I feel like we don't talk enough about the weird ways Viktor's future in Zaun is foreshadowed. When you mix every instance together it creates this weird mixture of heartbreak and terror.

For example, in the flashback when Viktor first meets Singed the entrance Viktor came through has a relief that looks like a shrouded figure. Personally, it reminds me of Huck post-timeskip.

In post timeskip Zaun there's a greenhouse called "The Herald's Palace" based on the sign that's framed with blue swirls similar to Jinx's tattoos, and it's being guarded by men wearing masks similar to the Machine Herald. The guards are even given long clubs reminiscent to the Herald's staff.

When Viktor visits Singed to share his research, when he looks into the container holding Rio, Viktor’s reflection in the fluid and glass makes him appear in better health compared to now. (Chemtech, the answer to filters in a pre-instagram world)

In the same scene, the silhouette of Rio's body vaguely resembles the outline of the Machine Herald's mask that appeared in the tarot card scene. The stand that frames the shot even resembles the Machine Herald's staff.

Speaking of the tarot card, in Viktor's "the Magician" card, the figure is holding an object that could be the hexcore. What's more interesting is that within that hexcore-like object is Jinx's champion teaser tag, it was just turned sideways to resemble the math symbol fish, ∝, though sideways it still makes Jinx's "X". On top of that both tarot cards are initialed with a "VJ", like Viktor and Jinx.

This is just a quick rundown because there's a bunch of the cosmic Void imagery that gets crossed with the human biology that will take longer to get into. It's just interesting how Viktor's story, which initially stood alone in Zaun and was largely influenced by Piltover is now becoming more entagled into the stories of Zaun's more influential champions, Singed and Jinx.

depressing ass article i just read

[ghost-orion]

there's something that feels so shitty about how, when youtubers sell their own products, they never, ever shout out, acknowledge or appreciate the factory workers who made it possible. youtubers with their own make up stores, nail polish stores, clothes, even something like a jigsaw puzzle. you might even get footage from the factory, yknow, how novel. but the faces of the people making your product are always obscured. in one video, the youtuber thanked the design team of the production company who worked directly with them, which is good, but then, they never even mentioned how it was produced. because it was made by a person making it.

The vending machine dialogue for each of the snacks is so funny and cute and they're siblings your honor.

Transcripts under the cut:

Hotdog $7

Edgeworth: "When you're in hot water, you might need a hot dog." ... Hmm... It looks like the slogan was decided through a public contest. And the winner was... Prosecutor Winston Payne... ?

Franziska: Hmph. What a pathetic slogan. No presence at all! Now if it was up to me it would read... "If you leave matters in a Von Karma's hands, everyone in court will be found guilty dogs!"

Edgeworth: ... Objection!

Franziska: Overruled!

Orange Juice $9

Edgeworth: "When it's looking bad, blind your opposition with some OJ!" Are they promoting violence?

Franziska: Don't worry. My whip will make sure anybody following this advice won't be for long.

Edgeworth: (Compared to the sting of a whip, the sting of orange juice may not be so bad.. )

Beef Jerky $9

Edgeworth: "Don't be a jerk in court like these beef jerks!" I see...

Franziska: Objection! Miles Edgeworth! Wouldn't you agree that it's a very clever pun?

Edgeworth: Do you really think they put that much effort into the product name?

Franziska: *with lots of shaking and flashing* Even a foolish fool could understand the foolish thinking of the fool who made it up! *without the shaking and flashes* You're acting so foolishly that I got so thoroughly mad, and am now utterly famished!

Edgeworth: ... If you wanted a pack of these, all you had to do was act like a normal person.

Milk $7

Edgeworth: "Defendant's Fresh Milk!" ... What exactly is that supposed to mean?

Franziska: I bet it means that the milk is freshly milked by various defendants on trial right now.

Edgeworth: No, I think it might mean that this was milked right here from the various defendants.

Franziska: Miles Edgeworth... You can't possibly be serious!

Edgeworth: ... Of course not.

Ham Sandwich $8

Edgeworth: "Don't let the prosecution and the defense make a ham sandwich out of you!" ...?

Franziska: It sounds like it's directed at that ham of a Judge.

Edgeworth: Well, it certainly isn't directed at me. I can out-maneuver him any day.

Swiss Rolls $6

Franziska: "Stay neutral as the Swiss do until the end of these!" ... The end of what?

Edgeworth: Well, I assume it means the end of the trial. I suppose this means that one should eat these during a recess...?

Franziska: You can't eat during a trial so I suppose the only time you can eat them is now, huh!

Edgeworth: I wouldn't mind if you wanted to eat one niw. They come in packs of two, after all.

Franziska: Hmph. We're in the middle of an investigation! Besides, I don't have $6 on me!

Edgeworth: If you want, we can pool our money and buy a pack together.

Franziska: If I have to split it with you, then I don't want it!

So apparently the company that made HaveIBeenTrained.com is actively working on tools and APIs for machine learning companies to better tell who is and isn't okay with their websites being scraped for training data, and they have partnerships with ArtStation and Stability. I might just have to settle for their ai.txt in concert with OpenAI's new robots.txt declaration.

I still don't trust AI corpos, and I don't believe justice can be served unless the current models are completely destroyed and retrained from scratch on legitimately-obtained data, but if I keep wringing my hands about how to block webscrapers from grabbing images off a static webpage, I will never be able to get my website off the ground. I WANT to POST to the INTERNET!

Absolutely making shit up as I go. Still finishing the other one and then I have to figure out how to attach them without ruining it all. I actually made my own pattern and cut fabric out to it without crying or panicking this time. So that's progress.

(Ignore how uneven those look, that's my abysmal posture at work. They do actually match in length when I'm standing still. And despite the lighting weirdness, it all matches.)

Annual Crane Inspections: Investing in Long-Term Safety and Reliability

Cranes are essential equipment for many industries, such as construction, mining, manufacturing, and transportation. They enable the lifting, moving, and positioning of heavy loads with ease and efficiency. However, cranes also pose significant risks to workers, property, and the environment if they are not properly maintained and operated. That’s why annual crane inspections are vital for ensuring the safety and reliability of your cranes.

Benefits of Annual Crane Inspections

Prevent accidents and injuries. Cranes are complex machines that have many moving parts and components. Over time, these parts can wear out, break down, or malfunction due to various factors, such as weather, usage, or age. If these issues are not detected and fixed in time, they can lead to catastrophic failures that can cause serious accidents and injuries to workers, bystanders, or other equipment. Annual crane inspections can help you identify and correct any potential problems before they become hazards.

Extend the lifespan of your cranes. Cranes are expensive assets that require regular care and maintenance to keep them in good working condition. Annual crane inspections can help you prolong the lifespan of your cranes by ensuring that they are functioning optimally and efficiently. By detecting and repairing any minor issues early on, you can prevent major damages that can shorten the life of your cranes or require costly replacements.

Improve the performance of your cranes. Cranes are designed to perform specific tasks with precision and speed. However, if your cranes are not calibrated, aligned, or balanced properly, they can lose their accuracy and productivity. Annual crane inspections can help you optimize the performance of your cranes by ensuring that they are adjusted and fine-tuned according to the manufacturer’s specifications and industry standards.

Comply with the regulations and standards. Cranes are subject to various regulations and standards that govern their design, installation, operation, maintenance, and inspection. These regulations and standards are set by federal, state, and local authorities, as well as industry associations and organizations. Annual crane inspections can help you comply with these regulations and standards by verifying that your cranes meet the required criteria and documentation.

This whole AI art debacle has just got me resentful honestly. I remember when DALL-E mini was the hot thing and having fun making vaguely nonsensical images of tigers with wings that looked like lumps of clay and fictional characters in divorce court, because why not? Before that, neuralblender which would take like 15 minutes to pop out an absolutely incomprehensible image that had its own unique style. ChatGPT being used to make weird nonsensical 4chan memes (see: creepy or wet). I was super excited when I finally got a membership to use DALL-E 2 because it's a fun visualizer for ideas that I have no idea how to represent in art! And yet instead of AI tools being used as experiments or concept makers or anything like that, it's replacing real people. Who gives a shit about artists when you can make a machine that pops out art that looks legit at a quick glance for free? Who gives a shit about writers when an AI can hold a vaguely in-character conversation with you? Who gives a shit about academic integrity when you can let a machine vomit a blend of other peoples' work into an essay that shows no real understanding of a topic? AI has legitimate usefulness but like any new technological tool it's been abused as a way to replace real work and passion and it's infuriating. I'd rather every animated show I watch from now on to look like Nyan Neko Sugar Girls knowing it was made by real people who care about their work than a beautiful looking show with AI backgrounds made by a company that wants to skip out on having to pay a whole team of employees.
