A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procal Harum

A harmonic dialogue between the modern and rustic, taking place in the idyllic Dá Licença retreat, in the heart of the Portuguese countryside.

The messed with the Titan is all kinds off fucked.

... But the controller thing that everyone has latched onto is far from the worse thing. Actually using game controllers is industry standard as it's easier to use and learn.

I rather focus on things like the real safety neglecance, lack of proper procalls, the waivers, and the fact the damn things window was never met for this sort of dive.

Oceangate can go fuck themselves.

I am an engineer and I am also a gamer. I have had many video game controllers, mice, keyboards, communications wires, and MANY other things fail on me. Like. In my industry we have emergency stop devices, right? When those devices are activated we have the software stop the system. But what do you do if the software fails? That is why our emergency devices also cut power so if they are hit when communications goes down, things still stop. Just with my experience with all of that alone I would not go with a single video game controller, even if it is standard. First I would want backups. Second I would want some kind of physical backup that doesn’t require software to run. Like someway of turning the vehicle if the normal software breaks down. Also. I know it is harder to do glass in submarines. But I wouldn’t want my only way to view out to be cameras which can fail. That sounds like a bad idea. (Though you talking sounds like there was a window, if so that thing needs to be made and sealed properly). Also. There should be some way to open the thing from the inside if the sub surfaces without support nearby. Also also. There should have been some kind of locator device on the thing. That is common sense. Why wouldn’t you have that on there? Though. It looks like the thing might have lost structural stability from last year to this year (since this wasn’t their first trip down there). You really have to keep up with your maintenance and your checks and if things seem a little close to the line of safe vs danger, you pull the plug and get it fixed. And. Just because you did something once with borderline safe/unsafe equipment doesn’t mean you will keep getting lucky.

However. With all of that said. People are very fucking good at lying to and tricking themselves and others. People march into danger because they have tricked themselves into thinking that it is worth it or safe. And like. Yes we can call them dumb and stupid. But they are still human. We ALL make very stupid and dumb mistakes our whole lives. We are all very capable of making a fatal mistake like this. “Oh, I am still safe to drive, just one drink over is fine”. “Oh I can take that turn at this speed, I have done it dozens of times”. “Oh, that wild animal looks friendly I should pet it”. And so many other things. I will always feel bad for people that lose their lives doing something like that. Because they are human. Because I have made dumb mistakes by misreading something. Because no matter how smart we think we are, all it takes is one slip up or one lapse in judgment. Like. I said I was an engineer. I am also dumb as hell. There are so many things I don’t know. And I know I have made mistakes thinking I knew what was going on when I really didn’t. They aren’t really as fatal. But they could be.

[ofgutfeelings]

Matt was a hot mess as Severide liked to put it. Sometimes it was nice to be friends best friends with a guy like Kelly Severide because he pushes you towards your limits, out of your comfort zone just you name it. I had experience; with dating, I had fallen in love once; and I was gearing up for the next steps; for the marriage for the idea of a family which I was in love with. Hallie needed more time; and right when we wanted to figure out out; she was gone. Not at the hands of me; but a dirty cop; the hands of death. The one event I had yet to fully process. The holidays the Christmas time spirt had always been our favorite. Perhaps that’s why I hadn’t had the urge to start hanging up the lights. The different colors; the tree I had yet to take out of the garage; mind you I had picked out a tree; intending to start decorating my house; the house we once shared. It brought joy but also pain. But today I apparently was in the right mood; the mood to joke at the idea of hanging up lights. 

Not that I was clumsy; compared to the other guys at the station I knew how to hold my balance, but Sylvie she was flustered, at the comments; the teasing remarks both of us shared with the other now. She was a paramedic if I were to take a fall down the ladder, or if I missed a step on the porch it would be bright to have a medic on hand; not to mention we were friends before Hallie. We were friends always; and I know I’ve been detached lately, I’ve been kept to myself; head down at the job. During eating hours in the main lobby with tables; near the kitchen, I’d have a handbook opened; pretending to read over each procall, each right procedure in hopes everyone would get the hint to leave me be. But Sylvie she always checked in on me; this morning was no different. 

A soft hint of a smile landed on bare lips as I answered. “ It would be bright; I tend to hold my balance, but what if I lost focused.. We don’t need 61 picking up a call for me.” Teasing written in his voice with a laugh that was heard. Not that Matt was convinced he’d be taking a fall but it was the best excuse to hang out with someone who wasn’t pressuring him to date,who wasn’t on his ass about how he was doing. The blonde cared enough to only ask questions she felt he was comfortable answering. She was flustered; she was rambling and I had to admit to myself it was cute. To see her ramble; to catch her off guard with my own question. Nodding my head along; the male had aired out a reply. “ Now that’s a date I can get on board of. Hot Chocolate and hanging up lights, Severide’s got nothing on you.” A amusement of course he had to laugh at himself. Did he use the word date? Was he giving the female the wrong idea? About tonight? The last thing the male wanted was to lead her on. Was he ready to date? No; he was ready to start branching out; ready to start socializing again. Not that there were many on his list of who he wanted to hang out with. 

But he found himself correcting himself; as if he was an idiot who didn’t know the different meanings behind the word date. “ I mean.. It’s not a date just a planned meeting, I mean hang out.” A confused flustered Matt; yeah that was never in the books. What a fool I was asking. Eyes shut briefly as he tried to zone out his own humiliation. It all happens naturally; the words echoed in his head as he found himself calming down; her touch sent a shiver down his back; one that felt odd unfamiliar that he brushed off as he met her eyes. “ Thank you, and I think you’re right, I’ll see you tonight.” He aired out; knowing a bell could go off at any moment; and he was ready to head home after an over night shift; he felt the tiredness in him; but he was hanging on.

Matt Casey had closed himself off to the idea of getting close to anyone again. Not after losing Hallie. Her death had haunted him. She was once the love of his life; the woman he was planning a life with, and suddenly she was gone. And he felt like it was his fault. He was the one that wanted to go after Voight; the dirty cop and as repercussions his girl got the burn. Casey never forgave himself for that. He carried the weight of her death with him for years. 

Through all my impatience, all the pain I’ve felt there was one person who never made me feel guilty for what happened and that was Sylvie. We hung out off shift; we would grab a bite from time to time. She was great friend; but recently I started to experience the notion that it could be more. The way I felt when her eyes were on me, the way I found myself letting my glaze linger after her. I had realized I looked forward to seeing her; it felt familiar and safe for me to keep these pent up feelings to myself. I knew in house romances tended to fizzle out; it was about the chase, to who you could be with. And once you realized the spark was a fleeting feeling the relationship fizzles out. And Sylvie I couldn’t open that can of worms when I was unsure if what I was feeling was real. Last night I had tossed and turned with the idea all night. To say Sylvie kept me up all night was an understatement. I knew what Severide would say; he’d say go for it fuck the consequences Because he was all about the risk and gain philosophy. But i liked to play it safe; so all I could do was act normal. 

Wear a smile, and pretend like my eyes weren’t aching to close. I spotted the blonde at the back of ambo; she looked like she was adding supplies; or doing her own morning inventory. I had walked until I paused besides the ambo, I had offered a smile; it was cute the way she jumped before turning to face me. 

“ Looks like your morning has been eventful. “ Words echoed out; as he heard the story of all the christmas decorations gone wrong; I had to laugh at the humor of it. Christmas was a joyful time, all the lights, the music playing in the background; Herrmann made use we felt the spirit; I could already hear the christmas music playing in the house. It was nice; to feel that sense of home here at the firehouse. “ Remind me never to attempt to set up lights on my own. I might need you to stop by as standby ensure I don’t get tangled up.” A joke; but of course the female kenw she was always welcomed to save me. There’s no one else I’d count on. 

Last night; my plans, a drink with Severide; we chatted, got a beer or two, Stella was there and one of the single ladies; which meant Severide was attempting to set me up for the holidays; I had to roll my eyes at the memory. “ Unless you count Severide trying to tell me I need to date again nothing too out there.” Causally saying the words; or perhaps I was testing the waters; see if the blonde cared; I suppose this is when I’d have the answer if this relationship was worth the risk.

funniest ASIT moments i can remember off the top of my head:

the whole procal dukat scene.. that old dude was SO needlessly strong. go grandpa. garak had to poison him in order to stop him and he wasnt even at full consciousness or strength. no wonder Day of the Vipers decided that he used to be a street fighter

garak saying “I’m your worst nightmare” at least twice

tolan just said no to tain & refused to tell him how to make a poison and tain didn’t do anything about it. king.

the whole ‘if tain was the father of the obsidian order then prang was its mother’ line that made me stop reading so i could laugh as i imagined that guy being another of tain’s secret lovers

the way garak describes dukat’s neck so much whenever dukat is in a scene

[evstrrratt]

i always wanted to know, what had happened between Garak and Dukat's father (Procal Dukat??)

also i needed an excuse to draw Garak in SS-like uniform (because Obsidian Order always reminded me of SS on many cases)

[mila-suggestion]

It’s right that I’m happy on my own where I can help people who needs helping in a good way, but she’s Skrain Dukat’s daughter and the granddaughter of Procal Dukat. Leave their family alone for once would you? I know you and Elim enjoy toying with Skrain, but Ziyal is innocent.

Dette gjør TV-en din bedre

Dato: 02-11-2015 10:00 CET Opprinnelig tittel på pressemeldingen: Dette gjør TV-en din bedre Kategori: , bildeekspert kalibrering prøv varen gratis stort utvalg billig elektronikk fornøyde kunder elkjøp mihkku tostrup YouGov gorm sørensen procal tv-kalibrering Dersom nyhetsoppleseren ser solbrent ut, er TV-en din feilinnstilt. De aller fleste nye TV-er trenger kalibrering, men bare tre av ti gjør noe med det.

Dersom nyhetsoppleseren ser solbrent ut, er TV-en din feilinnstilt. De aller fleste nye TV-er trenger kalibrering, men bare tre av ti gjør noe med det.

– Så godt som alle nye TV-er kommer med overdrevne farger som skal skille seg ut og imponere potensielle kjøpere. Det ser kanskje penere ut, men bildet skiller seg mye fra virkeligheten og kan være slitsomt å se på, sier lyd- og bildeekspert Mihkku Tostrup i Elkjøp.

For å få en ny TV til å vise et naturlig bilde, må den kalibreres. Skal det gjøres ordentlig, må en profesjonell kalibratør endre bildeinnstillinger og tilpasse TV-en til lysforholdene i rommet skal stå i.

– Å kalibrere handler om å gjøre TV-en i stand til å gjenskape virkeligheten slik den var da den ble filmet, eller å gjenskape den stemningen filmskaperen så for seg da filmen ble laget, sier Tostrup.

Tre av ti nordmenn har kalibrert den TV-en de kjøpte sist, viser en undersøkelse YouGov har gjort for Elkjøp. Én av tre har ikke noe forhold til begrepet kalibrering.

– Sannsynligvis er det enda færre som har kalibrert TV-en sin. Mange tror at de selv kan endre noen innstillinger på TV-en og få den riktig kalibrert. Slik er det ikke. Dette er en møysommelig prosess som krever kompetanse og dyrt utstyr, sier kalibreringsekspert Gorm Sørensen i Procal.

Solbrent programleder

Sørensen har drevet med kalibrering av TV-er og projektorer i 15 år. Han utfører denne tjenesten for blant annet reklamebyråer, filmselskaper og selgere av hjemmekinoutstyr.

– Ser nyhetsoppleseren i Dagsrevyen ut som om han kommer rett fra solariet, har du sannsynligvis en dårlig kalibrert TV. Ved riktig kalibrering skal hudtonene se ekte ut. Både rødfargen på colaetiketten og grønnfargen på gresset skal se ut som i virkeligheten, sier Sørensen.

På mange TV-er er det vanskelig å se hva som skjuler seg i mørket og i de lyseste partiene.

– Det handler om å få et riktig forhold mellom lys og mørke. Etter kalibrering vil flere detaljer tre fram fra skyggene og fra det hvite, sier Sørensen.

En annen typisk ”feil” på nye TV-er er at de sender ut litt for kraftig blått lys.

– Blåstikket kan få en scene fra varme Karibia til å se iskald ut, og det kan være slitsomt for øynene å forholde seg til så mye blått og kraftig lys. De fleste nye TV-er er rett og slett helt på bærtur før de blir kalibrert, sier Sørensen.

Elektrokjedene har nå begynt å tilby kalibrering av nye TV-er som en ekstratjeneste. Elkjøp har skaffet seg utstyr, bygget testrom og lært opp ansatte for å kunne kalibrere TV-er som skal stå i normalt belyste norske stuer.

– Hver tredje nye TV selges nå ferdig kalibrert fra oss. Vårt inntrykk er at kunder som kjøper kalibrerte TV-er er mer fornøyd enn dem som ikke velger denne tjenesten, sier Mihkku Tostrup i Elkjøp.

Dette kan du gjøre selv

Selv om ordentlig kalibrering bør overlates til ekspertene, kan du får et bedre bilde ved å foreta noen endringer i menyene selv.

– De fleste TV-er har bildeinnstillinger som heter ”naturlig” eller ”filmmodus”. De gir som regel et mer naturlig bilde enn ”standard” og ”dynamisk”. Bruk ”naturlig” om dagen og ”filmmodus” om kvelden, sier Gorm Sørensen.

I tillegg bør du gjøre noen små justeringer i bildemenyen.

– Skru ”skarphet” helt av. Denne funksjonen skaper bare støy på moderne TV-er. Ikke rør ”lysstyrke”, for denne innstillingen er som regel korrekt. Skru i stedet litt ned ”kontrast” og ”farge”, sier Gorm Sørensen.

VERSE: Afterlife

Cardassians didn’t believe in an afterlife, not after the denouncement of the Hebitian religion - the Oralian Way.

But, looking around the dark space he now occupied, Procal Dukat had to admit he’d never thought the afterlife would be like...

This.

He’d spoken to some creatures so long ago that even his fine tuned Cardassian memory had forgotten who they were, what they’d said. A little voice in the back of his mind hissed ‘they wanted you to forget,’ and the paranoia inside of him agreed. He agreed.

The creatures hadn’t spoken to him since, not in decades. Was it decades? Existence was like a dream, a nightmare. When consciousness came to him, he expected to wake up on Cardassia, in that interrogation room, that sharply dressed Obsidian Order agent standing over him.

Instead, he existed in this purgatory, drifting in and out of awareness. It was out of his control, and possibly in the hands of the creatures. He wasn’t sure how they were doing this, showing him select bits of a linear timeline.

His wife, his homeland. His daughter in law and her children, his son. Others he didn’t bother thinking of when he did not have to see them.

Long ago, he’d asked if this was punishment for his crimes, for betraying Cardassia with his ambition, and received no answer. As life went on, and the visions focused more and more on his son, he began to wonder if this wasn’t punishment for him, but for Skrain.

The Prophets, the Pah-wraiths, whatever showed him his son’s rise and fall, were they just waiting for Skrain to die? So that when he joined him in this afterlife, he would know his father had seen every one of his disgraces, his horrible mistakes?

The half-Bajoran girl his son had sired flooded his vision, Tora Ziyal, and Procal scowled. If he were alive, he would have never bothered to remember her name, would have followed in his wife’s footsteps and disowned Skrain as she did. But in death-

His son’s second in command raised his weapon and fired.

It really was his son’s hell he was occupying, Procal thought, as she appeared beside him like she’d been transported. Her body was being cradled by his son, and for the first time, he could look away from the vision. All there was to look at was the girl.

Oddly enough, he found that looking at her was preferable to the view of his son being consumed by grief.

[deepspacedukat]

I was scrolling through the Gul Dukat tag looking for new stuff, as one does, and I found a prompt blog. The prompt from the search was: ‘Imagine calling Gul Dukat to tell him you fucked his dad’ and I lost it. The picture attached was just Marc’s face in absolute shame.

I think his dad is dead (according to beta canon?) but if he’s not that’s absolutely hilarious. “Sorry, I traded up. I prefer my men with a little more mileage- their systems run smoother and I like to enjoy the ride.”

I know I’ve sent you way too many asks tonight but I couldn’t resist this one. You absolutely had to know about it.

Also I saw a photo of Damar’s actor earlier by accident and how in the heck has he gotten better looking?? It nearly killed me. He was in the middle of Marc and Jeffrey and it was absolutely magical.

-Horta-in-Charge

As one does, of course lol. I'm curious about what prompt blog that was... 👀

I do love that prompt omg. Dukat's dad is dead, both in beta canon and regular canon (it was mentioned in S3E7 "Civil Defense" not that I know or anything). But yeah, I love the idea of his dad being alive and you just being like "I prefer a smoother ride." Like 😂😂😂 Looks like it's your turn to be humiliated, Gul. We prefer Procal over here 🤚. Sorry, Skrain!

Friend, you can never send too many asks! I always enjoy them, so please feel free to send as many as you like!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg Casey Biggs is v handsome out of makeup, I cannot tell a lie. We love older men on this blog. ISTG all three of them are ridiculously attractive 🤚
