Train attendant Tetiana Kohut checks the tickets of passengers before departure to Lviv at a railway station in Kyiv, Ukraine on June 12, 2024. (Danylo Pavlov / The Kyiv Independent)

War changes everything

Tetiana Kohut, a 37-year-old train attendant, often sees strangers find common ground while traveling. It’s not surprising, she notes: in the intimate space of a train compartment during long journeys, shared everyday rituals – like sleeping or sipping tea – create a cozy atmosphere, naturally fostering connections among passengers. Trains have also evolved into unexpected hubs for celebrity encounters and important connections, often paving the way to shared projects and other new opportunities. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale war, Ukrainian trains have borne witness to more tears of sorrow, sadness, and grief than ever before. Just a day after Russian troops began heavily bombarding Ukrainian cities in late February 2022, Kohut was working on her regular route from Lviv, her hometown, to Novooleksiivka in Kherson Oblast. But her train never reached the destination. The village, located on the east bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast, was swiftly occupied by the Russians. "We reached Zaporizhzhia and were told that we could not go further," Kohut says. "We also were ordered to allow everyone on the train, not only those with tickets. We became an evacuation train." A train attendant of nearly 20 years, Kohut heard the sounds of explosions for the first time that day in Zaporizhzhia. She also saw hundreds of people at the station. Many of them were crying, and others looked lost and heartbroken, leaving suitcases on the platform as they boarded the lifesaving train to escape the war. The first-class sleeping car she worked in was designed to accommodate 20 people but ended up carrying nearly 200, Kohut says. "A woman from Zaporizhzhia helped me count the passengers and wrote a heartwarming letter to thank us." The start of the all-out war changed everything for Kohut and many other train attendants across Ukraine. In the first few months of the invasion, they worked without breaks, despite their exhaustion, to ensure everyone who wanted to escape the war could board their trains. The war also heightened the hazards of their work, as Russian attacks occasionally target train stations. Over 600 Ukrzaliznytsia employees have been killed since Feb. 24, 2022. Kohut says she lost colleagues in the Aug. 24, 2022 Russian attack on Chaplyne, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, when a passenger train and a residential area were hit, killing a total of 25 people. One of her close friends, a fellow train attendant, was seriously injured in the attack. Once filled with laughter and excitement for upcoming travels, the train cars are now often filled with crying, silence, or the heavy sighs of people sharing the pain brought by Russia’s war. "We have to be doctors… We have to be psychologists for our passengers now," says Kohut.

Introducing the M-V Headgear Technology System.

A Federation workers' muzzle and visor concept/headcanon (featuring Fred).

More information can be found within the following document.

A Federation Handguide to the M-V Headgear Technology System (MVHTS)

The "M-V Headgear Technology System" is made up of two main components: "Muzzles" and "Visors".

Muzzles were implemented as a safety measure. Due to incidents in the past, muzzles started to be used to prevent cases of biting. Some more common cases involved circumstances of a sudden "Polar Bear Syndrome" instance or an agitated worker. Since muzzles were introduced, cases rapidly declined and ceased to exist, and thus it became the standard and requirement for all federation workers to wear them in their daily lives to prevent any future incidents or casualties.

Visors are important in assisting workers. A transparent electronic screen on the inside allows for an overlay to be applied in real time of what they see. This allows the user to get general identifying information, statuses, and Federation notes such as warrants or warnings when looking at residents, coworkers, threats, enemies, or the environment. This also helps with training new members, as the screen shows names of individuals as well as tasks. Physically, a thick uv resistent lens provides protection from hazards, stray particles, and the sun.

When muzzles are used in combination to the visor, this allows an additional barrier of separation between the workers and the residents. Both equipment hides any indication of emotional expression by the user and prevents unnecessary relations with others, especially island residents. This is intended for physical, emotional, and mental protection of employees, as well as keeping professionalism.

Removing the M-V Headgear Technology System

If the headgear needs to be taken off, employees can enter a break room. Upon entering, a sensor in the doorway allows the locking mechanism in the back to be unlocked. The lock can then be opened, and the headgear can be removed. An attempt to leave without the gear fassened or locked will alert a superior.

Note: in recent events of employing residents (such as W0039 or "Foolish"), all workers should be more cautious of their surroundings before removing their MVHTS, even if in a break room. It's recommended that no headgear should be removed if any resident is within the building or area.

In case of emergency without easy access to a break room, users should squeeze both top and bottom buttons located on the back lock in unison for a few seconds, allowing the straps be unlocked and the device to be removed. However this method should ONLY be used in absolute emergencies. When unlocked, the headset itself will make a loud beeping noise and notify a superior.

Employees seen without their M-V headgear outside of a break room that do not have the proper clearance should be reported immediately. It should also be reported if a resident sees an employee without their headgear. Attempts to avoid being around residents while not wearing a visor, especially a muzzle, should be made at all costs as it is strictly against the rules.

While these components are highly sturdy, should any of them become heavily damaged, you should notify your nearest supervisor immediately. A temporary backup should be provided as soon as possible.

Other MVHTS Details

- In regards to WA01, aka the Census Bureau, or "Cucurucho", their muzzle is different from the others due to it's modification. A voice mod and speakers are built into it, allowing for communication with residents and fellow workers. It's also fitted with a smile design (":]") to appear more friendly and recognizable when speaking to residents. Cucurucho is the only worker to not have a visor. Do not make any reference to the appearance of their eyes in front of them.

- The only other speaking worker currently around, WS01 or "Elena", also has a muzzle fitted with a speaker and voice mod. However unlike him, she does wear a visor.

- All muzzle and visor designs are usually very fairly to each other, but as they are specially made, some are different shapes mostly depending on the form of the users face. However requests for sharper/rounder headgear are considered and can be made.

- All M-V systems of Federation workers are primarily white/light grey.

- Only the front-most "mouth" mesh is flexible enough for a straw or liquid to permiate it, allowing for drinks on the job.

- Mesh designs can vary, especially depending on the rank of the employee.

- Each lock on the back is fitted with a dim light. The color of the light differs depending on the employee/rank. For example, WC construction workers have primarily orange or yellow lights, WB workers assigned to guarding and authority have white lights, and WA workers, such as WA02, have a blue light. The higher the rank, the more likely that they may have a more unique color. Elena has a pink light and Cucurucho is an exception as they do not have a light on theirs. Lights are never red as that is reserved for indicating that the headset is unlocked or unfastened. If any workers' lights not amitting light, they should be advised immediately or be reported to a supervisor.

Observations about Mononoke Karakasa characters & relationships based on costuming & color palettes

Let's guess who these girls' parents are and see where this rabbit hole takes us!

Analysis below the cut! This isn't spoilers as much as it is just going over publicly available information with a fine tooth comb but proceed with caution. Buckle in, this is gonna be a long one!

Based on the color palette of their outfits, these two girls featured in the second trailer at the 0:17 timestamp are the twin daughters of Hokuto Mizorogi (溝呂木北斗) as indicated on his bio on the official website.

Given Mizorogi's status as priest of the "Omizu-sama" faith, it's entirely possibly he's given special privileges within the ooku to father a child.

According to Japanese geisha culture, their half-painted lips indicate that they are children. They partially shaved their heads is reminiscent of a nun's makes sense given their religious parentage. Two context clues combined, I believe they are priestesses-in-training - a position which is higher than even that of the most favored concubines.

Supporting this theory, these twins have a very high position of power in the Ooku despite their youth, as seen by them being at the front of the procession featured in the teaser trailer at the 0:07 timestamp. They also have uniquely colored umbrellas:

As an aside – given how most of the spiral-masked women are visually identical, uniquely colored outfits are a visual shorthand for status (or narrative significance) in the ooku.

And I believe they are the gatekeepers for the, uhhhh, how do I put this delicately? The shogun's baby-making room? Take this with a grain of salt though; I could only see a sliver of the room they were opening in the first screenshot. The colors seem fairly similar though!

But also consider: this babymaking room has a lot of eye motifs, which is reflected in the pit seen in the ceremonial area where I presume Mizorogi presumably performs his religious services:

The third trailer introduces the theme of discarding essential parts of yourself. There is a shot of the comb falling into a pool of water in an unknown location:

Paired with the visual of the comb lying amongst discarded valuables in the water in the second trailer, I'm going to hazard a guess this is a common "ritual" of sorts:

I'm willing to bet Mizorogi enforces this "identity discarding" ceremony on behalf of the shogun. It says in his character bio he's a strong believer of "Omizu-sama". Did he discard his role as a father to step into the role as a the priest?

Their mother may be Kitagawa (北川), a high ranking maid within the Ooku.

The twins' hair and eye colors look similar enough, but there's more meat to this theory. Kitagawa seems to be a narratively important character based on how heavily she's featured in the trailers in increasingly angsty/mysterious ways:

Perhaps Kitagawa "gave away" her motherhood to the waters, which has religious baptism connotations. This hypothetical scenario feels rife with mononoke-formation potential.

Furthermore, from costume design standpoint, she also shares the blue and teal colors featured in Mizorogi's outfit.

As for her purple accents, I believe it is a color reserved for the higher-ranking women of the ooku.

I have a theory that the darker a color is, the higher the status is. Consider:

Asa (Left), who is a new maid but has a lot of potential for upwards mobility.

Tokita Fuki (時田フキ) (Center)), a lowly commoner who caught the attention of the shogun. Because she's a commoner, the purple is faded despite her high status, perhaps representing that it will disappear once she loses the shogun's favor. But because the rose pattern is almost a one-to-one match to that of Mizorogi's, perhaps she is strongly favored by this man as well.

Awashima (Right), the subordinate of Utayama, who is falling out of favor as Asa rises in prominence. There are still pops of dark purple, but a washed out lavendar permeates her palette.

Both Tokita and Awashima also have highly saturated yellow/yellow-greens, which could represent potential danger of their power disappearing due to outside influences.

As for the deeper purple...

Otomo Botan (大友ボタン) (Right) - a lady in waiting and daughter of a high-ranking senior councilor. Note that she also has pale purple in her palette because her high status was not earned. Because she borrows power from influences outside of the ooku, the black accents are represent that she has more power than even Utayama, the most powerful woman within the ooku.

Utayama (歌山) (Left) - the woman with the highest position of the Ooku,  "Odoshiyoroshi". She is also prominently garbed in red and white, which is a color seen in the shogun and a little bit of Mizorogi's outfit:

Lighter shades of red (i.e. pink) also seem to indicate men of lower status that still have some position of power, like these guards:

Note that Kame (カメ) (Left) and Mugiya (麦谷) (Right) also possess these "masculine" colors which may indicate that they have more forceful personalities compared to other women within the ooku:

Their respective outfits also have analogous shades close to the blues prominent in Mizorogi's outfit. Assuming blue has religious connotations (akin to Virgin Mary), perhaps they are also strongly faithful to whoever this "Omizu-sama" entity is.

Meanwhile, Asa also wears pink, but does not feature any blue in her outfit. I think may represent her lack of faith. She does seem like a more levelheaded individual not easily swept away by more dazzling aspects of mysticism.

This is the look of a woman who not only has a braincell or two, but has it on her person at all times.

Now let's look at our main protagonists!

Kusu features red and purple color accents in his outfit, which makese sense for his gender ambiguous presentation. You could say that the other colors featured in his outfit represent how the influences he collects by interacting with humans. Black is also featured heavily as the canvas for these colors. As mentioned earlier, this represents influences outside of the ooku.

In contrast, Shingi while sports both the masculine red/white and feminine purple colors of power, the latter definitely eclipses the former which matches his masculine presentation. His outfit also has black, but because his influence in the world comes in bursts during exorcisms, it is featured less prominently than Kusu. His disheveled look may represent his discarding of these superficial societal norms. His power - symbolized by red - need not be worn. It is already tattooed onto his skin - literally.

The only other characters that have red tattooed onto their skin are the twins from the beginning of this post. Come to think of it, their partially shaved look may also be a nod to the shogun's power - indicating that their very existence is divinely approved by him. So we come full circle!

So, yeah! Although these twins don't have an official bio, there's a lot to learn about them and others from extrapolation and inference alone!

In summary:

Red/White = Masculine/Divine power

Blue = Religious power

Purple = feminine power

Yellow = danger of power loss

Light colors = weak influence

Dark colors = stronger influence

Thank you for coming with me on this long diatribe!

The ORION team stumbled across a previously undiscovered planet during a routine atmospheric probe. Their spacecraft, equipped with advanced long-range scanners, detected unusual energy signatures emanating from an uncharted region of space. Initially, the readings were faint and erratic but as they drew closer, the signals grew stronger and more distinct, piquing their curiosity. That next morning, before the debriefing, each team member meticulously prepared for the mission. Jorlan started by running diagnostics on all their devices. While waiting, he delved into the latest data collected from their recent missions and analyzed the raw data streams in order to compile the data into a series of comprehensive reports, complete with visualizations to make the information more accessible for the team. Zerath began his day long before anyone else with a demanding training session. Afterward, he reviewed the latest intelligence reports with Zyri. He considered various scenarios they might encounter, from ambushes to environmental hazards, and outlined responses for each. Meanwhile, Zyri tried to decipher the energy signatures to no avail. Velana spent the morning in the laboratory where she conducted final analyses on biological samples collected from their latest expedition. Each observation was carefully documented, contributing to the growing body of knowledge about the new life forms they encountered. Despite extensive records, there was nothing that could prepare them for what was to come. As each team member entered the briefing room, they were greeted by a large, central table surrounded by ergonomic chairs, each equipped with individual data screens. The room’s walls were adorned with interactive displays showing real-time data feeds, star charts, and mission objectives. The central holographic projector hummed to life, displaying a rotating 3D model of the planet they were orbiting. The planet's surface appeared rugged, a vast expanse of reddish-brown terrain marked by deep canyons. Dust storms swept across the surface, creating an 3D render of swirling particles. Velana stood at the center of the room, her eyes scanning the holographic display that projected a detailed topographical map. "Preliminary scans indicate a complex network of underground caverns," she began, "These caverns may harbor unique alien life forms adapted to the harsh, subterranean environment." Zyri tapped her datapad and outlined a few zones of interest. "There are also unusual energy signatures emanating from deep within the caverns. If we can decipher their source, it may open new avenues." Zerath stepped forward, his expression serious. "While the scientific prospects are promising, we must proceed with extreme caution. The unstable terrain and frequent dust storms pose significant risks. We don't know what kind of creatures might be lurking in those dark caverns and any misstep could be deadly. Stay alert and stick to the safety protocols." Jorlan stepped up and tried to surpress a smile as he tapped his handheld device to project schematics on the center console. "Before we go, I’ve got a new piece of equipment that I’ve been dying to field-test: a helmet. It isn’t just about protection; it’s equipped with an integrated augmented reality display, advanced environmental sensors, and a real-time communication system.” He carefully pulled out a few high-tech masks, placing them on the table with a sense of pride. The masks were impressive, designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic that spoke of advanced engineering. The main body of each mask was made of a lightweight, durable material with a matte black finish, giving them a streamlined, almost futuristic look. Across the front, a curved transparent panel covered the mouth area, allowing for clear visibility of the wearer's facial expressions while still providing protection. As the debriefing came to an end, the ORION team geared up and prepared to descend to the planet's surface.

Can it be fixed?

Most of us live in areas with a “throw-away culture”.  Single-use items are everywhere, and it is generally easier (and frequently cheaper) to replace an item than to fix it.  Unfortunately, many consumer items are actually designed to be difficult or impossible to repair.  Significant resources are used to create, transport, sell, and dispose of even simple items.  Once an item is thrown away, its component materials are no longer available and eventually, the earth’s resources will be used up.  And there is no “away” for our trash.  We just hide it in landfills, where it is out of sight but can still create significant problems for the earth.   Every time we repair an item and continue to use it, we are helping the earth.  A little research can help you repair many items (or find a business that can perform the repairs).  CAUTION: do not attempt to fix items that use electricity, natural gas, propane, or hazardous chemicals unless you have appropriate training.  If you make a mistake, you could start a fire or injure or kill yourself or others. And always unplug an electrical item before working on it.  Now that we’ve covered the safety concerns, let’s talk about repairs. The article at the link provides lots of links to information to help you repair many of your own items, including clothing and some electronics, appliances, and furniture.  Sometimes you can hire someone who can fix these items for a reasonable price.

FF7: Random Bits 02 - Chapter 3

[Setting- Inspector Percival P. Baerbotamm is visiting the new Midgar Army training facility at the request of President Rufus Shinra, to see how things are going.]

[Location - Training Field - Zack is just starting the tour]

"So, this is the Training Field, or as the cadets like to call it, 'The Plain of Pain'." Zack joked as he made a broad, sweeping gesture with the arm that was not draped across Percival's thin shoulders. The field was comprised of grassy areas where various activities were taking place. How the grass managed to grow at all with so many boots trampling over it was truly a groundskeeping miracle.

"Of course, these are just the fields we use for PT, drills, etc. We do have virtual training rooms for advanced mission simulations and Materia training, but it's always good to get some real-world experiences. We have a variety of real terrain areas that we drive out to. There's the Nightmare Forest, the Field of Screams, the Lake of Tears, the Bleak Peaks, the Swamps of Sadness, the Hills of Despair, and that over there," Zack said, pointing to the most diabolical jumble of ropes, razor wire, tires, rusty metal sheets, towering wooden structures, blunt swinging objects, sharp swinging objects, metal monoliths, water hazards, spike pits, and bristling iron thickets, "Is The Course." 

Percival Pinwinkle Baerbotamm shuddered at the note of sadistic pride in Zack's voice, half expecting a dramatic flash of lighting and boom of thunder. As if not to disappoint an expectant audience, a gout of flame spewed dramatically from one of the taller wooden towers. A bird, having the misfortune of passing by at the wrong time, was roasted to perfection and fell to the ground, where it was snapped up by one of Zack's mako wolves.

A group of 1st Class SOLDIERs was currently navigating the hellish construct while being shouted at by an irate sounding drill instructor. 

"Good heavens!" Baerbotamm cried in shock, "Is that even safe? I-I mean, it certainly doesn't look up to Code!" He began leafing frantically through the contents of his clipboard, searching through the building safety code guidelines. 

"Of course it's up to Code! You can't properly develop agility and combat skills on rickety equipment." Zack replied just as a small section of the wooden handrail on one of the many foot bridges broke away and fell to the ground. "It's designed to do that." Zack said defensively as Inspector Baerbotamm gave him an accusing look, complete with arched eyebrow. "If you could encounter it in the field, it's on The Course. It's not any more dangerous than the playscape at Mick Chocobo's Burger Hut!"

One of the SOLDIERs slipped off the bridge and tumbled to the ground, his descent punctuated by pained grunts as he bounced off some of the random lower structures before landing in a muddy moat with a splash. The young man broke the silty water's surface and frantically started swimming towards solid ground. Something in the water started trailing after him like a sinister 'V' and the soggy SOLDIER seemed to suddenly have miraculously grown an off-board motor. 

Water sprayed out behind the desperate man as he shot through the water and hit the bank, leaving a light gouge in the dirt. The mysterious shape followed him right up to the edge of the water before abruptly vanishing as if it had never been.

"Oh my Shiva!" Percival exclaimed, his eyebrows rising nearly off the top of his not-quite-bald head.

"He's fine," Zack said in an unconcerned drawl as the sodden man struggled to his feet while being berated by the drill instructor. 

"Was that a-a crocodile?!"

"What? No, of course not! You can't keep crocodiles in fresh water." 

"Er, oh...well, then-!"

"That's an alligator."

"A what?!"

"Oh, look, here comes General Strife!" Zack said quickly, grabbing Percival's thin shoulders and turning him sharply away from the horrors of The Course. "Hey Cloud!" 

Cloud nodded to Zack as he joined them on the field, saluting for the sake of formality in front of their guest. 

"Percy, this is General Cloud Strife," Zack said by way of introduction.

"Pleased to meet you, General," Percival replied, trying to ignore the sound of whooshing flames and harried screams coming from behind him. "I am Inspector Percival Pinwinkle Baerbotamm-!" 

"That's Bee-Aee-Ee-Are" Zack interjected helpfully as Cloud's expression went carefully wooden.

Percival extended a thin hand that looked like little more than a bundle of twigs. Cloud shook the twiggy appendage very carefully, half expecting to end up with a handful of fingers that weren't his own.

"Pleased to meet you, Inspector..." Cloud responded quiety, his eyes immediately drawn to the man's eyebrows, which seemed to bristle at him. Cloud got the uneasy feeling that they were glaring at him. His eyes narrowed slightly as he suppressed the strong urge to hiss at them.

"Goodness! You aren't wearing any shoes!" Inspector Baerbotamm exclaimed with a pained wince, shaking Cloud from his thoughts. "That's unsanitary! And against regulations!" he winced again as Cloud looked down at his feet.

"Now, now, Inspector, remember Rule Number One," Zack said, patting him on the shoulder. 

"But-!"

"He used to wear the regulation boots, but they kept getting torn up so quickly, we decided it was just a waste of resources to make him wear them." Zack explained. 

"My feet don't fit in the boots when I Shift to my Half-Form. They are the wrong shape." Cloud elaborated, seeing the lost look that had wandered on to Percy's face. 

"I'm not sure I understand."

"ELITEs have a human form, and an animal form, referred to as an ELITE form. For some reason, almost all the ELITEs are wolves, but we do have a few exceptions. They can also take what we call a Half-Form."

"Half-Form?"

"They look like humans with animal ears and tails. They can also manifest wings, " Cloud attempted to clarify.

"You know, like cosplayers." Zack said. "Except Cloud's feet change as well, just because of how his ELITE form is." He noted the look of grudging curiosity in the man's eyes. "You can see it later."

"Oh, er...I suppose, but the ground...and the, er, animals..." Percival insisted as he watched an orderly pack of very large wolves trot by.

"Oh, don't worry, Baerbotamm," Zack reassured him as the man's eyebrows crinkled up like sloughed off straw papers. "We don't let the ELITEs poop in the fields or anything."

"Except for that one time..." Cloud said.

"Yeah, well, he was drunk. And he did get his nose rubbed in it." Zack countered. 

"Didn't you also make him taste it?"

"Well, I had to make sure it belonged to him. I didn't want to punish the wrong person!"

"I beg your pardon?!" Percival squeaked in alarm.

"Well, moving on! Let's get inside and get to the good stuff!" Zack chirped, ignoring the horrified inquiry as he herded the Inspector towards the main entrance.

"You look a little tense, Inspector," Zack said brightly "Let's stop by the cafeteria and get you a stiff drink!"

"Y-you serve alcohol in the cafeteria? You drink on duty?" Percival asked, aghast. 

"Sure, but only the SOLDIERs and ELITEs are allowed to."

"But that's against the rules!"

"Actually, it's not." Zack said, snapping his fingers. The SOLDIER from earlier materialized and handed Zack the Big Book of Rules, handily opened to the section regarding drinking while on duty. Zack handed the book to the Inspector, who read it with a look of increasing confusion and distress.

Due to the high metabolic nature of a mako-enhanced system, drinking while on duty is permissible, provided the individual be at least a 3rd Class SOLDIER,  and be limited to two drinks per meal.

"Of course, that's just a suggested serving," Zack added as he handed the book back to the waiting SOLDIER, who promptly disappeared. "Most of us metabolize alcohol so fast, we could drink a 12 pack and not even get a buzz."

Percival's thoughts spun like a washing machine as he tried to wrap his head around what Zack had just said. There were so many things wrong with this, this abomination of a rule!

"You shouldn't be drinking on duty! What if something happens? What about your liver?"

"Then we go out, deal with it, then come back and have a celebratory drink! And people have been pickling things for centuries. Scientists do it all the time! Have you ever seen all those pickled organs in jars? It preserves them and makes things last longer. C'mon, Percy, it's okay to bend the rules a little every now and then! Live a little!" Zack said, leading the protesting Inspector away.

Cloud followed a few steps behind. There was just something about Baerbotamm's eyebrows that had him more than a little unsettled. Normal eyebrows just didn't move like that. Making a mental note to ask Zack about it later, Cloud followed them up the path to the Main Building, ready for the next part of the tour.

Hi! I'm new on Tumblr so sorry if I trapass any line asking this.😅

Recently I read an immagine about our Batchers and their numbers and I noticed that they're a squad no? But normal clone squads are composed by 5 clones not 4.

And then I realised that 99 is the number of the clone force. What if the missing clone from the Bad Batch was in fact clone 99? And something happened in his gene modification and he turned out like that.

(I know it's long but I need a lot of word to express myself. Also English isn't my first language so sorry if there are any mistakes. Love your work btw☺️)

Hi there! Welcome ~

So, as far as I understand, Commando squads, such as the batch, are generally made up of four men.

For example, Delta Squad. Which is made up of Boss, Fixer, Scorch, and Sev.

The Batch follows a similar makes with Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, and Crosshair. With the same specialties.

Hunter/Boss being the squad leader. Tech/Fixer being the tech expert. Wrecker/Scorch being explosive ordinances expert. Crosshair/Sev being snipers.

Regular squads, such as Domino Squad, are set up a bit differently, being made up of five parts rather than four. Why this is, I have no idea. I can hazard a guess, based off of what I remember if their personalities, that the squads would have the same basic make-up as delta, but with an additional "face" person. You know, the charming one who is naturally good at dealing with civilian.

Of course. I could just be pulling this out my ass. It's entirely possible that squads are always made up of four men and domino squad is just weird.

As for 99...if I remember correctly, his proper designation is Alpha-99, which would put him in the same area as Alpha-17. If I remember correctly there was a problem with the increased aging gene with 99 so he aged a lot faster than his brothers and the Kaminoans didn't bother to try and fix it.

Although, perhaps 99 was meant to be their trainer? Which would explain why they have designations CT-9901 to CT-9904.

But really, this is just me rambling at this point. Train of thought writing, ftw lol.

And no need to worry about the language thing! You probably speak English better than I do and I'm a native speaker!

Patch 1.1.0 is out -- NOW ON STEAM! Just in time for the holidays! Other PC platforms (EGS, GOG, Stove) will follow in due time. However, due to various development circumstances, we could not get this new patch ready for console porting in time before the holidays. We will inform you more later when we are better aware of the release timeline for consoles - so we ask for your patience.

Without further ado though, here are the Patch Notes for Gravity Circuit 1.1.0:

New features

Boss Rush: Guardian Corps HQ now features Combat Memory Bank, a computer which lets you refight any of the game's bosses at your leisure. Good for practice, or for chasing record times!

Armor paints: Prim, a painter NPC that hangs around in the Guardian Corps HQ, now offers swappable armor paints, allowing further customization! These armor paints each bestow new abilities or effects, so give them all a try! Prim will explain to you how to unlock the paints to her shop.

Quality of life additions

Loadout swap: A dedicated button for quickly swapping loadouts on the fly. During gameplay any unset or empty loadouts are skipped when the button is pressed, so you can choose to use only two loadout slots, or all three.

Slide: A dedicated button has been added for sliding. Down and jump will still continue to work, but this button may be useful for those who need it.

Hookshot - vertical: A dedicated button that locks the hookshot's aim only to upwards vertical directions. This may help with any platforming involving the hookshot, for those who might need it.

Mouse control mapping: You can now map mouse buttons on PC, in addition to keyboard keys.

Effect Timer: An additional toggle setting has been added to the game's system options menu. This toggle adds on-screen visuals for certain effect durations, removing ambiguity. This setting is enabled by default, but can be toggled off at any time.

Burst techniques

Cycle Kick: In-game shop price reduced from 2000 to 1500.

Surface Render: In-game shop price reduced from 2000 to 1500.

Gravity Freeze: Affected area increased, damage slightly increased.

Piercing Drill: The chain portion now also damages enemies, not just the tip, making the technique easier to use effectively.

Flying Strike: Fixed an issue involving the Speedrun Mode, where it was possible to accidentally skip acquiring the technique by saving and quitting during the Opening Stage (Central Station). It was still possible to buy the technique, but Flying Strike is intended to be given to the player for free.

Gameplay

Pass-through platforms: Kai can now gain sprinting speed by holding the run button (or having "inverse" run button behavior enabled) when dropping through pass-through platforms.

Sprint jumping when hugging walls: Previously, if Kai was hugging a wall while grounded (holding left/right while up against a wall), Kai would be unable to gain sprinting speed when the run button was held (or having "inverse" run button behavior enabled) when jumping. This behavior has been fixed.

Hopkick: Kai's hopkick (up+attack while grounded) has been sped up by a few frames based on player feedback.

Telefragging: When Kai is struck by a hazard (lava, spikes, crushing), Kai will perform an Emergency Warp to last safe ground. Because this behavior could sometimes lead to Kai respawning inside an enemy, Kai now automatically defeats any enemy around him.

Data chips

"NPC" type data chips: Research cost reduced from 150 to 100.

Stage changes

Highway: Fixed an issue where it was possible to skip over the stage's checkpoints with certain actions.

Ore Mines: Fixed a certain area not having correct camera triggers when entering it in a specific way.

Guardian Corps HQ (visuals): Additional sign has been added to hint towards the location of the training facilities.

Guardian Corps HQ (design): Additional platforms added to make reaching the Training Room easier.

Guardian Corps HQ (training room): When Dave the Training Dummy is hit, the Training Room door will be inoperable for a few seconds. This is to prevent players from accidentally exiting the room while performing combos.

Guardian Corps HQ (NPCs): "Prim" and "Shock" NPCs have switched places. Their dialogue has been adjusted slightly to match these changes.

Final stage: Additional respawn points added in a certain section.

Localization

Chinese: A certain scene had an issue where the talking characters were accidentally reversed, and there were other issues involving few untranslated words. This has been fixed.

English: Fixed a slight typo in Pat's dialogue.

Misc

macOS: Loading times improved by changing some code, that made some of the game's threads run slower on systems with M1 chips.

Speedrun Mode: If the in-game timer is enabled from the game's system settings, Speedrun Mode is enabled by default when launching the game (if Speedrun Mode has been unlocked). This is so that speedrunners do not need to remember to toggle this setting every time they launch the game.

General code performance: Slight improvements across the board in various places, that cumulatively help the game run more smoothly on lower end hardware.

Master Great Exercise Techniques With A Physical Trainer

Regarding accomplishing your fitness goals, you really need the right direction. A personal physical trainer can assist you in preventing mishaps, better your training results, and understanding appropriate exercise techniques. Working with a certified trainer offers unmatched advantages regardless of your level of experience with exercise or sports. A physical trainer guarantees correct form, helps you create a customised exercise plan and keeps you motivated.

With the help of a physical trainer, you can pick up good exercise techniques like follows:

One Tailored Fitness Plan For Your Objectives

A private trainer near me creates a customised training schedule for your needs. They assess your preferences, health aspirations, and degree of fitness. Whether your goals are weight loss, strength development, or increased flexibility, your trainer may design a program that fits them using this knowledge. Working with a trainer guarantees that every session is efficient and directed towards achieving the results that really matter to you. Unlike a general exercise program, a tailored one takes your particular needs and restrictions into account.

Knowing The Correct Form And Approach

Hiring a physical trainer mostly comes from a need to perfect proper form. The bad form could lead to injuries and slow down Development. Strength trainers near me concentrate on technique to make sure every exercise is done right. A trainer can provide insightful comments on your movement, alignment, and posture. Learning the correct technique lets you maximise your workouts and target the right muscles. They also let you change your motions as necessary, so avoiding bad habits from arising.

Avoiding Mistakes With Professional Guidance

Any exercise program depends critically on injury prevention. Strains, sprains, and long-term damage can all follow from poor technique while weight lifting or aerobics. Correct exercising techniques taught by a physical trainer will help you avoid these hazards. They track your movements constantly and adjust to make sure you don't overreach or push yourself too much. Correct coaching will help you to reduce your chance of injury while also allowing you to workout confidently. Working out on your own alone could cause you to ignore this degree of concentration.

Encouragement To Keep Consistency

Keeping motivation to work can be difficult, particularly in cases when you do not observe immediate results. Close by is a private trainer ready to motivate and assist you. They make you responsible and help you to keep on target even if you would rather not work out. Their help will help you to develop a successful habit and keep Consistency. Professional motivation might assist you in reaching your fitness goals. Trainers also acknowledge your achievements—no matter how small—to keep you motivated and on target.

Monitoring And Correcting Development

Maintaining the course requires constant tracking of Development. A physical trainer logs your Development and tweaks your program. Whether your goals are increased flexibility, endurance, or heavier weights, progress tracking keeps you driven. Trainers assess your performance and make required changes to prevent plateaus. Constant program modification guarantees that your workouts are successful and helps you to change with the times. With every session, they also assist you in concentrating on particular objectives and spotting areas needing improvement.

Conclusion

One of the best approaches to reach your fitness objectives is to engage a physical trainer. Their knowledge, guidance, and support will enable you to improve the outcomes of your workouts. Learning correct techniques, keeping motivated, and avoiding injuries will help you to achieve long-term success in your fitness quest. Hiring a qualified physical trainer will affect your health and well-being, whether your search is for a gym with trainer or a private trainer close by.

"with the nature of her and Euros' relationship this often times results with the Inspectors yoinking her to play or cuddle with"

Imagining some inspectors hauling Sparrows into a zero-g section of his structure for cuddles and/or watching her spin futilely for their own amusement lol.

Speaking of - is there any particular mechanic equipment designed to help traverse the zero-g sections of an Iterator, or are the mechanics expected to stay Well Away from those areas for safety reasons and only enter when the gravity is enabled?

i imagine that like... 80% of the whole structure is constantly in 0g with the rest of 20% havin the low kind of gravity that we see In Pebs' labs for the sake of easier travel of the mobile components, so turning off the gravity disruptors wouldn't be beneficial for shite especially for long periods of time

the Mechanics get a LOT of training in 0g to figure out the best movement for themselves. the Ancients in general r better wired in the brains for the movement than slugcats thanks to being originally water animals (Rivulet in my heart can better traverse Pebbles than other slugcats too, after they figure out the differences between floating in water and floating in 0g)

But! indeed there are some mechanical stuff that help them out. both Sparrows regular boots and the boots for the special suit have magnets in the soles (?)

i don't REALLY have it figured out visually all that well, but one can turn those on n off

the Mechanic's watch is able to send out... not really a "distress" signal in this case, but like "hey help out here will ya" signal that mobile/capable components can n will answer. like an Inspector comin in to watch out for her just in case while working on the transform arrays (endlessly affectionate bout Inspectors savin the player's ass from hazards even though i haven't experienced it myself yet), or one of those red floaty noodle things twisting themselves that way and the other so she can grab on and right herself or propel herself forwards

i've also thought about possibly using the breathing mask equipment for movement in the sense that the tube that connects the face mask with the gill mask could be unscrewed and propel her forward with air but like........ there isn't exactly much of a strong airflow in there to cause such movement so 😔 guess nu

it's mostly about knowing the movement n being clever about it (+routing so you pop out from the tunnels closest to the goal) and the magnetic shoes

oh, but a fun thing for travel around the structure in general! i'll mention it here since it's at least a lil connected

to be able to get around the whole giant structure without needing to like. camp out in multiple spots and actually get shit done, there are specialized tunnels for fast transport of defensive components like for example the Inspectors again. they are comparable to lymphatic system in human body and inspired by the sea currents of the Ancients' original home. Mechanics and Admins, posing as something of a supreme white cells from the outside (antibiotics could work as a comparison too???) in the structure to human body comparison, can use these tunnels freely as much as they want to

Why You Should Trust Water Damage Restoration Experts with Your Property

Water damage can strike unexpectedly, and it doesn’t take much to wreak havoc on a home or business. From heavy rainstorms and flash floods to burst pipes and appliance malfunctions, water damage can come from many sources. When it does, it leaves behind a mess that can be overwhelming, costly, and even dangerous if not handled properly. While many homeowners and business owners might consider tackling the damage themselves, the value of hiring a professional water damage restoration company cannot be overstated. Water damage restoration experts bring the experience, tools, and expertise needed to properly restore your property and safeguard it against future issues.

Here’s why trusting water damage restoration experts is one of the best decisions you can make in the aftermath of water damage.

1. Fast and Efficient Service to Minimize Damage

When it comes to water damage, timing is crucial. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes. Within minutes, water can begin soaking into walls, floors, and furniture. After 24 to 48 hours, mold can start to develop, causing further damage and health risks. A professional water damage restoration team understands this urgency. They provide a quick response and work efficiently to start the restoration process right away.

Professional water damage experts use advanced equipment like powerful pumps, industrial-grade dehumidifiers, and high-speed air movers to remove water and dry affected areas quickly and thoroughly. They know exactly where to focus their efforts to prevent further damage, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run.

2. Expertise in Assessing and Repairing Damage

Water damage can be deceptive; what looks like minor surface damage can hide serious structural issues beneath. Water can penetrate walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to unseen mold growth, rotting wood, and weakening structural elements. An experienced restoration team knows how to assess damage comprehensively, identifying hidden issues that could cause bigger problems down the road.

Restoration experts have specialized training in water damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs. They can evaluate the extent of damage accurately and implement the right solutions to restore your property to its original condition—or even better. Their assessment skills help you avoid future problems and ensure that every inch of damage is addressed.

3. Prevention of Mold Growth and Health Risks

Mold growth is one of the most concerning side effects of water damage. Within just 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, mold spores can begin to grow and spread throughout your property. Mold not only damages surfaces but also poses health risks, especially to people with respiratory issues, allergies, or weakened immune systems. Some molds can produce mycotoxins, which are dangerous for people and pets.

Water damage restoration experts are trained in mold remediation techniques to prevent and eliminate mold growth. They use specialized chemicals and equipment to sanitize and remove mold while ensuring it doesn’t spread to unaffected areas. By hiring professionals, you protect your family, employees, or tenants from potential health hazards.

4. Advanced Equipment for Thorough Restoration

The equipment required for proper water damage restoration goes beyond what most people have on hand. Professional restoration teams have access to high-powered, industrial-grade tools designed for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. These include:

Powerful Pumps: High-capacity water extractors remove standing water quickly.

Air Movers and Dehumidifiers: These machines speed up drying, preventing further damage and the spread of mold.

Moisture Detectors and Hygrometers: To ensure complete drying, these tools measure moisture levels in hard-to-reach areas.

Infrared Cameras: Used to locate hidden moisture pockets behind walls and ceilings.

With this advanced equipment, water damage restoration experts can remove water, dry affected areas, and dehumidify the environment in a way that DIY efforts simply can’t match.

5. Expertise with Insurance Claims

Navigating insurance claims for water damage can be complex and time-consuming. Restoration companies often have experience working with insurance providers and can help streamline the claims process. They document the extent of the damage, take photographs, and keep detailed records of restoration work, providing everything the insurance company might need to expedite the claim.

Some restoration companies even have dedicated teams who can assist you through the entire claims process. Having an expert on your side to handle insurance can be invaluable, ensuring that you receive fair compensation for repairs and restoration.

6. Minimizing Costs with Proper Restoration Techniques

DIY water damage cleanup can lead to costly mistakes. Without the right knowledge or equipment, you might miss hidden damage, use improper drying techniques, or even unintentionally spread mold spores. These missteps can increase long-term costs by creating more damage and health risks.

Water damage restoration professionals help you save money by getting it right the first time. Their methods are tried-and-true, designed to address every detail of the cleanup process. They ensure thorough drying and proper sanitation, preventing further issues and reducing the likelihood of costly future repairs.

7. Peace of Mind and Long-Term Protection

When you hire a water damage restoration expert, you’re not just restoring your property; you’re investing in peace of mind. You can rest assured knowing that the job is being handled by experienced professionals who are committed to delivering quality results. Many companies even offer warranties on their work, which means if any issues arise, they will come back and address them.

Beyond the immediate restoration, these experts can provide valuable advice on preventative measures, helping you avoid future water damage. They might recommend installing sump pumps, improving drainage around your property, or sealing areas that are vulnerable to leaks. This proactive approach can be a long-term safeguard for your home or business.

Steps Involved in the Water Damage Restoration Process

Understanding the typical steps involved in water damage restoration can give you insight into why hiring professionals is beneficial. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

Inspection and Assessment: The team evaluates the extent of the damage, classifies the water contamination level, and creates a restoration plan.

Water Removal: Using powerful pumps and vacuums, the team removes standing water to prevent further damage and expedite drying.

Drying and Dehumidification: Industrial fans and dehumidifiers dry out the property, preventing mold and rot.

Cleaning and Sanitizing: All affected areas and belongings are cleaned and sanitized. Items that can’t be restored are properly disposed of.

Restoration and Repair: Finally, any structural repairs, such as replacing drywall or fixing floors, are completed.

Trust the Experts for Quality Restoration

Water damage can be a stressful and overwhelming event, but hiring a water damage restoration expert helps bring order and reassurance to a chaotic situation. They not only remove the water and repair the damage but also ensure that your property is safe, secure, and ready for the future. With their prompt response, advanced equipment, expertise in mold prevention, and assistance with insurance claims, restoration experts provide invaluable support.

In the face of water damage, don’t take unnecessary risks or attempt to handle it alone. Trust the professionals to get the job done right, protect your investment, and restore your peace of mind.

@ my fellow dog owners. Keep your dogs on the leash. I don’t care how sweet and friendly they are, being off leash in areas not designated for off leash is a hazard to them and others. I don’t care if they’re well trained. Cars are unpredictable, other dogs are unpredictable. Don’t put your dog in a position to get hurt. Especially don’t have them off leash if they are a breed perceived to have aggression issues. People can be assholes and will take your dog hanging out off leash as a sign of aggression. All it takes is one Karen losing her shit for your dog to be taken away. Keep. Your. Dog. On. Leash.

The magnemite line.

The magnemite line.

A strange yet no less loving pokemon.

General notes:

Many pokemon have unusual body plans. The magnemite line is one of the most well known. With its almost robotic design one could be fooled into thinking it isn’t alive and aware. This could not be further from the truth.

General care:The magnemite line is one that requires set up. As it is drawn to electrical sources, appliances in your house need to be surge-proofed. I’m told Devon corp sells devices specifically for magnemite owners to protect their appliances. However, you will need to leave at least one power socket free to allow them to feed. Though you save money on pokekibble, be prepared for a small spike in power bills. 

That said, they have been reliably observed to eat berries by crushing them with their bodies and appearing to absorb the juice, though it’s something of a mystery how that process works. Keep wet wipes handy. Though you may think them brainless, magnemite does require mental stimulation. Though they have no hands or means of manipulating things, they can do one thing.

Stare.

They’ll stare at the TV. They’ll stare out the window. They’ll stare at any and all new things in the house. They’ll stare at you coming home. They’ll stare at you making dinner. And they’ll stare at you in your sleep until they power down ready to stare at things in the morning. With no hands or other senses like smell, they have powerful visual acuity. Why else are their eyes so proportionately large? All they really have to experience the world is vision. This makes them one of the few pokemon suited for those who often have to leave the house, such as office workers who might not be able to bring their pokemon to work. Flick your tv to the poke-documentary channel and they’ll be enraptured until you come home. That said, they’re no less affectionate than many other pokemon, and just because they don’t mind solitude that doesn’t mean you can simply ignore them. They get attached to their trainers and like to be included in your life. If one is truly concerned about them being alone, it’s not hard to catch another two magnemites and introduce them (following safe introductory methods) to get a magneton. Magneton are surprisingly vocal with each other. They’ll hum, buzz, vibrate and whirr at each other for hours. Many people reckon a magneton quietly talking to itself at night is better than any white noise machine for sleep aids. Magnezone are a little more interactive, and seem to be able to utilize certain fields to manipulate objects. This tends to manifest as them picking up an item, staring at it for a good while, then setting it down and selecting another. They very rarely break things in this way. It’s easier to just let them quietly fiddle. All members of the magnemite line benefit greatly from the occasional polish. They do sell magnemite formulated metal polish, but with their metallic biology no adverse effects have been seen from just buying some from the hardware store if it’s hard to source in your area.

Care rating: Green.

Training: Magnemite are simple enough to battle train, and with few messy or destructive habits, are easy to housetrain. Training rating: Green

Safety: All electric types carry the hazard of shocks, and these pokemon are no exception. Though less reactive than a number of other pokemon, they aren’t oblivious, and sudden noises or movement may prompt an instinctive jolt. If you have a pacemaker or any kind of heart condition, or conditions such as epilepsy that may be triggered by flashing lights, magnemite (or any electric type for that matter) is not the pokemon for you. Safety rating: Orange

Overall ranking.Chill little dudes that like their own company just as much as they like yours. Good for those who can’t always be home, but don’t forget to give them love and affection. However, they may incur some setup costs unless you’re willing to keep paying for new microwaves.
