Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, the Junior Diver Rowdyruff Boys Z are BACK!

That's right, kids: my Junior Diver Rowdyruff Boys Z fan designs from 2021 are given the UltimateOptimus-Brand Overhaul Upgrade, the Boys themselves clad in their ever-so sporty, stylish and colorful RRBZ Boys' One-Piece Beachbody Shorty Swimsuits and now have brand new RRBZ Swim Caps, Snorkels, Air Gauges and Buoyancy Compensators with Air-Integrated Regulators (AIR) to go alongside their main RRBZ Dive Masks, Dive Fins, Air Tank and Mouthpiece Regulator Scuba Rigs based on my upgrades to my Scubified Scubapuff Girls in both '98 and Z flavors!

Speaking of which, the Z Boys are not diving alone: the 1998 Junior Diver Rowdyruff Boys themselves too dive clad in their RRB Boys' One-Piece Beachbody Swimsuits, Swim Caps, Dive Masks, Snorkels, Dive Fins, Air Tanks, Buoyancy Compensators with AIRs, Air Gauges and Mouthpiece Regulators in an Oldschool-Meets-Newschool, West-Meets-East, Cartoon-Meets-Anime crossover to remember, Scuba Jojo Style!

And speaking of Scuba Jojo, seeing as the CN.com Powerpuff Girls Shockwave game Scuba Jojo gave us the Powerpuff Girls in scuba gear and I and fellow aquafan artists popularized it and created the Junior Diver Rowdyruff Boys as a concept, it would stand to reason I imagine a version of that game wherein the Rowdyruff Boys suit up and gear up in boys' beachbody swimwear and scuba gear in their normal clothes' colors, launch out of Mojo Jojo's submarine they're aboard and go diving for the Scuba Powerpuff Girls in which the Scubapuffs and Scubaruffs throw a superpowered scuba brawl underwater for all the Power Gems under the waters - hence this little fan art of mine.

Dear Vector Prime, I recently saw the Super Mario Bros movie and, I couldn't help but wonder, have Transformers ever visited the Mushroom Kingdom?

Dear Mushroom Master,

Indeed they have! You may recall the Maximal starship Dianosk and its many deep-space colonization missions—here is the story of one such adventure…

Several solar cycles after departing Starbase Rugby with a fresh complement of thirty protoforms, the four-man crew of the starship Dianosk—consisting of captain Updraft, engineer Ratchet, security officer Regulator, and ensign Brakeline—arrived at a red planet somewhere on the spinward edge of the galaxy. While the planet Dykayra had been known to Cybertronian astronomers for some time, no Transformer had set foot on the planet since before the Great War, many millions of stellar cycles ago.

Although the Dianosk picked up no signs of extant intelligent life, orbital scans picked up vast forests of skyscraper-sized mushrooms, whose toxic spore clouds would choke out any organic lifeform in nanokliks. More intriguingly, their sensors detected rich veins of subterranean energon, as well as signs of extensive prior habitation—the tips of ancient, crumbling towers poked up through the red fungal canopy, while abandoned maglev lines and crumbling superhighways criss-crossed the planet. Intrigued at the prospect of discovering a lost civilization, Updraft ordered his crew to land their ship in an abandoned spaceport; to better explore the planet’s treacherous, fungus-based ecosystem, he decided to activate a protoform to assist them in their endeavors, whose native alternate mode would allow him to better explore the terrain. The scanning process yielded FunGus, a gregarious young Transformer whose unusual mycelium alternate form allowed him to easily navigate the planet’s terrain.

The five-man exploration team established a temporary command post as a beachhead for further exploration of the city. As they picked through the detritus, the team uncovered many strange clues regarding the planet’s prior inhabitants—garments they surmised to be hazard suits of some kind, and an abandoned botanical research lab where dozens of brightly colored mushrooms had long ago burst from their holding tanks—perhaps, they surmised, the source of many of the strange, colorful mushrooms that seemed to form the ecosystem’s primary basis. Before the team could report back to Updraft, however, they were attacked by dozens of strange, humanoid fungi! Although the creatures only wielded crude melee weapons fashioned from old lead pipes and rusted nails, they were numerous, and difficult to deter—worse yet, amidst the chaos, FunGus abruptly turned on his crewmates! The terrified crew dragged the wounded Brakeline to safety, even as FunGus escaped into the overgrown sewers beneath the city along with their attackers.

Unsuited as they were to trekking through the dangerous fungal jungle, it took several more solar cycles before the rest of the team could locate their escaped ensign; when they did find him, it was in a series of abandoned catacombs, where a network of glowing tendrils connected him and hundreds of other fungus-creatures to an enormous, building sized fungus. As one, the aliens moved in on the Cybertronian explorers… but, before the encounter could descend into violence, FunGus announced that Queen Mycellium, ruler of their collective, had chosen him to serve as her mouthpiece. Millennia ago, she explained, their race began as parasites: a freak lab accident created a race of aggressive spore-based lifeforms who reproduced through unwilling hosts, until they and their progeny had choked out everything else on the planet, including the original civilization responsible for creating them. In the intervening years, however, they had attempted to move past their ignoble beginnings, and her collective hopefully marked the beginning of a new era of peace and understanding. She and her minions had mistaken FunGus for a wayward member of her own tribe, and attempted to “liberate” him from what she perceived to be alien captors; their unique form of spore-based communication had accidentally driven FunGus into a frenzy.

Fortunately for all involved, Updraft was able to settle the matter agreeably, and the planetary monarch graciously accepted his request to establish a research base and Energon mining outpost on the planetary surface. When Updraft and his crew left for their next adventure, FunGus remained behind to further map the planet and act as a kind of ambassador between the two species, ready to welcome further waves of Cybertronian colonists to this unique planet.

Similar vein: problems with your bank, credit union, or other banking institution?

All of them have what's called a regulating body. It varies based on what the exact type of institution is, but the common thread is that every. single. one. of these banking institutions spends incredible amounts of time, effort, and money to make sure that under no circumstances do they ever come to these regulators' attention.

Complaints to these regulatory bodies are treated like minor to major catastrophes by banking institutions. You WILL have your complaint examined, because they have to tell the regulating body exactly how they are rectifying it.

You can read this page to find out who regulates your banking institution here: Who Regulates My Bank?

So, I found out a fun fact this last weekend!

Every state has a Department of Weights and Measures. One of their jobs is to make sure that companies are actually selling you the quantities they claim they're selling. For example, this is the department which tests gas pumps and makes sure they're really pumping out a gallon of gas when they charge you for a gallon of gas.

So....

If you happen to, just as an example, notice that your 1lb (16 ounce) box of San Giorgio spaghetti actually only has 10oz of noodles, and you weigh your other boxes of spaghetti to discover they run from 10 to 14 ounces but never the full pound they're supposed to have, and that's why you never seem to have enough pasta for leftovers the next day, then you can report that to the Department of Weights and Measures.

They will want to know where you bought the item, and then will investigate whether the store or the manufacturer is routinely shorting customers. If they do, they will issue a fine to the offending party, you will be eligible for a refund, and under some circumstances lawsuits may follow.

Now, I don't know the outcome of the complaint I just initiated, but they did not want to know specific receipts or times of purchase. Which is good for me as I didn't keep any of those things, at the time I just said "Wow, fuck San Giorgio" and switched brands. But this is still enough to get an inspector out.

The problem with “senseless violence” narrative around the UnitedHealthcare CEO is that it ignores the inherent violence of the insurance industry. Denying someone lifesaving care is violence. Subjecting someone to drawn out periods of pain before treatment is violent. The industry is made up of millions of acts of violence everyday, with the CEO at the helm guiding it all. This is not unprovoked and it’s not an overreaction; it is just harder to ignore
