His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it.

The body was meat. Case fell into the prison of his own flesh.

Power, in Case's world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals that shaped the course of human history, had transcended old barriers. Viewed as organisms, they had attained a kind of immortality. You couldn't kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder, assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory. But Tessier-Ashpool wasn't like that, and he sensed the difference in the death of its founder. T-A was an atavism, a clan. He remembered the litter of the old man's chamber, the soiled humanity of it, the ragged spines of the old audio disks in their paper sleeves. One foot bare, the other in a velvet slipper.

Case had always taken it for granted that the real bosses, the kingpins in a given industry, would be both more and less than people. He'd seen it in the men who'd crippled him in Memphis, he'd seen Wage affect the semblance of it in Night City, and it had allowed him to accept Armitage's flatness and lack of feeling. He'd always imagined it as a gradual and willing accommodation of the machine, the system, the parent organism. It was the root of street cool, too, the knowing posture that implied connection, invisible lines up to hidden levels of influence.

"No," he said, and then it no longer mattered, what he knew, tasting the salt of her mouth where tears had dried. There was a strength that ran in her, something he'd known in Night City and held there, been held by it, held for a while away from time and death, from the relentless Street that hunted them all. It was a place he'd known before; not everyone could take him there, and somehow he always managed to forget it. Something he'd found and lost so many times. It belonged, he knew—he remembered—as she pulled him down, to the meat, the flesh the cowboys mocked. It was a vast thing, beyond knowing, a sea of information coded in spiral and pheromone, infinite intricacy that only the body, in its strong blind way, could ever read.

REQUEST - IDW - Dominus Ambus/Rewind - Technology, body modification. Rewind and Dominus fuck in the functionist universe while the latter has a TV screen for a head. Bonus if Dominus' screen becomes glitched as he becomes more aroused, or if Rewind hacks into the display to play videos when they fuck.

The FV101 Scorpion is a British Cold War light tank designed to be airlifted into global conflict zones. It features a 76mm main gun and aluminum armor, making it both a lightweight and fast reconnaissance vehicle. Authored by Will Dabbs for The Armory Life, the article details the Scorpion's historical significance, technical specifications, and various deployments, including during the Falklands War and the Gulf War. Known for being the fastest production tank, the Scorpion was widely exported beyond the UK to countries like Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand. Although Will Dabbs once dreamed of owning one, the practical challenges, including maintenance of its Jaguar engine, led to that dream remaining unfulfilled. Despite this, the Scorpion remains a desirable collectible due to its versatility, speed, and air transportability.

Genetically Modified Seeds: The Controversial Agricultural Revolution

Genetically modified (GM) crops are plants used in agriculture whose DNA has been modified using genetic engineering methods. The most common traits introduced to GM crops are herbicide tolerance and insect resistance. Herbicide Tolerance in Genetically Modified Seeds One of the earliest applications of genetic engineering in agriculture was to make crops tolerant to herbicides, so that weeds could be eliminated with herbicide spraying without killing the crops. Two main herbicide tolerance traits that have been introduced through genetic engineering are glyphosate tolerance and glufosinate tolerance. Glyphosate, marketed by Monsanto under the trade name Roundup, is a broad-spectrum herbicide that kills weeds but not crops engineered to be tolerant. Glufosinate is another broad-spectrum herbicide to which some crops have been engineered to be tolerant. These modifications allow farmers to spray herbicide over the top of entire fields and only kill the weeds, not the crops. Insect Resistance through Bt Technology Many GM crops are genetically engineered to produce one or more insecticidal proteins from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Known as Bt crops, they are insects resistant. Corn and cotton are the main crops engineered with Bt technology to be resistant to certain Lepidopteran or Coleopteran insect pests. The Bt proteins expressed in these GM crops only affect insect species within these orders and have no reported effects on other organisms including humans. Bt crops allow farmers to reduce or eliminate insecticide applications for key pests. Potential Benefits of GM Crops Besides reducing herbicide and insecticide use, Genetically Modified Seeds are promoted as having benefits such as increased crop yields through built-in pest and weed management, economic gains for farmers, increased food security by boosting global food supplies, and environmental benefits from reducing tillage needs. Many farmers have adopted GM crops due to economic and productivity advantages, reduced labor needs, and opportunities to farm more sustainably. Supporters argue that GM technology can play an important role in helping agriculture meet the challenging demands of feeding a growing global population. Skepticism and Criticism around GM Crops While GM crops have been embraced globally, controversy and skepticism also exists. Some criticism includes concerns over unknown long-term health and environmental risks, possibility of new superweeds and superpests developing resistance, lack of testing and regulation, domination of the seed industry by a few major corporations, and socioeconomic issues around licensing practices and seed patents. Opponents argue that natural plant breeding methods can achieve the same goals as GM without exposing the food supply or environment to potentially hazardous risks that genetic engineering may entail. There are also concerns that the spread of transgenes from genetically modified seeds to wild relatives or conventional crops cannot be prevented and could impact biodiversity. Developing countries are more cautious about adopting GM crops due to lack of local research capacity and health monitoring infrastructure.

I’ve been watching a lot of Bringus Studios, a tech channel, and if he has taught me anything it is that if any somewhat modern device has a motherboard, it can run half life, but slap a gpu in it and you typically have a half decent rig (most of the time)

I once had an English teacher who assigned us books that were definitely not all appropriate for class, and I really disliked her because, being a queer trans person, I would read it through that lens, but she always tried to dismiss my analysis of the books through this lens, but I think the worst thing she ever did was assign us Lovestar. She wanted a book originally written by an Icelander in the curriculum because this was in Iceland, but I have no idea why she chose that one. I remember every single detail of what happened in Lovestar, and I really wish I didn't. She also assigned us The God of Small Things, from which I remember most of the plot, but none of the lessons it was meant to teach. These books affected me so much in none of the ways I think they were meant to, and honestly looking back on the combination of books she assigned it also says a lot about her character and personal life that I do not care to know.

Composite fuel tank service [Aprilia Leonardo restoration] ⛽🛢️🪄⚙️ by Denis Korza The first video in a series of videos on the maintenance and restoration of the Italian-Japanese scooter Aprilia Leonardo (Yamaha Majesty engine). Fuel system is the place to start maintenance of any not new vehicles because problems with the engine power system are the most common causes of power loss and unstable engine performance. But despite this fact, most owners ignore this system for some reason and look for problems elsewhere. 📌 Inspection of the fuel system is recommended once a season, even if you have no obvious problems with the performance and reliability of any machinery with internal combustion engines. Since there are always some impurities and debris in the fuel, which definitely get into your fuel tank, accumulate and start clogging the entire power system. As a result, the engine loses its power potential and gains the potential for unpredictable failures. Universal step-by-step maintenance plan: 1️⃣ A typical fuel system always starts with the tank, hence inspection and cleaning should begin there. 2️⃣ Together with the fuel tank, the fuel pump, filter and fuel lines are always inspected. 3️⃣ The last step is the inspection and cleaning of the fuel-air mixture injection system/device in the engine. In case of mechanical injection - carburetor. In case of electronic injection - fuel ramp with injectors (what is usually called injector) Maintenance of TeiKei carburetors will be covered in the next issue. Good luck with your service! ☘️ Love your equipment and enjoy the trips that give you freedom! ✨ For business inquiries: korzagru@gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/deniskorza 🔰 https://www.instagram.com/korzagru https://twitter.com/korzagru https://www.facebook.com/korzagru
