CDK: Nepo Suite

Published: 9-30-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Cubic Dynamics by John B. Cube and Marcel Dusims forged the future with furnishings that were minimalist in design and maximalist in erudite pretension. Generations later, the company continues to produce edge-of-cutting-edge designs. Use the Cubic Dynamics Kitbash (Simmons, 2023-2024) collection to set up corporate, exposition, and office environments. Envisioned as an add-on to the Cubic Dynamics set (EA/Maxis, archived at GOS), it features minimalist and retro-futuristic objects. Find more CC on this site under the #co2cdkseries tag. Read the Backstory and ‘Dev Notes’ HERE. The NEPO SUITE is that corner office on the top floor, with a perfect view of the coast and skyline…..which your sim totally earned via “hard work” and dedication to the company’s vision…and their marriage to the majority shareholder’s kid.

DETAILS All EPs/SPs. §See Catalog for Pricing | See Buy/Build Mode You need the Company Expo (Mesh Pack) set (Simmons, 2024) for TXTRs to show properly in game. ALL files with “MESH” in their name are REQUIRED. You may need “move objects” and “grid on/off” cheats to place some objects to your liking. For the SKYLITE, you need the BBNiche1Master (BuggyBooz, 2012) from the original set or from the Repo Pack (Simmons, 2022). When placing partitions/floating shelves and tables/desks/counters on the same tile, place the partition/shelves first. I recommend using this set with Object Freedom 1.02 (Fway, 2023), which includes Numenor’s fix for OFB shelves (2006), for easier use overall. ITEMS Chairs (522-928 poly) Coffee Table (690 poly) Conference Table (~1180 poly) Desks 001- 002 (647-914 poly) Server Table (926 poly) Sofa (574 poly) Skylite (1376 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA COMPATIBILITY AVOID DUPLICATES: The #co2cdkseries includes edited versions – replacements - for items in the following CC sets: 4ESF (office 3, other 1/artroom, other 2/build), All4Sims/MaleorderBride (miskatonic library, office, postmodern office), CycloneSue (never ending/privacy windows), derMarcel (inx office), Katy76/PC-Sims (bank/cash point, court/law school sets, sim cola machine), Marilu (immobilien office), Murano (ador office), Reflex Sims (giacondo office), Retail Sims/HChangeri (simEx, sps store), Simgedoehns/Tolli (focus kitchen, loft office, modus office), ShinySims (modern windows), Shoukeir via Sims2Play(reverie office, step boxes/shelving), Spaik (sintesi study), Stylist Sims (offices 1,2, & 3, Toronto set), Tiggy027 (wall window frames 1-10), Wall Sims (holly architecture, Ibiza). *The goal is link the objects to the recolors/new functions in the #co2cdkseries without re-inventing the wheel!

okay but there really is something so malicious about how supernatural was allowed to acknowledge dean’s Intense Subtextually Gay Relationships With Men and how they’re Clearly Different From Sam’s Relationships With Those Same Men as long as it’s all directed at the other character. anyone and everyone was allowed to make cracks about cas and crowley being in love with dean for years on end but when dean admitted that his relationship with cas is different than sam’s--i lost cas and it damn near broke me--the line had to be cut. yeah these guys’ relationships with dean are different than their relationships with sam but it’s all because of them being the weird gay ones who insisted on falling in love with dean despite his valiant heterosexual effort to keep them at a platonic arm’s length. of course dean wasn’t allowed to reciprocate cas’ feelings or react to the confession or even be particularly nice to cas because if we acknowledge that dean is part of the reason deanandcas is so different from samandcas then we’re also acknowledging that the gay subtext isn’t just coming from cas but from dean too, which means we’re acknowledging the possibility that our all-american marlboro man action hero isn’t straight. and we can’t have that because it failed the market research

claire novak is genuinely the best character supernatural ever came up with. she’s a bitch. she’s empathetic. she’s bratty. she’s selfless. she held a sword to a random teenager’s throat. she has abandonment issues and struggles to accept the love of her adopted family as a result. a gay angel is possessing the corpse of her biological father and using it to have sexual tension with her surrogate father figure. she has a saintlike capacity for love and forgiveness. she is determined to kill and cannot be stopped. she’s a dean mirror. she was a werewolf for a hot second. she’s holding dean’s dvd of caddyshack hostage. she actively refuses to go to college. she broke the unbreakable cycle of violence by forgiving the supernatural creature that destroyed her family instead of seeking revenge. AND she’s a lesbian

something something ifrit is the name given to specific types of powerful demons in islamic myth

Traditionally, Arab philologists trace the derivation of the word to عفر (ʻafara, "to rub with dust" or "to roll into dust"). It is further used to describe sly, malicious, wicked and cunning characteristics. Some Western philologists suggest a foreign origin of the word and attribute it to Middle Persian afritan which corresponds to Modern Persian آفريدن (to create), but this is regarded as unlikely by others. ( gods this is from wikipedia but i promise some heavy duty studying to come )

uuUUUUAAA ok something something ifrit live in the realm of the dead ( from what i understand ) ,,,, ifrit are sly, wicked and cunning, something something ardyn as a daemon is all of those things his bond is with the deity ‘ifrit’ who happens to be bound to him as an ifrit can be bound to a sorcerer ( ??? ) also ifrit are not inherently evil, they may arrive to deliver the will of God, although it’s going to be brutal eg retribution , vengeance for unjust murders ,,, 

something something mithra, a zoroastrian divinity of light, covenant , oath , ( something something ardyn is coded heavily as the sun, ‘ardyn (arden) lucis caelum’ burning light [of the] sky=the sun lbrh its right in our faces ) 

Although the Behistun inscription of Darius I (r. 522 – 486 B.C.) invokes Ahuramazda and "the Other Gods who are", this inscription of Artaxerxes II is remarkable as no Achaemenid king before him had invoked any but Ahura Mazda alone by name. Boyce suggests that the reason for this was that Artaxerxes had chosen Anahita and Mithra as his patron/protector Divinities.

Mithra has invoked again in the single known inscription of Artaxerxes III, A3Pa, found at Persepolis. In that inscription, that emperor to appeals to "Ahuramazda and the God Mithra preserve me, my country, and what has been built by me." ( again this is sadly from wikipedia but honest to god i just need to get this out and i’ll elaborate eventually i promise )

uhh speaking of persepolis  here’s the ruins of the gate of xerxes

here’s costlemark, which is uhh the last? remaining ruins of solheim, or at the very least the only identifiable ones and guess where ardyn is from, solheim 

which was conveniently ruled over by ifrit, who ardyn is you know .... highkey associated with, which loops us right back to ardyn associated with light as ifrit is also called ‘pyreburner’ also the scourge originated in solheim which is uhhh kingdom of the sun, ardyn ( the sun ) meant to be the first king of light so on so forth, 

according to ep ardyn, insomnia was built by somnus, which means it is NOT the place where the initial coronation was mean to happen and all things considered the ruins of costlemark tower may be the tower where ardyn died for the first time, so insomnia’s basis on japan and the remaining lucis caelum line ( especially the modern ones ) being based on the yakuza is still perfectly valid, because ardyn’s coding is arguably ENTIRELY SEPARATE from that,

aNYWAY SOLHEIM IS PERSEPOLIS ARDYN IS THUS PERSIAN AND IS REPRESENTATIVE OF BOTH THE GOD OF LIGHT, MITHRA, THE SAVIOR, CHRIST, THE AVENGING BUT NOT INHERENTLY EVIL IFRIT, THANKS FOR COMING TO MY TEDTALK

6 ORCHARD 12/15/2023 0836

Wee Cora Lee told me that they were considering setting up daily rituals to outline meaning in life, like catching the bus at the same time/place, and befriending someone you would look forward to seeing and sharing the brief journey. I thought that was excellent…for Cora. While I have had bus friends, I generally have led a solitary bus life, a dispassionate observer, grateful for the ride.

I catch the bus at my home stop, Spaulding and Orchard. A shoebox short bus, #522. I ask for the day pass. The driver obliges. I look at the card.

Senior discount. I’m now officially old. It was a good ride. Not dead, can’t quit.

We have another rider. Franklin and Orchard. Old guy like me. He pays cash, gets change. And now he gets off at Irving and Orchard. And huffs off in an easterly direction. He grunted and groaned the entire 7 blocks.

Now getting close to work. Holiday hours. I did this ride accompanied by episode 39 of The Suburban Abyss

A continuing inspiration to me.

Ukraine war latest: Drones hit Moscow, Zelensky says war 'gradually returning' to Russia

Key developments on July 29-30

Drones attack Moscow, reportedly damaging Russian ministries' offices

Military reports hitting bridge between occupied Kherson Oblast and Crimea

Russia launches missile attack at educational institution in Sumy, kills 2, injures 20

Peace formula talks to take place in Saudi Arabia; Russia will not attend

Zelensky visits Ukrainian positions in Donetsk Oblast, recovering soldiers in Ivano-Frankivsk

Three drones attacked Moscow in the early morning of July 30, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed.

Two of the drones hit buildings in Moscow, while one was destroyed over the Odintsovsky district of the Moscow region, the ministry claimed.

Following the attack, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that the facade of two buildings in the “Moscow City” business district was “insignificantly damaged."

Photos from the spot showed substantial damage to several building floors.

According to the independent Russian media outlet The Insider, the offices of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Digital Development, as well as the Federal Agency for Nationalities, and several other agencies were located in the building hit by drones.

A local Telegram channel also posted photographs of the documents allegedly belonging to the Russian Ministry of Digital Development found on the nearby streets following the attack.

Although Sobyanin claimed there were no casualties, the Russian Defense Ministry said one person was injured due to the attack.

Russia claimed Ukraine was responsible for the attack.

In a video message on July 30, President Volodymyr Zelensky said it’s “natural and fair” that the war is returning to Russian territory.

“Ukraine is becoming stronger. The war is gradually returning to Russian territory – to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process,” Zelensky said.

He did not, however, clarify what he meant by the war “returning to Russian territory."

“Russian aggression has suffered bankruptcy on the battlefield,” he said. “Today is the 522 day of (Russia’s) so-called ‘special military operation,’ which the Russian leadership expected to last a week or two."

Yurii Ihnat, the Ukrainian Air Force’s spokesperson, also commented on the attack, saying the drones aimed to affect Russians who felt that the all-out war was distant.

“There’s always something flying in Russia, as well as in Moscow. Now the war is affecting those who were not concerned,” Ihnat said.

Multiple hits in Crimea

On July 29, Ukraine’s military intelligence said the explosions at the ammunition warehouse in Russian-occupied Crimea that took place earlier on July 28 were the result of sabotage.

The intelligence agency, however, didn’t explicitly say whether Ukraine was behind the attack.

When asked by the Kyiv Independent whether Ukraine was behind the explosions, Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the military intelligence, only said that the warehouse “was an enemy site on Ukrainian territory."

The agency reported that two explosions were heard at around 10 p.m. on July 28 and were followed by the sounds of detonating ammunition.

The warehouse was located in Kozacha Bay near Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea and a major port for the Russian Navy. According to the report, Russia’s 810th Separate Marine Infantry Brigade is based in Kozacha Bay.

Later in the day, the Ukrainian military confirmed it had struck the Chonhar Bridge, a key connection between occupied Crimea and the Russian-occupied part of Kherson Oblast.

The confirmation by the Strategic Communications Directorate of Ukraine’s Armed Forces comes after the Russian proxies in the occupied Kherson Oblast accused Ukraine of attacking the railway connecting Dzhankoi in Crimea and Henichesk in Kherson Oblast with cruise missiles on July 29.

Other bridges across the Chonhar Strait between Crimea and Kherson Oblast were also damaged on June 22 following strikes.

General Staff Deputy Chief Oleksii Hromov later said Ukraine had carried out the attacks using Storm Shadow missiles.

The Chonhar Bridge serves as an important route for Russian military personnel and supplies on the southern front line.

Who does Crimea really belong to?

Russia’s war against Ukraine began in Crimea. In February 2014, as the pro-Russian regime in Kyiv was killing protesters on the barricades of the EuroMaidan Revolution, thousands of Russian troops without insignia began occupying strategic locations and military bases in the Crimean Peninsula.

Russia attacks Sumy, kills 2

On July 29, Russian troops launched a missile attack against the northern regional capital Sumy, hitting a local educational institution.

As a result of the attack, two people were killed and 20 injured, Sumy City Council reported. Three people were hospitalized.

Following the attack, local authorities reported that two dormitories and four residential buildings were damaged.

Over the past day, a total of nine communities in Sumy Oblast were under Russian attack, Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported.

According to the report, Russia shelled the Sumy, Krasnopillia, Bilopillia, Yunakivka, Myropillia, Seredyna-Buda, Esman, Nova Sloboda, and Shalyhyne communities.

The authorities said two private residential buildings and a power line were damaged in Nova Sloboda. No further casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure have been reported.

Sumy Oblast is located on Ukraine’s northeastern border with Russia. It has been the target of daily Russian shelling and attacks from across the border since parts of the oblast were liberated from Russian troops in early April 2022.

Nathan Greenfield: Ukraine’s use of cluster munitions to evict Russian troops is both legal and just

U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions triggered a debate that saw NATO allies, including the U.K., Canada, and Germany, as well as human rights groups, oppose the move. In the U.S., the decision was opposed by right-wing Republicans and the centrist

‘Peace formula’ talks to take place in Saudi Arabia; Russia will not attend

On July 30, President’s Office Head Andriy Yermak said that a meeting to discuss the implementation of Ukraine’s peace initiatives would be held in Saudi Arabia in the near future.

According to him, the three-phase Ukrainian Peace Formula will ensure peace in Ukraine and “create mechanisms to counter future conflicts in the world."

“We are deeply convinced that the Ukrainian peace plan should be taken as a basis because the war is taking place on our land,” Yermak said during a visit to Ivano-Frankivsk.

The Wall Street Journal reported on June 29, citing unnamed diplomats, that Saudi Arabia is due to host peace talks in early August, with top officials from 30 countries, including India and Brazil, invited.

According to the media, Russia will not attend the summit, and China’s presence is also unlikely.

The attendance of the U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is expected. However, there was no confirmation yet from the National Security Council, according to the report.

The summit comes as Russia and the West battle over the support of developing countries, which have mostly stayed neutral throughout Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine.

The WSJ said the event is set to be held in the port city of Jeddah. Although it’s unclear which countries will attend the summit, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine have chosen 30 invitees, including Egypt, Mexico, Indonesia, Chile, and Zambia, according to the WSJ.

The media also reported that the U.K., South Africa, Poland, and the EU have confirmed their attendance.

Russia’s influence on Africa exaggerated, experts say

When Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, it received nearly universal condemnation for its aggression. Yet, while most Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia, most African states were mute. Many African countries chose to remain silent on the war – and became a major destinat…

Zelensky visits Ukrainian positions in Donetsk Oblast, recovering soldiers in Ivano-Frankivsk

On July 29, President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Ukrainian positions in Donetsk Oblast, marking the professional holiday of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces.

“Bakhmut direction, advanced positions of the Special Operations Forces. Today, I am here to congratulate our warriors on their professional day and to honor their strength,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

The following day, Zelensky visited a rehabilitation center in the western regional capital of Ivano-Frankivsk to meet with soldiers undergoing treatment.

“I want to thank our soldiers for their feat and heroism. Thank you from all Ukrainians for defending our country. We will definitely win! I wish you all a speedy recovery!” Zelensky said.

Ukraine’s counteroffensive lurches forward: Key moment looms as more forces committed
