HARM ENGINE - square wave harmonics or digital sonic filth in +/- 5 octaves with 3rds and 5ths

The HARM ENGINE is based on the CIRCUITBENDERS 'Harmonic Engine' PCBs, it's "a clone of the E&MM Harmonic Generator. This was a project by Paul Williams, published in Electronics & Music Maker magazine way back in 1981. The circuit uses a 4046 Phased Locked Loop (PLL) to generate a squarewave output at harmonic intervals to the frequency of the input signal. The squarewave can be set to +/- three [5 + a chaos noise mode in the METSÄÄN version] octaves, and can also produce 3rd or 5th harmonies. That's the theory anyway. In practice this only works reliably if you use very basic waveforms at the input. If you use anything else, then everything very quickly descends into a beautiful kind of chaos, with all kinds of bizarre gurgling digital squeaks and squeals vomiting forth. Its especially effective with percussion sounds, converting each hit into some kind of warped electronic splatter." The controls from top left to right are: SENSITIVITY - controlling the level at which the harmonics will be played. Turning the pot clockwise increases the gain of the signal (it also boost with a slight distortion, the DRY signal). In higher settings, the squarewave harmonics can form a modulated drone voice. Activity of the HARM ENGINE is indicated by a green LED, that turns on when harmonics are produced. 3RD/5TH - the 3 position toggle switch activates the corresponding detuning. The middle position is neutral. MIX - is a blending function to dial in the balance between DRY and HARM signal. If something is plugged into the DRY and HARM outputs on the rear of the machine, MIX stops working, because the signal is split before. OCTAVE - with a 12 position rotary switch, +/- 5 octaves are selected, 12o'clock is neutral and 6o'clock is the chaos/noise mode. TRUE BYPASS - The footswitch is configured for true bypass and has a pink indicator LED inside the machine, the glow can be seen through the vent grills in the enclosure. Build into a scavenged high voltage converter housing made from plastique painted in the 'burned out industry' camo pattern in matte black and chrome. Hand made by grm for METSÄÄN.

OC: Lance Sheehan

Basic Info

Name: Lance Sheehan

Alias(es):

Date of birth: July 05 2037

Zodiac sign: Cancer

Gender: Male (he is a trans man)

Place of Birth: Night City, Charter Hill

Sexuality: Polysexual

Appearance

Height: 5’ 11

Build: Average, modestly athletic

Hair: Dark brown

Eyes: Black sclera with green and reddish iris

Cyberwear: Enhanced Kiroshi optics with greater zoom and magnification, as well as real-time feed on patient vitals on demand when connected. Enhanced fine motor control and stabilisation in his hands and arms. Biomon and hormone regulators, particularly for diabetes and testosterone. Synth skin with enhanced sensitivity (helps during operations) as well as sensors for monitoring his clients vitals. Upper face plate contains more optical sensor arrays connected to his eyes. Second heart. Electrical discharge cybernetics in his hands, primarily for defibrillation purposes.

Background

Languages: English, Gaeilge, Spanish

Affiliations

Arasaka: former subsidiary employee

Occupation: Ripperdoc

Role: Full-body conversion, Netrunning and neurological cybernetics specialist as well as general Ripperdoc skills.

Weapons: Can use his defibrillator cybernetics as a weapon but at a much higher voltage.

Lance was born to wealthy parents and enjoyed a comfortable and relatively privileged life as he grew up in Night City. His education led him into cybernetic medicine where he gained a wealth of experience from some of the best clinics across the world. His family unlocked many doors and opportunities for him but he was very aware that this wasn’t the case for many others.

Lance returned to Night City employed in an Arasaka subsidiary company who installed and maintained the cyberwear of their employees and students who were in their employment programme. Lance was put on a team who were part of research into how cybernetics and cyberpsychosis are linked. The research focused around full or near full body conversions. Four groups were involved; one consisted of voluntary subjects who were given cybernetics and their new bodies looked the same as their organic one. The second group consisted of subjects who didn’t volunteer and didn’t know what was to happen but left as a full or near full body conversion looking as they had before with the expected changes they had gone in for. The third group consisted of people who had been told they were going in for a full body conversion but were not given anything new. Finally the control group went in for routine installations. The teams did the work as if it was routine and had been informed and presented with documents saying all of the patients consented to whatever procedure the research leads had designated them for.

Lance was the lead ripper of one of the teams and operated on Voss who believed he was in for something else but left as a near full body conversion. It wasn’t until later when Bernice hacked files from the company that Lance found out about the experiments. He lived with deep shame and guilt after that and it impacted him in many ways around he approaches consent both personally and professionally.

He didn’t know about Voss until he connected and found his name as the one who signed off his conversion when he reviewed Voss' records. Voss never knew as all his work when in Arasaka had been done by the corporation rippers and after nobody commented because it wasn’t relevant to the work being done.

Lance is an ambitious and focused person but somehow he does this without stepping on others to get to where he wants. It could be his outgoing and pleasant personality or it could be that he is just that good at his work or perhaps a bit of both.

Either way, Lance is successful in his work and makes a very comfortable living. He takes his work seriously, is methodical, organised and calm nerves.

Some of the higher end Rippers might like to see themselves as medical rock stars but Lance prefers to let his work speak for itself. There’s no room for showmanship when you’re operating on delicate neurocybernetics or with cutting edge pieces that cost a small fortune. People go to him because he is reliable, steady and has a wonderful consultation process to help his clients get the best out of their cyberwear.

Lance’s perfectionist tendencies however can be a problem which he knows he must keep tabs on as it can lead to more stress than is healthy.

Despite what he learned, Lance continued working as a Ripperdoc. In a way he wasn’t surprised he was lied to as he’d have refused to operate on people who were being misled and many corporations were the same when it came to their ethics. Lance only wants to do right by people in a world which pushes them all to the limits.

He has great sympathy for Voss when he finds out he was responsible. Some may view him telling Voss the truth as the wrong thing to do, and even dangerous but in time they are friendly and Voss goes to him for Ripperdoc work. Who better than the person who made him and knows the original work so well?

He has no partner and no relationship currently. Work often makes it difficult, among other reasons. Lance is a regular client of Charlie’s; Lance has a thing for elves and finds Charlie’s manner and professionalism exactly what he needs.

Dark thoughts plague the man who still loves you.

I wake groggy, taking in my dismal surroundings. My brain rejecting the situational reality. I shift on the hard metal surface to relieve my aching shoulders.

My thoughts drift to my future family, wishing for their safety. During the lengthy hours without severe suffering, I attempt to reconcile with the painful mistakes of my past. Deeply regretting the stupid decision that led here, that sabotaged my happiness.

I allowed the structured ways of the past to dictate my future. My fear of the Dark Side led me directly to it. I try to resist its seductive call, but each day I feel the light dim, leaving behind murky darkness.

Giving myself willingly over is required, an impossible requirement I resist each grueling day. Choosing light and peace feels less obvious with each torturous minute.I ignore the growing rage in my belly. The metal door swings open, revealing my captor, a sickening smile plastered on his green skinned face.

“You look well rested.” He mocks, sitting behind me, making me paranoid.

I resist squirming during the long passing silence, instead bracing for inevitable pain. It doesn’t come.

“What did you dream about? Brother.”

I tense, refusing an answer and knowing excruciating punishment awaits. Fearsome purge troopers enter the freezing room, carrying crackling electrobatons. The usual three approach while engaged in lively conversation, ignoring their unpleasant purpose, to my relief.

“I asked you a question, Brother.” Fifth Brother speaks again, threats dripping from his innocent words.

The purge troopers cease speaking, brandishing their deadly weapons, awaiting my reply. I clench my teeth together. One outcome awaits. The first trooper presses his electrified baton forward, contacting my bare torso.

An animalistic scream rips through my parched throat, echoing against the sturdy concrete walls. The pain stops, but the aftereffects leave my abused body twitching. I’m sickened that the heat of the electrobaton soothes my freezing exposed skin. That I find temporary relief in my suffering.

As the buzzing wears off, the second trooper jabs his weapon forward, making contact. Every muscle tenses and my head whips back, my rigid body shakes from the high voltage. I gasp, desperate for air, but pain shoots through my nerves as the third trooper lunges forward, a sadistic laugh cutting the air.

Fifth Brother is patient, allowing each to indulge in inflicting pain on my tired form. Once sated, they stand back, awaiting the next round of questions that I will resist against my self preservation.

“I quite enjoy watching you suffer. However, I have news that will wait until you answer my question.”

I lick my chapped lips, weighing the presented options. The troopers hold position while I stare at the stained concrete floor.

“What news?” I ask, knowing I sealed my fate.

The purge troopers leap forward together, an electrobaton contacting my chest and each thigh. I hear someone else screaming, my brain exiting my body, pulling me far from the extreme suffering.

The pain stops and I barely hear the question that follows.

“What did you dream about?”

“I didn’t dream.” I say.

“Think harder Brother, you did dream.”

I scrunch my teary eyes closed, trying hard to remember. The faded memory won’t show, blocked by my subconscious desire to remain true to the light side.

White hot pain shoots through my fatigued muscles, my teeth pressed hard against one another. Some dark entity claws from the depths of my weakening mind, something power hungry. Pain overwhelms my resistance as electricity surges, drawing forth the hate. Memories of life draining from their eyes, my powerful fist clenched tight.

The pain stops, my breath left shallow and ragged. The loud silence feels worse than the torture, the calm before the storm. A controllable storm I can end through willing submission.

“Perhaps you will share the news of your kin tomorrow.”

Worry flickers in my eyes, betraying my earnest refusal. Fifth Brother catches the expression as he circles the soiled interrogation chair.

“This intrigues you?”

A single nod, determining my fate.

“Last chance Brother.”

My parted lips suck in chilled air. “I was killing the purge troopers.”

“How?”

“The Force.” A beat of silence. “I strangled them before they could hurt me.”

“What emotions did you feel?”

“Fear, rage, hate.” I admit, knowing I am fighting a losing battle.

Fifth Brother shows his white teeth, a fearsome attempt at grinning. He waves the purge troopers away, leaning against a nearby steel table. I hold my breath, knowing that Fifth Brother is a greater threat than high voltage weaponry.

“Excellent, you are learning quickly. You will walk alongside your fellow brothers and sisters soon. The woman you foolishly impregnated has finally risen from her hospital bed. Thirteenth has surely collected her, though you have more claim to her than he. After all, it is your child she carries.”

Anger flows through my veins at his name, knowing he poisons her against me. Images of the night with her flashes before my eyes, pulling me briefly to safety. My brain allows the intimate scene to replay without guilt gnawing at my insides.

Sparks tingle along my skin as her rear brushed the front of my trousers in the small kitchen. My eyes scanning her ample cleavage while I shared a story over dinner. The subject of the story lost to time, but her dilated pupils etched into my mind.

I spent countless nights rocking myself into my hand. Silently calling out her name into the darkened bedroom, wanting to hear her call mine. Desires to taste her, run my hands over her smooth skin, feel her clench around me.

The blissful evening overwhelmed me and I moved too quickly, forgot to savor the exquisite gift she provided. I forgot to care for her pleasure, despite imaging it nearly every night. Regrettably, I severely hurt her the following morning, as my selfishness did not stop.

Plagued by guilt and nightmares; nightly dreams of my old Master, lecturing on the danger of attachments. The difficult nightmares haunted me from the moment she became my girlfriend. Lustful thoughts led to vivid memories while I restlessly slept. I pulled away when the dreams were worse, unable to explain my unpredictable hesitation. She was kinder than I deserve, never asking for answers, and providing endless understanding.

The pursuit of light led to suffering despite the promise of the opposite. I hadn’t completed my training, lessons surely lost with the fall of the Jedi Order. Perhaps living between worlds was my downfall; never fully giving myself to love or the Jedi teachings, choosing to live halfway between both.

I loved her, but feared the repercussions of my Master at night. I still love her, but could not face those feelings, even in finding out I had fathered the child inside her belly. Still never fully committing to her, instead of loving her and the potential of family, I treated her as another duty.

“Once you have accepted your new title, you may stake your claim, though it would be wise to rebuild your strength before facing Thirteenth. I will help train you to take back what is truly yours. The only way is through the power and strength granted to us through darkness.”

Negative emotions overwhelm me, but I keep my hollow face determined. I could not love her when striving for light. The Dark Side provides an escape from the guilt of the old ways, a chance at redemption and the guidance needed to be the man I must for my new family.

Never will she know an unsatisfactory night. Her pleasure will always come before my own. Our relationship has become my priority, constantly on my mind between the darkening thoughts of my new dreams. I will have her again.

“Thirteenth doesn’t share his toys, but he is much weaker than before. Love blinds our Brother, his distracted state provides an opportunity for your success. But you are not yet ready. You cannot achieve what you desire when you are still weak. Accept the everlasting power of the Dark Side and take back what is rightfully yours.”

I gawk, coming back to myself, remembering the knowledge that forceful measures will not secure my desires. I shake my head, rejecting Fifth Brother’s sinister words.

“You agree that more suffering is required to unlock your true potential. You have shown promising progress on becoming the Fourteenth Brother.”

Fifth Brother exits the room, leaving the purge troopers in his place. I grit my teeth for the next round, each painful moment bringing me closer to her.

MAKE YOUR MARK

Pairing - MC X Onyx

Universe - Sin City, Vegas (lovestruck voltage)

Rating - Fluff, comfort

Includes - Biting, marking, jealousy, casino, drinking

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

Onyx was on a winning spree and the crowd was getting rowdier and louder after every win. MC was sitting and looking at her girlfriend laughing and enjoying herself from the other side. Pride bloomed in her chest after another win and she took a sip of her drink in celebration locking her eyes with her girlfriend’s. They both had matching grins on their gleeful faces.

 At the next table with Onyx ready to win another round, a drunk woman got bold enough to kiss onyx on her cheek “for good luck” she said. The blond assassin was a little surprised but covered up soon enough with a muttered –“Oh, sure Darling” and her usual sunshine smile which was a little strained. MC noticed the change in her girlfriend’s expression and stared daggers at the drunk woman all throughout the winning round. As soon as the round finished MC took Onyx’s hand and led her away to the deserted bar to get away from the crowd. Onyx followed silently and hugged her girlfriend as soon as they sat together in the corner.

MC comforted and hugged her hard until she sighed happily against her shoulder. They both had some water to pace their drinking and just sat looking into each other’s eyes, holding each other close. MC loved looking into her girlfriend’s green eyes which were shining brighter than actual emeralds in the dim lights. No one knows who initiated but MC found Onyx in her lap kissing her like she was the air she needed to live. They both kissed each other passionately but had to pull back after a very long moment to breathe. They just held each other for a long moment when Onyx broke silence and said – “I am yours….MC, mark me as yours…”

MC saw the vulnerability reflected in her posture and expression which came out only in front of her and wanted to comfort her in any way possible. She leaned in again kissing urgently devouring the blond who sighed against her girlfriend’s lips, hands balled in the fabric of her jacket. MC proceeded to leave kisses along her jaw and neck wherever she could reach. Teasing a little when she reaches the hollow of her neck gaining a delicious moan, she sucked the skin leaving marks on her pale skin. She bites hard near her collarbone and then soothed it with her tongue.

After a little while of indulging in this passionate embrace they went back to play and win a few more rounds before calling it a night. But this time MC sat with Onyx the remainder of the night and no one dared to be bold again with Onyx exhibiting her hickey through the open collar of her jacket, revealing to everyone who saw it that she was spoken for.

Data data

So... finding a big datasheet like I am used to is.. very hard for some reason... So all I found was the pin-out diagram. Very prettily made. Bonus for using hardware that is popular with enthusiasts. Found a few guides but nothing like a big datasheet. Oh well, gonna live without. Next up. Finding the email receipt for the RGB LEDs so I can look up the specs.

https://ardustore.dk/produkt/led-diode-rgb-5mm

Ok... have precalculated values for 5V, but not 3.3 like the Raspberry Pie uses. Fine fine. We can do that math ourselves. Forward voltage (How much voltage the LED will eat in order to work) is unique on each color and the pin will supply 3.3 V For blue and green it is 3.2-3.4V Great. No resistor, we just slap it straight on the pin For red, 1.8-2.0V Good good. So the math is: 3.3 - 1.9 = 1.4 So we want to get rid of 1.4 ohms with a resistor so the voltage is correct for the LED. To calculate that we also need the amperage. But this one we can just decide ourselves. We look up the max amperage of the Raspberry Pi pins. 16 mili-amps. We don't want to use max. So let us say half of that. Plug those two into ohms law V * I = R 1.4 / 0.008 = 175 So we need aboutish 175 ohm of resistance. I have...

Eh... 240 ohm will do. Good enough.

New transistor’s superlative properties could have broad electronics applications

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/new-transistors-superlative-properties-could-have-broad-electronics-applications/

New transistor’s superlative properties could have broad electronics applications

In 2021, a team led by MIT physicists reported creating a new ultrathin ferroelectric material, or one where positive and negative charges separate into different layers. At the time they noted the material’s potential for applications in computer memory and much more. Now the same core team and colleagues — including two from the lab next door — have built a transistor with that material and shown that its properties are so useful that it could change the world of electronics.

Although the team’s results are based on a single transistor in the lab, “in several aspects its properties already meet or exceed industry standards” for the ferroelectric transistors produced today, says Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics, who led the work with professor of physics Raymond Ashoori. Both are also affiliated with the Materials Research Laboratory.

“In my lab we primarily do fundamental physics. This is one of the first, and perhaps most dramatic, examples of how very basic science has led to something that could have a major impact on applications,” Jarillo-Herrero says.

Says Ashoori, “When I think of my whole career in physics, this is the work that I think 10 to 20 years from now could change the world.”

Among the new transistor’s superlative properties:

It can switch between positive and negative charges — essentially the ones and zeros of digital information — at very high speeds, on nanosecond time scales. (A nanosecond is a billionth of a second.)

It is extremely tough. After 100 billion switches it still worked with no signs of degradation.

The material behind the magic is only billionths of a meter thick, one of the thinnest of its kind in the world. That, in turn, could allow for much denser computer memory storage. It could also lead to much more energy-efficient transistors because the voltage required for switching scales with material thickness. (Ultrathin equals ultralow voltages.)

The work is reported in a recent issue of Science. The co-first authors of the paper are Kenji Yasuda, now an assistant professor at Cornell University, and Evan Zalys-Geller, now at Atom Computing. Additional authors are Xirui Wang, an MIT graduate student in physics; Daniel Bennett and Efthimios Kaxiras of Harvard University; Suraj S. Cheema, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and an affiliate of the Research Laboratory of Electronics; and Kenji Watanabe and Takashi Taniguchi of the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan.

What they did

In a ferroelectric material, positive and negative charges spontaneously head to different sides, or poles. Upon the application of an external electric field, those charges switch sides, reversing the polarization. Switching the polarization can be used to encode digital information, and that information will be nonvolatile, or stable over time. It won’t change unless an electric field is applied. For a ferroelectric to have broad application to electronics, all of this needs to happen at room temperature.

The new ferroelectric material reported in Science in 2021 is based on atomically thin sheets of boron nitride that are stacked parallel to each other, a configuration that doesn’t exist in nature. In bulk boron nitride, the individual layers of boron nitride are instead rotated by 180 degrees.

It turns out that when an electric field is applied to this parallel stacked configuration, one layer of the new boron nitride material slides over the other, slightly changing the positions of the boron and nitrogen atoms. For example, imagine that each of your hands is composed of only one layer of cells. The new phenomenon is akin to pressing your hands together then slightly shifting one above the other.

“So the miracle is that by sliding the two layers a few angstroms, you end up with radically different electronics,” says Ashoori. The diameter of an atom is about 1 angstrom.

Another miracle: “nothing wears out in the sliding,” Ashoori continues. That’s why the new transistor could be switched 100 billion times without degrading. Compare that to the memory in a flash drive made with conventional materials. “Each time you write and erase a flash memory, you get some degradation,” says Ashoori. “Over time, it wears out, which means that you have to use some very sophisticated methods for distributing where you’re reading and writing on the chip.” The new material could make those steps obsolete.

A collaborative effort

Yasuda, the co-first author of the current Science paper, applauds the collaborations involved in the work. Among them, “we [Jarillo-Herrero’s team] made the material and, together with Ray [Ashoori] and [co-first author] Evan [Zalys-Geller], we measured its characteristics in detail. That was very exciting.” Says Ashoori, “many of the techniques in my lab just naturally applied to work that was going on in the lab next door. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Ashoori notes that “there’s a lot of interesting physics behind this” that could be explored. For example, “if you think about the two layers sliding past each other, where does that sliding start?” In addition, says Yasuda, could the ferroelectricity be triggered with something other than electricity, like an optical pulse? And is there a fundamental limit to the amount of switches the material can make?

Challenges remain. For example, the current way of producing the new ferroelectrics is difficult and not conducive to mass manufacturing. “We made a single transistor as a demonstration. If people could grow these materials on the wafer scale, we could create many, many more,” says Yasuda. He notes that different groups are already working to that end.

Concludes Ashoori, “There are a few problems. But if you solve them, this material fits in so many ways into potential future electronics. It’s very exciting.”

This work was supported by the U.S. Army Research Office, the MIT/Microsystems Technology Laboratories Samsung Semiconductor Research Fund, the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Ramon Areces Foundation, the Basic Energy Sciences program of the U.S. Department of Energy, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan.

Climate Change and the Ozone [reference link]

Today, all the search engines yield results for the depleted ozone layer that say something akin to "Cuz UV radiation causes skin cancer". What is UV radiation--you might be asking; it's sun light.

My mother, when I was growing up, explained: "We open the curtains in the daytime to let the sunlight in so it kills the dust mites."

I'm not gonna go into what can cause skin cancer, a lot of people suggest it's sunscreen (or other lotions) especially HIGH UV protection sunscreen. (30 proof or less kids)

Sunlight gives off all colors of light, including that which we cannot see: Infrared, Ultraviolet (UV), and beyond.

It also creates heat, and that's the same mechanism that can give you a good tan, or burn depending on how close to Finland your racial origin is.

Ozone is like Oxygen except that it has an extra Oxygen molecule. This makes it [Heavy Oxygen] and unlike typical oxygen, can kill you if you breathe it in because your body cannot turn it into Oxygen.

You can make Ozone with a high voltage electrolysis process (not to be confused with the hair removal process electrolysis (Similar, but much lower levels) OR with UV Light. 🤔 ⚛️ (Baked Oxygen)

It can also be made with industrial or laser printing. (Which significantly helped speed up the ozone recovery process.)

So, when I was growing up, the big news at the time was "how do we close the Ozone layer, because it's causing global cooling." And everybody was worried about the next Ice Age and return of the wooly mammoths. (And led to the creation of the extreme skiing movie: Day after Tomorrow)

So when people are confused as to what "climate change" means, you tell them about global warming and people older than I think "Global Cooling?" They forgot about the Ozone layer.

The reason they felt this way is because Ozone is a "Green House Air Molecule"--gas sounds to similar to ⛽, so I changed it. As well as lessening UV radiation, it also *increases* the [Green House Effect]. Which means that it keeps the solar radiation that *does* pass through the atmosphere inside longer, and thus helps to keep the planet warm from the unforgiving vacuum of space.

By 1987 (👋) Scientists had identified the cause of Ozone depletion as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)--which is what we used for aerosol sprays at the time, and 56 countries had signed the "Montreal Protocol" which was an agreement to cutdown the production of CFCs and similar [ozone depleting chemicals].

And so, great news everyone--By increasing our dependence on office printers and cutting our dependence on CFCs: we caused global warming. (I made some accusations in an earlier post about global warming itself having happened before with detrimental effects in BC sometime, AND it being recorded by humans in literature that can be found in Chinese Texts like gilgamesh, as well as the bible, and there are some stones in Japan marking extreme weather indicators based on shore level. (Completely not gonna reference it, you should do research yourself instead of just taking *my* word for it.)

The Ozone layer is due to be completely restored to pre-1984 levels in 2050~ish. Compare the scales of ozone restoration to that of the timeline of global warming, and you'll see they coincide.

Now, the real reason we care about global warming is because it's *higher* than what it was during the industrial revolution. When we were doing much more environmentally adverse warming and polluting. But, you know the pollution was gonna kill us by killing the Ozone . Now, we're going to be suffocated by the ozone keeping the pollution in here, with us. (Throw away joke, the pollution was *always* in here with us.)

So; what, if anything should we do? Should we even worry about it? Does anybody *actually* enjoy cold weather anyway? Why *should* we protect Florida and not just allow the gators to takeover Alabama and Georgia? Two birds one stone IMO.

Well. Stop using printers, for one. The world is digital now, and we need to lower our dependence on oil based products. (Plastic printers and plastic toner my friends)

The resulting paper reduction will also decrease paper production, and cause a pollution deduction from the environment-uction.

Then we can use those ink jet printer materials for better electronics.

We could ramp up CFC production if we *really* find ourselves in a pinch.

We could reduce the production of fecal gasses created from unsanitary farming conditions. (That's a whole thing in itself that I won't get into here.)

Decrease production of food material (like breads and cereals) by factories, and just let people make it themselves. (This one is controversial, because how will people be able to make money to buy food to feed themselves if they're not making cereals for the pervert we know as Tony the Tiger? That's an economic question that should be answered with: why don't more people just work on farms for their income?)

Anyway, trying to prevent all the UV radiations from turning white people into golden brown marshmallows is racist AF* and I won't stand for it.

Kinktober 2

NSFW prompt: roleplay

Jinx X Akali

Usually Akali followed a simple saying. Not her turf, not her problem. But this time was personal. Stop the loose cannon. As simple as that. She pulled her mask over her nose and started sprinting over one of the many metal beams spanning over Zaun.

She only had a hunch where her opponent was hiding, but the lead was hot enough to take the chance.

Practically melting into the shadows she approached a run down warehouse. The music inside told her she was in the right place. A hole in the upper backside wall was her way in.

Jinx was in full working mode. Her music was blasting and the newest batch of improved chompers was coming together nicely.

She knew someone was out there to get her, but she figured finding her would take them a while. And even if it didn't, she was always ready to put up enough of a fight to escape with a boom.

It made her careless, back to the open room without any tripwires at all possible entrances. The space was cluttered with so much scrap metal, whoever was to set foot in there would inevitably make noise.

She carefully screwed another casing shut and grabbed a new blank.

Akali scanned the room. Her target had her back turned, loud music would cover her steps even if she misstepped somewhere in this mess of junk and scrap.

She had free line of sight. It would be easy to throw a shuriken and end this here and now, but she felt up to the challenge. Slowly a kunai and her kama were pulled out and she charged.

Jinx nearly missed the movement in the corner of her eye, which led to her whipping out zapper a fraction of a second too late. The high voltage charge fizzed into thin air, while a blade embedded itself into the desk where her hand had been. She scoffed and turned around to face the enemy. The green clad Ionian came to a stop in the middle of the room and stood with her weapons raised.

"Surrender now and no harm will come on to you!"

"He… yeah… no!" With that she whipped Pow-Pow out from under her desk and fired the first round.

"Shit!" Akali cursed. She had miscalculated the risk. She threw a smoke bomb to buy some time and put distance between herself and the mad gunwoman. She had to take her down fast before she'd deploy her infamous rocket launcher.

From a safe vantage point she threw five kunai at once. One cut the strap of the minigun causing it to fall from her handler's grip. The assassin used the opening to pounce the woman.

They landed with a heavy thud. Akali used the moment of shock to pin the woman to the wooden floor by the fabric of her top.

With her victory clear she sat up, still straddling her opponent.

"I will show you your place terrorist!" She growled.

A set of shuriken got used to pin her hands up by the gloves. "Quit resisting, it is futile!"

Jinx was not about to go down without a fight. Even with her hands and torso immobilized she tried to use her heavy boots as weapons. But her every move seemed to be expected and parried. The gravity of the situation dawned her. She truly was at the Ionian woman's mercy by now.

A harsh pull on her shorts brought her back to reality.

"What are you doing?" She squeaked "stop that!"

She got no answer. Instead her leg was pushed up to her chest and a wet core was pushed up to her own, where the assassin started hard grinding motions.

She tried to resist but her own body betrayed her and she finally gave into the feeling of need pooling in her lower abdomen.

Both of them moved into each other with rhythmic motions until they reached orgasm.

Akali fell onto Jinx with a grunt. After catching her breath she pulled her mask down and looked up to the bluenette. "You ok? Did I cut you or something?"

"Nah, don't think so. You got hit by any paintballs?"

"Nope"

She pushed herself up on her elbows and freed her girlfriend.

"You cut Pow-Pow."

"I'll apologize."

"damn right you will!"

"You kicked my Kama."

"I'll apologize too."
