility in Wakanda.

“I can’t trust my own mind.”

The memories would have to quiet now. Sleep was coming, a deep agitated slumber to ease the brutality of his actions into a dreamless hibernation.

“I think going back under is the best thing. For everybody.”

But he could fall asleep to visions of her. The one he had stolen her sense of safety from. He could see pieces of the moment now if he thought on it long enough. 

And he did in the few days since Siberia. When he had ripped her happiness away. He wouldn’t wish those images on his worst enemy. In these last few minutes before going under he could give it back though. 

In his own way, under his own control he could alter that moment in his mind. Maybe in a way his soul could be forgiven for his actions. So Bucky imaged a better outcome for her and him. One where she wasn’t terrified and where he could see a smile instead of that heartbreaking frown of horror.

He had been thinking about her long before this moment occurred. Rehashing and pasting together what happened piece by fragile piece. And it had alarmed him at first when he caught on to the obsession of remembering. But he never was very good at keeping up with the morals of others. It was no use trying to live up to their ideals, anyway. Except to gauge where he could lose himself in the in between of their structured ethics and values. He had nothing to lose.

He lay back in the pod, taking slow deep breaths, and the sounds of clicking and prodding were ignored. He didn’t mind it. And he did not let it become a nuisance to the image he saw behind his eyes lids.

Her heart was full of happiness. The love he felt when he gazed at those chestnut colored eyes of hers was immeasurable. What a pretty girl. It was like looking at a piece of him that had long been lost to time and torture. She lived free and untamed who, like him, was in touch with her desires for stability but appreciated the fresh and unseen. And he knew that he only had to ask her to follow him. Together they could chase freedom. But he watched her smile in his dream, a smothering goodness radiated from bright loving eyes. She was a work of art that emitted serenity and security, the person he wished he was now. Hair the color of black jade tickled his palms as she leaned into him.

She wasn’t scared of him.

She was his home for now.

She sustained him.

He would let this beautiful dream take him as he felt the broken parts of his mind shut down.

Heron of Alexandria invented a mechanical theatre. 1900 years later, I have created a hydraulic successor and with it I have given Heron over to his torture. 

In short, I have arranged a device for the compression of birds.

There is in this machine a relative of the egret. Every time I peer into my garden, I see the retracted neck atop its pedestal. 

According to the instructions that should have been passed down from Heron (but were not), to arrange an automatic theatre one needs a tight latex suit and a ball gag – one with repurposed breathing holes.

Heron never managed to write this, but I can write it now:

Let there be wine and white milk spurting out of the beak and mix in a pool below for others to ingest.

This takes place as follows: Two small pipes are attached beneath the bird’s feet, protruding from two holes in the surface of the pedestal. Let the pipes extend upward, past the folded legs, into the latex integument and through the cavities of the bird with their openings attached to inward face of the ball. Wine and milk is pressured through these pipes to pour out of the gaping beak.

The automaton takes is driven by the movements of the body inside the latex integument whose energy it harnesses to power the action of a pump.

About the movement of the theatre, Heron should have written that the pedestal slides back and forth on a rail, pulled by knotted ropes drenched in oil. And I say now in addition, let the inside of the latex integument also be covered in a generous amount of oil. That is, behind the latex there is a need for lubrication, though I must add that it should never be so much as to spill behind the gag, for that is the domain of the two pipes that exude wine and white milk and it may not be contaminated by any other liquids. The innermost space must thus be parched aside from wine and white milk (one might devise a motorized pump to extract bodily effluvia in the opposite direction (these are to be discarded and never seen by any audience)).

Against an arrangement such as the one described here the first threat is a rapid expansion of the compressed state. Although the relative of the egret has come to enjoy its situation with time (or has at least accepted it), until then the threat of uncontrolled expansion remained very serious. To avoid it, I used to stand for a time in the garden and examine my hydraulic display on a daily basis. I still polish its exterior and add oil when it is needed but with far less urgency. That way, the arrangement can be maintained for a long time and I will not grow bored of its appearance.

Principles of sympathetic torture

Heron of Alexandria was a first-century mathematician, inventor and the author of numerous technical manuscripts including two treatises on the construction of automata. An automaton in the relevant sense is a mechanical imitation of life. Ancient and medieval automata were spectacular instruments of wonder, built to bedazzle foreign envoys and royalty.

My hydraulic Heron owes its existence to a German by the name of Moritz Schreber. In the middle of the 19th century, Schreber brought the history of automata to its virtual termination by creating various contraptions that reduced human children to little engines. His machines were built to be moved by children and to move the children in turn. Whereas an automaton mimics life, life now came to mimic the machine. So rather than remedying newborn bodies maligned by the overcrowded cities of the industrial age, which was Schreber’s official motivation for building his contraptions, he unwittingly short-circuited the distinction between animal and machine by giving purposeless labor its proper purpose in augmenting purposelessness. The history of the automaton really ends at the modern gym, where it becomes a tributary to the history of corporeal punishment or gratuitous torture. 

A still unmentioned fact is that the arrangement with the relative of the egret described above was recorded with a hundred chameleons attached to the surrounding walls with duct tape. I did not mention it because such pictures never last for long and for fear of compromising the secrecy that is absolutely indispensable for constructing automata today.

But now that it is done and Truth has fallen on the history of Heron’s mechanical theatre, I can divulge its essential principles with perfect clarity.

The first principle completes the history of automata by inverting it, turning it back against life. The mechanical theatre with the hydraulic Heron is more than an image of life, it is life broken into an image of life as it reaches the high-point of second-order mimicry. Schreber, on his part, went just this far.

The second principle is shared with sympathetic magic.

Belief in magic is not required to appreciate the hydraulic Heron. On the contrary, it is magic which relies on the affinity of apophenia and the psyche, the innate tendency to believe that an image and its likeness really belong together.

Today no one can believe in the psyche, in consciousness, in magic or in anything like that.

All that remains after these ghosts were eliminated from our shared vocabulary are the formal rules of correspondence and association, capable of cutting across time. These rules are real.

This is to say

That

The first principle operates through the second principle;

That

The history of the automaton is completed through an inversion that mimics the mimesis of life in the sense that it reenacts, and therefore undercuts, the act of connecting Like to Like.

A Motorized Bicycle Parts Explained - Anatomy Of A Motor For A Bicycle

The components of a motorbike work together to create a bicycle capable of providing efficient transportation over short to medium distances. This article's goal is to educate readers who are unfamiliar with a motorized bicycle about each component's function. Motor for a bicycle is a two-wheeled vehicle equipped with an engine that provides propulsion. Let's explore its anatomy in more detail.

Frame: The frame forms the backbone of the motor for bicycle, providing structural support and housing for other components. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the forces and vibrations generated during operation.

Engine: The engine is the heart of the motor bike, generating power to propel the vehicle. It can be either a two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engine. Two-stroke engines are simpler and lighter but require a mixture of fuel and oil. Four-stroke engines are more complex but offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Fuel Tank: The fuel tank stores the gasoline or fuel mixture required to power the engine. It is usually located in the front or center of the frame, and its capacity can vary depending on the design of the motorized bicycle.

Carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing the fuel and air in the correct ratio before it enters the engine for combustion. It regulates the fuel flow based on the throttle position, ensuring optimal engine performance.

Exhaust System: The exhaust system consists of a series of pipes and a muffler that expels the burnt gases produced during the combustion process. It helps reduce engine noise and directs the exhaust gases away from the rider.

Transmission: Motor for a bicycle typically uses a chain or belt drive system to transmit power from the engine to the rear wheel. The transmission may include a gearbox with multiple gears to provide different speed options.

Clutch: The clutch allows for smooth engagement and disengagement of power between the engine and the transmission. When the clutch lever is pulled, it disengages the engine from the transmission, enabling the rider to change gears or come to a stop without stalling the engine.

Throttle: The throttle is a control mechanism that regulates the engine speed and power output. By twisting the throttle grip, the rider can increase or decrease the amount of fuel and air entering the engine, thus controlling the vehicle's acceleration.

Brakes: These are equipped with brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle. The most common types of brakes used are drum brakes or disc brakes. Drum brakes consist of a brake shoe that presses against the inside of a drum attached to the wheel, while disc brakes use a caliper and brake pads to clamp down on a disc attached to the wheel.

Wheels and Tires: Motorized bicycles typically have two wheels, each equipped with a tire for traction and shock absorption. The wheels can be made of steel or aluminum, and the tires vary depending on the intended use of the motor for a bicycle, with options for on-road or off-road riding.

Suspension: Suspension systems are used to absorb shocks and provide a more comfortable ride. These often feature suspension forks in the front and either spring-based or hydraulic shocks in the rear. These components help to smooth out bumps and uneven terrain.

Lighting: To ensure visibility and safety, motor bikes are equipped with lighting systems. This includes headlights, taillights, and turn signals. These lights can be powered by the electrical system of the motorized bicycle or, in some cases, by a small battery.

Controls and Instruments: These have various controls and instruments to provide essential information to the rider. This includes handlebar-mounted controls for the throttle, clutch, brakes, and lights. Instruments such as a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge may also be present to keep the rider informed about the vehicle's performance and status.

Display: These days, almost all bike kits and complete bikes come with a rather complex display computer that serves as a dashboard for monitoring operations. From the early days of e-bikes, when the majority of systems only had a few LEDs to display the battery level, this is a wonderful improvement. 

Kickstand: A kickstand is a small mechanism attached to the frame that allows the motor for a bicycle to be parked and supported in an upright position when not in use. It provides convenience and stability when the rider needs to park the vehicle.

These are the primary components that make up the anatomy of a motorized bicycle. By combining these elements, motor for bicycle provide an efficient and convenient mode of transportation for short to medium distances, offering riders the benefits of both a bicycle and a motorized vehicle.

The Environmental Impact of Natural Gas Generators: Unveiling the Hidden Costs

Natural gas has long been touted as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil in the world of energy production. With the promise of lower carbon emissions and a reduction in air pollutants, it has quickly gained traction as a favored energy source for both industrial and residential use. Among its most common applications are natural gas generators, which power everything from small appliances to large-scale industrial facilities. However, as we navigate the complexities of climate change and sustainability, it's important to look beyond the immediate advantages of natural gas and examine its environmental impact. While it's true that natural gas generators are cleaner than their coal-powered counterparts, they are not without their own set of environmental costs. In this post, we’ll delve into the effects of natural gas generators on the environment, from greenhouse gas emissions to ecosystem disruption, and explore alternative solutions. If you're looking for more details on energy-efficient solutions or natural gas generator services, check out Masteraire.

1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Lesser Evil? Natural gas is often considered a “bridge fuel” in the transition toward renewable energy sources, largely due to its lower carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions compared to coal and oil. Burning natural gas releases about half as much CO₂ per unit of energy produced as coal, making it an attractive option for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. However, this does not mean natural gas is free from contributing to global warming.

Natural gas is primarily composed of methane (CH₄), a greenhouse gas that is far more potent than CO₂, with a warming potential over 25 times greater over a 100-year period. While methane emissions from natural gas combustion are relatively low compared to coal, the extraction, transportation, and storage of natural gas can lead to significant methane leaks, especially in practices like hydraulic fracturing (fracking). These leaks can drastically undermine the environmental benefits of natural gas by increasing its overall greenhouse gas footprint.

2. Air Quality and Health Concerns – Natural gas combustion still releases harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants contribute to the formation of smog, acid rain, and ground-level ozone, which can harm respiratory health and exacerbate conditions like asthma and bronchitis.

While these emissions are lower than those produced by coal and oil, they are not negligible. In fact, communities located near natural gas power plants or drilling operations may face elevated risks of health problems due to exposure to these pollutants. Furthermore, the use of natural gas generators for backup power during peak demand times or emergencies can contribute to localized air quality issues, particularly in urban areas with already high levels of pollution.

3. Water Usage and Contamination- Natural gas power plants require substantial amounts of water for cooling processes, often leading to strain on local water resources. In regions already facing water scarcity, this can be a significant issue. The extraction of natural gas through fracking also uses large quantities of water, much of which is mixed with chemicals and injected into the ground to break up rock formations. This practice poses a risk of groundwater contamination, which can negatively affect both human populations and wildlife.

Although natural gas is often promoted as a “water-efficient” energy source compared to coal and nuclear power, it still contributes to the depletion and contamination of valuable water resources, particularly in regions where water is already a limited commodity.

4. Ecosystem Disruption from Extraction Practices- The environmental impact of natural gas extends beyond emissions and pollution. The extraction of natural gas, particularly through hydraulic fracturing, can lead to significant disruptions in local ecosystems. Fracking requires clearing large swaths of land, which can result in habitat destruction, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity.

In addition to land degradation, fracking also carries the risk of inducing seismic activity. There have been growing concerns that the injection of wastewater into deep wells could trigger small earthquakes, a phenomenon known as induced seismicity. These events, while typically minor, can have serious consequences for local infrastructure and the surrounding environment.

5. The Problem of Resource Depletion- Although natural gas is considered a more abundant resource than oil or coal, it is still a finite fossil fuel. As the demand for energy grows, so too does the pressure to extract more natural gas from deeper and harder-to-reach reserves, such as shale gas. This has led to more aggressive extraction methods, including deepwater drilling and fracking in ecologically sensitive areas, further exacerbating environmental harm.

The continued reliance on natural gas also diverts attention and resources away from the development of truly sustainable, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal power. By investing heavily in natural gas infrastructure, we risk prolonging our dependence on fossil fuels, delaying the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

6. A Step Toward a Cleaner Future? While natural gas generators do have a role to play in bridging the gap toward renewable energy, they are far from a long-term solution. Their environmental impact—ranging from greenhouse gas emissions to ecosystem disruption—reminds us that there is no truly “clean” fossil fuel. The solution lies not in shifting from one fossil fuel to another, but in making the bold move toward renewable energy sources that have minimal environmental impact.

Investing in energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, and cleaner power generation methods is the key to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. In the meantime, adopting energy-efficient practices, such as using natural gas generators only when absolutely necessary and maintaining them properly to reduce emissions, can help mitigate some of the environmental consequences.

Conclusion: Moving Beyond Natural Gas Natural gas generators, while cleaner than their coal-fired counterparts, are not a panacea for environmental concerns. Their role in mitigating climate change is limited by their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, water contamination, and ecosystem disruption. As we push forward in the fight against climate change, it’s essential that we invest in renewable energy solutions and energy efficiency measures to reduce our overall environmental footprint.

The future of energy lies in the hands of innovation and sustainability. Transitioning to renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydropower can provide a truly sustainable energy solution for generations to come—without the hidden environmental costs associated with natural gas.

The Mahua Oil Extraction Process and Shea Butter Making Process: A Deep Dive

Natural oils and butter are crucial in multiple industries, from cosmetics and skincare to biodiesel production and pharmaceuticals. Among them, mahua oil and shea butter stand out for their unique properties and applications. Both oils are derived from seeds using traditional and modern extraction methods, ensuring high-quality yield. At Mectech, we understand the importance of efficient extraction methods that optimize yield and maintain the purity of oils.

Mahua Oil and Shea Butter: Sustainable Solutions for Biodiesel Production

Mahua oil and shea butter are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives for biodiesel production due to their high lipid content and renewability. Mahua oil has excellent fuel properties, making it ideal for biofuel blending. Shea butter also contains fatty acids suitable for biodiesel conversion. These oils undergo transesterification, producing clean-burning biodiesel that reduces carbon emissions. Transitioning to these plant-based biofuels can significantly lower dependence on fossil fuels.

As a leading biodiesel plant manufacturer, Mectech specializes in efficient extraction and refining technologies, ensuring maximum yield and sustainability.

Mahua Oil Extraction Process

Mahua oil is widely used in the production of soaps and traditional medicine and is an excellent substitute for cocoa butter. Moreover, due to its high fatty acid content, it has also recently emerged as a popular source of biodiesel. Let us understand the extraction process of mahua oil in brief.

1. Seeds Collection and Drying

First of all, mahua seeds are collected from fallen flowers and then cleaned to remove dirt. The clean seeds are dried to reduce the moisture content as this enhances the efficiency of oil extraction.

2. Seed Preparation

Now the outer shells of the mahua seeds are removed either manually or using a dehulling machine and the seeds are crushed into smaller particles to increase surface area.

3. Oil Extraction Techniques

There are several methods for extracting mahua oil, including:

Cold Pressing Method: in this method, the crushed mahua seeds are placed in a hydraulic machine and pressure is applied to extract the oil. This process is carried out naturally without using heat or chemicals and helps retain the nutritional properties of the oil. Cold pressing is used to produce mahua oil for medicinal and edible uses.

Expeller Pressing Method: The expeller pressing method is used when the oil produced has industrial uses such as biodiesel production. Under this process, a mechanical oil expeller is used to press the oil from seeds under controlled temperature and pressure.

4. Filtration and Refining

The extracted mahua oil contains impurities and must be filtered. Neutralization is carried out to remove free fatty acids, degumming to eliminate phospholipids, and bleaching to improve color and clarity.

Shea Butter Making Process

The transesterification of shea butter results in the production of biodiesel which finds its major application as premix fuel. Check out the process of making shea butter below which can further be used to produce biodiesel. Apart from this, shea butter is also used in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals for its moisturizing properties.

1. Shea Nuts Cleaning

Shea nuts fallen from shea trees are collected and washed thoroughly to remove dirt particles.

2. Boiling and Drying

The cleaned nuts are boiled for a few hours to remove excess moisture and deactivate enzymes and are then sun-dried for several days.

3. Shelling and Grinding

The outer shell of the shea nuts is removed and the nuts are ground into a fine paste using grinders or stone mills.

4. Roasting and Oil Extraction

Different methods carried out for shea oil extraction include:

Traditional Method (Hand Extraction): The shea paste is mixed with warm water and kneaded until the butter fat separates from the mixture. The fat is then skimmed off and boiled to remove any residual water.

Mechanical Pressing Method: Similar to mahua oil extraction, the ground shea nuts are passed through a hydraulic press to extract the butter. This method is more efficient and widely used in commercial production.

5. Filtration and Purification

Shea butter is filtered to remove impurities and may undergo further refining for specific uses.

Conclusion

Both mahua oil extraction process and shea butter making process involve a mix of traditional and modern methods to ensure high-quality production. As a reputed biodiesel plant manufacturer, Mectech is committed to providing top-tier plant solutions to support the growing demand for natural oil extraction and sustainable fuel production.
