yuuta eats you out like he wants to unravel your very being. he’s calculating and methodical in his approach, taking measurements with his unnerving gaze and approximating the level of attention you require. while he always leaves room for excess—

“anything for you,” he breathes, lips smearing against the curve of your hipbone.

—he prefers to work meticulously. he frets; he worries; he strives for perfection, always. there is no margin of error, no room for him to err by a millimeter or two. his goal is absolute: he must unspool you completely so he can wind you back up, again and again and again.

(as good as new—better, even.)

he doesn’t tease you simply for the sake of teasing, though he would be lying if he claimed he didn’t enjoy the quaver of your thighs or the rise and fall of your chest. but it’s necessary to begin gently, his touch gossamer as he plucks at the seams of your sanity, caressing and stroking and licking along each individual stitch.

his controlled movements make it a languorous process to work you up; you only get to orgasm once he has earned it, after all—once he has counted and examined every thread of desire in your body under a microscope, then sated each one. slow licks and featherlight rubs give way to thorough laps and wet sucks.

it’s never a surprise—but always a shock—when his nimble digits enter you. they reach so deep, like he’s hollowing you out before laying you flat. he memorizes the ridges and slopes and edges of your pattern with his fingertips (as though he doesn’t know the exact spot that forces you to come undone).

once he uses both his fingers and his tongue, you’re quick to finish with a silent scream. the intensity of your climax is almost agonizing; it wrings all the energy from your body, leaving you a shivering shell. but yuuta is beside you the whole time. he picks up your pieces with a smile, and sews you back together—again and again and again.

A few people took exception to calling my car's CD player useless.

I actually think it is great there are a few holdouts still using CDs.

CDs are truly one of the most perfect media ever created.

And I can prove that mathematically.

Some will say vinyl is superior. And as much as I love records, the audio quality is preferred, not better. People have a *preference* for how vinyl sounds, but it still leaves out audio information and has noise and artifacts caused by the mechanics of the turntable and an imperfect manufacturing process.

In fact, the lesser audio quality is exactly what people enjoy. It has a warmth and comfortably compressed dynamic range that is not fatiguing over long listening sessions. It's like choosing a nice fire over a 100% efficient space heater.

But if you want perfect audio quality that does not exceed the limits of human hearing, compact discs are where it's at.

It all has to do with Dr. Harry Nyquist and his Nyquist-Shannon Theorem. (Sometimes Shannon gets left out and it is just called the Nyquist Theorem.)

The simple version is he figured out how much something needs to be sampled in order to not lose any information. As long as you sample something at a frequency greater than or equal to twice per cycle, you will have a lossless... whatever.

In this case, a lossless audio recording.

So the range of human hearing is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. That's the lowest and highest frequencies we can perceive. The scientists creating CD audio figured they'd do 22 kHz for some overhead and then you double that to get 44 kHz. (Technically it was 44.1 kHz.)

You can imagine the smooth curvy line as an analog recording. No gaps. No information loss.

The black squares are digital samples recorded over a period of time. You can see there are gaps between those black squares. A tiny bit of time passes between the squares where nothing is sampled. INFORMATION LOSS! NOOOOO!

Clearly the vinyl nerds are correct and digital is inferior, right? You are going to get the dreaded... STAIR STEPS!

Not so fast, bucko!

By getting enough samples over a period of time, you can use math to infer that smooth sloping line connecting those individual samples. So the digital recording also has no information lost once it is converted back to analog and played through your speakers.

This connecting of dots is called "interpolation."

You could take the curvy analog, convert it to digital, get the same black squares, and then interpolate the black squares back into analog and get the same curvy line. It goes back and forth perfectly. And this is all verifiable with an oscilloscope.

NEAT!

Then of course you need a good dynamic range--the spectrum of quiet to loud. Anything above 85 decibels will damage your hearing, so they went with a 16-bit depth which covers roughly 100 dB. Again, giving them a little overhead for death metal and overzealous trumpet players.

And the final component is data bandwidth or "bitrate" usually measured in kilobits per second. This is how much data is read every second. The 1s and 0s of it all. The bitrate of a CD is calculated by multiplying 44,100 samples per second per channel by 16 bits per sample and then multiplying by 2 channels. After all that mathing is math'd, you get a perfectly uncompressed 1,411 kbps.

So you've got all the frequencies you could ever hear combined with as much volume as your ears can stand with a bit rate that will give you no loss of data.

The *perfect* audio quality all encoded into little microscopic pits.

Now you may be asking, "Why do I see "24/96" or "24/192" advertised on fancy audio equipment and high quality streaming platforms like Tidal? Aren't 24 bits better? Isn't 96 kHz MORE than 44.1 kHz?"

Dr. Nyquist might say... this is some bullshit.

This confusion comes from the fact that recording quality and playback quality are two different animals. This misunderstanding happens with video and photo quality as well. Recording in 6K will give you a sharper picture even if your final playback quality is 4K. You can get bad pixels and noise and stray photons that do not contribute to the detail in the video. By giving yourself overhead you can ensure you hit the desired quality target.

And recording at 24 bits and 96 or 192 kHz, you get a higher resolution to edit and master with, but it is only advantageous to the computer software... not the human ear.

From a photographer's perspective, I relate to it like this...

If I have more megapixels and more colors and more dynamic range I have more leeway when editing my photos. If you try to push a low quality photo in the edit, it has this tendency to fall apart. You can get ugly color banding and harsh contrast and sharpening artifacts. By capturing more quality than you need in the finished product, you can process the photo much more dramatically before it deteriorates and loses integrity.

Audio and video are the same way.

So let's say you have a metal singer that screams at the microphone as loud as possible from 2 inches away.

At 16 bits they may surpass that 100 decibel dynamic range and distort the recording. But if you record in 24 bits, you get 144 dB to play with. Or you can even do 32 bits and get 1500 dB--a volume that no human voice could ever surpass. It guarantees a clean, distortion free recording, but 32 bits would be pointless for human listening.

The same is true with the sample rate. Having a higher resolution allows you to zoom into waveforms and adjust things to an extremely granular level. You can do precise timings, tiny pitch adjustments, apply loads of digital effects, and just have more room for audio activities without degrading the sound quality.

But outputting 192,000 of those black squares is going to interpolate the exact same smooth curvy line as 44,100 when it is played through speakers.

The oscilloscope knows what I'm talking about.

Now I am about to reveal a secret that no audiophile who has invested in a $115,000 high resolution 32 bit/3,072 kHz DAC wants to acknowledge...

The master recording is always more important than the playback quality.

If you have a high quality source it will sound great even in a highly compressed MP3. Just like the 6K video is sharper on the 4K TV. And the high megapixel photo looks better in an Instagram post.

If the source is good, the media will be good.

And since high resolution audio services often seek out the best masters available before encoding their playback files, it gives many people the illusion they are getting better sound quality due to the boosted specs.

When in reality, it was just a better copy of the original recording.

According to Nyquist, your human ears are not computers and all you need is double the frequency to hear perfect sound with no loss of information. So anything above 16 bit/44.1 kHz/1411 kbps and you are just wasting bandwidth on a server.

And I don't want to hear anything about "stair stepping."

IT'S MATH.

Your ears aren't better than math, okay?

If you don't believe in math, then you and Jack White can sit in the naughty math corner with his bespoke overpriced vinyl pressings.

I will say, there is a gap between your standard music streaming service like Spotify and your bullshit audiophile service like Tidal.

Free Spotify uses heavily compressed files. Which means the bitrate is quite low and there can be information loss. Or "lossy" compression. Modern compression is actually pretty amazing, but I'm afraid anything below 320 kbps may cause some songs to not sound as intended.

Depending on the content, some songs are more suited to compression than others. And even with premium Spotify, they cap songs at 320 kbps which still may not be enough for busier, harder-to-compress songs.

Also, I don't know if Spotify cares about getting the best quality master for a given song. Which, again, is the most important aspect of sound quality.

But services like Tidal waste bandwidth with their super specs and that isn't great for the environment. What I'd love to see is a company that makes their best effort to seek out high quality masters, and encodes their files at 16 bit/44 kHz with a lossless variable bit rate compression. Variable bit rate or "VBR" will do more compression during simpler parts of the audio and less compression during more complex parts. It's smart compression, basically. And as long as you use a high enough bitrate to achieve lossless compression, the sound quality will be the same as if there is no compression at all. So you still get smaller file sizes that use less bandwidth and have a smaller environmental impact.

That would be a streaming service I would consider paying for. Especially if they put great effort into getting high quality original recordings for their content.

In conclusion... if you are still using CDs you don't need to worry about audio quality. You're all set. There is a sort of beauty in what the audio scientists who created compact discs did. They figured out the limits of human audio perception and created a format that just slightly exceeded that. No "bigger number is better" marketing. No audiophile bullshit.

They said, "Here is what you need and nothing more."

They made a perfect thing and they should be proud of that.

Baldur gate matchups :0000000000

Cool nouns: he/she

Gender pref: no pref :0

Zodiac: Aries sun, Leo moon, libra rising

MBTI: intj-a

How I describe myself: huge nerd, collector of stupid shit, I am both the golden retriever boyfriend and goth girlfriend in one genderless human shaped mass. Girl kisser and dilf enjoyer (deadass men my age freak me out a little but…. dilfs….. explodes)

Hobbies: Digital art, web design, cooking, video games, reading,

How other people describe me (/pos):

- “you feel act like the embodiment of a mango monster”

- “The fact that of all of us (in reference to the polycule) you don’t have an autisim diagnosis is more of a jumpscare than you being ginger”

- “You could tell me the sky is hot pink and if you said it with the same conviction you say most things I’d trust you completely on it.”

Character flaws? Idk how to phrase this without it reading as self deprecating- issues I know I have that would inevitably be relevant to knowing me.

- I lack both empathy and sympathy almost completely, which makes me absolutely horrid at comforting people unless they want practical, logic driven solutions.

- I have a bad habit of seeing my solutions as the only viable solution, even if it’s been proven to be wrong/ineffective

- I can be incredibly arrogant (bordering on elitist) about the topics I am passionate about

- I form strong opinions of people quickly, and they are extremely difficult to shake (a bad first impression with me usually ends in a distain so strong I inconvenience myself to avoid said person, and it’s just as hard to convince me someone I like has done something wrong without extremely concrete proof, and even then I’m inclined to forgive them.)

Love language: gifts!! Usually art, or trinkets and cooking.

Miscellaneous and potentially unnecessary facts about me:

- I really like terraria

- I’m allergic to sunlight (literally)

- My bed is more categorically akin to a nest

- I’m completely nocturnal (re: sunlight)

- I’m also allergic to gluten, milk, eggs, pollen, grass, mold, citrus, red meat, cats, and dogs.

- My cats name is Fortnite Battlepass

- One of the name ideas for him was Dollarama

- I own a student grade microscope

- My favourite passtime is drawing pathetic men happy and in love

- I have Gale’s orb scar as a tattoo

Uhhhhh that’s it :0 if there’s anything specific you wanna know (or if you want pictures of my cat and/or tattoo) you’re more than welcome to ask!!

Match up time! Gotta say Fortnite Battlepass is adorable and only cemented who I decided to go with in the end! Which is,,,

So get this, two nerdy golden retriever partners walk into a tavern-

Okay but seriously, is it any wonder that Gale ends up so absolutely taken with you? 

The moment he sees your collection Gale wants to hear about it. There’s nothing quite like amassing a collection of things that bring you joy and make you happy, and he’ll gladly listen to you ramble about it if you’re comfortable to - where you got them, how long you’ve been collecting, what’s the most treasured part of your collection. These are just some of the things he’d query you on, all the while taking the time to admire your collection if you have it on display or bring it out to show him. 

He's actually got a fair collection himself, though his penchant for magical item consumption may have dwindled his display far more than he would have liked - alas desperate times had called for desperate measures back then. It’s honestly very validating to have someone show that kind of interest; though thanks to his curious nature you two may be stuck in this discussion for a couple of hours. It’s fascinating though! So who can really blame the guy? 

Will actively add to the stuff you collect so get ready to expand the space for them; one of his love languages is gift giving - so if that means getting you some of the weirdest stuff you’ve ever seen for your collection just to make you smile? By the gods he’d gift you something every other day if he could - thankfully Tara’s quick to curb that before he gets over excited and offers to refurbish an entire room in his tower back home for your stuff.

I don’t know if Gale would technically count as a dilf, being on the middle/younger side of the dilf scale (I hc like mid 30’s.) BUT he’s got the soft dad bod, bad puns, a couple grey streaks AND Tara so in my heart I would say this man is on the road to qualify.

Gale would be fascinated to see you at your computer, be it creating art or working on the code for your web pages. You’re practically working a magic of your own on your computer screen, confident in your ability to create and finishing off every piece you create with a level of detail and care that he’s sure very few people can even begin to replicate. And gods if there isn’t anything more attractive to him than someone who knows their craft and is passionate about it.

I hope you’re prepared for an audience because Gale will watch you work, leaning against the back of your chair with his head upon yours or your shoulder the whole time. You’ll have to warn him a couple times not to get too close to the screen because if he gets any closer you’re gonna struggle to see what you’re doing. When it comes to your web page designing, he would try and take up learning from you if you ever offer to teach him some basics - Gale would jump at the chance, actually. The guy’s a dream to teach, but also has a tendency to ramble as he tries to figure out whatever you’re trying to teach him. He also has a bad habit of getting overconfident, which when it comes to coding with him is a surefire way for the thing to blow up in his face (thankfully not literally.)

He absolutely LOVES cooking together. This man spent months being one of the only relatively decent cooks in the tadpole party so he’s got a decent list of recipes under his belt for each of their dietary requirements. Give him a couple times, let him learn what you can and can’t have and what foods you prefer, and he’ll make something pleasantly edible - not always perfect, but damn if it isn’t tasty. May or may not have a mental list of your favourite meals that he’d remembered from passing conversations. He certainly doesn’t use this as a means to surprise you or impress you whenever he invites you over (of course he does). The pair of you might occasionally butt heads over who cooks since he has a tendency to hover around in the kitchen trying to do stuff even if he’s not the one cooking that time.

It’s no secret that Gale’s bread and butter is books and tomes of all design and creed - hells he has an entire section of his home dedicated to his collection. He’ll happily give you recommendations and gift you books that you’ve expressed interest in without a second thought; he’s just chuffed to have someone who shares in this kind of pastime! If you guys are together around the time he does return home, he’ll ask for your company to sort through all of his books together. Sure it may not be the most riveting activity unless you’re really interested in what secret books he’s had stashed in his shelves all of these years; but it means a lot to him to have you there with him the whole time as he (quite literally) rearranges his life now that he’s home. There are some books that while he’ll still keep, they’re better off somewhere else than the main room - like the tomes and scrolls and forgotten texts once dredged up in desperate pursuits better left in the past. He’ll gladly let you fill in those gaps with books of your own, to create a space in his home that’s full of you - he can think of nothing better that would occupy that space than you.

Okay, so that one comment about the sky? Yeah, that’s Gale. While Gale’s not the kind of person to go blindly trusting everything someone says, there’s that conviction in the way that you say things that somehow makes him fall for it every time. If you ever did turn around and tell him that the sky was hot pink it’d earn you an amused snort and a sarcastic ‘haha very funny’ as he looks up from whatever he’s doing. But you’re the one who gets the last laugh because he’s the one casting a ‘subtle’ glance towards the window not even a minute later, only to be met with your knowing grin the moment he turns back. Just don’t let the others know that you’ve got that kinda one up on him, because I’m telling you now - Astarion and Shadowheart? Yeah they’ll be insisting to know how you get that kinda conviction to use on the poor man later.

While I can see Gale as the comforting type when the circumstances require, I also believe that having a partner like you who can ground him back to reality with logical solutions and practical reasoning is exactly what he needs. It’s so easy for him to get lost within the confines of his own thoughts, to allow things to become too much of a mess for him to pick apart and deal with on his own. But you’re a welcome hand, there to unravel the threads pulling taught on his mind with discussions of solutions and things that he can put into action in the here and now. That is comfort in its own way, even if you may not realise it.

As previously stated gift giving is one of Gale’s love languages, so given that you’re very much the same, that idea of making a room in his house just for you may not be such a far fetched idea anymore. His gifts centre around your current interests and fixations - he’s got a good ear for listening out to find what you need and get what makes you happiest. Expect more than a few magical items though - protective accessories for when he’s not at your side, or even items with silly magical effects that he knows will get a chuckle out of you once you realise what they do. Gets flustered under the same treatment however - your gifts are precious, and he feels like no matter where he puts them there’s not a good enough place to show them off and admire them. Always gets this lovestruck little look on his face each time he passes by one of your gifts in the day to day, running his hands along them like the mere touch of them is enough to brighten his very soul.

Hope there’s room enough in that nest for two because Gale doesn’t mind in the slightest. But he will help you to make it more comfortable - comfier blankets, softer pillows for extra cushion; this man spent at least a couple years falling asleep in places around his home that weren’t his bed so he knows the importance of making it as comfortable a place as possible for you (and his joints).

Comes as no surprise that he LOVES your cat, and it’s also no surprise that he’ll spoil the guy as much as humanly possible. Fortnite Battlepass quickly becomes one of the most pampered cats this side of Faerun, not just because of all the treats Gale likes to think he’s being sneaky about giving him, but because of the fact his tower is a cat paradise. Not to mention that cats usually warm up to Gale very quickly - guy’s a magnet because more often than not you’ll find Gale in the middle of work with Fortnite Battlepass flopped across his lap or desk, or lounging over his shoulder like a purring slinky.

The first time he sees your tattoo you can see several stages of panic go through his face in an attempt to remain calm about the situation. He visibly relaxes when you explain, no, it’s not actually an orb scar but a tattoo. Very much a ‘same hat’ moment for your tattoo and his own scar. Depending on where the tattoo is and if you’re comfortable with it, you may find him occasionally brushing his fingers over your tattoo, calloused fingertips following the inky tendrils that curl away from the main circle in the centre. Please do the same with his scar, you’ll basically turn the man to mush in your hands seeing you pay any kind of love and attention to a mark which once caused him such pain.

Stacking LEDs instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays

Take apart your laptop screen, and at its heart you'll find a plate patterned with pixels of red, green, and blue LEDs, arranged end to end like a meticulous Lite Brite display. When electrically powered, the LEDs together can produce every shade in the rainbow to generate full-color displays. Over the years, the size of individual pixels has shrunk, enabling many more of them to be packed into devices to produce sharper, higher-resolution digital displays.

But much like computer transistors, LEDs are reaching a limit to how small they can be while also performing effectively. This limit is especially noticeable in close-range displays such as augmented and virtual reality devices, where limited pixel density results in a "screen door effect" such that users perceive stripes in the space between pixels.

Now, MIT engineers have developed a new way to make sharper, defect-free displays. Instead of replacing red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes side by side in a horizontal patchwork, the team has invented a way to stack the diodes to create vertical, multicolored pixels.

Each stacked pixel can generate the full commercial range of colors and measures about 4 microns wide. The microscopic pixels, or "micro-LEDs," can be packed to a density of 5,000 pixels per inch.

Handsy (A guilty pleasure MercyRat short)

                Angela sighed mentally for what felt like the hundredth time since this meeting had commenced well over two hours ago. Policy and agent safety updates were paramount in running a tight organization, but certainly the higher ups could have split this update into two separate timeframes? A quick glance around the large table at the surrounding agents made Angela laugh internally as the expressions they wore were an almost direct mirror to what she herself was feeling at the moment.

                Abject boredom. Maybe even a little hunger, and a whole lot of tired.

                Her eyes drifted down beside her to observe what new doodles had been added to the rather obscenely thick packet of meeting notes her neighbor had scribbled since the last time she had peeked, but Angela was acutely disappointed to see that the scene of bombs, explosions, and crudely maimed stick figures hadn’t changed in the fifteen or so minutes since the last time she had looked.

                Angela had been secretly pleased beyond measure that Jamison “Junkrat” Fawkes had taken up the seat beside her at the table. Aside from assuaging the concealed crush she had on the quirky ex-Junker; Angela had discovered on previous meetings that being privy to his murderous masterpieces proved to be an endless supply of much needed entertainment to get her through drole congregations.

                It was certainly peculiar that the scene hadn’t expanded because in the past, on average by this time in the meeting, Jamison had nearly filled every free bit of real estate on the cover page with his scribbles. Curious, Angela focused on his form in her periphery and noted that his figure had slumped over to the side at an angle that left no room for her imagination to contemplate why he’d stopped drawing.

                The man had dozed off.

                Not that she could blame him in the least. The thought had certainly crossed her mind a time or two. But the higher ups were notorious for honing in on those they suspected weren’t up to par with expectations and Jamison certainly didn’t need to be placed under an even higher power microscopic lens that Angela felt he was already scrutinized beneath, given his criminal history.

                Surreptitiously, Angela tilted her head so that she could observe Jamison more clearly in order to confirm her suspicions and nearly choked on a laugh at the column of drool that was currently streaming from the corner of his lips to pool against the collar of his shirt. He was no doubt fast asleep and a part of her was surprised he hadn’t thought to paint false eyeballs on the back of his lids to give the illusion that he was awake and attentive. The mental image of that nearly pushed Angela over the edge of holding in her amusement and she bit her bottom lip to quell the giggle that threatened to bubble up her throat.

                Sucking in a fortifying breath through her nose to calm herself, Angela became determined in that moment to save Jamison from any unnecessary scrutiny and tentatively reached out beneath the cover of the table to poke her fingers against his person. Her digits found themselves brushing against his own where he had placed his hand to rest against his knee. With a gentle firmness, Angela nudged the side of Jamison’s palm and felt his leg swing away from the pressure of her touch, but he didn’t wake. Undeterred, Angela poked at him again with increased urgency and to her utter shock, suddenly felt his hand move as his fingers captured hers within his own; lacing them together before returning his palm where it had been resting before, but now with her hand held captive beneath his.

                Angela froze and she quickly turned her head to the side to fully observe the mercenary now. He was still asleep, but at least he’d righted his head from its lull to the side and he was no longer watering himself with his drool.

                Thank goodness for small miracles, Angela mused, but then riveted her attention back to where their bodies were currently joined. She fought against the reflex to jerk her hand back out from beneath his grip, not wanting to startle him awake and draw unwanted attention, and after a moment, as the heat of his skin seeped into her own, Angela sheepishly, and selfishly, found herself enjoying the contact.

                It would make for an incredibly awkward moment if he were to wake right then with her hand twisted so intimately with his own and Angela felt a blush creep up her neck to heat the tips of her ears at the thought. She imagined it would take a second for it to register in his mind before he’d start sputtering and flailing in true over-the-top dramatic Junkrat fashion, no doubt causing a scene she had been trying to avoid in the first place.

                Cautiously, Angela tugged her hand ever so slightly in an attempted to dislodge it from his grasp, but his fingers flinched and tightened over hers, unwilling to relinquish hold of their stolen prize. Beside her, the ex-Junker inhaled a long breath and shifted, but still the man remained completely oblivious to the world around him, and as he exhaled, his lips whispered with a hint of lazy amusement, “It’s mine now.”

                Angela froze once more, torn between wondering if he were awake and messing with her, or asleep and dreaming about holding someone’s hand for ransom. Surely, he couldn’t be awake. In no uncertain terms had the man ever did anything to make Angela think that her silly crush would ever be reciprocated. Sure, he was goofy and friendly towards her, which one may interpret as flirting, but he was that way with everyone. Only, everyone else treated Jamison with a benign neglect that was reminiscent of how people back home would treat a mangy stray dog that just wanted to be loved. She certainly appreciated his antics and couldn’t remember a time when she had brushed him off as an annoyance like she’d seen so many others do.

                So, perhaps he was awake and was taking immense pleasure in messing with her. Such a ploy certainly would align with his mischievous side, especially knowing, at least Angela hoped, that it would be positively received by her, out of everyone else he could have done it to.

                Slowly, so as to not draw attention to herself, Angela leaned in closer to Jamison’s side and squeezed her fingers around the top of his knee where he had placed her palm to rest beneath his own. At the same time she whispered, “careful Jamison, it might bite you.”

                It took a second, but the man suddenly snorted a laugh that made Angela jump upright in her seat. This time, several pairs of eyes turned their way, casting a collection of questioning, withering, annoyed, and humorous glares in equal turns. Angela felt as if she could melt away with the heat of her embarrassment until they all finally lost interest and looked away from her and Jamison.

Angela relaxed and turned to cast a suspicious leer towards the ex-Junker. His face was serene. Features that were usually pinched into a smirk or scowl were placid and calm. Even the dimple Angela had noted in the past that appeared over his left brow during a moment of laughter or amusement was absent. Cautiously, she leaned in towards him once more.

                “Jamison?”

                This time his brows flinched and a moment later he cleared his throat softly and actually answered. “Mmm?”

                “Are you awake?”

                “Jus’ barely, luv.” His voice rumbled, deep with sleep, before he moved to sit up straighter in his chair. His fingers flexed against her own and yet he still hadn’t let her go.

                Angela swallowed thickly, helplessly wailing in her head. He had to have noticed by now!? It was in that moment that his fingers squeezed against hers once more and a thoughtful hum exhaled from his throat as he leaned forward to plant his right elbow against the table, rested his chin in his prosthetic palm, and canted his head to the side to pin her with an intensely curious stare. Those darkened whiskey hues caused her stomach to flip flop as soon as they made contact with hers as did the lop-sided grin that tugged on one side of his lips. His fingers gently flexed against hers now with purpose as he stared into her eyes and Angela wasn’t sure whether it was embarrassment or attraction that caused her insides to suddenly combust.

                Perhaps a little of both.

                “I was trying to wake you.” She murmured quietly, immediately on the defensive. “Then you just took hold of me.”

                “Oh, suuuure,” Jamison whispered. “Put the blame on a defenseless bloke while he’s sleepin’”

                Angela opened her mouth to retort, but nothing came out. Instead, she sat there gaping like a fish and watched that aforementioned dimple appear above Jamison’s left brow as he watched her struggle.

                “’Sides, I told ya it’s mine now.” He harrumphed as if that was the end-all-be-all and abruptly returned his attention to the speaker who had amazingly kept droning on about the topic at hand despite their obvious whisperings.

So, he had been asleep, though Angela had been incorrect in assuming he’d be dramatic in his reaction in waking to her hand in his. Curiously, he seemed rather fine with it, which was either because he was fine with it (which opened the flood gates to a whole slew of new questions), or was playing it off to save her the embarrassment. He certainly wouldn’t care on his part. Jamison never seemed embarrassed about anything and that was one of the qualities she adored about the man.

He was always unapologetically himself.

                Surely though, if it was to save her from embarrassment, he would have released her hand by now, right? Oh God, Angela squealed mentally and though her eyes had shifted once more to fix on the presenter, all of her focus was currently channeled to the sensation of Jamison’s fingers pressed between the valleys of her own; his palm pressed flush against the top of her hand, and how the rough and calloused pad of his thumb traced a slow, gentle circle against the base of her pinky where it met the side of her hand. Every full pass caused a jolt of heat to spear straight through her belly, which just kept growing in its intensity. His hand was so much larger than her own, Angela mused, it nearly swallowed hers against his knee, and it was a peculiar thought, to think that a hand that was capable of wreaking such havoc, pain, and destruction was currently holding her with an almost tender reverence.

                Did the man even realize what he was doing to her? He seemed completely oblivious to her increasing intoxication to his touch.

                Now perversely, Angela had gone from hoping the meeting would end to wishing it would continue on. It had been a pathetically long time since any man had made her feel the sensations that were currently twisting her insides the way Jamison was, and all he was doing was holding her hand captive.

                Imagine what other feelings he could elicit from her?

                Then, as if midnight had finally tolled on her Cinderella moment, the presenter called an end to the meeting and everyone around them began to stand with a collective sigh, effectively bursting the bubble that had surrounded herself and Jamison ever since he’d taken hold of her.

                Angela mentally cried in dismay when Jamison gave her hand one final squeeze before he lifted his palm off of hers, leaving a chilled void from the loss of his touch. Angela finally reeled her hand back and began to numbly gather her note pages when she felt Jamison stand and hover over her at her side. Belatedly, she finally stood and turned to face him and was relieved to see the easy smile on his lips and a mischievous glint reflected in the honeyed gaze of his eyes as they drifted over her features.

                “Y'know, Doc…” He started then leaned in closer to lower his voice in a hushed tone close to her ear. “If ya wanted me to hold your hand, all ya had to do was ask.”

                Angela smiled despite herself and felt her face heat all over again from his teasing. “Thanks, Fawkes. I’ll remember that for next time.” Angela retorted cheekily and watched his lips twist into a conspiring smirk.

                “Anytime, babe.”

Star Wars: The Old Republic Commander!Varrich AU Characters: Varrich Tophrik (Meteor - Mirialan), Synnda V'ehsz (Barsen'thor - Zabrak) Warnings: Violence, Blood, Murder

---------------

He never liked going back to Zakuul.

It made his blood boil, seeing the beautiful structures, hearing the chattering and laughing civilians, with no signs that their world was at war.

So, maybe he relished the appearance of the building he’d all but crashed into, in ruin. Shards of glass, threatening to fall hundreds of meters to the ground below. Civilians whimpering, screaming, hunkering down to dodge blaster bolts and flying debris from explosions.

It was the least the damned Spire deserved.

A whisper in his ear—Valkorian? or the Force itself? he couldn’t be sure, not with how unfamiliar he was with the accursed thing having been Force-blind all his life up until he found an ex-Emperor taking up residence in his mind—made him whip around with his rifle poised.

His first shot was deflected by the Knight’s pike, as was the second.

But once he was in range, Varrich reached out.

His prosthetic still felt odd. Clunky. Three fingers instead of five strange to get used to. But the experimental metal held true: When the blade of the pike hit his palm, he was able to shove it away with naught but singed paint.

The Knight’s shocked pause was all he needed. With that same limb, he lashed out—aiming for his neck, to tear at the fabric between his helmet and chest. The claws that made up the ends of the digits did just that, and blood spilled onto the metal as the Knight gasped and grasped for his own neck.

He drew his hand back as the Knight collapsed at his feet, flexed the fingers testily even as blood pooled by one boot. Perhaps he could show Arcann just how nasty his new prosthetic could be… he thought bitterly. Oggurobb had eagerly suggested a poison implant for the clawtips to dispense. It would be a perfect way to return the favor.

Sneering as the Knight choked on his own blood, Varrich used a heavy boot to shove him out of the way before continuing on through the building. He was after…a schematic. He found he didn’t really care what it was for, not when his head scientist had started rambling about it. It was something to make his job easier, and it gave the Commander an excuse to test the upgrades on his new arm on…volunteers, the doctor had cheerfully called them.

Theron had already split off to search out the schematic through the building’s files, which had left the Barsen’thor hovering close at the Commander’s side. Varrich couldn’t particularly say he was fond of having the Jedi somewhere nearby, shrouded by the Force somewhere in the shadows.

Once, he’d respected the man. Called him an ally, trusted him.

Now when they locked eyes, there was distrust and they studied each other like specimens under a microscope.

V’ehsz had noticed long ago, long before nearly anyone else, that Varrich’s time in carbonite had changed him “for the worst,” according to the Jedi. He’d been the first to murmur uncertainties about naming him Commander, would be the first to speak out against his plans and not back down when a heated glare landed on him.

And now he was here.

The Jedi was only there to keep an eye on him.

Varrich’s skin crawled with growing anger.

Each Knight and Skytrooper to cross his path made it spark hotter. Each civilian to scramble away begging, brought his irritation higher.

And then it happened.

V’ehsz had stepped out of his shroud of shadows and Force energy to open a door with his weapon. Inside, were two civilians.

The Jedi’s words were soothing as he assured no harm to them, even as Varrich shoved past to start tearing through drawers and datapads. Though both were quiet, Varrich could feel the other watching him—yet, every time he glanced up to silently challenge the other’s stare, V’ehsz was reading over files or pocketing the occasional drive.

The civilians murmured to each other (their Emperor wouldn’t stand for this, Arcann would have their heads, they were dead men). V’ehsz didn’t pay their words any mind. Varrich felt his lip curling into a snarl the longer the pair whispered to each other. The longer they threatened Arcann’s wrath, the longer they pointed out Varrich’s hand and promised their Emperor would do the same to the other.

“We’ve got everything,” Varrich said instead.

The Jedi only nodded as he dragged his eyes over the room one more time. “Then we should go. Theron has the schematic.”

Varrich tipped his head toward the door. “I’ll be right behind you. This file needs to finish uploading to my drive.” He kept his voice carefully even. As he expected, V’ehsz locked eyes with the visor of his helmet. He was hesitating.

“That’s an order. Get the shuttle ready; I’ll be there shortly.”

And he was gone.

The Commander locked his jaw and waited many long moments, until Valkorian himself spoke up that the pest was gone.

And he drew his weapon.

For the first time in a long time, his hands shook. His remaining one, he felt sweat slick the inside of his glove; the prosthetic, clicked against the stock of his rifle. He took a breath to calm his own nerves and steady his hands as the two civilians cowered back into a corner as the barrel of a rifle stared them down.

One shot.

One body went still.

The second missed as the other scrambled away.

The third and fourth met their marks, and he fell as still as his comrade.

Varrich felt himself locked in place. His prosthetic was creaking from how tightly his hands gripped at his weapon. Maybe his eyes would have even been wide could he see them, or face pallid.

He’d never fired upon unarmed civilians before.

And yet… He couldn’t bring himself to feel guilt for it.

They’d deserved it.

They’d serve as examples to Zakuul what he was willing to do.

He was in the right.

He was.

Really.

File: The Ruins

SCP#: AAE

Code Name: Creeping Predator

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-AAE are contained in separate vials making a total of twelve vials. All vials are contained within a biohazard capsule, the capsule being contained within a sample freezer. The freezer in question is locked by a 6-digit pass code, set at -100 degrees Fahrenheit, and contained at site-AC. The containment cell of SCP-AAE also acts as a testing room, measuring 8x8 meters. The room is equipped with Foundation standard biohazard lab testing equipment and resources for studying SCP-AAE. The temperature of the room is set at 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Setting the room at this temperature allows SCP-AAE to grow in a slow and easy to control pace. Should the temperature raise any higher SCP-AAE will grow without restriction.

Any personnel who enter the containment room is to wear an Anti-Bacterial Hazmat suit with up-to-date self-ventilation gear and mask. Testing with SCP-AAE is to only be done within the containment room. Any testing outside of SCP-AAE’s containment must be approved by at least one Level 5 Clearance Foundation staff member. After testing is concluded all excess SCP-AAE samples are to be completely destroyed.

Before entering SCP-AAE's containment room one must enter the decontamination room. The decontamination room is an 4x6 meter room with two doors one leading in and out while the other leads to a SCP-AAE's containment room. Once entering the room, a sterilizing chemical will be released that is powerful enough to kill off SCP-AAE. It is advised for any personnel to keep wearing their protective gear within this room as exposure to this chemical leads to severe damage to the skin and even cancer development.

Any new or additional resources and tools that are brought into SCP-AAE's containment room must be completely sealed and sterilized as well. However, anything that is brought into SCP-AAE’s containment cell must never be taken out. Anyone who breaks this rule will be terminated and their body incinerated. There are no exceptions.

If SCP-AAE somehow breaks containment, both the containment room and decontamination room have the liquid nitrogen explosives in the walls. These explosives will detonate immediately upon this happening. Should SCP-AAE somehow get past this, Foundation security is to be armed with flame throwers and destroy all escaped SCP-AAE instances. Foundation staff that come into contact with SCP-AAE by a 10-meter radius must be quarantined. Quarantine lasts for 48 hours and after they pass a blood test, psychology test, and physical test they are released. If they fail, even at the slightest hint of infection they are to be incinerated on the spot. 

Description: SCP-AAE is a resilient, carnivorous, and extremely hostile form of plant life. SCP-AAE seems to greatly resemble Parthenocissus quinquefolia in appearance. However, DNA testing has shown that SCP-AAE's isn't related to any form of flora on earth. SCP-AAE is able to grow at an alarming rate, can move like a sentient organism capable of though, and has the unique ability to grow microscopic seeds on any part of its being. SCP-AAE instances are constantly covered in these seeds allowing them to spread to any object or entity that comes into physical contact.

Once SCP-AAE seeds make contact with an organism, they will start growing and enter the body by any available method; preferably, open wounds and body orifices. Though they tend to do this while not in sight or when the organism is asleep. Once the sprout does get into the body it will procced to drink the victim’s blood and grow rapidly. When multiple seeds enter the body, they will grow and spread through the bloodstream to every part of the body, making removal nearly impossible. Should SCP-AAE seeds land on inorganic objects instead, they will remain dormant until contact with organic life is made. 

While SCP-AAE instances drink the blood and nutrients, the host will begin to suffer symptoms such as dehydration, paranoia, low blood sugar, auditory hallucinations and odor hallucinations. Due to SCP-AAE’s spontaneous growth, these symptoms will get progressively worse in a short span of time. Estimated death by dehydration or suicide is normally 24 to 48 hours. After death SCP-AAE with burst out and latch to any other SCP-AAE instances. If no other instances are present SCP-AAE will simply continue growing and spreading with the human remains as an origin point.

SCP-AAE instances that have no access to more organic prey will simply grow and overtake as much area as possible. With a single human corpse, SCP-AAE will overtake an area of 150 to 300 meters within 5 minutes to 1 hour. It should be noted that parasitic infection is not SCP-AAE’s preferred method of feeding and spreading. It is however, the most effective.

SCP-AAE is able to quickly detect the blood of potential victims, though how this is possible is unknown. Once in range, it will grab the prey with its living tendril like vines. SCP-AAE is not very strong and is aware of this fact, so it prefers to only strike when capturing prey is a guarantee. When no organic material is present to feed, SCP-AAE will start to sprout flowers. SCP-AAE flowers have the anomalous ability to mimic any noises it “hears” within 10 feet. It often mimics noises to trick potential prey into making physical contact with SCP-AAE so that it can trap and feed on them. The flowers don't just produce noise but also smells that are familiar to prey such as cleaning chemicals, foods, lavender, and other pleasing smells. Testing has shown the DNA of SCP-AAE flowers like the rest of the anomaly is nothing like any flora on earth. Yet in appearance as well as physical texture they are no different to red instance of Hippeastrum genus. Furthermore, how the flowers are capable of producing sound and smell is unknown.

SCP-AAE is not only intelligent but has a hive mind where all connected instances, hold the same memories. From the testimony of the only surviving member of the [data expunged] incident, we learned SCP-AAE prefers human meat and blood, is able to differentiate between dead and live meat and prefers to keep its prey form knowing its alive. On first contact with human life, SCP-AAE will hunt and spread with stealth. However, once its prey is aware of its existence it will start mocking them by emitting auditory and odor-based hallucinations to create new opportunities to hunt. This will continue until the prey die of starvation, murderous insanity, or suicide. As stated before, SCP-AAE is carnivorous but not strong, so it relies on psychological warfare. Its frighteningly resilient but even more patient, almost making it an apex predator.

SCP-AAE was discovered in 2008 on an ancient pyramid just outside of the [data expunged] village located in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. SCP-AAE was brought to the Foundations attention when Foundation agents within the area spotted a lost bloody girl begging for help in a local village. The agents quickly obtain the girl for evacuation as she was a possible survivor of an anomalous attack. However, the agents were met with resistance by several civilians of the area. The agents managed to protect the girl and get her into Foundation custody. However, upon returning to Foundation Site-[data expunged] the girl and the four agents were confirmed to be hosts of SCP-AAE with symptoms being extremely visible.

[data expunged] was interviewed for information while Foundation medical staff tried to get rid of the SCP-AAE infection. Once it was confirmed [data expunged] and the agents could not be saved the surgeries stop but the interviews continued. Only after all available data was obtained, [data expunged] and the four agents were incinerated. Later, interview staff, security units, and medical staff were forced to go through quarantine which ended with all of them being cleared. Furthermore, the extracted SCP-AAE instances were collected and placed into containment.

Because of the nature of SCP-AAE Mobile Task Force Theta-4 “Gardeners” was deployed to the location where [data expunged] was rescued. With samples of SCP-AAE already collected, the mission was to cull the entirety of the wild instances rather than contain. Four Theta-4 units were armed with flame throwers while the other four were armed with Chemical Spray guns loaded with experimental weed killer created specifically to kill SCP-AAE. Upon arrival, MTF Theta-4 units were authorized to eliminate any civilians who interfered. However, once entering the village, SCP-AAE had already started spreading and killing everyone. The working theory is that [data expunged] and the agents who retrieved her accidently spread SCP-AAE while doing so, making this one of the Foundation’s greatest failures. 

Command quickly gave the order to eliminate all civilians, after approximately three hours the village was destroyed along with the SCP-AAE infection. The operation ended when all units moved to the pyramid where SCP-AAE originated. Theta-4 units sprayed and burned all visible instances as well as the surrounding forest to prevent spread. A cover story was later created stating the village accidently set an uncontrollable fire that burned most of the forest and killed all the villagers. Upon return, all units were placed under quarantine as per protocol. Three Theta-4 units were unfortunately incinerated due to heavy internal infection form SCP-AAE.

Understanding pH Sensors: Types, Mechanisms, and Factors Affecting Accuracy

Types of probe or electrode

There are two main types of probe or electrode - glass electrode sensors and ion-selective field effect transistor (ISFET) sensors. Glass electrode sensors are more commonly used and contain a standardized pH-sensitive glass bulb at the tip attached to a reference electrode within an internal electrolyte solution. The voltage difference between the glass and reference electrodes corresponds to sample pH. ISFET sensors are made with an ion-selective membrane deposited on a gate of a field-effect transistor. They do not require internal electrolyte solution but are more prone to drift over time.

In the scientific field, it is important to understand acidity levels of liquids and solutions. Traditionally, acidic levels were measured using litmus paper or pH indicators which provided only a general qualitative reading. However, with advancements in technology, digital probe or electrode now allow for precise quantitative measurement of hydrogen ion concentration or pH values. A probe or electrode is an analytical device that uses a sensitive electrode to measure the concentration or activity of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. It provides direct correlation between the measured voltage and pH value. Mechanism of Glass Electrode Sensors Glass electrode Ph Sensors work on the principal of electrochemical difference between the pH-sensitive glass membrane and internal reference electrode. The glass membrane is designed with a very thin layer that allows only H+ ions to pass through. When placed in a test solution, H+ ions from the solution exchange with H+ ions in the glass, establishing an electrochemical equilibrium. This generates a potential difference relative to the internal reference electrode that is proportional to sample pH. Digital meters convert this voltage reading into corresponding pH value. Factors Affecting Accuracy For reliable pH measurement, factors like temperature, solution composition and membrane integrity need to be controlled. Glass sensors require periodic calibration using buffer solutions of known pH (e.g. pH 4.01, 7.00, 10.01) to remain accurate. Drift over time occurs due to leaching or hydration of glass membrane. Regular cleaning, storage in pH buffer and timely membrane replacement enhances sensor lifetime. Industrial samples containing proteins, oils or suspended solids can coat or foul the sensitive glass surface affecting readings until cleaned. Applications in Industry and Research Digital pH sensors have widespread applications due to their precision, small size and affordability. They are commonly used for quality control testing in water treatment plants, food & beverage production, agriculture, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and biomedical research. Water samples are routinely checked at various treatment stages to ensure optimal pH levels for coagulation, corrosion control or disinfection. In aquaculture, pH monitoring prevents stress to aquatic species from fluctuations. Other common uses include soil analysis in hydroponics, microbial fermentation monitoring, antacid drug formulation and environment/pollution studies. Industrial probe or electrode have durable bodies to withstand harsh conditions while research grade sensors provide high accuracy at microscopic scale. Wireless and Portable pH Meters Advancements continue with the introduction of battery-powered portable units equipped with Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity. These wireless pH meters allow for remote monitoring of multiple sensors simultaneously over long distances via tablet/phone apps. Data can be logged, graphed and alarms set for abnormal pH levels. Portable models are compact and equipped with internal or external probes suitable for field or on-site testing without requiring external meters. They are suitable for quick spot checks during facility rounds, water sampling from remote locations and field research applications like agriculture, forestry or environmental surveys where transportation of bulky equipment is difficult.

Such AI tools do not aim to replace pathologists but serve as a “second opinion” to enhance diagnostic consistency and speed. They can also prioritize areas for manual review, reducing diagnosis time. As AI gains more exposure to rare disease patterns, it promises more accurate histopathological assessment.

Automating Tedious Tasks Using Computer Vision

Beyond diagnosis, AI is being applied to automate other routine tasks involved in pathology workflow. Digital image analysis tools use computer vision for functions like automated scanning of whole slides, section detection, cellular segmentation, mitosis counting in breast cancer, etc. This allows pathologists to spend more time on complex diagnostic decisions instead of time-consuming manual counting and measurements. AI systems can also standardize quantitative features extraction from digital slides for prognostic and predictive analytics. Such automated quantification holds potential to drive more consistent and data-driven clinical decision making.

Prognostic And Predictive Analytics Using Large Image Databases

With huge image repositories now available due to digital pathology adoption, AI shows promise in predictive analytics. Deep learning models can extract quantitative image features correlated to cancer prognosis when trained on large annotated datasets. For example, AI may help predict survival rates or likelihood of metastasis based on cell morphology, lesion characteristics in whole slide images. Furthermore, integration of omics data with pathology images opens up possibilities of precision oncology using multimodal AI approaches. This could support treatment stratification and facilitate clinical trials in future. However, more validation research is still needed before such AI applications enter clinical settings.

Addressing Challenges Like Data Annotations And Model Interpretability

While digital pathology and AI present immense opportunities, some challenges currently limit their widespread adoption. One key issue is the extensive effort and expertise required to annotate high-resolution whole slide images - a crucial process for training deep learning algorithms. Strategies to efficiently collect large labeled datasets continue to be explored. Interpretability of complex AI decision making is another area needing attention to gain pathologist acceptance. Development of interpretable models that can provide visualize reasoning is important. Additionally, standardization of digital pathology image formats and development of annotation/AI application platforms remain ongoing processes. With concerted research efforts, these hurdles can be overcome to make AI a integral part of pathology workflow in the near future.

There is enormous potential for artificial intelligence in digital pathology to enhance workflow efficiency, diagnostic performance as well as enable predictive and prognostic analytics. Integration of AI-based decision support tools promises to aid pathology practices facing increasing workload pressures and workforce shortages. While technical and data challenges persist, ongoing research and innovation are delivering new AI applications that align well with pathology's goal of improved healthcare. Widespread adoption of digital pathology imaging is also facilitating data-driven AI progress in this area. Continued validation studies will be important to establish generalizability before full clinical integration of AI-powered digital pathology solutions.
